Suicid har länge varit den främsta dödsorsaken bland unga människor.Det är en stor uppgift för sjukvården att bemöta patienterna på ett respektfullt sätt med en öppenhet och acceptans. Att ge en personcentrerad vård kräver ett holistiskt synsätt, vilket kan vara en utmaning och bygger på god kommunikation. Det finns endast ett fåtal studier genomförda om patienters upplevelser av att bli vårdade på sjukhus. Det gör att behovet av fler studier kring ämnet bör genomföras. Syftet var att belysa patienters upplevelser av omvårdnad på sjukhus efter suicidförsök.Studien var en litteraturstudie där resultatet baserades på 11 vetenskapliga artiklar som granskades och bearbetades.

Language impairment affects the ability to communicate. Children with languageimpairment have difficulties in using language in interaction to various degrees, and the contributions of the conversational partner are of great importance. The use of languagein interaction can be analysed by means of conversation analysis. The purpose of thepresent study was to study interaction of a group of pre-school children with language impairment with four different conversational partners. These were a peer with languag eimpairment, a peer with typical language development, a pre-school teacher and a parent.

Web pages are visited through a variety of different devices with varying screensizes. One method for adapting web pages to this variety is called responsive design. Geographical information, often in the form of embedded maps, is common on the web. The combination of responsive design and geographical information has been shown to lead to interaction problems and is therefore assumed to need special considerations. This thesis examines this combination and investegates how presentation of geographical information can be adapted to responsive web design.

Photography has long been of importance for humans in aspects of community, sharing and documenting. It has previously only existed in analogue format and with larger cameras. We have presently reached a new generation of cameras and photography. The new smaller compact cameras that are provided with most cellular phones take digital images of varying quality and accounts for a large part of photography. With the emergence of social media, photography and social interaction combined came photo applications with different features.

Bachelor thesis in Interaction Design by Håkan Carlsson, spring term 2007, Malmö University, School of Arts & Communication. The climate for video sharing online is somewhere in the border of becoming a place for only the big companies to distribute material with general interest, or small communities with genre-specific interest to attract a larger audience. In this article I will look at the travelindustry to see what possibilities can be implemented into communities with interest in planning and travelling. I will argue that the importance of collaboration with different media can create a bigger picture so that more people can use and discover each other?s travel videos and experiences. I have also taken a closer look at social interaction at online communities such as MySpace and YouTube.

The purpose of this work was to investigate the adherence to basic hygiene routines among staff and to investigate if there is any difference between the adherences in diverse professions. The purpose was also to study how staff rates their own adherence to current guidelines. Data for the study were collected through observations and questionnaires. Altogether 35 people were observed and 15 answered the questionnaire. Maximum adherence was found in the category of "hand disinfection after patient contact" with a score of 96%.

Denna uppsats studerar universitetssjukhus implementering och användning av måttet KPP, kostnad per patient, inom den interna ekonomiska uppföljningen i somatisk slutenvård genom en intervju- och enkätundersökning.  Syftet är att se hur KPP bör implementeras och användas. Slutsatsen är att sjukhusens ledning inte fokuserats på den strategiska och operativa styrningen med hjälp av KPP, vilket försenat utbredningen av den interna användningen. KPP-måttet måste vara tillgängligt för alla nivåer inom sjukhuset och speciellt för verksamhetschefer med ansvar för vården av patienter; goda IT-system är också nödvändiga. Tiden sedan KPP införts har påverkat den interna användningen..

It?s known that the drug information patients get at discharge from hospital is often insufficient. Patients? ignorance of which drug they use and how to take them can lead to drug related problems, can cause suffering and heavy expenses.The aim of this study was to shed light on the patients? understanding for drug information, which was given at discharge from hospital. The literature survey was used as a method and based upon a systematic choice of scientific articles, which were found in different databases during the period of April 1 to May 31, 2008.

Syftet med studien var att beskriva hur sjuksköterskor med invandrarbakgrund upplever främlingsfientligt bemötande från patient. Metoden vi har använt för insamling av data och analys är den deskriptiva fenomenologiska humanvetenskapliga metoden enligt Giorgi. Urvalet består av sju legitimerade sjuksköterskor med invandrarbakgrund som är verksamma inom region Skåne. Data har samlats in genom djupintervjuer. Resultat: Det centrala resultatet i studien beskriver att främlingsfientliga åsikter hos en patient kan ta sig uttryck på olika sätt och att informanterna varit allt från mycket ledsna till opåverkade av händelsen. Sex olika copingstrategier har identifierats. Det organisatoriska stödet efter händelsen anses av informanterna ha varit allt från mycket positivt till helt obefintligt.

Introduktion: Regionalt cancercenter (RCC) har i samarbete med Sveriges kommuner och landsting (SKL) beslutat att varje patient med en cancerdiagnos ska bli tilldelad en kontaktsjuksköterska.Syfte: Att undersöka hur väl implementeringen av kontaktsjuksköterskan har fungerat inom den onkologiska vården på Akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala samt om de kontaktsjuksköterskor som finns arbetar i enlighet med SKL:s definition.Metod: Kvalitativ metod med semi-strukturerade intervjuer av åtta patienter med olika cancerdiagnos.Huvudresultat: Fem av de åtta deltagarna blev tilldelade en kontaktsjuksköterska eller motsvarande när de fick sin diagnos, antingen i direkt samband med diagnosen eller i ett senare skede. Resultaten tyder på att de patienter som ingår i någon slags forskningsstudie upplever sig ha en kontaktsjuksköterska som underlättar för dem och även deras behandling. Patienter som inte ingår i läkemedelsstudier upplever inte att kontaktsjuksköterskan har arbetat enligt SKL:s definition.Slutsats: Forskningssjuksköterskor är den personalkategori som arbetar närmast definitionen av kontaktsjuksköterska. Brister gällande sjukvårdens tillgänglighet, förmåga att ge fullgod information samt att erbjuda anhöriga stöd har uppmärksammats. Ytterligare forskning måste utföras för att resultaten ska kunna bekräftas.  .

AbstractThis text deals with one of the preschool everyday routine chores, and the phenomenon I have chosen to investigate is the hallway situation. The purpose of the study was to see if the hallway situation offers good communicative interactions between children and teachers, and investigate if the teachers use special strategies to make the hallway situation work. The method of this study was survey, qualitative interviews and observations. The three methods have deliberately been selected to best suite and reply to the different issues.Today?s groups of children in preschool are very big, and some of the preschools are not adapted to these large groups of children that we have today.

This essay focuses on a träffpunkts-activity within LSS's disability care, which started a year ago. The study has an evaluating perspective.The purpose of this essay is to describe the activity, study its intentions and to describe how far it has come reaching its intentions/goals. The questions we have focused on are: What were Träffpunkten's goals and how far has it evolved during the past year. Further more we have examined what kind of social interaction developing between guests and LSS-activity users and how much the activity's intentions show in it today.We used a qualitative method in this essay. To get answers to our questions, we have interviewed persons involved in Träffpunkten and others at Vård och Omsorgsförvaltningen.
