Studier visar att följsamhet till ordinerad behandling överlag är låg, framförallt hos patienter med en kronisk sjukdom. Sättet på vilket man följer sin behandling och tar sina läkemedel har inverkan på effekten och resultatet. Att för resten av livet vara beroende av en behandling som ständigt påminner om att man är sjuk och som kanske ger biverkningar, medför förändringar i det vardagliga livet. Syftet med studien är att utifrån ett patientperspektiv lyfta fram faktorer som påverkar följsamheten hos kroniskt sjuka. Det är en litteraturstudie baserad på sju kvalitativa artiklar.

The obesity problem in the world is growing bigger and today even our companion animals are becoming heavier. In this paper the importance of a balanced diet for the companion animal is emphasised. There are many disadvantages for the animal and for the owner if the animal becomes obese and it is important to stress the facts on what the consequences might be. There are several medical conditions connected to obesity and a short summary of these will be discussed. It is often easier to prevent obesity rather than loosing the overweight and some ideas of how to do this is looked in to. In many veterinary clinics today, the veterinary nurse is the first and sometimes the only person to see the animal.

Aim: To investigate if physical exercise in combination with coaching will reduce pain and improve knee function in patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis in the knee compared to physical exercise alone.Method: The study consisted of 42 patients who were randomized to either an intervention group or a control group. Both groups followed a standardized training program at home, but the intervention group received additional support with regard to the aim of their training, as well as extra coaching during the training period of ten weeks.

 AbstractSystem methodology is in the very heart of system development, it is a crucial part of how you define your work, how you choose to approach the actual problem at hand and how to solve it. Researchers in the system development field has shown that not all methods in theory are in compliance with how it is practiced by the companies who use them. In our thesis we have studied a larger international IT- company and one of their local offices in Sweden, who some years back changed their system development method from a more traditional to an agile one. Our aim of this study has been to establish whether both of these methods has differed between theory and in actual use, and if so, why this has occurred and what the underlying rationality might have been to promote this change. Our questions that we sought to answer were; 1.

Hand hygiene compliance is one of the most important factors to prevent healtcare associated infections (HAI), which can cause unnessesary suffering, prelonged insitutional care, invalidity and higher mortality rate. It has been shown that despite regulations for hygiene compliances in healthcare, these are used unadequately. HAI affects 5-10 % of all patients in industrailized countries, in development countries the number is estimated to be up to 20 times higher. The aim of this study was to illustrate healthcareworkers hygiene compliances in patient care at a rural healthcarecentre in western India. Participant observation was used as a method, fieldnotes was taken for qualitative analysis.

Introduction: Good hand hygiene practice is the single most important measure to reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses in healthcare. For nurses, this has become more important as the spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria in hospitals is increasingObjective: To identify factors that are important for adherence to hand hygiene among health care workers with patient contact.Method: Systematic literature review. Original articles were searched in PubMed and Cinahl.Results: Factors of importance for compliance was profession, lack of time, knowledge/education, physical work environment, attitudes toward hand hygiene, and dry hands.Conclusion: More education, less workload and more visible placement of hand disinfectant containers are examples of actions that could lead to the improvement of staff hand hygiene and reduce the incidence of healthcare associated infections. Due to the fact that health care workers around the world have different training and approaches, the result of this study may be difficult to use. To increase adherence to hand hygiene, a similar study limited to a specific country, such as Sweden, would therefore be interesting to carry through.Keywords: hand hygiene, Infection Control, Compliance..

Skuldersmärta är en vanlig orsak till sjukgymnastkontakt och flertalet av dessa patienter får diagnosen subacromiell impingement (SAI). SAI behandlas med bland annat patientutbildning, manuell terapi och träning i form av hemövningar. Dock visar studier att det är vanligt att patienter inte följer sina hemträningsprogram. I behandlingen är det därför viktigt att sjukgymnasten anpassar informationen, gör patienten delaktig och bidrar till patientens motivation. För att kunna möta patientens krav behöver sjukgymnastens behandlingsmetoder utvecklas.

Swedish studies have shown that more people than expected have problems with leg ulcers and that the yearly cost for treatment per patient is approximately 26 500kr. Since the elderly population is on the rise, there is a need to highlight this growing problem, to make sure that proper assessment tools are used and to improve the standard of care given to patients with leg ulcers. The aim was to show what a difference the nurse can make to patients with leg ulcers. With all types of wounds it is imperative to establish if there is any underlying reasons since certain illnesses can cause more wounds or delay the healing process. The doctor is responsible for making the diagnosis and to prescribe the correct treatment whereas the nurse?s responsibility is for the nursing care and its documentation.

This thesis investigates the regulation of hybrid work environments by focusing on the implementation of rules by both management and employees. It examines the methods used to measure compliance and the consequences of non-compliance within organizations. The study also explores how flexibility in work arrangements and the balance between work and personal life affect employee well-being and productivity. Furthermore, it highlights the critical role of self-leadership in navigating the complexities of hybrid work, emphasizing how effective self-management can enhance organizational efficiency and employee satisfaction. We have adopted a qualitative research approach and interviewed employees, managers, and HR personnel with experience in hybrid work. The different perspectives are expected to provide insights into this area by including all levels within an organization It is evident that organizations that have clearly established rules and guidelines regarding hybrid work have achieved the best desired results.

Problembakgrund och diskussion: Skatteverket befarade att skattefelen skulle öka när revisionsplikten avskaffandes för små privata aktiebolag november 2010, vilket i media framstått som den ensam påverkande faktorn på skattefelet. Problematiken är huruvida Skatteverket beaktar flera faktorer som kan påverka beteendet, inte bara revisionspliktens avskaffande, för att kunna utveckla anpassade och effektiva strategier. En modell som angriper båda dessa problem är The ATO Compliance model. Modellen ser dels till flera faktorer som påverkar skattebetalares beslut och beteende och dels kategoriserar detta beteendet i en attitydskala visualiserad som en pyramid, utifrån vilken Skatteverket kan forma sin strategi.Syfte och frågeställning: Huvudsyftet är att studera beskattningssystemet utifrån The ATO Compliance model. Studiens syfte är att få ökad förståelse för faktorer som kan påverkar skatte-beteendet hos små privata aktiebolag samt att analysera hur väl skattebeteendet stämmer med Skatteverkets beteendepåverkans strategi utifrån delarna i The ATO Compliance model.? Vilka faktorer upplever Skatteverket respektive små privata aktiebolag har haft en inverkan på småföretagens skattebeteende efter revisionspliktens avskaffande?? Har Skatteverkets strategi ändrats efter revisionspliktens avskaffande och är den förenligt med faktorerna i BISEP model och attityderna i Compliance Pyramid?Metod: I metodens utgångspunkt valdes ett förhållningssätt utifrån respondenternas synvinkel där deras erfarenheter och upplevelser belyses, samt ett angreppssätt där författarna utgick från teori för att utforma en grund för intervjumall till kvalitativa intervjuer med utvalda respondenter.
