Syfte: undersöka och jÀmföra eventuella skillnader i upplevelse av delaktighet och livskvalitet hos tvÄ grupper av mÀnniskor med para- eller tetraplegi. En grupp har medverkat pÄ rekryteringsgruppens lÀger och den andra gruppen har inte varit pÄ nÄgot lÀger men antagits till nÀsta.Design: Statisk gruppjÀmförelse av tvÄ grupper dÀr den ena har genomgÄtt ett lÀger av rekryteringsgruppen.Metod: Elva mÀn och kvinnor med ryggmÀrgsskada medverkade i studien. Upplevd delaktighet och livskvalitet hos deltagarna undersöktes med instrumenten Reintegration to Normal Living (RNL) och The Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life Questionaire (SCI QL-23). Resultat: De som deltagit pÄ lÀgret skattade högre delaktighet pÄ Ätta av de elva frÄgorna. De skattade ocksÄ högre siffror pÄ den del av SCI QL-23 om livskvalitet som handlade om uppskattad fysisk och social funktion.Slutsats: Man kunde se tendenser pÄ att delaktigheten skattats högre av dem som deltagit pÄ rekryteringsgruppens lÀger.

Bakgrund: Tidigare prÀglades vÄrden utifrÄn ett synsÀtt, dÀr vÄrdgivaren styrde över vÄrden. Detta synsÀtt har successivt övergÄtt till att patienten bör vara mer delaktig och fatta egna beslut. Information pÄverkar Àven graden av delaktighet och förmÄgan att fatta beslut sjÀlvstÀndigt. Patientens delaktighet i vÄrden styrks i patientlagen och sjuksköterskan har ett ansvar att bjuda in patienten till delaktighet. Syftet: Att beskriva patientens upplevelser av delaktighet i vÄrden.

The current research examined whether motives, traditional mass media consumption and individual differences (social activity and political interest) predicted the use of social media among a group of university students in China. In coherence with Uses and Gratifications assumptions the study found that the factors differentially predicted the extent of media use. Information seeking, social interaction and affinity were the main reasons for using social media. There was a negative correlation between television viewing and use of social media, in addition to a negative correlation between information seeking and use of the media. Results further suggest that social media are used to enhance social capital, since student?s being socially active offline, tend to use the media to a greater extent than those less active..

Utifr?n ett planerings- och policyperspektiv finns det en stark uppfattning om att bostadsblandning p? grannskapsniv? kan bidra till en ?kad social sammanh?llning och en h?gre livskvalitet f?r de boende i dessa grannskap. Bland forskare r?der det d?remot en oenighet kring hur starkt sambandet mellan bostadsblandning och social sammanh?llning verkligen ?r, d? studier uppvisar varierade resultat. Denna studie ?mnar att unders?ka social sammanh?llning i urbana grannskap som tidigare dominerats av hyresr?tter, men som sedan millennieskiftet blandats upp med andra bostadstyper.

The purpose of this paper is to study how people without home experience social services and how they experience their space of action when they meet social services. In order to answer these questions, a qualitative approach has been used. The empirical material consists of five interviews with people who have contact with social services because they are homeless. To support my analysis of the space of action for the persons being interviewed, I?ve used two theoretical perspectives, power analysis by Michel Foucault and Rational Choice.

This study examines the connection between social capital and involvement within voluntary associations; involvement is defined either as being a member in an association or a member who has some kind of assignment in an association. The study also examines if there is a difference between two social economic groups regarding the attainment and transformation of social capital through being involved in a voluntary association.Social capital is defined as social trust and the willingness of collective action.The result of the research shows there is a slight connection between the involvement in voluntary associations and social capital. It shows that people who are members of a voluntary association often have higher social capital than those who are not members of any voluntary association at all. The study also shows that there is a difference in attainment of social capital between those who have some kind of assignment in a voluntary association and general members.When studying social capital and involvement in voluntary associations it is also of interest to take social class into the analysis, because the study shows that people with a lower education had increased social capital when they were members in an association compared to the members with a higher education..

The purpose of our study is to describe and understand whether, and if so, how social workers in school and in social services construct computer gaming adolescents as a social problem. We chose social workers who encounter adolescents with different problems. We have conducted qualitative interviews with vignettes to capture the social workers' reasoning about computer gaming adolescents and how they handle this in their work. The study shows that all social workers we interviewed had encountered adolescents with troubling computer gaming habits. In the study, all agree that computer gaming becomes a problem when it leads to deviant behaviour such as not going to school, staying up all night and so on.
