Full textThe background of our paper is that feedback is needed as a tool on during work to make the individuals feel comfortable. This is basically related to our need of feeling accepted and to feel affinity. Research has demonstrated that the confirmation from the outside world is an important part of the individual's selfimage. In a project based environment, feedback is important, as project groups often consist of new constellations of people who quickly must learn to work together. If feed-back could be used successfully, this can have positive effects on work perfor-mance. The problem of providing feedback is how to give it in a constructive way so the receiver to take in the information and accept it. By examining past research, we examined why there is a need for feedback in project teams, what the research says that the giver should consider when it comes to feedback, and what consequences and results of feedback could be. Our purpose is, based on existing research, to examine how feedback is used in practice for five project managers. We asked ourselves following questions: Do project managers provide feedback? In what ways? How do they work with feedback? Do they know how the theory looks about the topic? How do they work to become better at giving feedback? To examine the issues, we used a qualitative approach in the form of semi-structured interviews. The interview subjects were all working in the same indus-try, the real estate industry. Our interview data were processed by transcribing and coding by predetermined themes. In our analysis we compared the theoretical background of the empirical data we collected. A matrix with a compilation of the collected data is presented in appendix 2. Our conclusion is that project managers mostly work with positive feedback and that giving negative feedback is perceived problematic. We also discovered that the project managers lacked a theo-retical knowledge about the subject and that the skills they possessed, had they learned through experience.

Full textBackground 63.5 million people in the world are living with alcohol use disorder, which results in risks for the occurrence of somatic diseases such as cancer, liver cirrhosis and cardiac diseases. Alcohol use disorder is a social issue because it increases social costs and the need of health care. Nurses who daily meet with patients with alcohol use disorder should treat their patients with dignity, respect and use person centered care. Aim The aim of the study is to investigate nurses experience of caring for patients with alcohol use disorder in somatic and primary care. Method Chosen method is literature study with qualitative design. The results were made through a qualitative content analysis of ten scientific articles which were chosen through searches in the data bases Cinahl, PubMed and PsycINFO. Results Four main categories appeared from the literature study; lack of knowledge, response, identification and attitudes. Registered nurses express lack of opportunity to gain knowledge of alcohol use disorder which could lead to an affected response by personal attitudes and preconceptions. Registered nurses experience the identification of and the meeting with patients with alcohol use disorder difficult, which in turn affects the nurse’s possibility to give equal care centered on the person in this patient group. Conclusion The patient group with alcohol use disorder risks the possibility to receive care based on a person-centered nursing perspective. This is mainly based on the nurse’s lack of knowledge, insecurity and personal attitudes. Keywords Alcohol Use Disorder, Experiences, Nurse, Nursing, Qualitative Study.

Full textDetta är en undersökningen om hur rektorer och lärare uppfattar läxor, vilka skäl det finns för att ge läxor och vilka effekter de förväntas ha. Studien undersöker också om skolor har något skrivet i lokala styrdokument om läxor.Fyra lärare och två rektorer intervjuats och en studie av tjugo skolors hemsidor har genomförts.Rektorernas uppfattning är att läxor tar för mycket tid från lärare och att elever behöver sin fritid. Lärare ger läxor i huvudsak för att föräldrar ska få insyn och bli delaktiga i barnens skolarbete och de är överens om att eleverna behöver träna framförallt läsning hemma. Två av skolorna har riktlinjer avseende arbetet med läxor.Läxor kan ha positiva effekter såsom till exempel ökat lärande, men det negativa kan vara att det leder till stora skillnader i barns lärande beroende på hemförhållanden. En annan slutsats är att läxor bör problematiseras och diskuteras för att främja alla barns måluppfyllelse.

Full textBackground: A mother who is suffering from post partum depression has difficulties with the attachment to her child. As a result of this, the child’s cognitive and emotional development can be harmed. It is important to detect these mothers at an early stage, to offer support in order to shorten the time of suffering. Aim: The aim of this study was to illustrate child health care nurses’ experiences of giving support to mothers with postpartum depression. Method: The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis technique with inductive approach. Eight interviews with child health care nurses’ who work with childrens’ health care were performed. Results: Six categories emerged from the analysis; Responsive to the needs of the mother, offer advice and guidance, build awareness of postpartum depression, initiate collaboration around the mother, sense of their own inadequacy, communication problem and 14 subcategories. Conclusion: In order to offer the mother optimal support needs a relationship between the child health care nurse and the mother be created, which is built on trust. Communication is an important tool to build trust, which is essential for the relationship.

