Bakgrund: Under det perioperativa vÄrdförloppet föreligger mÄnga riskfaktorer för patienten att utveckla oavsiktlig hypotermi. Detta kan leda till flertalet operativa och postoperativa komplikationer vilket kan skapa obehag och lidande för patienten, förlÀnga vÄrdtider och generera ökade kostnader för samhÀllet. Den perioperativa specialistsjuksköterskans omvÄrdnadsansvar innefattar ett flertal vÀrmebevarande omvÄrdnadsÄtgÀrder för att förebygga och behandla hypotermi hos patienten.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva anestesi-, operations- och intensivvÄrdssjuksköterskors vÀrmebevarande omvÄrdnadsÄtgÀrder i det perioperativa vÄrdförloppet.Metod: En studie med deskriptiv analys utfördes. Data samlades in genom en strukturerad intervjuguide. Sammanlagt deltog 36 specialistsjuksköterskor i studien.Resultat: Specialistsjuksköterskornas vÀrmebevarande omvÄrdnadsÄtgÀrder bestod utav bÄde passiva och aktiva ÄtgÀrder varav tre var utmÀrkande; att anvÀnda luftvÀrmetÀcke, att ge varma infusions- och spolvÀtskor samt att undvika onödig exponering av patienten.

Nursing care of persons having dementia diseases affecting the frontal lobes, sets special demands on the staff, but the knowledge about how to best tailor nursing care is sparse. The aim of the study was to illuminate possibilities and difficulties in nursing care of persons having dementia diseases with frontal lobe dysfunction and was carried out as a descriptive, qualitative study, based on a review of medical records and interviews with nursing staff (n=10) that was analysed with qualitative content analysis. The difficulties were related to the patients lack of inhibition and judgement, anxiety, agitation, reduced ability to care for physical needs, egocentrism, imbalance between rest and activity, and depressed mood. The possibilities were seen in relation to the nursing staffs professional encounter, characterised by being distinct and consequent, being a step ahead, being flexible and catch the moment, being calm and create a positive atmosphere, being close and trusting and being and doing together. To receive continuous feedback and support was a prerequisite for the staffs? engagement.

The objective of this thesis was to examine and analyse how various directors within old-age care, the resident-coordinator, nursing-staff, and the dementia-team apprehend the organisation of dementia nursing homes in the municipality. Our questions were the following:How important is it that the care-receivers are examined and diagnosed?Do the respondents experience difficulties with non-differentiated dementia nursing homes?Which are the advantages and disadvantages for care receivers/patients and nursing-staff if dementia care homes are differentiated according to the care-receivers dementia diagnosis and phase of illness?Are there alternative solutions to the way the municipality organise the residence for carereceivers today that might improve the situation for care-receivers/patients and nursing-staff?How does cooperation or the lack of it mint the conditions for care in dementia nursing homes?Which goals does the municipality have for the organisation of dementia care?Our approach was a qualitative method consisting of interviews to answer the objective of this thesis and our questions. Our findings are supported by a sociological analysis of organisations. Our findings show that there is a conflict of interest between the principle of permanent residence which imply that the care-receiver should not have to move against her or his will and between the use of differentiated dementia nursing homes.

To which extent elderly people at nursing homes have an influence on their daily living is currently debated. Studies have shown that they have limited influence due to restricting routines associated with nursing homes. Therefore the aim of this study was to examine how elderly people experience the ability to influence their daily living at nursing homes and how limited influence is revealed in the daily care. Five elderly people, from four different nursing homes, underwent a structured interview. The outcome of the interviews was analyzed in relation to established theories related to geriatric care.

Postoperativ sÄrinfektion Àr en komplikation som var tionde patient drabbas av efter ett kirurgiskt ingrepp. Det medför inte bara lidande och förlÀngd vÄrdtid för patienten utan kan Àven vara direkt livshotande. Den förlÀngda vÄrdtiden medför dessutom kostnader för samhÀllet, och resurser skulle kunna anvÀndas till annan vÄrd. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva sÄdana omvÄrdnadsÄtgÀrder som sjuksköterskan kan vidta för att förebygga postoperativa sÄrinfektioner. Evidensbaserade omvÄrdnadsÄtgÀrder som, var för sig minskar risken för att patienten ska drabbas av en postoperativ sÄrinfektion, och tillsammans utgör grunden för en sÀker vÄrd.

Bakgrund: En bra kommunikation Àr en förutsÀttning för god kvalitet och patientsÀkerhet i vÄrden och nÀr tvÄ olika system anvÀnds har vi funderat över vad som hÀnder med omvÄrdnadsdokumentationen nÀr patienten förflyttas mellan vÄrdenheterna. Syftet: VÄrt syfte med studien var att undersöka om de omvÄrdnadsÄtgÀrder som operations-sjuksköterskan dokumenterat i operationsplaneringssystemet och rapporterat vidare, Äterfinns i omvÄrdnadsjournalen. Metod: En kvalitetsgranskning av journalanteckningar har utförts. Inklusionskriterierna var att patienterna opererats under minst tre timmar och att vÄrdtiden efter operationen var minst 24 timmar, dÄ det var det första dygnets journalföring som kvalitetsgranskades. Sammanlagt granskades 40 stycken journaler.

The aim of this study was to describe how retired nurses, educated in Uppsala, and students at Uppsala University's nursing program experience the importance of vocation in education and career choice. None of the participants had experienced vocation as a reason for choosing nursing as a career. The main reason was instead a desire to work with people. They also expressed that it was a profession like any other. The retired nurses said that the education was something of an up-bringing with religious elements.
