?this Unpleasent klientel?A study on refugee care in Växjö between the years 1944 and 1947.The purpose of this study was to examine the treatment of sick refugees in Växjö in the 1940s. To achieve this a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The material found in the local archive and local newspaper was then put together and analyzed from the theoretical perspective, gender, class, ethnicity and social status.The result of this study shows that there were two main treatment wards for refugees, one that was supposed to treat women and children with active tuberculosis and the other ward treated refuges with ?epidemic diseases.? Foreign citizens were also taken care of in other words that were also not meant for refugees only, like the Epidemic hospital, which treated about 80 patients of a foreign nationality between 1944 and 1946.

Bakgrund: Den psykiatriska slutenvården liksom sjuksköterskans roll har förändrats sedan seklets början. Institutionalisering har ersatts av vård och behandling av patienten, vilket har förändrat kravet på utbildad personal liksom synen på kompetens. Historien förefaller dock fortsatt påverka dagens psykiatriska vårdkultur, och möjligheterna för specialistsjuksköterskan inom psykiatrisk slutenvård att använda sin specialistkompetens förefaller vara beroende av mer än sjuksköterskans egen kunskap och förmåga.Syfte: Studiens syfte var att beskriva hur specialistsjuksköterskor och chefer inom psykiatrisk slutenvård ser på specialistsjuksköterskans kompetens och roll.Metod: Datamaterialet samlades in genom individuella semistrukturerade intervjuer med specialistsjuksköterskor och chefer verksamma inom psykiatrisk slutenvård. Materialet analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys inspirerad av Elo och Kyngäs. Materialet sorterades därefter in i en analysram inspirerad av Kings konceptuella system: det personliga systemet, det interpersonella systemet samt det sociala systemetResultat: Den kvalitativa analysen utmynnade i tre kategorier: Specialistsjuksköterskans fördjupade kompetens leder till inre trygghet (personliga systemet), specialistsjuksköterskans kompetens främjar patientens hälsoprocess (interpersonella systemet) och Specialistsjuksköterskans kompetens efterfrågas inte av organisationen (sociala systemet).Diskussion: Specialistkunskapen beskrevs som internaliserad i den enskilda sjuksköterskan och det beskrevs att specialistkunskapen gynnade patientens hälsoprocess.

Sammanfattning Bakgrund: När människor blir patienter inom psykiatrisk vård upplever de sig ofta utlämnade till andras välvilja. De kan ofta redan innan ha en skör och svag autonomi och deras egen medverkan och delaktighet i vården kan ibland vara svår att särskilja. Det finns en stor aktualitet i ämnet delaktighet då patienters rättigheter, självbestämmande, inflytande och ansvar i vården på många sätt står i fokus idag.  Syfte: Att beskriva patienters erfarenhet av delaktighet inom psykiatrisk vård Metod: Metoden är en litteraturstudie där 14 vetenskapliga artiklar som svarar på syftet och frågeställningarna för studien har sökts fram. Analysmetoden baseras på en kvalitativ innehållsanalys där meningsbärande enheter identifieras som vidare kodas i kategorier och utvecklas till centrala teman. Resultat: Resultatet redovisas under fem huvudteman; att bli sedd, att få veta, att utgå från patienten, att ha kontroll och egenmakt samt att hindras av sitt sjukdomslidande med tillhörande underteman. Resultatet visar att bekräftelse i vårdrelationen är viktigt för att skapa förutsättningar för patientens delaktighet. Om en patient har en känsla av att bli sedd, hörd, förstådd, respekterad som individ och bekräftad av vårdare kan ett ömsesidigt givande och tagande i relation uppstå och utgöra en god grund för delaktigheten.

Bakgrund: Den mellanmänskliga relationen, baserad på kommunikation och samtal, utgör kärnan i psykiatriskt vårdande. Denna studie utgår från det vårdande samtalets teori där vårdandets grundmotiv är caritas, en naturlig strävan efter att lindra lidande och bevara patientens värdighet i en vårdande relation. Varje sjuksköterska inom psykiatrisk vård kan förväntas möta personer med samsjuklighet i psykisk ohälsa och missbruk eller beroende. Ökad kunskap om dessa personers upplevelser av vårdande samtal förväntas dels öka förståelsen för deras lidande, dels utveckla sjuksköterskans förmåga att i samtalet kombinera etisk hållning, lyhördhet och praktiskt agerande, vilket kan bidra till att fler personer med denna typ av samsjuklighet kan erbjudas samtal som upplevs som vårdande och därmed lindrar lidande. Syfte: Syftet med denna intervjustudie är att belysa upplevelser av vårdande samtal hos personer med samtidig psykisk ohälsa och missbruk eller beroende.

