The electric vehicle market has potential to contribute to Sweden?s national goal to have a fossil fuel independent transport sector by 2030. However, the market answers to a lot of challenges making it difficult for the market to fully reach its potential. The volume of electric vehicles has seen a steady increase during the last year (2012), although many of these vehicles are mostly for PR purposes or bought by the public sector that wants to lead by example. Still, barriers in the form of high purchase costs, an anxiety for the limited battery capacity and the lack of standardisation are some of the problems that the market is struggling to solve.

Elective joint surgery increases for every year and the operations are associated with postoperative pain. Postoperative pain is a well known phenomenon and pain physiology and analgesics are well known by caregivers, but the significance of the interaction between patient and caregiver is not illuminated.

The aim of the study was to describe patient?s experiences of nursing interaction in the context of postoperative pain during hospitalisation after going through knee- or hiparthropasty.

Patienter med kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) upplever ofta oro relaterat till dyspné. Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka icke-farmakologiska åtgärder som kan vidtas för att lindra patienters oro relaterat till dyspné vid KOL.  En litteraturstudie genomfördes där vetenskapliga artiklar granskades och sammanställdes. Resultatet visade att det finns ett flertal icke-farmakologiska åtgärder så som andningstekniker, fysisk träning, avledning, nutrition och kommunikation som sjuksköterskan kan undervisa och informera om för att lindra oro relaterad till dyspné. Åtgärderna bör vara individanpassade, eftersom varje patient är unik. Sjuksköterskan bör själv eller tillsammans med andra vårdinstanser försäkra sig om att patienten får den information och utbildning om sin sjukdom som krävs för att lindra patientens oro i möjligast mån.
