Bakgrund: Det finns rapporterad kunskap om vilka omvårdnadsåtgärder som används vid flera olika hälsotillstånd, bland dessa ingår dels diabetes typ 2, dels övervikt. Det saknas ett aktuellt översiktsarbete om vilka omvårdnadsåtgärder som används för att hjälpa en person som har både diabetes typ 2 och övervikt. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att beskriva omvårdnadsåtgärder som sjuksköterskan genomför för överviktiga personer med diabetes typ 2 samt att beskriva effekterna av dessa åtgärder. Metod: Studien gjordes genom att 13 originalartiklar analyserades med inspiration av en deduktiv innehållsanalys. Effekterna av omvårdnadsåtgärderna listades tillsammans med indelningen i kategorier och subkategorier.

Patientcentrerad vård har varit och är i fokus vid omorganisation och kvalitetsförbättringsarbete inom sjukvården. Det finns ett växande intresse hos myndigheter, forskare och patientföreningar nationellt och internationellt och det ställs numer krav på att vården skall vara mer patientcentrerad. Patientens upplevelse av vården och dennes livsvärld bör vara i fokus. Patientcentrerad vård är ett stort och komplext begrepp, vars definition kan tolkas som oklar och inte alltid enhetlig. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att försöka visa hur sjuksköterskans roll i patientcentrerad vård kan beskrivas.

To get a good economy on the dairy farms the fertility control of heifers and cows is a crucial factor. It is also important to know which key parameters that should be tracked. In this work well established routines for heat detection have to be applied. When the dairy farmers use technical aid in estrus control it is important not to forget that technical aids can not replace the human eye. Approximately 50 % of all opportunities to inseminate are missed because clear signs of estrus have not been displayed and/or recorded. The cattle fertility has been declining over recent years. During the same time the cow?s proceeds have increased, consequently applying a higher pressure on the cow and the manager.

Obesity is the most common nutritional disorder, and is defined as an accumulation of excessive amounts of adipose tissue in the body. Obesity is a condition where an animal exceeds its optimum body weight by more than 10-25%. Risk factors associated with obesity may include breed, age, castration or high energy intake relative to energy consumption. The consequences of obesity are believed to be metabolic and hormonal changes, as well as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, orthopedic problems, tumors and premature death. Prevention and early detection of obesity leads to better health care.