AbstractThis essay contains a comparison between principals and supervisors within the Health-care and is focused on their view regarding their own leadership. It contains a comparison between their respective models for leadership and how to evolve as a leader within these two organizations.The study is carried out as in dept interviews with four principals and four supervisors.The results show that the principals have a sufficient education and a broad network, but they need the opportunity to a personal development within their leadership. On the other hand, within the Health-care, the supervisors stand on a good base of education where focus lies on the personal development within the leadership. However, they need more opportunities to build up their networks.The conclusion that can be drawn is that these two organisations would gain on learning from each other, in order to establish as good conditions as possible to improve the leaderships within their own organization..

Many organizational changes have been accomplished in elder care since the 1980's and many of those have been influenced by market mechanisms. The purpose of this study is to examine how the implementation of these market mechanisms has affected three important aspects in the work situation for personnel. These aspects are, demand, control and support. To attain the purpose of this study, five qualitative interviews with home care personnel have been carried out. The interview material has been analyzed and structured with the help of Karasek and Theorells demand-control-support model.

While the technological infrastructure that enables collaboration between municipalities, counties and private health care providers improves, so does the need for health-care providers to gain access to the right patient journal at the right time. For doctors, nurses and other health-care organization employees this goal is achieved by NPÖ, National Patient Summary. NPÖ effectively enables health-care records to be shared across organizational boundaries. This thesis is based on a demand by a mobile application that can give district nurses access to health-care records wherever they are.This thesis describes the development of a prototype of a mobile application aimed for NPÖ. This includes investigating a suitable mobile platform, investigating available card readers for reading electronic identification from SITHS cards and the ability to connect to external services such as NPÖ.

The aim of the study was to investigate how a community motivates and ensures the implementation of its values and how this document affected personnel of meaning, vision and daily operations. The study was based on semi-structured interviews, in which nine respondents were interviewed in a city in southern Sweden. Interviews dealt with three different themes, all concerned organization or set of values. The analysis was based partly on how organizations and institutions build up and maintain their legitimacy. The analysis was also explained by the new institutional theory and its concepts isomorphism.

Objective: To investigate the experiences of ambulance nurses when using Boussignac CPAPcompared to their previous model, and their suggestions for possible improvements in the use of CPAP in the care of patients with pulmonary oedema. Method: A qualitative study with a descriptive and exploratory approach. Data was collected through ten semi-structured interviews with ambulance nurses, seven men and three women. The analysis was conducted using Lundman and Graneheim?s content analysis.

Hair care is a hygienic treatment and is supervised by the Local Environment and Public Health Committee in the municipality. According to the Swedish Environmental Code, hairdressers as all practitioners are required to take measurements to protect the environment and public health. In hygienic treatments hazards may arise from inadequate hygiene practice which spread infection. Hazards may also arise from the use of hair care products such as permanent wave solutions, bleaches and hair dyes. Some hair dye components are known to cause contact allergy, mostly in hair dressers who are exposed professionally but also in some cases in consumers.

Background: IT-security is included in the concept of information security, which considers all the security of handling information within an organisation. Good IT-security is about finding the right level of measurement, however, it is hard to implemement new IT-solutions in an organisation, particularly within the health care field, where sensitive information are handled daily. Lately the Swedish government, together with county- and city council, understand the importance of IT and health care. Carelink, an organisation of interest, is working actively for the presumption of benefit by using IT within the health care field. During spring 2006 the Swedish government introduced a national IT-strategy.

The purpose of this essay was to examine how professional social workers work with follow up foster home placements. The study was based on qualitative interviews with ten professional social workers from different municipalities in Skåne in an attempt to answer the following questions:* What routines exist for the follow-up work with foster care?* What factors have an impact on how the follow-up is formed in the particular case?* How can the follow-up affect outcomes of the placement?* In what way could the work with follow-up foster home placements develop?The theories we chose to analyze our material from was the ecology of human development formed by Urie Bronfenbrenner and the theory of civil courage formed by Lennart Lundquist. The interviews were semi-structural which gave the respondents a chance to talk in a free way about the questions we presented.The result of the study showed that there is a difference in the way social workers form the follow-up work of foster care. The greatest difference is in whom the social workers include in their follow-up.

When nursing human patients during hospitalization, the nurse is the one responsible. The nursing is controlled by different models of nursing and careplans, shaped by every patient?s individual needs. This is to guarantee the quality of the care. The veterinary nurse is not ultimately responsible for patient care.

Children that are taken care of for institutional care by the social services are unprivileged as a group. When society takes over the parenting role, it forces local governments and other accountable authorities to guarantee these children satisfactory support and good care according to each child's needs. The aim of this thesis is to analyze and discuss problems with implementation in policy processes when authorities incorporate. From the normative standpoint of legal security and the United Nations Children's Convention, this thesis investigates the consequences of interaction between two Swedish supervisory authorities for the social services: Socialstyrelsen and länsstyrelserna. To fulfill the aim I will investigate the approach taken by the authorities and the work division between Socialstyrelsen and länsstyrelserna.
