To establish good horse welfare there are several factors that need to be considered. One important factor is the environment in which the horses are kept. In Sweden horses are stabled during long periods of time in the cold season and consequently the stable environment is even more important. The most essential environmental factors in a horse stable are ambient temperature, relative humidity (RH) and concentrations of contaminants in the stable air. The air in a horse stable contains dust, noxious gases, moulds and microorganisms which all can contribute to developing respiratory diseases in horses.

As a patient you can find a lot of information concerning health and diseaseson the Internet. Purpose: The purpose of my study is to gain a betterunderstanding of how physicians relate to well-informed patientsfrom the point of doctor's changing role in meeting the patient related to theweb-based patient information. Today's patients are turning increasingly tothe Internet before they visit their doctor, this is due to the electronic healthinformation is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week while the regulardoctor usually have several weeks of waiting. Problems that can arise with theWeb-based information is that the patient does not have a medical educationto know whether the information is appropriate or not.

Bakgrund: Femton procent av alla möten inom vården upplevs som besvärliga av vårdpersonal. Besvärliga möten inom vården har stora följdverkningar, inte bara för patienten utan även för vårdpersonalen. De ?besvärliga? patienterna riskerar att få sämre vård och bemötas med mindre respekt än övriga patienter. Besvärliga patienter är inte någon väl definierad patientgrupp utan karaktäriseras av en mängd olika egenskaper och symptom.

Hälso- och sjukvården är idag under stor förändring, driven av kraven på en mer gynnsam ekonomi och en högre effektivitet, där personalen samtidigt ska kunna bemöta förväntningar från en alltmer upplyst patient. När man lyfter fram kvalitetsfrågor kan vårdens brister och fördelar upptäckas vilket kan leda till förbättringar och förändringar. Syftet med arbetet var att belysa problemområdet patienttillfredsställelse utifrån ett patientperspektiv. Genom att se vad som anses viktigt för patienten i en interpersonlig relation mellan sjuksköterska och patient kan blivande sjuksköterskor öka sin medvetenhet för problemområdet och utföra sitt arbete med en större professionalitet. En ökad patienttillfredsställelse kan leda till en ökad kvalitet på hälso- och sjukvården.

  Aim. The aim of the study was to describe how nurses in home care experience to pursue palliative care in ordinary housing. Methods. The study had a descriptive design with qualitative approach and was carried out through semi-structured interviews with 14 nurses in home health care from two medium-sized Swedish municipalities. The material was analyzed with manifest and latent content analysis. Findings. The underlying theme that emerged in the study was: Working with palliative care in the patient´s own homes is positive but challenging. Informants describe among other things that they perceived palliative home care as meaningful and that relatives have a central role in the palliative home care since they are close to the patient around the clock. The stress that emerges from the heavy work load and the long geographic distances are described as strenuous and to affect the care in a negative way. Informants describe the home environment as challenging as it is often not adapted for care and the collaboration with the palliative team is described to be experienced as both positive and negative.

Denna uppsats studerar universitetssjukhus implementering och användning av måttet KPP, kostnad per patient, inom den interna ekonomiska uppföljningen i somatisk slutenvård genom en intervju- och enkätundersökning.  Syftet är att se hur KPP bör implementeras och användas. Slutsatsen är att sjukhusens ledning inte fokuserats på den strategiska och operativa styrningen med hjälp av KPP, vilket försenat utbredningen av den interna användningen. KPP-måttet måste vara tillgängligt för alla nivåer inom sjukhuset och speciellt för verksamhetschefer med ansvar för vården av patienter; goda IT-system är också nödvändiga. Tiden sedan KPP införts har påverkat den interna användningen..
