Background: In studies about Romani people?s health, it becomes clear that the Romani inseveral countries have a poor health and avoid seeking health care.Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore Romani men's experiences of treatmentin the Swedish health care.Method: A qualitative interview study was conducted with respondents about theirexperiences in individual interviews. Seven male Romanis were elected with a purposefulsample. A content analysis by systematic text condensation on the data obtained was made asdescribed by Granheim & Lundman (2004).Results: The summed up impressions of the responses was perceived to be good, however,many men believe that the information is inadequate. Staff at the emergency department inUppsala should listen more to patients.

Bakgrund. På akutmottagningen är flödet av patienter stort och möten mellan sjuksköterskor och patienter är korta och tidspressade. Det primära för patienter på en akutmottagning är att sjuksköterskan vet vad som ska göras. Omvårdnad kan delas upp i två kategorier: instrumentell omvårdnad och emotionell omvårdnad. För att agera med omvårdnad, måste sjuksköterskan dels ha ett omhändertagande med teknisk kompetens och samtidigt stödja patientens emotionella behov.

Syfte: Undersöka sjuksköterskor inom ambulanssjukvårdens erfarenheter och upplevelser av hot och våld i arbetslivet. Metod: Empirisk studie med kvalitativ ansats. Sex semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomfördes. Materialet analyserades med en innehållsanalys. Resultat:  Hot om våld och patienter med ett hotfullt beteende är en del av arbetet i ambulansen enligt informanterna.

Sammanfattning.Bakgrund:Crush syndrome eller traumatisk rahbdomyolys är vanligt vid större naturkatastrofer som tex jordbävningar. Det kan också uppkomma när personer utsätts för tryck mot musklerna vid tex stroke, intoxikationer, byggnadsras, industriolyckor. Inom ambulanssjukvården i Sverige har vi inte någon behandlingsplan för detta tillstånd och därför kan det finnas en risk att dessa patienter inte får rätt omvårdnad.Syfte:Studiens syfte var att belysa ambulanssjuksköterskans omvårdnad vid risk för Crush syndrome.Metod:En litteraturstudie gjordes för att granska redan publicerat forskningsmaterial. Sökningarna gjordes i databaserna Cinahl och Pubmed. Fem artiklar inkluderades och innehållet analyserades med manifest innehållsanalys.Resultat:De patienter som riskerar att få Crush syndrom har följande symtom: skada på muskelmassa, förlängd kompression, komprimerad lokal cirkulation, puls >120 och onormal urinfärg.

Introduction: To become acute ill and to be forced to seek treatment involves a difficult but also a vulnerable time for the individual. This acquires a good relationship between the nurse and the patient. At a surgical emergency ward patients with different diagnoses and trauma are treated. What distinguishes this specific type of ward is that care often occurs in a rapid rate and as a patient the environment may be experienced as stressed. The relationship with the nurse at the ward establishes a foundation for how the patient experiences the health care.

This qualitative study examines how emergency people are framed in Swedish evening-, and local newspapers during the forest fire in Va?stmanland, Sweden 2014. The study also includes if there is any difference between the framing due to the location of the newspaper. The study is based on qualitative text analysis. The theoretical basis is representation, framing theory, media image, media logic and a few conceptions from crisis communication theory.

The main purpose of this study is to find out what kind of help social service in one selected municipality in Sweden can provide for children who have witnessed or been victims of domestic violence. Using focus group interview this study investigate how the social workers meet the needs of these children. The bases for our analysis are the Organization Theory and the Attachment Theory, as well as previous research. Important results are that the social services are dependent on notifications in order to do their work and that the most common interventions are foster care, emergency foster care and/or family therapy. The difficulties that social workers perceive their work are unjustified families and heavy workloads.

Brist på kommunikation och koordination mellan vårdenheter utgör ett hot mot patientsäkerheten. Överrapportering bör vara kort, koncis, strukturerad och relevant. Det behövs en samsyn mellan prehospital och inhospital triagering. Triagering enligt ADAPT har visats vara ett tydligt kommunikationsinstrument som ökar patientsäkerheten i samband med överlämningar. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om prehospital triage kan öka patientsäkerheten och förkorta ledtiderna i samband med överlämning av patient mellan ambulanssjukvård och akutmottagning.

Background:There are approximately 45 000 people in the ages over 65 years dies outside the health facilities of the hospitals in Sweden in every year. Previous research has shown lacking knowledge in taking care of the next of kin during and after a sudden death. However, conducted research has emphasized that ambulance nurses often are the next of kin?s first contact with the health care system during sudden death at home. Research has also shown that the mourning of the next of kin is affected by the ambulance nurses? way of announcing the next of kin when someone close dies.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe what nurses experienced in connection with waiting time related frustration among patients and relatives in the emergency department and also what strategies nurses use to manage waiting time related frustration.Background: The numbers of emergency department visits are increasing and lead to waiting times which can cause frustration among patients and relatives, a frustration that nurses encounter in their everyday work and need strategies to deal with.Methods: This is a descriptive qualitative study. Interviews are conducted with five nurses, transcribed and analyzed by qualitative content analysis.Findings: The nurses feel inadequate and powerless when they meet patients and relatives frustration. In order to deal with patients and relatives frustration, they use the strategy of participation, which implies to involve and meet patients and relatives needs for information and to be seen. In order to prevent themselves becoming frustrated they use adaptability, by creating an inner calm, not take it personally and to distance themselves from the frustration.Conclusion: The result highlights the importance of managing the activity to reduce waiting time related frustration, for example through reflection and working for reducing waiting times. Further research is also needed..

De olika landstingen i Sverige bedriver den prehospitala vården utifrån olika styrning, verksamheten har en avsaknad av en gemensam styrning, samordning och nationella riktlinjer. Flera landsting i Sverige har svårigheter att bibehålla arbetskraft inom verksamheten, med detta menas att i vissa fall tenderar verksamheten till att inte kunna hantera att bemanna ambulanserna.Studien uppmärksammar en rad samhälleliga förändringar som skett under nittiotalet och som har inneburit en rad förändringar avseende ökade krav på bland annat rörlighet och flexibilitet för både organisationen och individen. Dessa förändringar påverkar förutsättningarna för den prehospitala vården och de individer som är yrkesverksamma i den. Studien undersöker arbetskraftens upplevelser utifrån deras yrkesroll, belöningssystem och lönesystem, arbetskraftens tillfredsställelse i arbetet och även förutsättningarna för att kunna vara hantverksskicklig. Arbetsklimatet inom prehospital vård har förändrats och verksamheten har fått en tydligt ökad omsättning av arbetskraft.
