In this project I have worked with creating a new kind of room in a hospital enviroment for children. The main purpose of the project has been to form a secure and positive experience for the patient while visiting a specific room at the department of childrens physiologi, at Drottning Silvias Children- and youth hospital in Gothenburg.The project was based on questions like how it is possible to move the focus from the unsecure and scary, to something secure and positive, when the patient is going through an testing situation.The target gruop included a wide age span (0-16 years old), therefore I have worked with a theme, H2O, that works for diffrent ages. In the room, I have applicated the theme in different levels that is changeable depending on the age of the patient.During the project I have presented my ideas for the staff at the hospital. We have discussed their problems, what they wish in their working enviroment and how they experience the situation for the patients. I have also asked the patients how they experience the specific room today.The result of the project is a visual idea of how you can create a room, that you don?t exepect to find in a hospital..

Bakgrund: Palliativ vård är en del av distriktssköterskans arbete inom hemsjukvården. Syftet med palliativ vård är att utföra åtgärder som syftar till att lindra lidande och skapa förutsättningar för livskvalitét för patient och anhöriga i livets slutskede. Den palliativa hemsjukvården ger patienten möjlighet att vårdas i sin hemmiljö och därmed kunna ta del av vardagen i större utsträckning jämfört med på en vårdinrättning. Distriktssköterskans arbete ska baseras på målinriktad humanistisk omvårdnad av patient och anhöriga där ansvaret är att råda, stödja, vårda och förebygga. Genom ärlig kommunikation och delaktighet i vården ökar tryggheten och tilliten mellan patient, anhörig och distriktssköterska.

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to answer the following questions regarding confirmation: In what ways do children seek confirmation in preschool? What are children confirmed for and how do they react to the confirmation? How is confirmation used by teachers? What do children want to receive confirmation for?The starting point for this study is based on the unique theories of Skinner, Maslow and Bronfenbrenner. The main focus with regard to Skinner?s theory (in this study) lies in reinforcement. In Maslow?s theory, the concentration is on hierarchy of needs while in Bronfenbrenner?s theory, the study centers upon interaction.

The mission was to create a prototype of a menu system for the companySystem Andersson AB. The instructions were that it has to be as interesting andmodern now as in 20 years. We had to look at technology from the cutting edgeof development to make our prototype survive in the future. WindowsPresentation Foundation (WPF) was the technique we focused on. There areonly a few applications that take advantage of WPF today, but it is predictedthat WPF will be the next generation method for developing applications to theWindows platform.To make our menu visually appealing, easy to use and at the same timefunctional, we followed the clear path and guidelines that are available ininteraction design.

The aim of the study was to study how a today journal system is applied in homecare.

AbstractThe aim of this study is to find out how the central content of the compulsory school curriculum (Lgr11) is handled in three teacher?s manuals for instruction in reading and writing for grade 1, and how these consider interaction and variation in learning how to read and write. Through a qualitative analysis with a hermeneutic approach, the three teacher?s manuals in Swedish for grade 1 were subjected to a close reading. The result shows that parts of the central content of the curriculum are considered, but that it is by studying exercises and texts that these become visible.

The object with this bachelor thesis is to illustrate if equality is present during the interaction between female and male players in the World of Warcraft with focus on the female players conception. The main question is: How does gender matter in the interaction between female and male players in WoW?

This bachelor thesis describes the views three of female WoW players and how they perceive the interaction with male players with focus on equality. The informants? personal thoughts and experiences are described.

Problemställning: eHälsa är nutiden och framförallt framtiden inom hälso- och sjukvård och anses kunna stärka delaktighet och medbestämmande för patienten. Den nya tidens patienter kräver ökad insyn, delaktighet och självbestämmande.                                   Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa eHälsa med fokus på patient empowerment.                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Metod: Litteraturstudie med 14 vetenskapliga artiklar som utifrån en induktiv ansats har granskats, analyserats och jämförts.                                                                                                                                                                    Resultat och konklusion: Resultatet visar att eHälsa ökar tillgängligheten för hälsoinformation samt hälso- och sjukvård i hemmet. eHälsa kan och bör användas som ett komplement i vården för att stärka patient empowerment, detta under förutsättning att patienten har förmåga att hantera och förstå informations- och kommunikationsverktygen, samt att ett samarbete finns med hälso- och sjukvården.                                                                                                                Implikation: Vidare forskning som berör hur sjuksköterskan kan implementera eHälsa i omvårdnadsarbetet behövs. eHälsa som begrepp bör även belysas tillsammans med övriga riktlinjer som berör informations- och kommunikationsteknologi i Kompetensbeskrivning för legitimerad sjuksköterska. Patientutbildning i eHälsa och dess tjänster bör ingå i den praktiska vårdverksamheten för att optimera egenvård och därmed bidra till att patienten erhåller empowerment.

Hälso- och sjukvården är idag under stor förändring, driven av kraven på en mer gynnsam ekonomi och en högre effektivitet, där personalen samtidigt ska kunna bemöta förväntningar från en alltmer upplyst patient. När man lyfter fram kvalitetsfrågor kan vårdens brister och fördelar upptäckas vilket kan leda till förbättringar och förändringar. Syftet med arbetet var att belysa problemområdet patienttillfredsställelse utifrån ett patientperspektiv. Genom att se vad som anses viktigt för patienten i en interpersonlig relation mellan sjuksköterska och patient kan blivande sjuksköterskor öka sin medvetenhet för problemområdet och utföra sitt arbete med en större professionalitet. En ökad patienttillfredsställelse kan leda till en ökad kvalitet på hälso- och sjukvården.