Full textIntroduction: Fever is something children, especially during infant years, experience one or a few times each year. A common misconception is that fever is a dangerous condition that requires treatment; however contrary to these misconceptions, fevers have positive effects when it comes to body’s ability to fight infections. The level of knowledge on this subject of district nurses, whose task it is to guide parents with advice concerning fevers and antipyretics, varies. This results in parents getting contradictory and erroneous advice. Aim: The aim of this literature study was to describe parents’ knowledge concerning fever in children, and to illuminate attitudes concerning fever treatment among health care professionals. Method: A literature review of 15 scientific articles where examined in accordance with an integrative study design. The integrative design allows qualitative and quantitative data to be combined and merged into a common whole. Results: There is a lack of knowledge about fevers in children among health care professionals and parents. Fever phobia is a collective term for the lack of knowledge and worrying that can lead to overzealous treatment with antipyretics; based on parents’ own initiative and recommendations from health care professionals. Antipyretics do not prevent febrile seizures, but many children are still medicated for this purpose. This, in turn, leads to increased risk for side effects. Discussion: There’s a need for a deeper knowledge, in both health care professionals and parents, to ascertain that an evidence-based treatment regimen is not replaced by inadequate and home-grown techniques, leading to unnecessary administration of antipyretics and further propagation of fever phobia. Keywords: Antipyretics, Children, Fever, Fever phobia, Knowledge, Literature study

Full textBakgrund: Demenssjukdomar försämrar den kognitiva funktionen, så som minne och tal, vilket förändrar en persons liv för alltid. Att ge personcentrerad vård till dessa personer ämnar behålla deras identitet, värdighet och autonomi. En sådan typ av vård kräver tid, hängivenhet och god kunskap av den behandlande sjuksköterskan. I framtiden förväntas alltfler att insjukna i demenssjukdom och sjuksköterskan kommer därför att behöva möta nya utmaningar. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskans upplevelse av att ge personcentrerad vård till personer med demenssjukdom. Metod: En litteraturstudie där 15 artiklar, publicerade mellan 2009-2016, har blivit lästa och analyserade genom innehållsanalys. Resultat: Sjuksköterskor upplevde en positiv förändring i sin inställning när de gav personcentrerad vård till personer med demenssjukdom. Framförallt då de fick ökad förståelse för deras patienters värdighet och integritet. Utbildning, övning och stöd från ledningen sågs som nyckelfaktorer för att kunna ge aktuell vård. Tiden sågs som ett hinder för personcentrerad vård och ledde ofta till att sjuksköterskorna prioriterade andra rutiner. Två vanliga följder av vårdandet rapporterades vara såväl ökad tillfredsställelse som emotionell utmattning. Konklusion: Eftersom demenssjukdomar ökar och sjuksköterskor finner personcentrerad vård som tidskrävande, finns det en risk att sådan vård fallerar. För att förhindra detta behöver sjuksköterskor gott ledarskap och utbildning.

Full textBackground: Patients with drug- and alcohol abuse risk various complications related to the misuse. Drug- and alcohol abuse leads to a high yearly rate of death and an important social cost. Patients with drug- and alcohol abuse experience that they are treated unfairly in the care. Nurses consider the nursing care of this patient group to be complex. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe nurses’ experiences in the care for patients with drug- and alcohol abuse, both in somatic and psychiatric wards. Method: A literature review including 16 scientific articles, 12 with qualitative method, 4 with quantitative method. Results: The result is presented in different themes: “To be unsure”, “To feel inadequate”, “To feel incompetent”, “To communicate with the patient” and “To work alone vs in a team”. The nurses experienced difficulties in the care. A lack of knowledge was described and also emotions like anxiety and stress. Many relationships were based on distrust. Some of the nurses expressed a will to ameliorate the care for this patient group. Conclusion: The conclusion of this literature review is that nurses can experience deficits in the care of patients with drug- and alcohol abuse. The deficits manifest through insecurity, insufficiency, a sense of incapacity, in the communication with the patient and in the interplay inside the team. Education, knowledge, teamwork and commitment show to be important factors that can affect the quality of the care for this patient group. This implies that there are additional needs to evolve the knowledge and routines concerning this type of care.

