Det föds ca 90 000 barn per år i Sverige och ca 10 % av dessa barn vårdas på neonatalavdelning. Föräldrar till barn som behöver neonatalvård upplever en ökad grad av stress, oro och hjälplöshet. Miljön som barnen vårdas i kan dessutom vara påfrestande, vilket påverkar föräldrarnas välmående och funktion.Barn på en neonatalavdelning är i stort behov av sina föräldrar och deras närhet samt medverkan. Den forskning som finns idag på området fokuserar på föräldrars upplevelser av stress när deras barn vårdas på neonatalavdelning.Resultatet av denna litteraturstudie beskriver hur föräldrar kan uppleva stress då deras barn vårdas på neonatalavdelning. Studien bygger på kvalitativ innehållsanalys och de artiklar som använts bygger på intervjuer av föräldrar vars barn vårdats på en neonatal intensivvårdsavdelning.Tre huvudteman och fem subteman har identifierats.

Både arbetsmiljön och de höga krav som ställs idag på sjuksköterskorutgör en svårare möjlighet att kunna säkerställa patientens säkerhet, men också den egnahälsan. En obalans mellan uppgifter som ska utföras för en konstant tidsbrist kan geupphov till stress hos sjuksköterskor. Syftet med översikten var att beskrivasjuksköterskans upplevelse av stress på sin arbetsplats. Metoden är baserad på Fribergsmodell för litteraturöversikt.

The essay explores nationalism in the curriculum of the swedish school from 1878 to 1994. The text has been undertaken an analysis in three levels of discourse based on Norman Faircloughs critical language analysis.

They are conservative nationalism, ?folkhemsnationalism? and contemporary nationalism.

The purpose of this thesis is to clarify the concept of ?managing diversity? and to describe how it appears in the Swedish school, in the classroom as well as in the organisation. To support the study, interviews have been carried out with principals and teachers in three different Swedish schools.The thesis is divided into two sections; a literature study and an interview section where we describe the thoughts and knowledge of principals and teachers. From a diversity point of view, we discuss the relationship between documents, organisation and teaching.The study described in this thesis shows that managing diversity has not yet had its break-through in a Swedish school context. The official curriculum of the Swedish school system values diversity, although the directives are unclear as to how the managing of diversity is to be carried out in reality.

This study titled School Model of Norrberga- a New Model of School. Some opinions that six pupils in the sixth grade have of their school is an explorative study. The purpose of this study is to some extent explain the ideas behind this quite spectacular model of school and the intentions of the City Council of Norrberga as they decided that all the schools that were to be renovated or built in the town of Norrberga had to follow a specific script.   As I first visited The Moonlight School I was puzzled. How do the teachers work it out? But, above all: Do the pupils work it out? What do they think about their school? When I was to write my final essay I wanted to try to sort this school out in more scientific terms. There is a nice, warm atmosphere at the school and the pupils make good results.

Our purpose with the study was to investigate how the image of a mother?s role is created by the magazines Mama and Husmodern. Mama is an existing magazine, but Husmodern ceased to exist in 1988.

The purpose of this analysis was by qualitative semi-structured interviews with twelve children 5-years old and six pre-school teachers at three pre-schools, a total of six departments, find out how pre-school teachers worked with waste separation, if it motivated the children to take care of the environment, and if the work was understandable for the children. The results showed that the children did not comprehend what the pre-school teachers expressed that they worked with regarding waste separation and actions connected to caring for the environment. The pre-school teachers also expressed that the children was not mature enough to learn about the process when waste separated garbage is recycled, and that the work with the subject therefore had been carried out on a lower level. The children however expressed knowledge that did not come straight from their actual every day life, but since dialogue about the subject did not seem to exist between pre-school teachers and children, the pre-school teachers appeared to have failed in making the learning meaningful and understandable for the children, from their knowledge, experiences and interests..

Sammanfattning  Förskolan är en arbetsplats där stress förekommer i stor utsträckning. Syftet med mitt examensarbete var att undersöka hur stressen visar sig i förskolan och vilka åtgärder som kan vidtas för att minska stressen.  För att synliggöra detta skapades en enkät som delades ut till 60 pedagoger, spridda på 6 förskolor. Fyrtiotvå pedagoger deltog i undersökningen. Resultatet visar att pedagogerna själva upplever de stora barngrupper som förekommer idag, samt att antalet pedagoger minskar som stressande.

The aim of this essay was to describe how school social workers can help and support students with parents who abuse alcohol or other drugs. We wanted to see how school social workers room for action is presented and how it affects their work with students living with parents who are abusing. We used a qualitative method to elucidate how school social workers handle this issue in a more profound way. By conducting semistructured interviews with six school social workers in one province in southern Sweden we gained exhaustive and detailed answers. In the analysis we used street level bureaucracy and theory of recognition.

Cause-Related Marketing (CRM) is a marketing activity that has grown popular in the USA and studies have been carried out that explore how American consumers perceive and react to CRM. In Sweden, however, CRM has not yet found ground to any greater extent, and therefore there is limited research on how Swedish consumers react to CRM and how they perceive it. In this study, eight Swedish consumers are interviewed regarding their perception of CRM. The main findings of the investigation are that Swedish consumers fit well into a model that is based on American consumers? responses to CRM.

Långvarig stress ökar risk för ohälsa och sjukfrånvaro, med negativa konsekvenser för individ, organisation och samhälle. En preventiv metod för stresshantering är Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT).

Bortfall hanterades med intent-to-treat-analys. Vid förmätning rapporterade två tredjedelar av deltagarna hög stressnivå (PSS?25).
