Ambulanssjuksköterskor ställs ofta inför möten med närstående, samtidigt som de ska ta hand om en akut, svårt sjuk person. Syftet med studien var att beskriva ambulanssjuksköterskors upplevelser av möten med närstående i prehospitala situationer. Sex ambulanssjuksköterskor från tre ambulansenheter i norra Sverige intervjuades med öppna frågor. Intervjuerna analyserades som text med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Analysen resulterade i fem kategorier: Personlig kunskap, insikt och erfarenhet, mötas i stimulerande anda, stödjande möten, frustration och otillräcklighet samt bearbeta och avsluta mötet mentalt.

Introduction: Diabetes type 1 is a common chronic disease in children and adolescents. The disease affect, not only the child, but also the parents in their everyday life. The specialist diabetic nurse has a huge responsibility in supporting the parents to feel confident in managing the child?s diabetes.Aims of the study: To investigate how parents of children with diabetes type 1 perceive the care given from the specialist diabetic nurse and what wishes they have concerning the care they receive.Design and methods: Searches for studies in electronic databases were conducted between January 2013 and march 2013. A literature review containing 16 studies was compiled.

The aim of this study was to determine which type of fluid to use in trauma care to improve patient survival. The method used was a systematic review, where a total of 18 studies were reviewed and 13 included in the results. The inclusion criteria used in this study were Randomized controlled trial, or studies relevant for the purpose, written in English and published during the last ten years. The studies were identified in the PubMed data base. The results showed that in trauma with hypovolaemia, colloid infusion has a better effect than infusion of crystalloid fluid on blood pressure and colloid infusion reduced the body's cascade systems in a beneficial way. Colloid infusion administered to head injury patients lowered their intracranial pressure more than crystalloid infusion.

Palliative care concerns care of those who are dying and when cure is no longer an option. The nurse´s job is then to support the patient and to give care of good qualitive so that the patient will experience optimal quality of life. The aim of this literature review was to describe how the nurse can prepare herself/himself for the meeting with both the patient and close ones also to describe a nurse´s need of support and education. Nine studies have been used as a foundation for this literature review. Four headlines have been crystallized out of the result, a) the view of death b) the impact of the meeting c) the importance of support d) the importance of preparation and education.

Hjärt-kärlsjukdomar är den vanligaste dödsorsaken i Sverige. 41 % av kvinnorna och 39% av männen avled till följd av hjärt-kärlsjukdomar år 2011. Då ambulanspersonalen ofta har begränsad tid på sig att etablera kontakt och skapa sig en helhetsbild över patientens tillstånd, vilket är viktigt för att säkerställa en god behandling, kan kravet på effektivitet bli en stressfaktor. För att minska stressen kan det vara bra att utgå från en strukturerad bedömning av patientens tillstånd och där en god anamnes är ett viktigt redskap. Det finns utarbetade instrument för detta,däribland anamnestagande enligt Advanced Medical Life Support®-konceptet(AMLS).

Bakgrund: För att kunna ge en tydlig beskrivning av patientperspektivet gällande erfarenheter av bemötandet inom ambulanssjukvården och på akutmottagning är det viktigt att ta hänsyn till människors förväntningar på bemötande inom ambulanssjukvården. En ambulanssjuksköterska måste kunna visa engagemang och empati och kunna tolka och förutse patienters olika behov.Syfte: Att beskriva patienters erfarenheter av bemötande inom ambulanssjukvården och på akutmottagning.Metod: En litteraturstudie med systematisk ansats där studier (n=20) med kvalitativ metod inkluderats. Artikelsökningarna gjordes i databaserna CINAHL och PUBMED.Resultat: I resultatet framkommer tre teman; "det första upplevda bemötandet på akutmottagningen".Slutsats: Vid ett behov av akutsjukvård är ambulanssjukvården och akutmottagningen på ett sjukhus de första vårdinstanser som patienter kommer i kontakt med. Hur patienterna upplever bemötandet inom dessa instanser är avgörande för hur deras förtroende påverkas för deras fortsatta vård..

ABSTRACT The persons whom the authorized nurse encounters in hospital wards and nursing homes are in great extent elderly persons. According to Wasserman (2000), about 30 to 40 percent among these, show signs of depression. To be aware of the signs of depression, and how an authorized nurse can support the patient is therefore of great value. The introduction to this study describes the symptoms of depression and how depression in elders is expressed. It also describes treatment possibilities and nursing aspects of concern.

Bakgrund. Vårdaren i den prehospital akutsjukvården var ofta den första person som patienten i en kris mötte. Dessa möten var ofta korta och under denna tid skulle vårdaren försöka etablera både förtroende och trygghet. Som teoretisk referensram har Benners omvårdnadsteori använts. Syfte.
