Patienter som lider av svår kronisk njursvikt behandlas ofta med hemodialys ett flertal gånger i veckan. Dessa patienter stöter ofta på en rad problem och får kämpa med att bemästra dessa. Sjuksköterskan har här en viktig roll att identifiera dessa problem för att kunna ge ett gott stöd åt denna patientgrupp. Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt är att undersöka vilka stressorer patienter som behandlas med hemodialys upplever samt vilka copingstrategier de använder sig av. Metoden som valdes var en litteraturstudie baserad på fyra kvalitativa och sex kvantitativa vetenskapliga artiklar som utfördes i enlighet med Friberg.

Metod: Litteraturstudien har gjorts med deskriptiv design. Litteraturstudiens resultat baserades på 13 vetenskapliga artiklar som har söktes i databasen Cinahl.                                                  Huvudresultat: Huvudresultat visade att personer med långvarig smärta upplevde både stöd och begränsningar. Detta upplevdes även i mötet med vården och i behandlingar.

Den ökande stressen är ett stort problem bland sjuksköterskor. Stor arbetsbelastning och höga krav leder till allt fler sjukskrivningar vilket är en negativ utveckling i en yrkesgrupp som är viktig för hela samhället. Syftet med denna uppsats är att belysa hur stress påverkar sjuksköterskor fysiskt och psykiskt samt att undersöka i sammanhanget betydelsefulla copingstrategier. Uppstatsen är en litteraturstudie som baseras på tretton vetenskapliga artiklar vilka behandlar ämnena stress, coping, mental och fysisk hälsa bland sjuksköterskor. Resultatet visar att vanliga stressorer bland sjuksköterskor är hög arbetsbelastning, patientnära arbete, administrativa och organisatoriska påfrestningar samt brist på stöd och uppskatting.

Denna studie har som huvudsyfte att undersöka hur organisationer arbetar med flyktingbarn och på vilket sätt en pedagog med skapande inriktning (till exempel en musiklärare) kan arbeta för att förbättra flyktingbarns situation i Sverige och i världen. Studien utgår från tre intervjuer med människor som är aktiva inom tre olika organisationer i Sverige. Dessutom tar studien upp integrationsprojektet Tillsammans och jämför det med information från teoridel och informanternas information. Slutsatser som kunnat dras från resultatkapitlet är att om organisationer som arbetar med flyktingbarn samarbetade mer med pedagoger med skapande inriktning skulle flyktingbarns situation kunna påverkas positivt eftersom detta är en kraftfull kombination av kunskap och erfarenheter. Det kan också vara av betydelse att fler musikpedagoger får upp ögonen och också erbjuds kunskap som kan behövas vid arbete med flyktingbarn.

AbstractBackgroundParkinson?s disease is a chronically not curable progressive disease that leads to different degrees of disability. Controlled studies on how patient education influences subjective health in Parkinson?s disease are lacking.AimThe aim of this study was to examine the influence patient education had on drug requirements and on subjective health status of persons with Parkinson?s disease.MethodologyA short form of Health Survey, SF-12, was used to measure perceived health. SF-12 was administered before and one month after patient education (intervention group; n= 48), and in waiting list control (n= 48).

The study reported has been conducted in care service guided by the Swedish law LSS( LSS- act concerning support and service for the disabled). The aim of this study is to examine the experiences of the personnel who have attended the Taktipro introductory course with special focus on how they describe the possible effects this may have had on their daily attendance to their special needs users.The method used is a qualitative method of enquiry, based on interview questions sent by mail to all the participants of the Taktipro introductory course. The result shows that the personnel have a positive view on skills in progress and that this program has facilitated the contact between personnel and their special needs users. An awareness about the importance of physical contact has also been revealed as well as an awareness of their own impact on situations at work. The result also indicates that the personnel feel that they have been able to improve the well being for the special needs users. .

The focus of this essay is to further investigate and describe psychological strains experienced by child welfare workers. The method used was qualitative interviews, two group interviews. The research aimed to understand how child welfare workers were affected and handled the psychological strains generated by work through theory of coping and symbolic interactionism where humans are viewed as pragmatic actors. The research showed, as previous studies shown, that the child welfare workers experience a great deal of psychological strains generated by high turnover in staff and pressuring work demands. The child welfare workers felt inadequate and alone in their work tasks and experienced stress and anxiety.

