Den berörda organisationen hade implementerat ett nytt arbetssätt, "Medarbetarskap och Ledarskap". Studien är en utvärdering på individnivå av hur arbetssättet påverkat undersökningspersonerna. Nitton personer med olika befattningar deltog i undersökningen som utgjordes av enskilda intervjuer och fokusgrupper. Samtliga intervjuer spelades in med diktafon och transkriberades därefter ordagrant. Resultatet visade att medarbetarna var negativa till arbetssättet, delvis på grund av hur pengarna satsades, men det framfördes även kritik beträffande innehållet.

Bakgrund Individer med psykiska sjukdomar är ett vanligt förekommande patientklientel på somatiska vårdavdelningar. Att vårda dessa individer kräver ofta mycket arbete och fokus från allmänsjuksköterskan. Syftet var att belysa vad som kan ligga till grund för sjuksköterskors attityder till vårdandet av patienter med psykiska sjukdomar i somatiska vårdmiljöer. Metod Studien genomfördes som en litteraturstudie, på ett systematiskt vis, baserad på data från tolv vetenskapliga studier. Vetenskaplig litteratur inom området söktes upp, granskades, analyserades och sammanställdes. Resultat Sjuksköterskans attityder visade sig främst vara kopplade till dennes vård- och arbetsmiljö, sjuksköterskeutbildningen och den tillgång till stöd som sjuksköterskan upplevde samt hennes tidigare erfarenheter.  Resultatet presenteras utifrån tre kategorier: Vårdmiljöns betydelse för sjuksköterskans attityder, Utbildningens och kunskapens betydelse för sjuksköterskans attityder samt Erfarenhetens betydelse för sjuksköterskans attityder. Diskussion De mest centrala fynden diskuteras utifrån resultatets tre kategorier. Om sjuksköterskeutbildningar utökade kursutbudet inom psykiatrisk omvårdnad och om möjlighet till bättre stöd och kontinuerlig utbildning, blev tillgänglig för personal på somatiska vårdavdelningar, skulle detta förmodligen förändra den negativa inställning som många sjuksköterskor har till vårdandet av psykiskt sjuka patienter. Det skulle också skapas bättre förutsättningar för sjuksköterskor att kunna bistå med en bättre vård.

This Batchelor?s Thesis concerns 20 points at the MDA-program (People, Computers and Work) at Blekinge Institute of Technology in Ronneby, Sweden. 10 points concerns Computer Science and 10 points Human Work Science. The thesis is about the process of starting a new department of Blekingesjukhuset [Blekinge Hospital] in Karlshamn, Blekinge called Sjukvårdsrådgivningen [Health Care Advice Bureau]. The thesis starts with a description of the ethnographical methods used, followed by the process of establishing the department.

Stress is commonly found in society today. This paper aims to examine how work performance, cooperation and team spirit are maintained in demanding work environments. By studying two departments in a public hospital that practises addiction care, our findings suggest the following: If the experienced stress is mainly connected to challenge stressors, it has a positive effect on work performance. By organising work through mechanistic and organic structure, the handling of qualitative and quantitative stress is facilitated. As a consequence, first and foremost cooperation can be maintained, but also work performance and team spirit.

Patienter med psykisk störning riskerar att få sämre behandling när de söker vård för somatiska sjukdomar. Patienter med psykisk störning upplever också att de blir sämre bemötta än patienter utan psykiska diagnoser inom den somatiska vården. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva sjuksköterskors attityder till patienter med psykiska störningar inom den somatiska vården. Syftet var också att som kvalitetsgranskning beskriva de utvalda studiernas undersökningsgrupp och bortfall. Studien är en litteraturstudie med beskrivande design där13 artiklar inkluderades från databaserna PubMed och Scopus.

Platelets are small fragments, but they are of crucial importance for the coagulation. The risk of spontaneous bleeding increases when the level of platelets falls below a thrombocyte particle concentration threshold value of 50 x 109/L. In those cases a platelet transfusion might be compulsory. Ongoing research tries to improve the quality of the platelets and to increase the safety of the method used. However, we still need to better understand which factors that affect how patients react upon platelet transfusion.

