The overall objective of our research is to understand  how social workers in social services protect the individual's autonomy, integrity and a coercive law which deprives the individual of his rights.In this study, we bring out social secretaries perspective on how they see the compulsory treatment and the problems that can arise in a detention. This study is based on the questions; How are power between social worker and client? What is the social secretary of the law on compulsory as a tool to help clients?We interviewed eight social workers who work specifically with compulsory treatment. We used the result to answer our questions. As a theoretical background, we chose to use the power perspective, the concepts of flexibility and freedom of action and categorizations.The results that emerged from our study are that compulsory treatment is considered to be a positive and negative thing.

On children born with a complete cleft lip and palate (CLP) the repair of the alveolar ridge doesn´t take place before the children are about ten years old. This results in that they have a residual cleft in the alveolar ridge during their early childhood. This residual cleft, and the oronasal fistulas that may appear after the repair of the hard palate, can result in a negative influence on the speech of the children. Thereby it may be necessary with cover for examplewith a palatal plate or an obturator. At the Department of Orthodontics, at Linköping University Hospital, Sweden, some of the children with CLP undergo treatment with sustained palatal fistula obturation in order to cover fistulas or residual clefts.

The purpose with our essay was to examine what favourable factors there are for women to get out of drug abuse and from a gender aspect interpret how these factors are used in the treatment of female drug-addicts, regarded from the treatment personnel view. The questions we have focused on are: What are the favourable factors for women in the way out of the addiction. How can the use of favourable factors be interpreted from a gender aspect. In what way is the knowledge about these favourable factors used in the drug abuse treatment.To fulfil the purpose whit our examination and to get answers to our questions we performed an explorative examination and applied a qualitative method in the form of a half structured interview with five persons.The main features of the results in our examination were that unisexual treatment, the group and the friendship between women, children and pregnancy and professional and private social network were considered as the favourable factors for the women out of their addiction. Certain factors were used in the treatment as a way to socialize or resocialize the female drug-addicts to predominant social models of how a woman should be like..

Stress är idag ett välanvänt begrepp som existerar i många personers vardag och kan ilångvariga tillstånd ge negativa efterverkningar. Forskning kring området stress ochätbeteende har visat på spridda resultat men majoriteten visar dock på liten till stor förändringav ätbeteendet. Studien syftade till att undersöka skillnader i ätbeteende, vid låg respektivehög upplevd stressnivå hos män (24-65 år). Genom ett bekvämlighetsurval skickades enwebbenkät bestående av Perceived Stress Scale samt frågor som belyser ätbeteende ut till engrupp män (n=119). Svarsfrekvensen uppgick till 61 % (n=72).

The aim of this study is to describe and analyse the knowledge of three of the treatment methods used in youth welfare and this is accomplished through a knowledge review. This study contains an analysis of three different treatment methods described in eleven different peer reviewed articles. The articles are all internationally published between the years 2006 to 2012 and they are all effectiveness evaluations. The articles deal with treatment methods concerning Motivational interviewing (MI), Aggression Replacement Training (ART) and Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and these are three of the most common in youth welfare in Sweden. There is not much knowledge of Swedish conditions and that is why this study focuses on international research.

Stressrelaterade symptom har blivit vanligare bland ungdomar i Sverige och klassrumsenkäter har visat att fler och fler barn och ungdomar lider av psykiska och psykosomatiska problem. Ungdomar upplever framförallt stress i samband med skolan. Många unga upplever en stor osäkerhet inför framtiden. Syftet med studien var att kartlägga vilka områden kvinnor respektive män i årskurs tre i gymnasiet upplever som stressframkallande samt undersöka om de under det senaste året gjort förändringar i sitt aktivitetsmönster. Ett frågeformulär som bestod av det australiensiska instrumentet Adolescent Stress Questionnaire [ASQ] samt tre egenkonstruerade frågor angående elevernas aktivitetsutförande under det senaste året besvarades av 40 elever i två naturvetenskapliga klasser på en gymnasieskola i sydöstra Sverige.

Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka orsakerna till varför studie- och yrkesvägledare i grundskolan upplever, eller inte upplever, stress, samt om detta påverkar utförandet av arbetsuppgifterna. Urvalet av informanter gjordes med avsikt att de skulle representera skolor med olika sociala miljöer i Tåstad. Undersökningen har utförts genom en litteraturstudie och en kvalitativ intervjuundersökning med mestadels öppna frågor så att informanterna gavs möjlighet att beskriva tankar, känslor och upplevelser. Undersökningen visar att upplevelsen av stress är individuell. Flertalet av studie- och yrkesvägledarna, som ingått i studien, upplever stress periodvis, ändock uppfattas det allmänt sett inte som något större problem.

Public health is important to many areas of society. It is important to have different goals to focus the work with health promotion in different sectors, one such area is the school. In the society of today there are a lot of public health issues like stress, overweight and physical inactivity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between physical activity and perceived stress, energy and musculoskeletal disorders among office-workers and warehouse-workers and also to see if there were any differences depending on work-place and gender. The method that was used to collect data was three different validated questionnaires that measured stress and energy (the Stress-Energy questionnaire), musculoskeletal disorders (intensity and localization of pain, a Pain Drawing questionnaire with a VAS-scale) and physical activity (IPAQ ? the short version). Eighty-eight workers participated in the study. Forty-seven of them were office-workers and forty-one were warehouse-workers.

The purpose of this study was to examine how school counselors in a specific municipalityviewed their work situation, if they experienced stress and how they would handle that stress.Five school counselors out of eight in the specific municipality participated in qualitativeinterviews where they could describe their feelings and thoughts. Their experiences wasexamined and analyzed with the theories of coping and empowerment. The results showedthat there were unhealthy levels of stress in the profession amongst the five counselors. It alsoshowed that the uttermost reason for the experienced unhealthy stress was the feeling of notbeing able to give as much time and help to the pupils as they want and need. The reason forthis was that an increasing number of pupils were, and are, experiencing unhappiness and arein need of seeing the school counselor.

There has been a dramatic increase in long-term sick leave in Sweden, which largely depends on occupational stress. Occupational stress applies particularly in relationship-intensive jobs, which means that the individual works with a lot of contact or responsibility for other people. Research has shown that attachment is relevant to the choice of coping style and perception of stress in the workplace. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationships between attachment patterns, coping styles and occupational stress in relationship-intensive jobs and to extend previous studies by adding the variables age, work experience and education in relation to coping styles and occupational stress. The study was in quantitative form in which 186 participants from various relationship-intensive jobs across Sweden participated.

Vi har uppmärksammat den oro som vilar över lärarnas arbetssituation, och valt att fördjupa oss i området lärare och stress. Arbetsuppgifter som ska göras och hinnas med skapar stress, men även uppgifter som egentligen inte tillhör läraryrket. Det finns undersökningar och statistik som visar att kvinnliga lärare i större utsträckning lider av stress än de manliga. Vår problemformulering lyder: Vad innebär stress för kvinnliga lärare? Anledning till detta kan man bland annat finna i att skolan reformerats och att lärarna inte hinner sätta sig in i bland annat det nya systemet, då tiden är en bristvara.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka skillnader i krav, kontroll och socialt stöd (JDC-S) utifrån QPS Nordic mellan teknikkonsulter i små och stora företag inom samma verksamhetsområde samt skillnader i upplevd stressnivå utifrån Statshälsans basundersökning. Ytterligare ett syfte var att undersöka i vilken grad JDC-S predicerar stress samt vilken faktor som predicerar stress i högst grad. Resultatet visade signifikanta skillnader i samtliga skalor i JDC-S som kunde lokaliseras i inlärningskrav och kontroll av arbetstakt. Resultatet påvisade inga skillnader i fråga om företagsstorlek och stress där teknikkonsulter upplever stress relativt sällan. Detta motsäger tidigare studier om konsulter och stress, som visat att konsulter upplever stress i hög grad.
