Bakgrund:Sjuksköterskors huvudsakliga mål är att respektera patientens integritet och självbestämmande i vården samt att ge omvårdnad så att patienten känner sig trygg. Inom psykiatrisk omvårdnad ska sjuksköterskor dessutom ha fördjupade kunskaper för att främja hälsoresurser hos patienter samt tillgodose patientens omvårdnadsbehov. Sjuksköterskor betonar behovet att förtydliga målen inom psykiatrisk omvårdnad och enligt Socialstyrelsen behöver den psykiatriska vården förbättras.Syfte:Syftet med studien är att beskriva brister relaterat till sjuksköterskans utförande av omvårdnad inom psykiatrisk vård för att förebygga uppkomsten av vårdlidande hos patienten.Metod:En litteraturöversikt bestående av tio vetenskapliga artiklar hämtade från databaserna Cinahl och Pubmed. Artiklarna lästes igenom, analyserades, bearbetades och flera kategorier bildades. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten är begreppet vårdlidande som tagits upp av Katie Eriksson.Resultat:Två huvudkategorier av brister med respektiva subkategorier framkom.

Clinicians in veterinary practice have responsibilities for the development of global antibiotic resistance. In some cases, antibiotics are contraindicated or even useless in wound treatments and therefore other options are needed. Antiseptics may be another option but their use are controversial and may be questioned by owners. As professionals, it may be very difficult to be able to motivate this choice of treatment. The aim of this paper is to gain knowledge about four antiseptics; iodine, silver, polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) and honey to make it easier for veterinary nurses and other clinicians in veterinary practices to decide their potential use. The assessment will be made with consideration of the available evidence concerning the properties, usability and the animal?s experience. The results showed a lack of evidence in in-vivo studies in horses, particularly studies within the field of veterinary nursing.

Bakgrund: Få studier har gjorts inom psykiatrisk omvårdnad med fokus på patientperspektivet. Detta perspektiv är dock viktigt då det ger en inblick i hur patienterna upplever den vård de erhåller. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva hur patienter på en psykiatrisk vårdavdelning upplever det bemötande de får av avdelningens sjuksköterskor. Metod: Semistrukturerade intervjuer som sedan analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Vid analys av materialet framkom fyra huvudkategorier som samlade de aspekter på bra och mindre bra bemötande som respondenterna beskrivit: Betydelsen av att bli sedd och bekräftad av personalen, Personalens agerande och attityder gentemot patienterna, Önskemål och förväntningar på personalen samt Hur icke-verbal kommunikation påverkar hur bemötandet upplevs.

The aim of this empirical study was to investigate how nurses on a ward within the emergency clinic deal with analgesia prescriptions and the pain management documentation. The used method was divided into chart reviews and qualitative interviews with nurses in clinical practice at the ward. This means that both a qualitative and quantitative approach was desired. The results incline that nurses generally apply to the laws and restrictions surrounding the nursing discipline, as used in pain treatment. Thus they generally fulfill the obligations accounting to documentation.

Ronald McDonald Hus är en ackommodering som ger familjer med sjuka barn möjlighet att kunna bo och uppleva en hemlik miljö samtidigt som deras barn vårdas på sjukhuset. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det förelåg något samband mellan vistelsens längd på Ronald McDonald Hus och hur nöjda föräldrarna var avseende den fysiska och psykosociala boendemiljön. Vistelsens längd i denna studie definierades som ?mindre än tre nätter? och ?mer än tre nätter.? Metoden var en komparativ och kvantitativ enkätstudie. Konsekutivt urval användes för att rekrytera deltagare.

This thesis is a systematic review of the Swedish healthcare and hospital-library?s authorities on the consumer health information. The goal is to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses that are inherited in two professions (medical and LiS) with two completely different perspectives on mediating information.The method used is a mix between conceptual analysis of the Swedish term ?patient information? and a Critical conceptual analysis, according to Fairclough, of published native theses and international professional journals.Conclusion of the thesis is that although the nursing and medical staff has the necessary medical expertise it does not, in many cases have either the time or skill to completely satisfy a patient or his/her next of kin´s information needs when exposed in a uneasy situation as when in need of treatment or help in any kind.The hospital librarian on the other hand does have the intermediating skills and most often the time to explain complex treatments or medical procedures, but the lack in medical or nursing expertise.In a perfect setting there is an inter-professional cooperation which brings a lot of positive results. The problem today is often to overcome the gap in awareness of one and other that exists in a modern Swedish hospital..