Teaching preschool children about the environment. A comparative study of how two preschools work with environmental issues.My investigations are based on qualitative interviews and observations carried out at two preschools, one of which has a nature and environment profile while the other works in traditional ways with these questions. I sought to explore the ways in which pedagogues in each preschool raise environmental awareness and, more generally, awaken an interest in nature in the children. The consequences of methodological similarities and differences will be considered.This term paper concludes that the difference between an environmental profile preschool and a traditional preschool working on environmental awareness is not large. The knowledge gained by children in the latter preschool surpassed that gained in the former.

The purpose of the study was to review the current veterinary literature regarding gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV) considering pathophysiology and treatment, and to evaluate the operative technique (incisional gastropexy) used during the years 2005 and 2006 at the University Animal Hospital (Universitetsdjursjukhuset), SLU, Uppsala, Sweden. GDV has a complicated pathophysiology which foremost effects the circulatory system. Progress is often acute and it is not unusual that patients are affected with shock. The initial treatment targets to alleviate the shock by fluid therapy and decompression of the stomach. There is a high risk of recurrence in the long term perspective unless the stomach is surgically fixated by gastropexy. The study describes two different techniques for gastropexy; incisional gastropexy, and funduspexy. Long term complications were rare among the patients that were treated surgically, while about half out of the eighteen dogs that undergo surgery do experience complications of various severity in the short term..

Background: People are individuals who react differently when confronted with unexpected events. To miscarry is nature?s own way of sorting out the foetuses which could never become a fully grown child.

Bakgrund: Historiskt har personer med psykisk ohälsa setts som annorlunda och varit utstötta av samhället. Dagens samhälle porträtterar ofta personer med psykisk ohälsa som galna och farliga. Psykisk ohälsa är idag vanligt förekommande, och för att kunna ge högkvalitativ vård måste en holistisk syn vara grundläggande.Syfte: Syftet är att belysa vårdpersonalens erfarenheter i mötet med patienter med psykiska ohälsa inom den somatiska vården.Metod: En litteraturstudie baserad på åtta vetenskapliga artiklar har gjorts, varav sex artiklar är kvantitativa och två kvalitativa. Vikt lades på att belysa vårdpersonalens erfarenheter i mötet med patienter med psykisk ohälsa. Teoretisk förankring har skett till Katie Erikssons teori om vårdande.Resultat: Resultatet visar att det förekommer negativa attityder gentemot dessa patienter inom den somatiska vården.

Background: In Sweden the healthcare has moved from the homes to the hospitals, as the system has developed. Parents were not allowed to visit their children when they were hospitalised in the past. It was noticed in the beginning of the 20th century that it might be harmful for the children to be left without parents at the hospital. Today it is considered a fact that the parents should stay with their hospitalised children and the healthcare is based on a family-centered care. Aim: The aim of this literature study was to elucidate parents experience when having hospitalised children.

Aim: The aims of this essay were first to see if there were any factors that could have an inpact on participating in supportive care groups and activities after a prostatic cancer diagnosis. The second aim was to examine what kind of support the patients would chose. Methods: Data was collected with a survey handed out to the prostate cancer patients visiting the urologist reception at the hospital in Uppsala, during two weeks in the fall of 2011. Main Results: Men show very little interest in participating in supportive care groups and activities. When asked to chose which kind of support they could consider, individual sessions and group sessions were the most common choice. Conclusion: Men diagnosed with prostate cancer chose not to participate in supportive care. Further studies are required to determine what may be the reason to that..

Mulitresistent staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacteria that is resistent against penicillin, this makes it difficulte to treat. MRSA causes woundinfections and other seriouse conditions. If MRSA establishes in an hospital environment it often spreads fast. Common ways of spreading MRSA is through direct or indirect contact. The nurse should work according to guidelines, apply hygienic routines and prevent the spread of infections.
