In this project I have created a design for the delivery rooms of Swedish hospitals with the psychological aspects ofbirthgiving in focus. This is something that I think the delivery rooms lack and so far it has been the midwifes job to,without any tools, give the women in labor the mental support and encouragement they need.My goal was to give the midwifes a tool to work with when it comes to encouragement, something helping themhelping the woman to feel safe and relaxed, strengthened, informed and in control of the situation.I choose to focus on the difficulties measuring the physical work the woman in labour had done and what was leftof the labour. I wanted to visualize the process of the birth, allowing the woman to see and being able to focus onwhere during the labour she is, how far she has left and also being strengthened by the amount of work already managed.Further I wanted to make the woman feel invited to take control over the birth and the room in which she isin labour. I wanted her to be able ? if she wanted ? to make her own settings of the mood in the room, deciding forherself if she wanted a more relaxed environment or perhaps a more energetic.

Syfte och frågeställningarSyftet med studien var att kartlägga den mentala hälsan bland brandmän på sex av Storstockholms brandförsvars (SSBF) stationer. Ytterligare syfte var att undersöka vilka faktorer relaterade till arbetsmiljön som göra att brandmännen mår bra respektive mår mindre bra. Dessutom ville studien undersöka om det finns samband mellan brandmännens upplevda mentala hälsa och arbetsrelaterade faktorer, så som antal larm/år, befattning och antal år jobbat inom yrket? Hur upplevs den mentala hälsan på de sex stationerna i SSBF?Vilka faktorer relaterade till arbetsmiljö anser brandmännen påverkar deras mentala hälsa?Finns det ett samband mellan brandmännens upplevda mentala hälsa och arbetsrelaterade faktorer, så som antal larm/år, befattning och antal år jobbat inom yrket? MetodDatainsamlingen till undersökningen skedde med en kvantitativ enkätmetod. Målgruppen var 116 brandmän med samtliga befattningar i utryckande tjänst på de sex brandstationerna.

The study explores collective action in Sweden between 1980 to 1995 using time-series data from the European Protest and Coercion Database. In spite of severe hardship during the crisis of the early 1990s, Swedish strike-rates declined. However, contention merely shifted from workplaces into the streets; there was indeed a protest movement against austerity, as shown by a series of large demonstrations, and some riots, between 1989 and 1993. Further analysis indicates this movement faded as it was increasingly chanelled into the electoral campaign of the labor pary; having won the 1994 election, the organised labor movement no longer had an interest in sustaining the protest movement against austerity..

The purpose has been to investigate leisure-time centers actual work on children with attention deficit disorder. In addition, the study strives to make leisure-time centers way of working, in relation to their assignments, visible. The study has also compared how the leisure-time centers work and what the research says. The survey was conducted with the help of three exploratory interviews with pedagogues and three-piece observations at the leisure-time centers. It was carried out at three different schools in two counties in Sweden.The results of the survey show that the schools are trying to create clear procedures, though the centers succeed with this in varied degrees.

AbstractThe aim of this essay is to analyse what roll repression has had in the making of my unpublished collection of poems entitled Hopp som i hare. I examine how the autobiographical subject abortion has influenced the writing process and the outcome of the poems. By presenting literature that?s been important in the making of the collection I show some thoughts and ideas about Post Abortion Stress Disorder, a diagnosis without scientific grounds. In a discussion I go through the whole writing process from subject and genre choice through the revisions till the final version that were sent to be commented by the class in creative writing at Växjö University 2008.

This study is about children that have been forced to flee to another country, due to conflict, poverty or natural disasters, without their families. They are known as unaccompanied refugee children. The aim of the study is to, by focusing on individual children's feelings and experiences of being forced to flee create greater knowledge and understanding of what is hidden behind some of the statistic of migration.To answer the aim of the study, I used the following research questions: How is a child affected by being forced to leave home and to flee to a foreign country? How does an unaccompanied refugee child perceive the exodus? How do the unaccompanied refugee children handle their situation during the flight and at arrival in Sweden?The study is based on a qualitative method and consists in semi-structured interviews with five unaccompanied refugee children aged 17 to 21. The theoretical framework is based on three theoretical concepts; refugee crisis, identity and coping.The study results show that these children are a very vulnerable group, who were forced to be exposed to several losses and traumas.

Bakgrund: Våld på arbetsplatsen har blivit alltmer vanligt inom vården och det är ett problem många sjuksköterskor någon gång kommer utsättas för. Våld kan både vara fysiskt och verbalt och kan orsaka konsekvenser i form av försämrad  mental hälsa, samt känslor som rädsla eller otrygghet på arbetsplatsen. Dessa konsekvenser kan i sin tur påverka sjuksköterskornas arbetsförmåga och produktivitet. Syfte: Att beskriva psykosociala konsekvenser av fysiskt och verbalt våld från patienter/och eller anhöriga riktat mot sjuksköterskor som jobbar på sjukhus samt vilken påverkan våldet har på sjusköterskors relation till arbetet och förmåga att ge en patientsäker vård. Metod: Litteraturstudie baserat på 14 kvantitativa och kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar.