This degree project deals with the concept of creativity and the creative output based on howSwedish upper-secondary design teachers within the Technical Engineering Programexperience this from a student's perspective. The project discusses how the concept creativityis interpreted and how the creative output is regarded by educationalists and professionaldesigners and how this then can be related to literature on the subject and in the steeringdocuments. The purpose of this degree project is to visualize the interviewees' viewpoint oncreativity and the significance of experience, skills, and environment for the creative outputand within the field of design. This in order to, in the pedagogic and didactic situation, enablethe improvement of teaching so that creativity and its output come to show. Moreover, theproject aims to create a ground for discussion of the view of the importance of these skills inthe pedagogic/didactic situation.In order to reach this aim, I have read literature on creativity from several perspectives andcarried out eight qualitative structured interviews: both with three educationalists withoutexperience within the design profession, and with two educationalists who are or have beenactive within the design profession, as well as with three professional designers.

The aim of this study was to examine creativity, measured with four different tests, and self-image in 18-19 year old women (N = 30), and their earlier presence of imaginary companions. The result showed that there were many correlations between the different creativity measurements. Self-image correlated significant with fluency of ideas in one test. "Psychological health" along with "skills, talent and abilities" were the two most important self-image aspects for creativity. We found negative relationships between imaginary companions and creativity, but a positive relationship with self-image.

Det finns personer som går till jobbet varje dag och alltid är vid god hälsa, även när deras arbete är krävande. Detta fenomen kan beskrivas som långtidsfriskhet.

Vi har gjort intervjuer med åtta socialarbetare angående vilka friskfaktorer som hade störst påverkan på deras hälsa. Det empiriska materialet har sammanställts i tre kategorier, vilka är individen, organisationen och fritiden.

Today there is still irrelevant pay differential in society. In Sweden in 2010, the average pay differential was 15,4 percent between the sexes. Only 0,8 percent better than EU:s average.In Sweden the individual salaries increasingly have begun to characterize the Swedish labor market. Based on this, the aim of this study is to highlight the issue of equal pay between men and women from the perspective of individual salary. This would also been doing with a background in the regulatory environment of equal pay.When it comes to equality between women and men it is the area of labor law in EU who is the most developed and in Sweden this is the area who is most affected by EU law.

Swedish students' knowledge of both mathematics and reading comprehension has deteriorated in recent years. Scientists are discussing whether there is a connection between these areas and that the pupils deteriorating math skills may have something to do with their increasingly lower results in terms of reading comprehension. To investigate this possible connection, I conducted a survey among students in ninth grade and have come to the conclusion that the scientists are right: this connection absolutely exist. Students who received a high score on tasks designed to test students' mathematical problem-solving skills, also received high results on the reading comprehension test. And students who received a poor performance on the problem-solving tasks, were also low performers in the reading comprehension test.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka om optimism och val avcopingstrategier påverkar det subjektiva välbefinnandet hosuniversitetsstudenter, samt om graden av optimism har en betydelse.144 studenter deltog i en enkätundersökning via ettbekvämlighetsurval. De väletablerade mätinstrumenten Brief COPE,LOT-R samt SWLS användes. En stegvis multipel regressionsanalyssamt oberoende t-test utfördes i SPSS. Resultatet visade att optimismoch val av copingstrategier påverkade subjektivt välbefinnande, samtatt högre optimism associeras med högre välbefinnande ochemotionsfokuserade copingstrategier. Vidare visade resultatet attdysfunktionella copingstrategier användes i högre utsträckning avstudenter med låg optimism.

Many studies have pointed out that generosity depends on different things like gender, age and nationality. We wanted to see if predetermined factors like genetics also had an effect on the intention of generosity. There is a ratio between the index finger (2D) and ring finger (4D) that is determined by the levels of testosterone in the amniotic fluid and that have had some significant effect on personality attributes like musical and leadership skills. We wanted to see if that ratio had any effect on the intention of generosity. We experimentally examined a group of priest student and two groups of young handball players and let the groups answer a survey that included a sort of dictator game and we photo copied their hands to get their 2D:4D-ratio.
