Självbetjäningsterminaler tar över efter traditionella kassor och receptioner på allt fler platser i dagens samhälle. Vare sig du ska handla möbler på IKEA, låna böcker från biblioteket eller besiktiga bilen är sannolikheten stor att du stöter på en terminal. Dess användare anser många gånger att självbetjäningen är snabbare än och effektivare än dess traditionella motsvarighet, medan motståndarna anser att en maskin aldrig kan ersätta den personliga service en människa ger.Den här rapporten försöker dels besvara frågan om en självbetjäningsterminal tillför något positivt för personal respektive patienter på en mammografiklinik, och dels redogör den för de problem patienterna upplevde medan de använde terminalen.De patienter som rör sig på en mammografiklinik är i allmänhet äldre kvinnor med väldigt varierande förutsättningar vad det gäller datorvana. För att få så stort antal testpatienter som möjligt under utvärderingsperioden, stängdes klinikens ordinarie reception ner och samtliga patienter blev istället hänvisade till en av två självbetjäningsterminaler. Totalt användes terminalerna av 425 kvinnor i åldrarna 21 ? 83 år, där medelåldern låg på knappt 54 år.Utvärderingen visar att patienternas största problem i allmänhet var att först och främst hitta terminalen, och därefter att förstå att de skulle trycka på terminalens pekskärm för att interagera med den.

Background:Homeless persons who suffer of mental illness are one group which is marginalized worldwide. Homeless people have a fragmentary contact with healthcare and many of those who have drug abuse problems and mental illness are still undiagnosed. Still, this is not their only issue when various state agencies argue about who will take responsibility for this persons. Aim: To describe the factors that are perceived supportive or restrictive by homeless people with mental illness. Method: The material has been gathered via systematic and unsystematic searches and the study was designed as a literature review.

Investigations concerning adolescent mental health shows a negative development. Many pre-vious studies have focused on young women's mental health. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate young men's (17-19 years) experience of their mental health. Qualitative interviews were used as a method. The participants were six young men who all go to high school in a major municipality in the county of Gävleborg.

Background. With the mental health care reform 1995, the long-term mentally ill patients were meant to be integrated in the society. Instead, they became ?deported? to mental health care. Aim.

Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva upplevelser av att vara döende. Personerna i litteraturstudien levde med en terminal sjukdom, vilket innebar att de hade en sjukdom som saknar botemedel och som kommer att leda till döden. I litteraturstudien analyserades 24 artiklar med en kvalitativ manifest innehållsanalys. Resultatet av analysen gav fyra kategorier: Att vara rädd och känna vanmakt inför förlusterna; Att vilja bestämma över sitt liv och sitt döende; Att kämpa och vilja få mer av livet; Att acceptera döden. Resultatet visade att de döende personerna var rädda för att dö och för smärta.

Background: Mental illness is a growing public health problem which can cause significant disabilities and lead to poor quality of life. As primary care nurses often are the first to encounter these patients they need knowledge to be able to respond appropriately to this group.Aim: The aim was to describe how the sufferer of mental illness experiences the introduction to primary care. Method: The literature review was based on the results of 11 scientific articles which were analyzed with the inspiration of a metasynthesis method.Results: Four categories emerged: the experience of being treated like a human being, the importance of a therapeutic space, the experience of time and availability as well as the importance of competent personnel and the importance of continuity. Patients described different aspects deemed important when encountering nursing staff. Conclusion: Patients experienced that they received good care when they felt listened to and seen as individuals with their own thoughts and feelings.

This study aims to examine how adolescents with diabetes describe and value their experience of participating in a support group and how they describe the issues of being a teenager with diabetes. This is a qualitative study and we have interviewed three young women who have been participating in a support group. The results of the interviews were analyzed through a phenomenological method and then compared to earlier research and interpreted through symbolic interactionism and Erikson's development-theory, which were our theories of choice. Our findings support earlier research when stating that support groups are important and necessary for adolescents with chronic illnesses. Our interviewees stated that they think that one of the most important benefits of support groups is to meet other people in their situation; same age and same chronic illness..

