Abstract This Concept Analysis according to Walker & Avant (1995) studies the concept of uncertainty in the nursing context. It consists of four parts where uncertainty in general have been encircled in a semantic analysis (part one) and a qualitative content analysis consisting of an questionnaire, distributed to the staff members at one nursing and medicine institution, with an open question about the meaning of uncertainty (part two). The third part is a literature study of the nursing context to find out how uncertainty is described (part three). Part four is the actual concept analysis based on the three first parts. Uncertainty in the nursing context is an individual conscious experience witch is changeable and impressionable. It is chained together with its antecendents and consequences.

Neuropati och angiopati är de främsta orsakerna till att fotkomplikationer uppstår hos diabetiker och flertalet fotsår som uppkommer leder till amputation. I S:t Vincentdeklarationen som tagits fram av världshälsoorganisationen finns ett mål att antalet amputationer som orsakas av diabetesfot ska halveras. Att praktisera en god behandlingsregim kan förhindra progression av sår och därmed en minskad risk för amputation. Denna litteraturöversikt syftar till att utreda vilka icke konventionella behandlingsmetoder och preventionsåtgärder som finns för sår på diabetesfot. Resultatets elva artiklar behandlar dessa områden och visar på olika metoder som kan vidtas, såsom NpHSS, Tretinoin, Citoprot- P®, elektrisk stimulering, larvterapi, vacuum kompression, hyperbariskt syre, tryckavlastande förband, C- peptid, temperaturmätning och PFC- strumpa.

Liknande resultat visades i studierna oberoende av vilket land de utfördes i..

Mainly because of the exposure of noise from the railways, though the risk for impact on the living environment for animals were low in this case there is a generally risk that it could get negative effects. It also a very important that the availability to the shore is secured. Planning in this type of area involves a great number of operators can easily cause a conflict due to the different perspectives on how the land should be used in the future, and also because of protecting different interests.

Motiverande samtal (Motivational Interviewing, MI) är en utbredd metod som används vid exempelvis drogberoende, viktminskning och diabetes för att uppnå varaktiga beteendeförändringar. Sådana här beteendeförändringar är önskvärda även inom tandvården, och syftet med denna litteraturstudie var därför att undersöka om motiverande samtal kan användas inom vårt område. Sökning i databaserna PubMed, PsycINFO via CSA och Cochrane library resulterade i sex relevanta artiklar: tre av dessa redogjorde för kariesprevention hos små barn, två behandlade rökavvänjning och en av artiklarna studerade tandvårdsutnyttjande. Analys av artiklarna indikerar att MI kan ha en ökad kariespreventiv effekt jämfört med traditionell munhälsoinformation, men angående metodens effekt på rökavvänjning och tandvårdsutnyttjande kan dock inga slutsatser dras. Vår litteraturstudie visar en tendens mot att MI kan fungera bättre än traditionell munhälsoinformation men fler studier behövs inom ämnet oral hälsa..

BakgrundWorld Health Organization anser att övervikt och obesitas (fetma) globalt sett är ett av mänsklighetens största hälsoproblem. Vid en mätning som presenterades av Statens beredning för medicinsk utvärdering år 2002 klassades cirka en halv miljon av den svenska vuxna befolkningen som obesa och nära 2,5 miljoner som överviktiga. Orsakerna till obesitas kan vara genetisk predisposition, livsstil och miljö, psykologiska faktorer eller läkemedel.Det finns en rad följdsjukdomar till övervikt och obesitas som till exempel typ 2-diabetes och hjärt-kärlsjukdomar. Även risken för att drabbas av cancer ökar, liksom artros och infertilitet. Utöver de fysiska besvären kan obesa personer även uppleva psykiska besvär som till exempel depression och ångest.Behandlingen av obesitas omfattar bland annat kostförändringar, fysisk aktivitet, farmaka och kirurgi och när det gäller kirurgi är gastric bypass ett vanligt förekommande ingrepp.
