Deliberate self-harm are a growing problem among young people in Sweden. It's not only the child that suffers from the behaviour, even the whole family. Parent´s need the right support from the healthcare staff for their own wellbeing, but also to be able to give good support for their child. Par-ent´s experiences are of importance for the nurse in the healthcare of the child and their families. The aim of this study was to describe parent´s experiences of living with a child with a deliberate self-harm behavior.

I denna uppsats har jag studerat förändringsarbete i samband med införande av Lean Healthcare. Arbetet har en abduktiv ansats där jag utifrån en fallstudie på Akademiska Sjukhuset i Uppsala har studerat hur de arbetar med förändringsarbetet. För att få insikt i deras förändringsarbete har jag intervjuat delar av personalen och deltagit i två av deras utbildningsdagar.Förutom en beskrivning av hur arbetet på Akademiska Sjukhuset är organiserat så innehåller arbetet även en stor teoridel som tar upp de grundläggande principerna i Lean-filosofin. I tillägg till detta så presenteras också en modell för förändringsarbete och jag har tagit med teorier som specifikt handlar om förändringsarbete i samband med införande av Lean Healthcare. Genom att jämföra teorierna med erfarenheterna från utbildningsdagarna har jag sedan kunnat dra slutsatser om förändringsarbetet.För att lyckas med Lean-implementeringen är det viktigt att inse att det kan finnas ett motstånd mot förändringarna.

Lung cancer is a disease which patients experience stigma in society and in care. This is because lung cancer is often seen as a self-inflicted disease. The stigma surrounding lung cancer is due to the strong relationship with smoking and have been shown to have a negative impact on the perceived health. The purpose of this study was to illuminate experiences of stigma for patients with lung cancer. The literature review was based on 11 scientific articles.

Denna uppsats ämnar förklara och skapa förståelse för förutsättningar till Lean Healthcare, den metod för effektivisering som sjukvården anammat för att utveckla och förändra de traditionsenliga verksamhetsstrategier som länge styrt sjukvårdens arbetssätt och processer. Genom att identifiera vilka egenskaper som bör stimuleras hos framtida arbetskraft för att skapa de förutsättningar som krävs för att vidmakthålla Lean Healthcare som en långsiktig effektiviseringsmetod bidrar denna studie med information som är behövlig för att ihärdigt lyckas med Lean Healthcare.De svårigheter som påvisats vid implementeringen av Lean Healthcare kan från befintlig forskning härledas till en kollision mellan den organisationskultur som förespråkas inom Lean, ursprungskonceptet till Lean Healthcare och den kulturella kontext som finns inom befintlig organisationskultur där Lean implementeras. Denna kollision påvisas genom en avsaknad av ihärdighet inom organisationerna som implementerat Lean då befintlig organisationskultur och verksamhetsstrategi motsätter sig de arbetsprocesser och det arbetssättet som förespråkas inom Lean-filosofin. Då många sjukhus i Sverige redan implementerat, eller är under omstrukturering till att implementera, Lean Healthcare ämnar denna uppsats undersöka hur framtida arbetskraft förhåller sig till det arbetssätt som förespråkas inom sjukvården.Utifrån en positivistisk kunskapssyn och ett deduktivt angreppssätt genomfördes en kvantitativ studie där arbetssättet och lärandet undersöktes hos en grupp studenter inom sjukvårdsprogrammen vid Umeå universitet. Arbetssättet och lärandet undersöktes för att kunna urskilja värderingar och beteenden som kunde härledas till att förutsäga utfallet av en integration mellan ny arbetskraft och befintlig organisationskultur inom sjukvården.Studiens resultat visar att arbete inom team innefattar karaktärsdrag hos framtida arbetskraft som behöver stärkas vilket främst bör göras genom att stimulera befintliga och kompatibla egenskaper med Lean Healthcare, så som beslutstagande och förmågan att ta an en ledarroll.