Bakgrund: Företag söker att minimera sina transportkostnader. Ett sätt att uppnå detta är genom att lokalisera sitt lager där transportarbetet minimeras. Uppsatsens fallföretag ProfilGruppen AB har en tredjepartslogistiker, ÅGL Logistik, vars lager har fungerat som ProfilGruppens huvudsakliga lager och omlastningspunkt i över 30 år. Lagret har legat på samma plats under hela denna period och det är därför intressant att undersöka huruvida en lämpligare lokalisering är möjlig eller ej.Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att beräkna lokaliseringen av en terminal enligt tyngdpunktsmetoden. Syftet är även att utifrån denna lokalisering ta hänsyn till andra faktorer för att kunna argumentera för en teoretiskt välgrundad lokalisering samtidigt som hänsyn tas till praktiska omständigheter.Metod: Denna uppsats är en fallstudie på ProfilGruppen AB.

The flexibility of the labour market is considered as an instrument for increasing economic growth.Therefore has the use of flexible employment, also called atypical employment, increased. The atypical employment is characterized by insecurity in comparison with a traditional permanent full- time employment. One of the most common atypical employments is the manning employment, which is insecure whether it is permanent or not. The insecurity in the industry is based on insecure income, unpredictable working hours and poor psychosocial work environment.In order to encourage a continued increase of flexibility in the labour market while the need for security for staffing employees would be satisfied was Directive 2008:104 adopted. A certain amount of security has been achieved.

Northeast Stockholm is a region developing fast. There is already a great need for new transport solutions for the people commuting to the city, since long queues slow down car traffic and the local railway, Roslagsbanan, needs to be upgraded to attract more travelers. The competitive advantage of rail?traffic over the car when it comes to greenhouse gases and air pollutants is another reason to develop Roslagsbanan.This report investigates the differences between car and train to create a basis for a proposed expansion of Roslagsbanan. Once the proposal is presented, costs, emissions reductions and public benefits are analyzed.

Problem area of this Bachelor thesis is the mental illness of internationally adopted at the age of 16-26. Our study focuses on a compilation of previous results from positivistic researches in the first question formulation. In the second and third question formulations a narrative text analysis, through hermeneutically interpret risk and prevention factors, is carried out for the life of internationally adopted that can lead to mental health/illness and how they apprehend to be adoptees. The purpose is to get a comprehensive understanding at individual, group and society's view of their lives. Further intention is to interpret the material for possible approach angles on further research.

Den palliativa vårdens mål är att uppnå en god och fridfull död. En god död har dock visat sig vara en individuell och varierande upplevelse varför patienten själv måste få möjlighet att uttala sig om sin förestående död. Forskning har framhållit att det finns olika uppfattningar om vad en god död innebär, utifrån patientens, närståendes och vårdpersonalens perspektiv. Syftet med litteraturstudien var därför att belysa kunskap om uppfattningar om en god död, för att kunna förbättra omvårdnaden i en palliativ kontext. Föreliggande litteraturstudie baseras på 15 vetenskapliga artiklar.

Nipahvirus is most likely spread from bats to other species and causes lethal encephalitis in humans and respiratory illness in pigs. Different species are affected with varying severity but it seems to have an unprecedented zoonotic capacity and the humans affected either die or receive permanent brain damage. Full recovery is possible but very uncommon. Pigs that live and are bread in the areas that these bats frequent are constantly in danger of contracting pneumonias and meningitis and they can spread the virus further on to the people who work with the pigs and process their carcasses. These workers could then infect other humans in their immediate surroundings, their families for instance.

Background: Prostate cancer is the fourth most common cancer disease in the world and affects mainly older men. While having prostate cancer the treatment can be both medical and surgical and both these treatments can give side effects like erectile dysfunction, lost libido and hot flushes. Sexuality among elderly is often associated with taboo, but sexuality exists among elderly and is important for their wellbeing and quality of life. It is common that nurses don?t address and discuss questions concerning sexuality with patients, even though they know that sexuality often is affected while having a disease or experiencing illness.