Full textCompany acquisitions are commonly used strategies for growth and business development. How the acquiring party manages the process of integrating the acquired operations is critical to the ability to realize desired synergies. Integration process success is in turn dependent on the employees' well-being and perceived workload during the process. The purpose of this study is to explore how hard integration approaches affect employees' perceived well-being and work-load during the course of a company acquisition. The study focuses on determining whether there is any correlation between employees' perceived well-being and their workload, and how these experiences differ between different phases of the integration process. The study is based on theories of integration process elements and the well-being and workload of employees, which are broken down into four respectively three explaining variables: concern, communications, stress, culture clashes and overtime, assigned duties and flow of information. General Electric Company is one of the world's largest companies with long experience of acquisitions, which often takes on the hard integration approaches when acquiring other companies. Material was collected through interviews with staff from the company studied, now known as GE Healthcare. Results show that there exists a small, however not decisive, correlation between employees’ perceived well-being and workload. The employees' experiences vary to a large extent between different phases of the integration process, with the strongest experiences at the early stages.

Full textBackground: 40 million people are in need of palliative care each year worldwide. Palliative care should improve quality of life and relieve suffering. Family caregivers are often important for people with incurable disease, which makes them an important asset in palliative care. Aim: The aim was to describe family caregivers’ experiences of providing palliative care to a family member with cancer. Methods: A literature study based on nine qualitative studies found in two databases: Cinahl and PubMed. Results: Three main categories were defined from the results of the literature study: Putting their own life on pause, Cooperation with healthcare professionals and A valuable last time. Conclusion: Family caregivers need support from healthcare professionals in order not to be left alone with the responsibility for the care of the family member. The distribution 0f responsibility between family caregivers and healthcare professionals also needs to be clarified. The support from healthcare professionals is also needed for family caregivers to feel secure in caring for the family member. Family caregivers also need individually adapted information and communication.

Full textBackground. Hypertension is one of Sweden's most common peoples´ health issues. Mostnurses specialized in primary health care see patients with hypertension on a daily basis and itis their responsibility to promote health to these patients. Lifestyle change has proven to havea good effect on the health of patients with hypertension and the nurses specialized in primaryhealth care can help the patient to take control and trust their own ability to make a lifechange.Aim. The aim of the study is to describe the nurse specialized in primary health careexperiences of working to promote health in patients with hypertension.Method. Qualitative study with descriptive design. Eight nurses specialized in primary healthcare were interviewed and the material was analyzed using qualitative content analysis.Results. Working with health-promoting counseling is an important part of the assignmentof nurses specialized in primary health care. It is a responsible task that requires greatcompetence, knowledge and above all empathy in the conversation with the patient. It can bechallenging to support the patient in finding their own motivation and ability to promote theirhealth without forcing a lifestyle change, not least as the work environment for nursesspecialized in primary health care can be demanding.Conclusion. The health promotion work is described as an important part of the profession.At the same time, it is a competence that is not utilized by the activities as there is often a lackof both resources and time which means that the health-promoting work is neglected. Aslifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension increase at all ages, it is important that thebusiness has routines and guidelines that enable these patients to offer an equal based oncurrent research.

Full textThermistor material can be used to fabricate un-cooled IR detectors their figure of merit is the Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR). Ge dots in Si can act as a thermistor material and they have a theoretical TCR higher than for SiGe layers but they suffer from intermixing of Si into the Ge dots. Ge dots were grown on unstrained or strained Si layers and relaxed or strained SiGe layers at temperatures of 550 and 600°C by reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition (RPCVD). Both single and multilayer structures where grown and characterized. To achieve a strong signal in a thermal detector a uniform shape and size distribution of the dots is desired. In this thesis work, an endeavor has been to grow uniform Ge dots with small standard deviation of their size. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Atomic force microscopy (AFM) have been used to characterize the size and shape distribution of Ge dots. Ge contents measured with Raman spectroscopy are higher at lower growth temperatures. Simulation of TCR for the most uniform sample grown at 600°C give 4.43%/K compared to 3.85%/K for samples grown at 650°C in a previous thesis work.
Strained surfaces increases dot sizes and make dots align in crosshatched pattern resulting in smaller density, this effect increases with increasing strain.
Strain from buried layers of Ge dots in a multilayer structure make dots align vertically. This alignment of Ge dots was very sensitive to the thickness of the Si barrier layer. The diameter of dots increase for each period in a multilayer structure. When dots are capped by a Si layer at the temperature of 600°C intermixing of Si into the Ge dot occurs and the dot height decrease.