Syftet med föreliggande systematiska litteraturstudie var att belysa brister i omvårdnaden av patienter med borderline personlighetsstörning (BPS) och vad bristerna beror på. Vid Högskolan Dalarnas fulltextdatabas Elin och PsycInfo söktes vetenskapliga fulltextartiklar som omfattade BPS och omvårdnad. Av 35 artiklar valdes 14 ut varav 9 kvalitativa och 5 kvantitativa. Dessa artiklar kvalitetsprövades med 28 kriterier från granskningsmallar modifierade efter Forsberg och Wengström (2003), Willman, Stoltz och Bahtsevani (2006). Av artiklarna framkom att den viktigaste aspekten i omvårdnaden utgjordes av personalens patientbemötande.

The fungus Gremmeniella abietina causes damage to conifers that can lead to tree death. In 1999 and 2001 the pathogen caused severe attacks in Sweden, where about 500 000 ha of pine forest were affected. Trees of all ages were attacked, but mainly forests between 30-60 years that were ready for their first commercial thinning. After recommendations from the forest agency, sanitary fellings were made to trees that had more needle loss than 85%, a total of about 50 000 ha. Economic losses have been estimated to more than one billion SEK.

Tidigare forskning kring pojkars självkänsla och kroppsmissnöje i relation till massmedieanvändning, extraversion och BMI har utfallit något olika och är inte lika omfattande som forskningen kring flickor. Syftet med denna undersökning var att ta reda på om massmedia, extraversion och BMI har betydelse för tonåriga pojkars självkänsla och kroppsuppfattning. Kvantitativ metod i form av en enkätundersökning användes. Sjuttiotvå gymnasiestuderande pojkar besvarade enkäten som innehöll instrument för att mäta BMI, extraversion, kroppsmissnöje, massmedieanvändning och självkänsla. Resultatet visade att massmedieanvändning inte korrelerar med vare sig självkänsla eller kroppsmissnöje.

The purpose of this study was to, by using thematic analysis, investigate how psychologists experience and are affected by treating sexually assaulted individuals, if and how they use different coping strategies to maintain their own wellbeing and how they are affected by the organization. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight psychologists working in a clinic dedicated for patients with history of sexual assault. The analysis identified one general theme and four themes. The general theme Consciousness and active choices minted the other themes. Participants' awareness of their own and colleagues? health supplied conditions for inner reflection, which along with concern for potential negative effects resulted in active choices for mental health and work environment.

Our purpose with this qualitative study is to investigate how teachers experience their work situation, using Karasek and Theorell?s demand-, control- and support model. The study is based upon ten semi-structured interviews with gymnasium teachers. The interviews were transcribed and coded with three different themes; demand, control and support. We analyzed the results with Karasek and Theorell?s mentioned model.

Stroke is one of the most common diseases in Sweden and the third most common cause of death (National guidelines concerning stroke, 2000). Dysphagia is a common problem for stroke patients with almost 50 percent of patients suffering from severe swallowing dysfunction (Axelsson, Asplund, Norberg & Eriksson, 1989). The purpose of this study was to investigate how stroke patients with dysphagia experience their swallowing disorders. The method used was a qualitative literature study. An analysis of content was carried out using ideas and inspiration from Graneheim and Lundman (2003).

Som grund för denna uppsats ligger en tidigare undersökning med titeln Undersökning av mental arbetsbelastning under instrumentflygövningar (Andreas Johnsson, 2004). Denna uppsats utgör en fortsättning på ovan nämnda undersökning. Liksom i Johnssons (2004) undersökning har en subjektiv mätmetod baserad på en niogradig skala använts för att utvärdera svaren på den enkät som använts för att få fram data. I denna uppsats undersöktes samma kurs som i den tidigare undersökningen. Det vill säga studenterna i kurs 03:2 vid Trafikflyghögskolan, Lunds universitet.

Bakgrund: I Sverige brännskadas cirka 20 000 personer om året och cirka 1 363 patienter per år vårdas på sjukhus för sina brännskador. Livskvalitet betyder olika för samtliga människor beroende på vilken situation personen befinner sig i. En brännskada orsakad av en olyckshändelse kan utlösa en psykisk kris. Krisens faser är: chockfas, reaktionsfas, bearbetningsfas och nyorienteringsfas. En persons förmåga att hantera svårigheter i livet kan förstås utifrån känsla av sammanhang (KASAM).
