Syfte: Syftet med studien var att kartlägga förekomst och undersöka samband mellan stress och depression hos patienter som genomgått en hjärtinfarkt. Syftet var även att undersöka eventuella skillnader mellan män och kvinnors upplevelser av stress och depression vid hjärtinfarkt.Metod: Patienter som vårdats på en hjärtavdelning för hjärtinfarkt i Mellansverige och är svensktalande inkluderades i studien. Enkäterna Vardagslivets Stress och MADRS-S användes som mätinstrument.Resultat: Antalet inkluderade deltagare i studien var 20 stycken. Förekomsten av självskattad depression uppgick till 5 % efter en hjärtinfarkt. Förekomst av självskattad stress sågs hos totalt 20 % av deltagarna, av dessa var det 5 % som hamnade i den högsta kategorin av stress.

The focus of our study was to examine personal assistants and group home assistants experiences of stress at work, how they cope with stress and how it affects the relationship with the care recipient. The study is made out of a qualitative frame and based on interviews with two personal assistants and four group home assistants. Our theoretical perspectives consist of Aaron Antonovsky?s SOC theory, Richard Lazarus theory about coping and also sociologist Johan Asplund?s theory about social interaction. The result indicates that the experiences of stress are individual and varied among the participants while the presence of stress at work is a shared apprehension.

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att empiriskt undersöka om barn har erfarenheter av stress i samband med matematik och i så fall varför denna stress yttrar sig. Den empiriska undersökningen grundar sig på elva elever i år 2 och 3 egnas erfarenheter och uppfattningar om stress i samband med matematik. Jag har bedrivit ostrukturerade och ostandaliserade gruppintervjuer. Min teoretiska del består av två delar, den första behandlar definitioner av två centrala begrepp, stress och stressor. Den andra sammanställer relevant forskning om barns stress.

The aim of this study was to examine if performance-based self-esteem, personality (Type A), perceived stress, age and gender predict the value of own or others life-stress (VLS). The aim was also to examine whether the variables were correlated significantly with each other. The investigation was conducted in a town in the mid-south of Sweden. The instrument consisted of two forms where the first measured Type A personality and the second tapped perform-ance-based self-esteem, perceived stress and the level of life-stress. The results showed that the level of life-stress could explain, on the basis of the predictors, performance-based self-esteem, personality (Type A), perceived stress, age and gender.

This study was performed in order to evaluate if the method of collecting uterine secretion by the tampon-method is representative for use in studies of uterine secretions in mares. Uterine secretion collected by tampon in six mares was compared with secretion collected by aspiration, regarded to be a native sample, at the Institution of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, SLU, Uppsala. Proteinanalysis was made at the Department of Farmaceutic Bioscience, toxicological unit, Uppsala University. Cytological smears and ultrasonography was used to assess if the tampon had caused an inflammatoric reaction that could influence the protein content of the samples. The results suggest that the tampon and aspirat method do not differ when it comes to proteinconcentration, but the distribution of proteins differ between these different collection methods. This difference could not likely be explained by means of proteins due to an inflammatory reaction from the tampon, since neither the cytological nor the ultrasonographical examination gave any indications of inflammation.

The aim of this study is to examine how the public responds to the journalists? use of subjectivity in the reporting of broadcasting news. The investigation is a qualitative study based on nine interviews with respondents in ages of 21 to 25 from different parts of Sweden. After showing five examples of news reporting with a subjective approach, the respondents gave their look on the use of subjectivity. The theoretical frame of the investigation is founded on the theory of framing (de Vreese, 2005; Entman, 1993) and the discussion concerning the terms objectivity and subjectivity (e.g.

Stress is something that has increased in recent decades among adolescents. Several reports indicate that young people today are more stressed because of the many demands they wear. They should be good in school, achievement expectations, get an education or job, make choices and think about their future. The purpose of our essay is that we want to explore and gain an understanding of how young people in the third grade in high school looks to stress. To conduct this study, we used a qualitative approach, by doing interviews with 10 high school students attending third grade at Västerviks gymnasium. The result we got out of the interviews was that young people experience stress differently, depending on their different as individuals. We found that there are different causes of stress, such as school, media, friends, demands from various quarters and choosing education.The interviews showed that some kind of stress was possible to handle for the adolescents, for instance by making schedule. Some stress from society was, on the other hand, more difficult to avoid..

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur manliga elitfotbollspelare (1) upplever stress under sin rehabilitering samt (2) vilka typer av strategier de använder sig av för att minska den upplevda stressen under sin rehabilitering. Elitfotbollspelarna (N=11) med en medelålder på 22 år besvarade en semistrukturerad intervjuguide gällande stress och coping under rehabilitering. Intervjuerna analyserades genom tematisk innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att elitfotbollspelare upplever störst press och stress från sig själva och att det sociala nätverket är en viktig del för att handskas med upplevd stress. Resultatet visade även att positiv inställning är en viktig komponent för att få ett bra rehabiliteringsutfall.

A unified model of stress and affect consciousness was proposed. The connection between affect consciousness and perceived stress was studied. Teachers (n = 19) were interviewed using Monsens affect interview, followed one month later by a questionnaire containing Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S, STAI-T) and Twenty Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20).Statistical analysis showed no connections between level of total affect consciousness and perceived stress. Though there were some indications of a negative relationship between affect consciousness and trait anxiety. There were also indications, using a complementary analysis, of a connection between level of affect consciousness on the subscale distress in the interview and perceived stress.

Att jobba som distriktssköterska innebär ett mycket brett arbetsfält med stort kontaktnät. Syftet med denna studie var att ta reda på om distriktssköterskor upplever stress i sitt arbete med fokus på hur den yttrar sig och hanteras.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att få fram hur elever upplever och definierar stress, vad som bidrar till stress enligt eleverna själva samt hur eleverna hanterar sin stress. Vidare är det intressant att jämföra och se om elevers upplevelser kring stress stämmer överens med den redan existerande forskningen. Metoden som används i uppsatsen är en kvalitativ metod och som utgår utifrån kvalitativa intervjuer. De kvalitativa intervjuerna erbjuder möjligheter att fånga upp infomanternas upplevelsers kring stress, vilket i sin tur leder till att en jämförelse med den redan existerande forskningen kan göras. I uppsatsens tidigare forskning och teoridel används relevant litteratur som berör stress, olika definitioner av stress, stressorer, positiv och negativ stress, åtgärder för att motverka stress samt stresshantering.

SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to explore how nurses in the emergency department experience and cope with stress in their workplace. The study had a qualitative, descriptive approach and was based on nine individual, semi-structured interviews. They were then processed using content analysis.
