Bakgrund: Forskning visar att det i Sverige blir allt fler äldre människor; samtidigt är dagens sjukvård inte organiserad för att möta deras behov. Äldre har ofta ett stort behov av omvårdnad och det är viktigt att sjuksköterskan arbetar personfokuserat relaterat till detta. Det sker idag en åldersdiskriminering av äldre och sjuksköterskans personliga egenskaper, såsom hennes attityd och bemötande, kan påverka vårdens kvalitet och hur den äldre upplever sin hälsa. Där av tydliggörs vikten av en god vårdrelation, med respekt för individens autonomi, integritet och värdighet.Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva vilka faktorer som kan ha betydelse för sjuksköterskans bemötande av äldre.Metod: Litteraturstudie baserad på tio vetenskapliga artiklar. Litteratursökningen genomfördes under mars och april månad, år 2011, i de elektroniska databaserna CINAHL, Medline och Pubmed.

April 28th 2010 the Swedish parliament decided that the combined teacher exam will be divided into four parts. This means that the education for preschool teachers and primary school teachers will have to be separated and future teachers will have to decide before their studies what ages they want to work with. To investigate if this could affect the quality of the choice I have interviewed 5 new teachers from the combined teachers program about what ages they wanted to teach before they began to study and what ages they wanted to teach after completed studies. I did this to see whether the choice was influenced by the educations or not. It turned out that all 5 had an idea of what ages they wanted to teach in before they began the educations and only one of my interviewees changed her mind during the studies.
