This essay focuses on the term usability while conducting a user centred system design. Usabilitymeans to what extent a user can use a product to achieve effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction.Development using a user centered system design means that knowledge about the end-users andit?s opinions becomes a crucial part of the development process. The question of this essay is if usinguser centred system design will lead to good usability.We used methods from a user centered system design point of view while developing an applicationfor a Swedish bookstore company called Bokia AB. This included user and task analysis following by aclose relationship between the developers and end-users by using sketches and showing themprototypes of the system while collecting feedback.After concluding our case study we determined that using methods from user centered systemdesign could be used as a great tool to further improve the usability and to improve an applicationssuccess chances..

Forensic psychiatric care is a complex business. Patients who are cared for in forensic psychiatry are usually in need of care for a long time. The forensic care is a major intrusion into a person's life and the nurses and caregivers are the people who spend the most time with patients. They have a difficult mission providing a good and personalized care while patients are deprived of their liberty. Previous research demonstrates that patients experience forensic care as uncertain, insecure and punitive but that there are also glimpses of "good care".

Bakgrund: Vi har idag en stor del inläggningar av patienter på sjukhus som lider av någon form av demenssjukdom. Omvårdnaden av kroppsligt sjuka patienter som har en demensdiagnos är komplex eftersom dessa har speciella behov relaterat till sina kognitiva, funktionella och beteendemässiga förändringar. Denna komplexa vård kan bli svårhanterlig för omvårdnadspersonalen i sjukhusmiljö vilket kan leda till att omvårdnaden blir lidande Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva omvårdnadspersonalens syn på och upplevelser av att vårda patienter med demenssjukdomar som är inlagda på sjukhus. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie gjordes på ett systematiskt sätt, resultatet baserades på åtta kvalitativa originalartiklar Resultat: Resultatet utgår från tre olika huvudkategorier: Omvårdnadspersonalens upplevelse av och syn på sin egen roll i vården av patienter med demenssjukdom, omvårdnadspersonalens upplevelse av och syn på patienter med demenssjukdom och deras behov samt omvårdnadspersonalens upplevelse av och syn på ledningen, organisationen och miljön i relation till patienter med demenssjukdom. Slutsats: Värdigheten och integriteten av personer med demenssjukdom försvinner på sjukhusavdelningarna på grund av att den personcentrerade vården minskar då omvårdnadspersonalen har en stereotyp bild av personer med demenssjukdom, eftersom det finns tidsbrist på avdelningarna, att miljön på avdelningarna inte är optimal för denna patientkategori samt att sjukhusledningarna tar fel beslut och inte har tillräcklig förståelse för situationen på avdelningarna..

Då livslängden i samhället ökar och alltfler lever länge med många diagnoser har vi ett växande behov av en välfungerande äldreomsorg. Efter ädelreformen dör alltfler äldre personer på särskilt boende, vilket föranleder ett intresse av att studera den omvårdnad som ges där. Syftet med föreliggande studie var därför att beskriva undersköterskors erfarenheter av att ge omvårdnad till äldre personer under livets sista tid på särskilt boende. Studien baseras på intervjuer med sju undersköterskor som har minst tre års erfarenhet av att arbeta på särskilt boende. Analysen av intervjumaterialet gjordes med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys. I resultatet framkom tre teman; en naturlig väg mot döden, den äldre personen som utgångspunkt i omvårdnaden samt ömsesidighet och samarbete med begränsande förutsättningar.  Undersköterskorna ser döende vid hög ålder som en naturlig process de inte vill försöka motverka och inte heller talar med varandra om.

Benämningen patient är ett kollektivt begrepp, som sätter sjukdomen och dess behandling i fokus. Hälso-och sjukvården har haft svårt att förändra sitt traditionella perspektiv där patienten betraktas längst ner i den hierarkiska sjukvårdsorganisationen. För att förändra det traditionella perspektivet så har ett nytt synsätt utformats där begreppet "patient" byts ut till "person". Personcentrerad vård började införas inom äldre- och demensvården, men tankar finns om att det även ska införas inom specialistvården. Syftet med studien var att utifrån litteraturen beskriva vad som kännetecknar personcentrerad vård ur ettomvårdnadsperspektiv.
