Sverige anses ofta vara ett av v?rldens mest sekul?ra l?nder och det religi?sa inflytandet i samh?llet har successivt blivit mindre. Denna uppsats diskuterar denna f?r?ndring genom att redog?ra f?r hur personer i en Equmeniakyrka utanf?r G?teborg lever ut sin kristna identitet.

Bakgrund: Det r?der en global brist p? organ och trots att det utf?rs fler organdonationsoperationer, m?ter det inte antalet som ?r i behov av organ f?r sin ?verlevnad. F?r att en avliden m?nniska ska f? donera beh?ver individen avlida under s?rskilda omst?ndigheter, f?r att sedan genomg? en donationsprocess. En donationsoperation involverar m?nga professioner, inklusive perioperativa sjuksk?terskor. Tidigare forskning visar att medverkan kan ge uppkomst till existentiella fr?gor samt p?verka sjuksk?terskans attityd om donationsoperation.

Internationell forskning visar entydigt att den palliativa v?rden ?r oj?mlik baserat p? en rad sociala best?mningsfaktorer, som k?n, ?lder, etnicitet, socioekonomisk position, boendesituation med flera.