An idea analysis of the debate about försäkringsmedicinskt beslutsstöd (decision tool in healthcare security)This is a case study on different types of research use (utilization) The aim of this paper is to examine how the politicians make use of expertise and research in the parliamentary debate surrounding the decision tool in healthcare security (försäkringsmedicinskt beslutsstöd). The aim is also to find out to what extent different types of research use are present in this debate. In this case study the qualitative method of idea analysis is being used on the empirical material. The tool of analysis is based upon the theories of research use by Amara et al.

Based on an analysis of the Swedish laws in the field of healthcare, the purpose of this essay in jurisprudence is to examine whether Sweden has a need to implement the new EU-resolution on abortion. The study is based upon legal sources such as official government reports (SOU) as well as words of an Act. The subject also deals with ethical standards and more community-oriented material, and texts from both these areas are also included. The Swedish laws in health care are extensive, but still put the patient first. Care givers are able to delegate their responsibility if it means good health care which is also a key word in the Swedish health care.

The Swedish healthcare systems have over the past decades experienced a major reorganization that involves reduction of costs and cuts due to the financial problems that the public health system faced. Healthcare was criticized because it was considered to be bureaucratic and inefficient (Funck, 2007). The solution to this problem was to focus on other measures rather than the economic measures, such as modernizing the healthcare instead of cutting down. Implementing a balanced scorecard in a public sector as a hospital, perceived as failures. This is due to several factors such as communication, knowledge and expected time are not taken into consideration when implementing the scorecard.

ABSTRACTMy degree project has resulted in the improvement of the guidance in the dental center?s entrance. The patients will now find it easier to understand and find the environment?s various functions, which is the reception, registration, payment, and waiting rooms. Norrbottens läns landsting has a concept ?hälsofrämjande väntrum? that provides guidelines for how they want their patients to experience their waiting rooms.

The discrepancy in the rights for healthcare between undocumented migrants and the citizen in Sweden is a prerequisite for the existence of Läkarkliniken. Because of the chosen patient group the clinic stands outside the regulations from the National Board of Health and Welfare. The aim of this study was, from an institutional perspective, to investigate how such a unique player is designed and where the influences to the design origin from. The task was conducted thorough a qualitative case study with base in depth interviews. High levels of isomorphism were observed between Läkarkliniken and the general healthcare, however differences were seen as well.

This report addresses the growing need to adapt the medical healthcare to the new possibilities that can be accomplished by incorporating a web aspect to the personal treatment plans of patients. It describes what implementations that need to be considered in order to successfully convert to a partially web-based treatment.The report also reflects the potential economical gain that can be made by keeping the communication between the patient and the doctor frequent. It also takes into account the personal gain to the patient by increased feedback and easier ways to communicate with their attending physician and thereby increasing the quality of their healthcare and service.The construction of a prototype of the system required is also included in the report as a description of construction and functionality of the prototype along with results and estimated outcome..

In light of health scandals and intense debate in the media about the elderly, the authors investigates two Swedish newspaper and their depiction of elder care in Sweden. Using Faircloughs three-dimensional model and critical discourse analysis, it is investigated if there is a more prominent discourse and if so the impact of globalization on this discourse concerning swedish elderly care. A sample of a total of ten articles in the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter is analyzed. The authors found that older people who are granted home help or place of accommodation rarely make their voices heard. Rarely were also relatives of residents given the opportunity to speak.

This thesis is a systematic review of the Swedish healthcare and hospital-library?s authorities on the consumer health information. The goal is to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses that are inherited in two professions (medical and LiS) with two completely different perspectives on mediating information.The method used is a mix between conceptual analysis of the Swedish term ?patient information? and a Critical conceptual analysis, according to Fairclough, of published native theses and international professional journals.Conclusion of the thesis is that although the nursing and medical staff has the necessary medical expertise it does not, in many cases have either the time or skill to completely satisfy a patient or his/her next of kin´s information needs when exposed in a uneasy situation as when in need of treatment or help in any kind.The hospital librarian on the other hand does have the intermediating skills and most often the time to explain complex treatments or medical procedures, but the lack in medical or nursing expertise.In a perfect setting there is an inter-professional cooperation which brings a lot of positive results. The problem today is often to overcome the gap in awareness of one and other that exists in a modern Swedish hospital..
