Our paper is targeting mainly students, but also all other people interested in social work with children. The purpose of our study was to investigate how the social workers experience and handle their work with children, who have been exposed to sexual abuse, and what kind of support and guidance the social workers are offered, in order to handle their working situation. We chose to perform a qualitative study, by the use of interviews, since we found it to be the most appropriate way to gather the information. Our conclusion is that the work with these issues is emotionally burdensome and requires a great commitment, however it is essential for the social workers to maintain a certain distance to their work, in order not to influence their personal lives. It is through experience and knowledge that the social workers learn how to handle their working situation.

Swedish and international research indicate that many measures made by social services, concerning children and adolescents who are taken from their homes to an institution, are interrupted prematurely for different reasons. The word "breakdown" is used when a measure granted by the social service is broken before the projected time has passed. Research concerning how social service employees are influenced by measures being interrupted prematurely is very limited. The aim of this qualitative study is to examine how social service employees in Malmö are influenced by the premature interruption, "breakdown", of measures concerning children and adolescents who are taken from their homes to an institution. The theoretic basis for the study is Symbolic interactionism, especially the theory of Stefan Morén concerning conditions for change.The study is based on interviews with social employees, relevant material from research in this field and an examination of the theoretical basis.

This thesis examines young people's thoughts about their presence on social media. With asocial constructive approach the study focused on how young people think and act on socialmedia in relation to constructions of gender and normality. The analysis is based on fourgroup interviews with 13-year old boys and girls. The theoretical approach is based partly onsocial constructionism where discourses and ideas of normality are identified and analyzed.Erving Goffman's theory of social interaction was central to illustrate how young peoplepresents themselves based on the prevailing discourses. It is clear that they adjust theirrepresentations of themselves depending on the context.

This thesis examines the relationship between recognition of prior learning and the aim to increase social and ethnical diversity in higher education. Recognition of prior learning is a result of educational politics aiming to broaden social and ethnical recruitment to higher education. By examining if recognition of prior learning rather can, and shall, be seen as part of what Pierre Bourdieu calls educational social reproduction I try to question whether it fulfils education policy goals or not. My results show that persons responsible for recognition of prior learning rather recognise knowledge from prior educational institutions than knowledge gained outside the educational system. Considering this, recognition of prior learning does not quite live up to the aims.

Hunden har sedan 40 000 år tillbaka funnits hos människan och verkat vid dess sida. En inverkan på människan på både det fysiska och psykiska planet har under åren kunnat påvisas och genom att sätta hunden i relation till begrepp inom omvårdnad kan de själsliga aspekterna lyftas fram och visa hur människan och hunden kan ha nytta av varandra. I sjuksköterskans profession ingår det att se till hela människan, uppmärksamma dennes lidande och främja hälsa. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utforska hundens inverkan på människors hälsa och välbefinnande och diskutera detta i relation till omvårdnad. En litteraturöversikt gjordes på 11 artiklar som analyserades utefter skillnader och likheter i resultatet och kategorier utformades efter detta.

Social organization in this essay will be defined as an archaic state organization that requires several levels of administration to rule the society..

Samhället står inför stora utmaningar då undersköterskeyrket hotas med stora pensionsavgångar och för få sökande elever till vård och omsorgsprogrammet. Detta kommer att ha en stor påverkan på oss alla då undersköterskeyrket ingår i Sveriges största yrkesområde.I vår studie har vi valt att undersöka elever på vård och omsorgsprogrammet, för att se hur de reflekterar över sin utbildning och se hur social bakgrund är med och påverkar val man gör. Till vår hjälp har vi använt oss av teorier från Pierre Bourdieu, Thomas Brante, Bernt Gustavsson och Gerd Lindgren för att skapa en förståelse kring denna problematik.För att få en bredd i vår studie har vi valt att använda en kvantitativ metod i form av enkäter som vi lämnade ut till gymnasielever på vård och omsorgsprogrammet. Resultatet av enkäterna visar bland annat på att elevernas sociala bakgrund har en viss inverkan på gymnasievalet och utbildning. Resultatet visar även att många av eleverna har som mål att studera vidare efter gymnasiet vilket leder till ett stort rekryteringsbehov som drabbar hela vård- och omsorgssektorn..

The purpose of this essay was to investigate and analyze affecting factors concerning social workers in two different municipality social services, Karlskrona and Karlshamn, working with cases of youth drug abuse. We wanted to see what affects social workers in their choices of assessments of youth drug abusers. We wanted to find out whether the organizational aspects or the cliental qualities affect the social workers more than the other in the choices of assessments. Among the cliental qualities we used in this essay, gender was the most important quality and therefore the quality we wanted to pay special attention to. When it came to the organizational aspects we paid special attention to the social workers boundaries of agency.

The aim of this qualitative deep interview study was to gain deeper understanding of single immigrant mothers´life situation. Grounded Theory was the method of analysis. Repeated interviews with five immigrant women from different parts of the world showed that women were in need of wider and deeper social networks in order to reconstruct their identities. Social support and social networks benefit, not only reconstruction of identity, but also personal well-being. Yet it is difficult for them to create social networks in the new country, because of single motherhood.
