ABSTRACT The persons whom the authorized nurse encounters in hospital wards and nursing homes are in great extent elderly persons. According to Wasserman (2000), about 30 to 40 percent among these, show signs of depression. To be aware of the signs of depression, and how an authorized nurse can support the patient is therefore of great value. The introduction to this study describes the symptoms of depression and how depression in elders is expressed. It also describes treatment possibilities and nursing aspects of concern.

Det har forskats en hel del om föräldrars delaktighet i omvårdnaden av sitt sjuka barn, men forskningen rörande föräldrarnas förväntningar på sjuksköterskan är inte lika omfattande. Syftet har varit att belysa föräldrars förväntningar på sjuksköterskan vid vård av inlagda barn 0-18 år. Studien har genomförts som en litteraturstudie där resultatet bygger på åtta (8) vårldsomfattande vetenskapliga forskningsrapporter. Som teoretisk referensram har Calgary modellen för familjecentrerad omvårdnad använts. I resultatet framträdde följande kategorier som var betydelsefulla förväntningar från föräldrarna: information, tillgänglighet, kontinuitet, stöd - förtroende samt samarbete - delaktighet.

Bakgrund Studier har visat att många äldre tar smärtstillande läkemedel regelbundet pga. långvarig smärta. Då den äldre befolkningen kommer att öka så kommer detta problem troligtvis bli stort i framtiden. Det har visats genom tidigare studier att smärta hos äldre har försummats. Det är därför viktigt att lyfta fram detta problem.

Ett adekvat kostintag är nödvändigt för uppbyggnad och underhåll av kroppens celler och det är därför en förutsättning för att en person skall kunna hålla sig frisk. Vid trauman och operativa ingrepp krävs ett allmänt ökat näringsintag under rehabiliteringen. Detta för en minskad risk för komplikationer och för ett snabbare tillfrisknande. Patientinformation är ett viktigt verktyg vid utbildning om nutritionens betydelse för läkningsprocessen. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur vuxna patienter, som genomgått ett ortopediskt ingrepp informeras av sjuksköterskan om nutritionens betydelse för läkningsprocessen.

The goal with this study have been to investigate how teachers in physical education perceive health as a concept, and how they choose to work with in the classes they teach. Health as a concept can be somewhat diffuse and as the Swedish curriculum doesn?t define the concept the teacher are given a freedom in interpreting what health is and how it will be taught to the students. This makes it interesting to study if teachers perceive health differently and if that affect what they are teaching their students.I used interviews as a method to answer my questions and the results show that there wasn?t much difference between the teachers in how they perceive health and how, and what, they teach their students.

Increasing immigration to Sweden has transformed a culturally homogeneous society into a more heterogeneous one. As a consequence intercultural communication and interaction have been increasing. Child health care agencies have encountered these increases. The aim of this study was to examine what the health care professionals experienced and communicated in these intercultural environments. Eight interviews with child health care nurses were carried through at four child health care centers in the south of Sweden.

Urininkontinens hos kvinnor i Sverige och i resten av världen är idag ett växande problem och ett dolt hälsoproblem. Syftet med studien var att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med urininkontinens. Metod som användes var en kvalitativ litteraturstudie med vetenskapligt granskade artiklar. Sökningen resulterade i nio artiklar. Vetenskapliga artiklar söktes i CINAHL och LibHub databas.

Bakgrund: Personer med ej akuta tillstånd utgör en betydande del av besökarna på en akutmottagning och det är av vikt att deras omvårdnad innehåller kvalitet. Hög patientgenomströmning medför ökad arbetsbelastning och stressiga situationer, vilket kan medföra att sjuksköterskan fokuserar på symtomen och människan glöms bort. Syftet med studien var att belysa hur personer med ej akuta tillstånd upplever omvårdnaden på en akutmottagning i Storbritannien och Sverige. Metod: Innehållsanalys gjordes av artiklar med kvalitativ ansats. Resultatet visade att det fanns brister i omvårdnaden som påverkade vårdrelationen, tryggheten och lidandet hos de vårdsökande personerna.