Full textBackground: Anorexia nervosa is a disease that often strikes teenager girls. The causes of the disease are not entirely known, but there are redeemed and maintenanced factors. The factors describes as biological, psychological and sociocultural. Aim: The aim of the study was to illuminate the nurses problem in caring of girls that developed anorexia nervosa. Method: The method of this essay is a literature study. The essay is based up on scientific articles. Results: The care of the anorexics is affected by several different factors. The factors are the anorexics, the parents and the nurses. The anorexics describe the illness as a struggle to find out the meaning of the illness. Many of the girls do not feel confirmed, but they has a big need of this. The SAUK- model describes the need of confirmation. The anorexics parents often wanted to help but they felt excluded from the care of their daughters. This made them feel a sense of guilt. The biggest problem in giving a god care is the negative relation between the nurse and the anorexics. The findings in the essay shows that it was difficult to built therapeutic relationships because lack of empathy and engagement from the nurses.

Full textCalprotectin is a protein that makes up 60 % of the granules of neutrophilic granulocytes. In inflammation of the intestine, neutrophilic granulocytes migrate out through the mucosa and follow the feces out of the body. The protein is calcium-binding and acidic and these properties are used in modern extraction kits to measure the amount of calprotectin in feces (F-calprotectin). Thermofisher is a company that has developed a method for analysis of F-calprotectin and it is called EliA Extraction kit 2 which is analyzed by Phadia 250. The purpose of the study was to perform a method comparison between two methods. In the first method, the routine method used in the laboratory will be used to process feces. In the second, the patients who send their feces directly collected in the extraction tubes come for analysis. The purpose is to compare the analysis results to see if they are similar. The study was performed on 26 individuals of which 11 were women and 15 were men. Before analyzing, three controls were analyzed to check the method of analysis of F-calprotectin. A negative check and a positive check as well as a calibration check. During the study, four different within-run precision were performed on four different patients with 25 replicates to calculate the coefficient of variation (CV). The CV of the method varied between 19 – 27 %. After a repair on the instrument was performed, the CV was 8 – 13 %. The results of the methods had a strong correlation (R = 0.9055) and when calculating the results with Mann-Whitney U-test, no significant difference was seen (p = 0.3059). In order to be able to assess whether the new method can be used as an alternative to the routine method, a larger population must be analyzed.

