Title: From openness and presence to distance and control: to be medicated and to administrate from a patient and nurse perspective.Background: Within forensic psychiatric care the patients are admitted against their will, under heavy security with long term treatments. Self-care seems, based on scientific studies, to be dependent on what the nurses involved can provide. Emphasis should focus on a humane and respectful approach when the patient is exposed to coercive measures.Aim: From a patient and nurse perspective describe experiences of beeing medicated with and to administrate antipsychotic drugs within the psychiatric inpatient care.Method: Interviews with patients and nurses, which were analyzed using qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach.Results: Patients experience frustration over not beeing able to participate in or influence descisions made regarding their neuroleptic treatment. The neuroleptic treatment is described as a coercive measure and is characterized as an experience of losing control and independence. Nurses? experiences of administering antipsychotics were described as having to do what is needed for the long term benefit of patients? well-being.

Bakgrund: År 2013 uppmättes Sveriges befolkningsökning till den största på nästan 70 år. I Malmö finns ca 170 länder representerade. Enligt Hälso- och sjukvårdslagen1982:763 (HSL) ska hela befolkningen i Sverige erbjudas god vård på lika villkor. Kommunikation inom vården är ett riskområde. Socialstyrelsen skriver att bristfällig kommunikation mellan vårdpersonal och patient gällande informationsöverföring och missuppfattning om behandling kan äventyra patentsäkerheten.

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskans arbete på akutmottagning präglas av hög medicinsk kompetens och effektivitet. Tiden patienten får med vårdpersonalen är ofta kort och intensiv och patientens behov av psykosocial omvårdnad, som i regel är stort, kan inte alltid tillgodoses. Vårdlidande är det lidande som skapas av vårdgivaren på grund av felbehandlingar, långa väntetider men främst i vårdrelationen mellan patient och vårdpersonal. Syfte: Belysa patienters vårdlidande i mötet med vårdpersonal på akutmottagning. Metod: En litteraturstudie med granskning av åtta stycken kvalitativa forskningsartiklar.

Läkemedelshantering såsom administrering av medicin till patienter är en av de dagliga omvårdnadshandlingarna för en sjuksköterska. För en patient som vårdas under Lagen om Psykiatrisk Tvångsvård (LPT) (SFS, 1991:1128) kan upplevelser av att få medicin vara blandade. I sjuksköterskans omvårdnadsarbete är det viktigt att se patientens unika upplevelser av situationen. Syftet med denna studie är att belysa patienters upplevelser av läkemedelsadministrering då de vårdas under LPT. Metoden är av kvalitativ natur där empirin samlats in med hjälp av intervjuer som har analyserats med manifest innehållsanalys.

ABSTRACT The persons whom the authorized nurse encounters in hospital wards and nursing homes are in great extent elderly persons. According to Wasserman (2000), about 30 to 40 percent among these, show signs of depression.

The aim of my study is to look at two specific schools and their work with Internet in the classroom and compare their work to what experts say about how you should educate. The study focuses on how teachers guide the students to be critical to the information they encounter on the internet. What do the experts say? How should the teachers work with Internet in the classroom? What do the teachers say about their work with Internet? What do the teachers say regarding children and the Internet?  To answer these questions I have interviewed two teachers from different schools, which had classes with children 6 to 8 years old. The schools are very different from each other concerning investment on Internet devices in the classroom.
