The law firm industry has during the last years met new demanding conditions and one tool to handle these new conditions has been to implement a Knowledge Management system. Large investments have been made in these Knowledge Management systems but the implementations have met many challenges from within the organizations.With a multiple study, based on interviews with Knowledge Management Managers included in a Knowledge Management network, this thesis aims to study the challenges with Knowledge Management and the underlying causes.

Syftet med denna studie var att belysa metoder som vårdpersonal kan använda sig av för att bedöma smärta hos personer med demens och vilka konsekvenser som detta medför. En litteraturstudie gjordes där 16 vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades. Resultatet visade att det finns smärtbedömningsinstrument tillgängliga som kan identifiera smärta hos personer med demens som inte själva verbalt kan beskriva sin smärta. Instrumenten innehöll beskrivningar av beteenden som kunde vara tecken på smärta. En del instrument innehöll förslag till interventioner som kunde utföras och utvärderas.

Problem: Trots den kunskap som idag finns om smärtbe-dömningens betydelse för en adekvat smärtbehandling kvar-står på många sjukhus problem med smärtbedömning av pa-tienter med långvarig smärta. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa faktorer som inverkar på sjuksköterskans smärtbedömning av patienter med långvarig smärta. Metod: Studien var en litteraturstudie, 14 artiklar (10 kvanti-tativa och 4 kvalitativa) som motsvarade litteraturstudiens syfte granskades och analyserades. Resultat: Resultatet utföll i två kategorier: sjuksköterskans kunskap, kommunikation och attityd samt patientens upple-velser och uttryck av långvarig smärta. Att tro på patientens upplevelse och uttryck av smärta var en av de viktigaste tyngdpunkterna i smärtbedömningen av patienter med lång-varig smärta.