Full textBakgrund Livsstilsrelaterade sjukdomar är idag den största dödsorsaken i Sverige, men stora möjligheter till både primär och sekundär prevention finns. För att åstadkomma detta är förändringar av kostvanor och livsstil centrala delar. Här har dietisten en viktig roll då dessa förändringar visat sig vara mycket svåra att klara av på egen hand. Men hur upplever dietister arbetet med denna patientgrupp? Ibland kan de känna sig otillräckliga i sin yrkesroll, men de upplever ändå sitt arbete som viktigt. Vidare skulle det vara intressant att undersöka vilka andra tankar och känslor som kan uppkomma hos dietister.Syfte Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur dietister upplever och hanterar att arbeta med patienter som ordineras behandling vilken innefattar en livsstilsförändring där kostomläggning ingår som en central del.Metod Fyra kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med dietister som arbetade med livsstilspatienter. Som stöd vid intervjuerna användes en semistrukturerad frågeguide. Intervjuerna spelades in och transkriberades sedan ordagrant. Transkriberat material analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys.Resultat Dietistens arbete med denna patientgrupp upplevdes som väldigt komplext. Det var inte bara dietisternas eget arbetssätt och egenskaper som påverkade upplevelsen av att behandla dessa patienter. Även patientens beteende och hinder samt de behandlingstekniker som behärskades av dietisten hade en betydande roll. Dietisterna upplevde också att det fanns vissa begränsningar som kunde påverka deras förmåga att ge bästa behandling. Motivation hos patienten upplevdes vara av stor betydelse för att lyckas med en livsstilsförändring.Slutsats Dietister upplever att arbetet med patienter som ska genomgå en livsstilsförändring inbegriper mer än att förmedla kunskaper om kost. Motivationsfrämjande insatser betraktas som dietistens viktigaste redskap vid behandling av denna patientgrupp. Ökad kunskap om sådana behandlingsstrategier skulle därför kunna gynna både dietister och patienter.
Background Lifestylerelated diseases are the most common causes of death in Sweden, but there are great options for both primary and secondary prevention. To achieve this, changes in diet and lifestyle are both central elements. Here dietitians play an important role as these changes proved to be very difficult for patients to cope with on their own. How do dietitians experience the work with these patients? Although they may feel inadequate they still feel that their work is important. Furthermore it would be interesting to examine other thoughts and feelings that may arise among dietitians.Objective The objective of this study was to examine how dietitians perceive and manage to work with patients who are prescribed treatment that involves lifestyle changes where changes in diet are central parts.Method Four qualitative interviews were conducted with dietitians working with patients undergoing lifestyle change. A semi structured topic guide was used to broadly shape the interviews. All interviews were digitaly recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were analysed with qualitative content analysis.Result Dietitians experienced work with patients undergoing lifestyle changes as very complex. Not only the dietitian’s own practice and qualities influenced the experience of treating these patients. Patientbehavior and barriers along with different treatment strategies mastered by the dietitian were also important. Dietitians experienced that there were certain limitations that could affect their ability to provide best treatment. The patients motivation was thought of as very important to achieve lifestyle changes.Conclusion This study suggests that dietitians’ work experience with patients undergoing lifestyle change includes more than just thorough knowledge about food. Promoting motivation is an important tool in treatment of these patients. Increased knowledge about different behavior modification strategies could therefore favour both patients and dietitians.

Full textBackground: Previous research highlights that people with underlying mental illness or disorders are stigmatized and discriminated against, both in society and within the health care system. It is therefore important to see nurses perceive and understand how it is to provide care to this population. Objective: The purpose of the study is to explore nurses' experiences and perceptions of providing care to patients with underlying mental illness and or mental disorders while being treated in surgical wards. Method: Eight semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with nurses from four different surgical wards. The interviews were analyzed by qualitative content analysis. Results: The results are reported in three categories; experiences of caring for patients with mental illness, perceptions related to the allocation of responsibilities in care and experiences of knowledge related to mental illness. The nurses in this study expressed both positive and negative experiences and perceptions related to caring for these patients. They are often perceived that people with underlying mental illness was demanding and attributed them there with negative character traits. They also felt that they did not have the knowledge or resources to give these people good care when they are cared for at a surgical wards. Conclusion: Nurses in this study expressed different experiences and perceptions related to providing care to patients with underlying mental health and mental illness in somatic care. The experiences and perceptions were of positive as well as negative character and experiences can be linked with previous research showing that patients may experience discrimination and stigma associated with mental illness and disease. To improve the conditions for equitable and patient-centered care nurses experienced that continuous training in psychiatric nursing is also important for nurses who are active outside specialized psychiatric care.

Full textABSTRACT Key words: pediatric radiography, access to information, radiographer, Convention on the Rights of the Child Background: It is challenging for radiographers to inform pediatric patients based on the guidelines of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), Swedish law since 2020. Purpose: The purpose was to find out what radiographers from two hospitals considered to be important information and conditions for providing it to pediatric patients undergoing x-ray examinations. The aim was also to investigate whether the radiographers carry knowledge of the CRC and its significance regarding child radiographs as well as to compare the perception of radiographers from hospital A and B on what information is of importance. Method: An empirical quantitative survey study was made.The sample included radiographers experienced in performing x-ray examinations of children. In total 35 surveys were analyzed. Results: Information about general radiation safety and why the patient should keep still was considered most important. The main conditions for providing information were considered to be a prepared lab, prepared parents and paying attention to the child. The majority replied that radiology clinics did not offer a child-friendly environment. The radiographers broadly agree that they are aware of the CRC’s guidelines and that these are of great importance in x-ray examinations. No significant difference was shown between the hospitals. Conclusion: Respondents agreed that informing pediatric patients about radiation safety and the importance of being still is most important. Radiology clinics were not considered to have a well-adapted environment. Radiographers’ knowledge of the CRC needs to be constantly updated.

