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. To be aware of the signs of depression, and how an authorized nurse can support the patient is therefore of great value. The introduction to this study describes the symptoms of depression and how depression in elders is expressed. It also describes treatment possibilities and nursing aspects of concern.

Problemställning: eHälsa är nutiden och framförallt framtiden inom hälso- och sjukvård och anses kunna stärka delaktighet och medbestämmande för patienten. Den nya tidens patienter kräver ökad insyn, delaktighet och självbestämmande.                                   Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa eHälsa med fokus på patient empowerment.                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Metod: Litteraturstudie med 14 vetenskapliga artiklar som utifrån en induktiv ansats har granskats, analyserats och jämförts.                                                                                                                                                                    Resultat och konklusion: Resultatet visar att eHälsa ökar tillgängligheten för hälsoinformation samt hälso- och sjukvård i hemmet. eHälsa kan och bör användas som ett komplement i vården för att stärka patient empowerment, detta under förutsättning att patienten har förmåga att hantera och förstå informations- och kommunikationsverktygen, samt att ett samarbete finns med hälso- och sjukvården.                                                                                                                Implikation: Vidare forskning som berör hur sjuksköterskan kan implementera eHälsa i omvårdnadsarbetet behövs. eHälsa som begrepp bör även belysas tillsammans med övriga riktlinjer som berör informations- och kommunikationsteknologi i Kompetensbeskrivning för legitimerad sjuksköterska. Patientutbildning i eHälsa och dess tjänster bör ingå i den praktiska vårdverksamheten för att optimera egenvård och därmed bidra till att patienten erhåller empowerment.

Background: Communication allows people to gain understanding of themselves and their surroundings, which is a prerequisite for good health. The nurse may in her communication help patients develop a feeling that they are not alone in their situation. If the patients cannot express themselves and make themselves understood, it can lead the patients to feel left out which emphasizes the suffering at having aphasia. Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the components which affect nurse?s communication with patients with aphasia.

 SammanfattningSyftet med studien var att undersöka hur relationen mellan läkare och patient tas i uttryck i hälso- och sjukvårdsorganisation med hälsofrämjande inriktning. Undersökningens fokus har varit på samtalet mellan läkare och patient. Huvudsyftet har varit att försöka få syn på det hälsopromotiva inslaget i samtalet mellan läkare och patient.Studiens metod bygger på fyra kvalitativa intervjuer som inspirerats av fenomenologisk ansats som sedan bearbetats och analyserats samt en deltagande observation. Studiens resultat bygger på kategorier som funnits utifrån forskningsfrågorna; Vad innebär det att arbeta hälsofrämjande i samtalet? I vilken mån tar läkare upp frågan om livsstil och levnadsvanor i samtalet med patient? Och Vilken kompetens har läkare inom samtalsmetodik? Resultatet tyder på att det finns en brist på kunskap om vad hälsopromotion är. Respondenterna blandar ihop begreppen kring de salutogena och patogena perspektivet.
