Institutionens betydelse för människors hälsa : en livsberättelsestudie om äldres uppfattningar om hur det är att bo på äldreboende

Antalet äldre blir idag allt fler och behovet av vård flyttas upp i åldrarna. Det kräver att insatser inom äldrevård och omsorg håller hög kvalité och placerar människan i centrum för att skapa förutsättningar för äldre att leva ett värdigt, meningsfullt liv och känna välbefinnande. Frågan om mat, trygghet, identitet, social interaktion, anpassning och KASAM är faktorer som påverkar äldres tillvaro på äldreboende. Syftet med studien var att få djupare kunskap och förståelse i äldres livsvärld på äldreboende, hur man som boende upplever sin vardag och vilken betydelse äldreboendet som institution har för deras hälsa. Två livsberättelseintervjuer genomfördes under en timme var med två äldre, en man och en kvinna boende på ett äldreboende i Mellansverige.

Konstruktioner av kvinnor med utländsk bakgrund : En intersektionell studie av debatten om äldreomsorg och etnicitet i populärvetenskapliga tidskrifter 1995-2008

This paper aims to examine how the construction of women with foreign background is visible in the Swedish debate on elder care and ethnicity. The subject is interesting with regard to the existing discriminating conceptions about ethnicity and how the living conditions of immigrant women are med scarce in the Swedish research field. It is also a relevant topic in light of the incipient crisis of the Swedish Eldery care. The examining of how several axes of power interplay to construct the women is rendered possible through an intersectional perspective. This requires of the study to relate to the concept of category, and in this paper I have chosen an intercategorical approach.

Hur påverkas utbildade vårdhundar (Canis lupus familiaris) av sitt arbete inom humanvården?

Today therapy dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) service people more than ever and different categories of work places use therapy dogs to help their caretakers. Many studies have been made on the positive effects in patients when they are given contact with a dog, but very little have been done on how the dog experience its situation and what kind of behaviour a therapy dog shows during its working days. This work was made to investigate the behaviours that educated therapy dogs in Sweden showed when they were in contact with a caretaker and to find out if the dogs showed any signs of stress or some other kind of discomfort. To do this a survey was sent out to 17 educated therapy dog handlers in Sweden that together had 18 educated therapy dogs. The survey contained 39 questions about the daily work of the therapy dogs when they were together with caretakers and some questions about the therapy dogs spare time. A question about what kind of dog breed the therapy dog handlers had were also in the survey to investigate if some breeds were more usual as therapy dogs.
