Bakgrund Psykisk oh?lsa ?r ett v?xande folkh?lsoproblem som p?verkar patienter i alla ?ldrar. Inom somatisk akutsjukv?rd upplever sjuksk?terskor ofta utmaningar i m?tet med patientgruppen och patienterna sj?lva k?nner av stigmatisering och en oj?mlik v?rd. Syfte Syftet med litteratur?versikten ?r att sammanst?lla kunskap om sjuksk?terskors upplevelser av att m?ta patienter med psykisk oh?lsa i somatisk akutsjukv?rd.

Bakgrund: Sjuksk?terskor inom akutsjukv?rd st?lls frekvent inf?r m?ten med patienter som genomlidit trauma. Detta s?tter sjuksk?terskorna i risk f?r att drabbas av empatitr?tthet. Empatitr?tthet ?r ett vanligt f?rekommande problem inom just akutsjukv?rd.

The purpose of this study was to find out what are the information needs of the nurses and if the hospital library can satisfy these needs, and see how the hospital library reaches the nurses with their information provision. The main questions are: what kinds of service exist at the hospital library? What kinds of needs have the nurses concerning the hospital library? How are the needs satisfied by the hospital library? What marketing strategies are used by the hospital library to reach out to the nurses? Is it enough to achieve the goal? The method in this study was a case study with the emphasis on the qualitative interviews. The study was conducted at the hospital library at Södra Älvsborgs Sjukhus in Borås. The interviews concerned the nurses views on the hospital library, information needs and marketing.

Bakgrund: Ett pl?tsligt d?dsfall kan drabba vem som helst och situationen ?r utmanande f?r samtliga involverade. Till de vanligaste orsakerna h?r hj?rtk?rlsjukdom f?r vuxna och olyckor f?r barn. Sjuksk?terskans k?rnkompetenser s? som samverkan i team och personcentrerad v?rd ?r centrala vid omh?ndertagandet av n?rst?ende.

Bakgrund: Befolkningen av ?ldre ?kar globalt och studier visar att antalet ?ldre p? akutmottagning ?r h?g till f?ljd av multisjuklighet, polyfarmaci och ?ldersrelaterade fysiologiska f?r?ndringar och funktionsneds?ttningar. Dessutom ?kar prevalensen av demenssjukdomar som en f?ljd av ovan. Studier visar att ?ven personer med demensproblematik ofta bes?ker akutmottagningen vilket ?r problematiskt d? milj?n d?r inte ?r anpassad f?r denna patientgrupp vilket uts?tter dem f?r en rad utmaningar med negativa konsekvenser, s?som f?rs?mring av beteende och funktion.

Bakgrund: Palliativ v?rd syftar till att f?rb?ttra livskvalitet, v?rdighet och v?lbefinnande f?r patienter med livshotande sjukdomar och deras familjer. Inom akutsjukv?rden uppst?r s?rskilda utmaningar eftersom fokus ofta ligger p? livr?ddande insatser, vilket kan f?rsv?ra m?jligheten att ge en v?rdig v?rd i livets slutskede. Syfte: Att unders?ka sjuksk?terskor erfarenheter av att ge palliativ v?rd inom akutsjukv?rden. Metod: En litteratur?versikt genomf?rdes baserad p? nio kvalitativa studier publicerade under de senaste tio ?ren. Databaserna PubMed och Cinahl anv?ndes f?r att s?ka artiklar.

ABSTRACTThe discussions about energy use have increased year by year everywhere in the society, and so also in the healthcare sector. But what is actually energy use in a hospital facility, and what affects it?The typical way today to express the energy use is in kWh/m2. The problem with a key performance indicator that is expressed as energy use in relation to a specific area is that it does not take into account the activity in the building. Even though the activity to a very high extent affects the energy use.

This study is an attempt to examine a hospital library's difficulties in reaching customers with consumer health information. The method was a case study of the consumer health service in the hospital library in Västerås, a town in Sweden. Qualitative interviews, observations and written material were used. The approach was from the actor's point of view with the intention to look upon the problem with the eyes of those who work at the hospital with information to patients, that is librarians and medical staff. Theories about marketing in service organizations and how to develop new services were used in the study, as well as theories about communication and different cultures within organizations of different kinds like the library and the hospital.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the role of bibliotherapy at hospitals and also what knowledge of and insights on bibliotherapy a few Swedish hospital librarians have. Questions investigated are: What role do the hospital librarians think literature has in the treatment of a patient? What is their view on their role as a hospital librarian and do they believe that they can have a part in the treatment of a patient? Is the concept bibliotherapy commonly used or is there another term in use? How important is the linkage between healing and literature? In this study, the view on bibliotherapy is limited to a hospital perspective. The purpose of the study is therefore to investigate bibliotherapy at the hospital. Six qualitative interviews with hospital librarians were performed at three general or combined general/medical hospital libraries.

The aim of this project was to create an interior design for a children?s hospital patient room with the concept to adapt the room for the wide target group from 0-18 years of age. The analysis in the project is based on the hospital ward 322 at Drottning Silvias Children?s and Youth Hospital in Gothenburg. It?s an oncology ward where the children are very sensitive for infections and therefore need to be isolated in their rooms for 3-4 weeks.The main goal for the project was to create a room that works as a template and gives the people who lives in it the opportunity to create thier own room based on the personal things they bring into it, and how they decide to furnish and use the room.The result of the project is a template room with fixed furniture that can be transformed due to screens in the room.

The aim of this paper is two-fold. Firstly, it is the production of a historical and chronological narrative describing the development of the Swedish Red Cross Hospital in Pusan during the years 1950-58. Secondly, it is the investigation of the objectives and aspirations of the organisations and institutions involved and how they affected how the hospital developed during the wartime years and up until the inauguration of the Scandinavian educational hospital, the National Medical Centre, in Seoul. Shortly after the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950 Sweden, a neutral nation, offered to send a contingent for the establishment of a 200 bed mobile field hospital which was to be subjected to the command of the Eighth US Army in Korea. In the end a larger semimobile evacuation hospital was set up in Pusan where both UN soldiers and PoWs were treated, and it came to be known as the Swedish Red Cross Hospital. The decrease in and finally the cessation of hostilities in 1953 opened up for treatment of Korean civilian patients and such work was conducted not only at the Swedish hospital but all over Pusan, though initially it was not formally sanctioned by American and UN authorities.

The outdoor environment at Children's hospital, the University Hospital, Uppsala, is used by sick children at the Children's hospital, their families and the hospital staff. The staff at the Children's hospital wanted to render the site more attractive and available. This graduation thesis is a proposal about how the outdoor environment at the Children's hospital can be improved. The aim is to design an environment for the sick children, their families and the hospital staff that will serve as a place for relaxation and privacy, as well as for play and movement. In order to find support for the redesign of this site I read literature about theories concerning healing environments, healing gardens, children's play and designs for children.
