Introduktion: Magnetkameraundersökningar (MR) görs varje dag och i samband med ökande antal undersökningar händer olyckor och tillbud. MR-undersökning innebär risk för patienten och anledningen till detta är att olika metalliska magnetiska föremål används inom medicin på och i patientens kropp och även i lokalernas utrustning. Röntgensjuksköterskan som arbetar på MR- avdelning måste ha kunskap om patienternas och besökarens säkerhet för att erbjuda en säker vård och skydda patienter mot skada eller risk. Syfte var att beskriva säkerhetsrisker vid MR-undersökning. Metod: Vid litteratursökning i Cinahl, Scopus och Pubmed hittades 18 fallbeskrivningar som besvarade syftet.

AbstractWhen immigrants move to Sweden from their native country it is not unusual that they experience some kind of identity crises. Their own experience of their cultural identity can be very problematic and they often lose a part of what they previously saw as their own identity. To handle such crises the immigrants can use different strategies. They can for example accept their disparity, deny it or emphasize it. The aim of this study is to examine how immigrants in Sweden experience that their cultural identity has changed since they moved here from a country that has a culture that is different from the Swedish culture.