Full textThis study aims to highlight educational elements, as well as the musical and technical training, which, as part of a professional vocal study program, prepares the student for a professional career as a vocalist. This in turn, should help ensure a degree of satisfaction for professional vocalists. The study has its theoretical basis in hermeneutics and social psychology, and has been performed with the qualitative interview method. Four professional vocalists have served as informants. The background section presents both facts and previous studies of the voice used as an instrument, the employment situation of the professional musician, job satisfaction, vocational vocal training, the instructor’s ability to influence the music student, and also the health risks associated with professional musicians. The study’s findings support previous research as several themes are consistent. The results, as opposed to previous research that more broadly describes the musician’s professional situation, is here specifically related to the daily life of a musician. The study also highlights specific suggestions for educational elements applied to professional vocal training in a way that has not been shown in previous research. Examples of vocational objectives, which, according to the study may be suitable for the vocal instructor, are creating confidence in the student in a safe learning environment, creating self-sustaining students, and providing the student with insight and professional experience in the profession.

Full textAtt som barn leva i skuggan av flaskan där ens föräldrar missbrukar alkohol kan leda till svårigheter för barnen. Här kan förskolan vara av stor betydelse för barnen, att någon uppmärksammar dem och ger den stöttning och trygghet de kan behöva. Förskolan har också en skyldighet att kontakta socialförvaltningen när de misstänker att ett barn inte mår bra på grund av sina föräldrars missbruk.
Vårt syfte var att undersöka hur förskolan går tillväga för att hjälpa de barn som lever i alkoholfamiljer med missbruksproblematik och om det förekommer något samarbete mellan förskola och socialförvaltning, samt hur barnen i familjer med missbruksproblematik kan påverkas av sina föräldrars missbruk. För att nå vårt resultat använde vi oss av kvalitativ undersökning med halvstrukturerade frågor. Resultatet av vår undersökning visade att förskolorna inte hade något tydligt utarbetat sätt för att hjälpa barn till alkoholmissbrukare. Vissa förskolor hade mer erfarenhet än andra och hade på så vis lite mer riktlinjer för hur de ville arbeta med de här barnen. När det gällde kontakten med socialförvaltningen rådde det även här olika meningar om hur mycket kontakt förskolorna hade haft, men en sak enade alla pedagoger och det var att man ville ha mer kontinuerlig kontakt med socialförvaltningen.

Full textAbstrakt Syftet med studien är att se hur förskollärare från två olika kommuner arbetar med modersmålsstöd Undersökningsmetoden som användes var en enkätundersökning där 58 förskollärare deltog. Det har visat sig i studier bland annat i USA att familjer med andra ursprungsland förlorar sitt modersmål snabbare i dagsläget än de gjorde förr då familjerna låter det engelska språket dominera i hemmet istället för att använda sig av modersmålet. När barnen kom upp i skolåldern så erbjöds de modersmålsundervisning men ofta så räcker inte modersmålsundervisning till i skolan då eleverna redan har ett grundläggande tal i till exempel engelska (Galeano, 2011). En studie som gjordes i skolorna i England visade att modersmålsundervisningen är bristfällig då eleverna får frågor på respektive modersmål men att de svarar läraren på engelska istället för modersmålet. Detta bidrar till att eleverna tappar förmågan att tala modersmålet men att de fortfarande har kvar förmågan att förstå vad som sägs (Cable, Drury & Robertson, 2014). I följande studie kände många av förskollärarna att de inte hade någon riktig rutin kring arbetet med modersmålsstöd och de saknade bra vägledning till hur arbetet skulle gå tillväga på bästa sätt, de kunde inte själva ta upp frågorna kring modersmålsstöd med föräldrarna utan var tvungna att samtala med förskolechefer eller rektorer innan de kunde besvara föräldrarnas frågor. Samtliga förskollärare visste att det är viktigt med modersmålsstöd då det underlättar för barnen att komma in i verksamheten samt att de lättare lärde sig svenska som andra språk. Många förskollärare tar egna initiativ till att ge barnen stöd i deras modersmål då många förskolor saknar tillgång till modersmålspedagog eller tolk.

