En vårdrelation som bygger på respekt, ömsesidighet och förtroende kan utgöra ett viktigt stöd för den sjuke människan. Förtroendet har beskrivits som den viktigaste faktorn för att en lyckad och effektiv vårdrelation ska skapas. I syfte att beskriva vilka faktorer som påverkar förtroendet i en vårdrelation utfördes en systematisk litteraturstudie. En kvalitativ dataanalys med deduktiv ansats utfördes utifrån innehållet i 12 studier med olika metodologiska ansatser. Analysen resulterade i fem kategorier med faktorer som påverkar förtroendet i en vårdrelation.

The purpose of this essay was to see how the construction of elderly immigrants as a problem in healthcare and elderly care has been described in the relevant literature. In the course of doing so I tried to answer the following questions; What is said to be the expected problems or difficulties in work with eldely immigrants? How are the expected members of the problemgroup defined and identified? Whos perspective dominates the description of the problem, the users or the investigators? These questions were hard to answer and I had to conclude that the problem was not clearly defined; there was only an assumption of a problem. This, however, has not been a hindrance in the category of elderly immigrants being claimed to be a group with problems that need research and further investigation. The dominating perspective is that of the investigators as they are the ones who define and identify who is a part of the problemgroup..

Under senare år har det skett en uppluckring av inställningen att samhället skall bära ansvaret för äldres vård och omsorg. Mycket på grund av att ekonomin är kärvare, men även att behovet av prioriteringar inom vård och omsorg växer. På senare tid har man sett att i bedömningar av äldres behov räknar man inte bara med makars insatser för varandra utan även om det finns vuxna barn som kan bistå den äldre. I en rapport från om äldre uppskattas att man i biståndsbedömningen i ca en fjärdedel av landets kommuner väger in anhörigas möjligheter att hjälpa. Upplevelsen av att vårda en familjemedlem med en demensproblematik i hemmet är ett komplext fenomen som påverkar familjen på olika sätt.

Studiens syfte är att beskriva hur enhetschefer i en offentlig organisation med inriktning på vård och omsorg resonerar kring sina förutsättningar att påverka arbetsmiljön och arbetsglädjen. I organisationen har det under de sista åren skett stora omorganisationer och förändringar som medför en känsla av oro och osäkerhet och ingen vet hur framtiden blir. Arbetslivet står inför stora utmaningar som innebär ett hårdare arbetsklimat med andra villkor som sätter press på människan. Konsekvenserna av de ständiga förändringar och påfrestningar inom arbetslivet leder ofta till en försämrad arbetsmiljö och sämre anställningsvillkor. Det är därför viktigt för dagens organisationer att stödja och utveckla ett gott ledarskap, så ledarna tillsammans med medarbetarna orkar utveckla och driva verksamheten framåt.

Av analysen kan Michelle sammanfatta att om hon skulle starta en kvartett i framtiden för till exempel lansering skulle hon ha en kvartett redan färdig och redo för repetition innan start av liknande projekt. Momentet att hitta potentiella medlemmar till stråkkvartetten på så kort tid är orimligt och även om hon hittade medlemmar till kvartetten så skulle det inte hålla i längden. Efter att Michelle fått erfarenhet av personer som inte hållit de muntliga avtal som faktiskt gjordes kommer hon lägga mer tid på att finna rätt personer. Dessutom hade alla de punkter angående mål, promotion och avtal diskuteras med kvartetten detaljerat för att allihop ska få en likvärdig respekt och förståelse i det samarbete som komma skall. Inget bör vara otydligt.
