Långvarig smärta är ett växande hälsoproblem med en komplex symptombild. Precis och igenkännande information är en förutsättning för att komma vidare i den egna hanteringen av långvarig smärta. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om en information om smärta med fokus på egenhantering på en CD-skiva kan påverka self-efficacy och coping hos personer med långvarig smärta. Deltagare i studien (N=22) uppfyllde de uppsatta kriterierna för deltagande och lottades in slumpmässigt i interventions respektive kontrollgrupp. Studien pågick under en månads tid med självskattning med hjälp av instrument och enkäter vid studiestart, i samband med intervention och vid avslut.

Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att beskriva arbetsterapeutiska interventioner som görs för barn med inlärningssvårigheter samt dess effekt. Författarna valde att göra en litteraturöversikt över kvantitativa artiklar för att effekten av interventioner skulle vara bedömda och beskrivna. Litteratursökningen genomfördes i fem databaser genom Luleå tekniska universitetsbibliotek och ledde till elva valda artiklar. Författarna använde ett raster vid analys av interventionerna som utgick från Fishers (2009) praxismodeller. Resultat av litteraturöversikten visade att kompensation, aktivitetsträning och förbättring av kroppsfunktioner eller personliga faktorer var strategier som arbetsterapeuten använder sig av vid planering och genomförande av interventioner.
