Varje år insjuknar ca 25-30 000 människor i stroke i Sverige. Sjuksköterskan måste ha i beaktande att dessa patienter kan ha kommunikationssvårigheter av olika grad. Syftet med studien var att undersöka och beskriva hur sjuksköterskan ska gå till väga när hon ska kommunicera med en patient som har fått diagnosen stroke. Resultatet visar att sjuk-sköterskorna ofta saknar kunskap i hur hon ska agera och bete sig när hon kommunicerar med en patient som fått diagnosen stroke. Brist på tid är också ett vanligt förekommande problem som gör att sjuksköterskan helt enkelt inte hinner lägga den tid som krävs för att kommunicera med den individ som insjuknat i stroke.

Humor och skratt påverkar vår hälsa såväl fysiskt, psykiskt som socialt och kanpå detta vis relateras till sjuksköterskans ansvarsområde; omvårdnad. Metod: Dettaexamensarbete är en litteraturöversikt.

Academic research indicates that critical publicity can have a detrimental effect on brand attitudes. The negative effects have been showed to be buffered by cognitive bias elicited by strong favourable attitudes, commitment, brand certainty and brand identification. It has been proposed that the influence of such bias in a news reporting context should be studied, something that also is interesting from a brand perspective. The study therefore investigated whether a well-publicised scandal in one period can lead to increased critical publicity in the coming periods. A case study of Swedish grocery chain ICA was conducted.

Arbetet som intensivvårdssjuksköterska är komplext och kräver en förmåga av intensivvårdssjuksköterskan att prioritera mellan det högteknologiska arbetet och omvårdnad av patient och anhöriga. Utöver omvårdnadskunskaper krävs att intensivvårdssjuksköterskan innehar förmågan att kommunicera respektfullt och empatiskt med såväl patient, närstående samt personal.

The aim in this thesis is to study what attitude music teachers in Sweden and New Zealand have towards Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in music education and obtain a better understanding of how their attitudes affect the way they use ICT in their teaching. Another intention is to discuss differences and similarities between the teachers´ preferences regarding this issue in the two different countries, and whether it has any effect on teaching. It's a qualitative study based on interviews with music teachers from both countries. Through the answers we can get an impression about how ICT is used in music education, how the curriculum is interpreted when it comes to use ICT in music education and how the teachers' attitudes towards ICT affect the music education. This thesis shows that teachers are positive towards ICT in music education but the attitude, knowledge and the way of using it differs, due to access to technology and different opinions about what is essential in music and what is pedagogical.

Background: When a patient suffer from a disease and is in need of palliative care, it is normal to have existential questions and thoughts. For some patients these questions can be painful and the nurse need to have knowledge about dealing with these kind of questions and thoughts to be able to relieve and/or prevent this kind of suffering.Aim: The aim was to describe how the nurse can prevent the existential suffering among patients with palliative care.Method: A literature-based study was based on eight qualitative studies.Results: The results showed that nurses meet patients in the palliative care environment which may suffer from existential problems when their questions and thoughts don´t get answered. It showed that the most important a nurse can do is to give time to these calls and build up a safe relation to the patient. This allows the nurse to read the patients existential questions and observing possibly suffering. The result is organized in two categories "To see and confirm" and " To listen and give support" and see subcategories " Use body language", " Create reliable relationship", respond to the existential questions", "Give the patient time", " take help from others in hard situations" and "to focus on other things"Conclusion: It is easy to only focus on the physical illness while caring for a patient and believe that it is creating suffering.
