Background: The patient meets nurses in the emergency department that provide both nursing and has medical skills. The care that the patients are receiving should be individually adjusted. The care is shaped by the individual meeting with the patient according to the nursing theorist Orlando.

To investigate the routines associated with the change of school and the role of a neuropsychological diagnosis in the process.

The purpose of this study is to better understand patients suffering from psychotic illness along with their family members, and to identify treatment factors that have been helpful for these patients and their families by investigating how their relationships have been affected by treatment. In this way, treatment methods can be put in a theoretical context, treatment efforts can be clearer, and the therapist can develop professionally.The research method used is a semistruktureted interview conducted with tree patients and their families. One conclusion one can draw in the successful treatment with psychotic patients is strongly based on the therapist?s ability to build a safe and secure treatment alliance with both the patient and his family members. Meeting with patients in situations outside of the therapy room have been of great importance for the therapeutic process.Important themes for recovery that come forth during the interviews with the patients are the quality of the therapy session as healing factor.

Föreliggande arbete handlar om ett försök att använda ett varierat arbetssätt i grammatikundervisningen för att främja inlärningen genom att stimulera flera sinnen och stärka den kognitiva utvecklingen i interaktion med andra. Syftet är att undersöka om det är möjligt att använda charader som en pedagogisk metod i fråga om inlärning av grammatik med avseende på satsdelarna subjekt, predikat, objekt, predikatsfyllnad, innehållsadverbial och attribut.Undersökningen grundar sig på sju genomförda lektioner fördelade på en gång per vecka i en niondeklass med dramatisering av satsdelar. Eleverna har skrivit loggbok, en intervju med fyra elever har utförts och därtill har jag gjort observationer. Av olika anledningar anser jag inte att urvalsgruppen går att använda som norm för en genomsnittsklass för årskurs nio.Resultatet av undersökningen visar att charader som metod inte gick att använda under de premisser som gällde för den utvalda klassen. Dessutom visar resultatet att metoden måste kompletteras med läromedel som stöd för eleverna.Slutsatsen är dock att undervisningsmetoden i sig kan fungera då jag tidigare använt den i en annan klass.
