AbstraktSyfte: Att beskriva hur sömnstörningar hos patienter som vårdas på en intensivvårdsavdelning (IVA-patienter) uppstår och vilka omvårdnadsåtgärder som kan förbättra IVA-patienternas sömn.Bakgrund: Tidigare forskning visar att IVA-patienter frekvent drabbas av sömnbrist vilket kan leda till fysiska samt psykiska konsekvenser i form av cirkulatorisk påverkan, försämrad sårläkning eller förvirring med ångesttillstånd. Dessa i sig kan leda till förlängd vårdtid. Det är sjuksköterskans uppgift att upptäcka sömnproblem hos IVA-patienter samt att inleda adekvata omvårdnadsåtgärder.Metod: Denna studie är en systematisk litteraturstudie. Databassökning i sex databaser genomfördes och nyckelord identifierades. Begränsningar gjordes till åren 2003?2013 då en sökning begränsad på fem år gav för lite utfall.

This master's thesis reports on our investigation of how the public librarian's professional identity is formed and what it is formed of. We have considered factors such as: education, competence and daily tasks. In order to fulfil this aim we have used a literature study on concepts such as competence, education, professional identity and profession. We have also carried out an empirical study where we have interviewed nine librarians on public libraries. The method of analysis is qualitative.

This paper conducts a qualitative examination based on interviews with six childrens librarians. The purpose is to put a perspective on the librarians competence and focal knowledge within the area of reading promotion and reading stimulation aimed for children, and also to examine how this competence and knowledge is constructed. The work is based on the following questions: How do childrens librarians experience reading promotion and reading stimulation within their profession? Which competence and what knowledge do childrens librarians experience as most important in order to make their work with reading promotion and reading stimulation function? What can be concluded regarding the construction of their competence and knowledge? The analysis is carried out from theories about competence, tacit knowledge and reading promotion. Following primary conclusions are drawn from the study: The professional role is mainly experienced as promoting reading as pleasure, but also as an important factor for childrens language development.

Problemställning och syfte: Bromerade flamskyddsmedel (BFR) används i många varor och produkter. Polybromerade difenyletrar (PBDEs) är en av dessa och deras kemiska struktur liknar den i miljögiftet PCB och kan på samma sätt lagras upp i miljön samt skada människor och djur. På arbetsplatser där BFR förekommer riskerar medarbetarna att exponeras. I den här studien har olika BFR undersökts i samband med servicearbete på flygplan. Målet har varit att jämföra förekomsten i damm och luft, samt blod (serum) med resultat från tidi­gare studier.Metod: Damm- och luftprovtagning har genomförts vid olika faser av service­arbetet.

Background: Fall injuries are a costly problem for society, with costs ranging up to 14 billion a year. In addition to economic loss accidental falls also creates human value losses and reduced quality of life for its victims. In order to prevent the occurrence of injury related to accidental falls healthcare providers utilize various scientifically developed risk assessment tools, one of them being Downton Fall Risk Index. Method: Empirical, quantitative cross-sectional study. Objective: The purpose of the extended essay was to describe the categories in Downton Fall Risk Index that have a bearing on patients' risk of falling while in hospital and in municipal care, and to illustrate how nurses can use the fall risk assessment tool.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka aktivitetsförmåga, symtom, smärta och tillfredställelse samt sambandet mellan aktivitetsförmågan, gipstid och antalet behandlingstillfällen hos arbetsterapeut efter tumbasartroplastik 1 till 2 år efter operation och efterföljande rehabilitering. Till samtliga patienter (n = 80) som opererades från jan 2008 till mars 2009 skickades självskattningsinstrumentet, hälsoenkäten Quick DASH samt ett frågeformulär gällande om man var tillfredställd/ nöjd med operationen. Hälsoenkäten belyser dimensioner av hälsorelaterad livskvalité och kan vara till god hjälp i det kliniska arbetet. Svarsfrekvensen i studien var 91 % och 86 % av patienterna svarade att man var nöjd med operationen. Quick DASH score räknades ut (n = 67) till medianvärde på 11,4 poäng .

Bakgrund Den psykiska oh?lsan i Sverige har ?kat under 2000-talet och v?rdresurserna f?r att behandla psykisk oh?lsa minskar genom nedsk?rningar inom v?rden p? grund av l?gkonjunktur och begr?nsningar av statliga medel. Detta s?tter stora krav p? att den psykiatriska v?rden som ges ska kunna behandla s? m?nga som m?jligt med s? f? medel som m?jligt. Tidigare forskning har identifierat flera f?rdelar och positiva h?lsoeffekter med naturbaserade interventioner.

I denna c-uppsatts problematiseras området konflikthantering och anledningen till att människor hamnar i konflikter. Syftet är att beskriva hur pedagoger i den dagliga skolverksamheten arbetar med konflikthantering samt om de har några speciella metoder eller strategier. Vi använde kvalitativa intervjuer som undersökningsmetod till vårt arbete. Syftet bröt vi ner i tre frågeställningar som sökte svar på frågor hur pedagoger arbetar med konflikthantering, deras tankar, erfarenheter och upplevelser inom området. Studien utgår från ett sociokulturellt perspektiv på lärande där vi har tagit i beaktning, utifrån ett forskningsperspektiv, att människan hela tiden påverkas av sin omgivning.

In this study I have explored the profession sales people and how they use social media. I have also studied their needs for further education and how it can be addressed in social media, in order to learn how a B2B-company that educates in sales training can meet sales people in social media. It?s an empirical study based on individual interviews with a semi-structured interview template. Respondents were of mixed age, both men and women.

The aim of the study was to investigate how a community motivates and ensures the implementation of its values and how this document affected personnel of meaning, vision and daily operations. The study was based on semi-structured interviews, in which nine respondents were interviewed in a city in southern Sweden. Interviews dealt with three different themes, all concerned organization or set of values. The analysis was based partly on how organizations and institutions build up and maintain their legitimacy. The analysis was also explained by the new institutional theory and its concepts isomorphism.

The students participating in my development work will work with a process book for handicraft studies. In the beginning of their studies, the students need practical knowledge about the development of the profession itself, but they also need to be challenged and learn how to solve problems on their own which will help them gain a deeper knowledge of the subject.    I focus on open questions to create a process with the students. This process is created when working with Solution-Focused-Education. Through ?assessment for learning? we can help the students to improve their self-assessment and understanding of the learning process.

Bakgrund: En väl fungerande psykosocial arbetsmiljö är den som anpassas efter individers behov och begränsningar. Sjuksköterskan har genom historien utsatts för hårda prövningar då yrket har setts som ett kall snarare än en profession, vilket har lett till hög arbetsbelastning och låg status. Hälso- och sjukvårdslagen, arbetsmiljölagen och patientsäkerhetslagen beskriver hur god vård och bra arbetsmiljö ska samverka för att gynna både vårdpersonal och patienter. Arbetsmiljöverket beskriver olika faktorer som kan skapa en dålig psykosocial arbetsmiljö, exempelvis högt arbetstempo, oklara roller och ständiga förändringar. En arbetsmiljö som är begriplig, hanterbar och meningsfull skapar arbetstillfredsställelse och ökar välmåendet.
