Bakgrund: Sexualitet och sexuell hälsa berör flera områden hos en människa, både fysiska, emotionella, mentala och sociala. Sjuksköterskans ansvarområde omvårdnad sträcker sig även det över dessa delar då patientens basala och specifika omvårdnadsbehov ska tillgodoses. Samtal om sexualitet ingår i sjuksköterskans arbete, men trots detta visar forskning att väldigt få sjuksköterskor tar upp ämnet sexualitet med sina patienter. Studier visar även att det är ett ämne som patienter gärna hade pratat mer om. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa orsaker till varför sjuksköterskor inte samtalar med patienter om sexualitet.

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.

In today's society social movement are dependent on media as a channel to com-municate their political message and their discourse. Media is an arena for dis-courses but at the same time, along with Attac, one of the actors who struggle to be part of the dominant discourse of the society. This struggle is uneven due to media and the relationship is to some content hegemonic.Attac Sweden was constituted in January 2001 and got an enormous amount of attention in media. But after the riots during the Göteborg European Council in June 2001, that Attac was partly blamed for, the attention in media has faded out. This paper shows that the images of Attac in media hasn?t been favouring the movement, especially during and after the meeting in Gothenburg.

I have critically examined heteronormativity as it permeates our society and questioned ?identities? as designed and constructed, leading to certain identities being seen as normal, while others are regarded as abnormal.I have had a discussion with my informants about love, monogamy, amicable and relationships. Every couple has basically isolated themselves after they became a couple and they feel secure with one another. The partnership is very important for my informants, partly because they see the partnership as a legal and economical security. However, these aspects are not crucial to the decision that they chose to marry, for the main reason is love and the desire to take the relationship one step further.

Arbetet som intensivvårdssjuksköterska är komplext och kräver en förmåga av intensivvårdssjuksköterskan att prioritera mellan det högteknologiska arbetet och omvårdnad av patient och anhöriga.

The purpose of this Master thesis is to examine how college library managers perceive shelves of book reservation system in an integrity perspective. Privacy is an important part of everyday life in the society of today and according to some people, for example a former library lawyer in the Swedish Royal Library, these shelves conflicts with the Swedish law of Secrecy (Sekretesslagen 9 kap. 22 §). I am therefore interested in how they perceive this system: what weaknesses and strengths it has, why they implemented it, how they have interpreted this law. To answer this I have used a qualitative method called phenomenography and done interviews with five college library managers.

Diabetes mellitus type 2 and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) are two of the most common diseases in the world and the amount are increasing.
