Resultatet synliggör närståendes svåra situation präglat av sorg, ekonomisk förlust, oro, depression, fysisk trötthet samt aktivitetsbegränsning. Behovet av stöd och information var påtagligt och ansågs som en viktig del av sjuksköterskans roll..

Bakgrund: Valet av uppsatsämne berör de ökade kraven på kulturell kompetens som ställs på arbetsterapeuter. Att granska och förstå arbetsterapeutiska teorier är viktigt för att ha förmågan att överföra teorierna i praktiken. Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva begreppen aktivitet, person, omgivning och kultur i, de arbetsterapeutiska teoretiska modellerna, Kawamodellen, MOHO, CMOP och Mosey´s modell. Metod: Arbetet är en studie där datainsamling och analys har varit en jämsides process som kontinuerligt har växt fram.Analysen har genomförts av utvalda begrepp från de olika teorierna och har bestått i en beskrivning av begrepp som sedan har jämförts mellan de olika teorierna. Huvudresultat: Det huvudsakliga resultatet är att uppfattningen om personens placering i förhållande till omgivningen i de olika modellerna har del i hur aktivitet förklaras.I Kawamodellen har begreppet person en decentraliserad plats och omfattas av omgivningen. Mänsklig aktivitet bestäms utifrån den sociala situationen och inte utifrån ett centralt placerat jag. Att göra något som har betydelse för kollektivet har högre prioritet än att göra något för sig själv som individ. I övriga modeller är begreppet person ett fristående, centraliserat begrepp med olika grad av närhet till omgivningen. Slutsats: Slutsatsen är att både skillnader och likheter, avseende aktivitet, finns mellan Kawamodellen och de modeller vi har studerat i den analys vi har genomfört.

We have used a qualitative research method to collect the empirical material.

Bakgrund: Stroke är en sjukdom som innefattar olika skador som uppstår i hjärnan som orsakas av en emboli eller en trombos som täpper till kroppens blodkärl där en förträngning finns. Detta gör att hjärnans celler inte får syre. Cellerna dör och en skada uppstår.

In Sweden a person is either unlimited or limited liable to tax. It is important to define this status since the consequence of being unlimited liable to tax according to chapter 3 § 8 Swedish income tax law (1999:1229) is imposed tax on every revenue from Sweden and overseas. When deciding the fiscal status Sweden uses the principle of domicile which makes the home of the taxable person important.Despite domilication in another country a person can be considered to have such bonds to Sweden that they still should be unlimited liable to tax here. During the development of the Swedish communal tax law (1928:370) the term essential linkage was introduced. There are numerous factors which can affect this assessment but in case-law some factors have been considered more important than others.
