The aim of this study is to increase understanding about addiction recovery. More specifically, we want to know what people who have had problems with alcohol and/or other drugs perceive as helpful and important for their recovery process and how we can understand this process.The study was conducted by means of qualitative semi-structured interviews with four people who have had alcohol and/or other drug problems. The analysis is based on a transtheoretical model of change from addictive behaviours, coping, interactionist theories and also a recovery perspective, inspired by research on recovery from mental illness . Main findings are that recovery from addiction can be understood as an individual process that takes place in a social context and can follow expected phases, although there are large individual differences in the process. Through the recovery process it has been of importance to the participants in the study to redefine themselves and their problems, get support from others, find ways to cope with their problems, get involved in meaningful activities and to expand their social roles.

Preoperativ oro ?r vanligt f?rekommande hos patienter och leder till lidande. Det ?r n?got som ger l?ngre v?rdtider, s?mre ?terh?mtning och kr?ver mer av sjukv?rdens resurser. Preoperativ oro p?verkar ocks? m?ngden anestesi som beh?vs och m?ngden sm?rta patienter upplever efter operation.

Bakgrund: S?mn ?r n?dv?ndigt f?r ?verlevnaden och ?r en avg?rande faktor f?r att uppn? god h?lsa. Patienter som v?rdas p? sjukhus har en ?kad risk att drabbas av s?mnsv?righeter samtidigt som behovet av s?mn ?r st?rre eftersom det ?r energikr?vande f?r kroppen att vara sjuk. Natts?mnen under den postoperativa ?terh?mtningen ?r viktig f?r att patienten ska ?terf? kontrollen ?ver sina grundl?ggande funktioner och sjuksk?terskan har d?rmed en viktig roll i fr?mjandet av patientens natts?mn. Syfte: Syftet var att unders?ka patienters upplevelse av natts?mn efter kirurgiskt ingrepp p? en kirurgavdelning. Metod: Kvalitativ intervjustudie med induktiv design.

Svenskar byter jobb allt oftare och denna r?rlighet p? arbetsmarknaden ?r kostsam f?r arbetsgivarna. D? det har visat sig att frivillig personaloms?ttning i m?nga fall skulle kunnat kunnat motverkas av arbetsgivaren ?r det relevant att utforska hur organisationer kan arbeta med bibeh?llandet av personal. Ett samlingsbegrepp f?r ?tg?rder som syftar till att fr?mja bibeh?llandet av personal ?r employee retention.
