Bakgrund: Palliativ vård innebär den lindrande och stödjande vård som ges till patienter när kurativ vård inte längre är effektiv. Kommunikation mellan sjuksköterska och patient är en av den palliativa vårdens fyra hörnstenar och utgör en betydande del av omvårdnaden kring dessa patienter. Kommunikationen kan involvera svåra besked, emotionella och existentiella frågor samt tragiska sanningar. Syfte: Att undersöka hur blivande och legitimerade sjuksköterskor kan utbildas för kommunikation med patienter som vårdas palliativt. Metod: Litteraturstudie med viss systematik.

Companies that invest in e-learning have different expectations regarding the outcome of the investment. According to literature and articles it is common that companies see reduction of costs as the primary benefit with e-learning. Therefore we ask ourselves the question if companies have attained the expected benefit of the investment in e-learning and to what extent cost reduction have been a determining factor in the investments? The purpose of the thesis is to examine if companies that invest in e-learning have attained the expected benefits. We also want to examine what the reason for investing in e-learning is and if cost reduction is the primary reason for investing.
