Stress kan beskrivas som en brist på balans mellan de krav som ställs på oss och vår förmåga att handskas med dem. När stress blir långvarig och utdragen blir det till slut en bestående obalans mellan kroppens nedbrytande och uppbyggande funktioner. Det finns rapporter från de senaste tio åren som visar att sjuksköterskor upplever de högsta nivåerna av yrkesrelaterad stress inom hälso- och sjukvård. Det kan uppstå skadliga reaktioner i kroppen och påverkan kan uppkomma både psykiskt, fysiskt och socialt i till exempel omvårdnadsarbetet eller i organisationen. Det gör att sjuksköterskor sätter sin fysiska och psykiska hälsa på spel.

Although school librarians have an important role to play in high schools helping teachers and students during their education, Swedish school librarians are often considered to end up left out by teachers and head principals due to school librarians vague and unclear professional role in the school. The aim of this thesis is to attempt to study school librarians own apprehensions of their particular professional role in a high school context, and how their professional role is believed to be apprehended by teachers and head principals. The results are based on interviews made with eight school librarians working in different high school libraries in Gothenburg during April 2002. By using phenomenographic method various existing apprehensions of the specific phenomena that the professional role of the school librarian constitutes of are made clear. The aim of the method is not to study what the profession constitutes of, but rather how it is apprehended by the school librarians themselves.

Nolén, Kristina (2015). Ingen står i kö direkt! Skolpersonals upplevelse av arbetsrelaterad stress i undervisningen av elever med autism och utvecklingsstörning. (There are no takers! School Staffs Experience of Work Related Stress in Teaching Pupils with Autism and Learning Disability). Speciallärarprogrammet, Skolutveckling och ledarskap, Lärande och samhälle, Malmö högskola Problemområdet för föreliggande examensarbete är skolpersonals upplevelse av arbetsrelaterad stress i undervisningen av elever med autismspektrum och utvecklingsstörning. Studiens syfte är att bidra med kunskap om arbetsrelaterad stress i undervisningen av elever med autismspektrum och utvecklingsstörning genom att beskriva, tolka och förstå skolpersonals upplevelser samt organisationen av det specialpedagogiska arbetet vid några grundsär- och gymnasiesärskolor. De preciserade frågeställningarna är följande: Vilka upplevelser av stress uttrycks av skolpersonal?, Hur påverkar relationella aspekter skolpersonalens upplevelse av stress i undervisningen?, Vilket stöd finns och vilket stöd efterfrågar skolpersonalen? samt hur upplever skolpersonalen att undervisningen och relationen till eleverna påverkas av arbetsrelaterad stress? Bakgrunden till studien ligger i bland annat studier av Greene et al (2002) och Kokkinos och Davazoglou (2009).

Stress i vården är ett aktuellt problem och innebär en ökad risk för psykisk och fysisk ohälsa hos omvårdnadspersonalen. Patientsäkerheten och patienternas upplevelser av vården blir lidande när förekomsten av stress hos personalen är hög. Många studier om stress i sjukvården har genomförts, samtidigt som en ökad frekvens av sjukskrivningar hos sjukvårdspersonalen ses. Syftet med denna studie var därför att sammanställa kunskap om faktorer som har betydelse för att reducera stress hos omvårdnadspersonalen. Studien genomfördes som en integrerad litteraturöversikt där aktuell forskning söktes i fem databaser, detta kompletterades med manuell sökning.

Stress är ett aktuellt ämne i dagens samhälle. Tidigare forskning har påvisat en koppling mellan stress, personlighet och kön. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om det fanns något samband mellan upplevd stress och karaktärsdraget neuroticism, med hänsyn till kön bland studenter. PSS och SGC-1 formulären delades ut till 109 studenter, varav 62 män och 47 kvinnor. Resultatet av studien visade att det fanns ett positivt samband mellan upplevd stress och neuroticism, när det kontrollerades för kön.

Syftet med denna studie var att jämföra samhälls-och beteendevetarprogrammet (n=70) och psykologprogrammet (n=70) i akademisk stress och strategier för att hantera stress. Deltagarna bestod utav universitetsstudenter och mätinstrumentet för studien var en enkätundersökning med skalorna ?Akademisk stress?, ?kognitiv coping-strategi?, ?Social support?, ?Sociala kontakter? och ?positiva-och negativa coping-strategier?. Det visade sig att det inte fanns någon skillnad mellan studenter från samhälls-och beteendevetarprogrammet och studenter från psykologprogrammet i hur akademisk stressade det var. Det fanns inget signifikant samband mellan programmens sociala stöd, sociala kontakter, kognitiva coping-strategier eller sättet att hantera positiva och negativa coping-strategi på.
