Information handling has been a key issue for different companies for a long time. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is used to transfer different business documents from one company to another. This is done in such way that the information itself is separated from how this information is stored and handled in the companies internal systems. As different companies have different systems there is a need for a standardised format for this exchange. There is a big difference between EDI-systems based on what kind of EDI-standard is used.

Bakgrund: I Sverige har akutmottagningar i landet ungefär 2,5 miljoner patientbesök per/år. Akutmottagningar brukar vara stressfyllda miljöer med hög patientomsättning, möten är rutinmässiga och utrymmet för individuellt anpassad vård är begränsat. Patienterna blir vid ankomst bedömda och prioriterade utifrån triage, för att försäkra att patienten med de mest brådskande behoven blir omhändertagen först. Efter triagen får de flesta patienterna vänta, ibland i flera timmar.Syfte: Att belysa patientperspektivet av att vara patient på akutmottagningar inom den svenska hälso- och sjukvården.Metod: Litteraturstudie, sökningar av artiklar genomfördes i databaserna Cinahl och Pubmed, vilket resulterande i 9 kvalitativa och 2 kvantitativa artiklar. Analysen inspirerades av kvalitativ innehållsanalys.Resultat: 5 teman identifierades: Att vara patient under triagen, att vara patient under väntetider.

Bakgrund: Varje år drabbas runt 30 000 svenskar av stroke och nästan en tredjedel av dem får afasi. Afasi innebär en förlust eller försämring av språksystemet som förekommer efter en hjärnskada. Patienter med afasi upplever detta tillstånd som en förlust av sin autonomi vilket påverkar livskvaliteten negativt. Att vårda någon som drabbats av afasi ställer särskilda krav på sjuksköterskan, både för att hitta nya vägar till kommunikation och för att kunna ge en så god vård som möjligt. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva komponenter som kan påverka kommunikationen med patienter som drabbats av afasi efter stroke utifrån sjuksköterskans perspektiv. Metod: Uppsatsen är en litteraturstudie där åtta kvalitativa artiklar, publicerade mellan åren 2000- 2012, ingår. Valda artiklar berör kommunikation mellan sjuksköterskan och patienter som drabbats av afasi efter stroke.

Bakgrund: Kärnan i omvårdnaden består av mötet mellan sjuksköterska och patient, där patienten görs delaktig. För att kunna mötas krävs en god kommunikation. I vården av en patient med ett annat modersmål kan språket bli en barriär, vilket kan överbryggas med hjälp av en tolk. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att belysa sjuksköterskans erfarenheter av kommunikation med patienter som har ett annat modersmål. Metod: Metoden som användes var en litteraturbaserad studie, där 12 kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar inkluderades.

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.

This thesis analyzes how homonationalist and heteroactivist discourses are reproduced in the Sweden Democrats political communication between 2022 and 2025. Drawing on critical discourse analysis, the study examines a selection of key texts, including two Almedalen speeches by the party leader Jimmie ?kesson (2022, 2024), an extraction from a report produced by the party, and a parliamentary motion. The study is theoretically grounded in scholarship on homonationalism, heteroaktivism and populist radical right nationalism. It investigates how gender, sexuality and religion are discursively mobilized to define national belonging and construct boundaries between ?us? and ?the other?.

Ända fram till 60-talet var det få läkare som vågade tala om diagnosen för patienten om hon var döende. De anhöriga spelar en stor roll i vården av patienten i livets slutskede. Man ska vara lyhörd och uppmärksam för att på bästa sätt kunna tolka signaler i samtal med patienter. Ansvaret som vilar på sjuksköterskan är stort.