Full textAim
Our aim with this study was to examine how outdoor education is designed and experienced in three upper (senior) levels of compulsory school in Stockholm, and to compare it with the Norwegian equivalence.
Method
Our method has been interviews with ten teachers, of whom six are Swedish teachers and four are Norwegian teachers. Two Swedish teachers are teaching in other subjects than Physical Education, four are teachers in Physical Education, two are teachers in Norway in Physical Education at and two are teachers in Norway at university level. Questionnaires were used to examine the Swedish pupils’ attitudes towards outdoor education. 90 questionnaires were delivered, and 70 answered them. 38 answeres were from the school with outdoor education profile and 32 answers were from two other schools. The questionnaires were examined on pupils in 9th grade of three upper (senior) level compulsory schools.
Results
The results of the study showed that outdoor education is not included in Physical Education curriculum in one school, is used very briefly in the second school and used more in the school with a profile of outdoor education. The attitudes towards outdoor education are mixed among the teachers, even though they mention outdoor education as a good tool for different kinds of education, other than sport. The questionnaires showed that outdoor education is pursued and experienced in the same shape as their teachers. There were also a difference in experiencing outdoor eduation between schools with a profile of outdoor education and the school with no profile. Obstacles teachers have mentioned are time, lack of knowledge among teachers and colleagues, economy and resources. From a Norwegian perspective the results show that outdoor education is used more extensively in Physical Education than in Swedish schools. Outdoor education is formed by staying overnight outdoors and with education aimed to support to outdoor education.
Conclusions
Outdoor education is carried out in Physical Education if different prerequisites are fulfilled. These are economy, interests, knowledge, support from the management and headmasters, colleagues interests, cooperation among teachers and the availability of green areas in the
Syfte
Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka hur friluftslivsundervisningen formas och upplevs på tre högstadieskolor i Storstockholm, och jämföra med den norska motsvarigheten.
Metod
Vår metod har varit intervjuer med tio idrottslärare, varav sex är svenska lärare och fyra är norska lärare. Två av de svenska lärarna undervisar i andra ämnen än idrott och hälsa, fyra svenska lärare undervisar endast i idrott och hälsa och av de fyra norska lärarna undervisar två i kroppsövning på ungdomsskolor i Oslo och två undervisar på högskolenivå. En enkätundersökning har också använts för att undersöka svenska elevers attityder till friluftsliv. 90 enkäter delades ut och 70 svarade. 38 svar var från skolan med friluftsprofil och 32 svar var från de två andra skolorna. Undersökningen utfördes på högstadieelever som gick i årskurs 9.
Resultat
Resultatet av undersökningen visar att friluftsliv inte är inkluderat i ämnet Idrott och Hälsa i en av skolorna, är väldigt lite inkluderat i en annan skola samt är mycket inräknat i skolan med friluftsprofil. Attityderna till friluftsliv är blandade bland lärarna, huvuddragen är dock att friluftsliv kan vara ett verktyg för att bedriva andra delar än regelrätt idrottsundervisning. Enkätundersökningen visade att friluftsliv inte bedrivs och upplevs i samma form som deras lärare tycker, samt att det är skillnad i upplevelse mellan skolan med friluftsprofil och skolorna utan frilfutsprofil. Hinder för att bedriva friluftsliv tycks vara tid, brist på kunskap bland lärare och kolleger, ekonomi och resurser. Vår jämförelse av norska skolan visar att friluftsliv har mer utrymme i idrottsämnet där än i den svenska skolan. Friluftsundervisningen i Norge är utformad med övernattningar och moment som inriktar sig direkt mot friluftsliv.
Slutsats
I idrottsämnet undervisar lärarna i friluftsliv om olika förutsättningar är uppfyllda. Dessa är ekonomi, intresse, kunskap, stöd av ledning och rektor, kollegors intresse, samarbete mellan lärare och tillgängligheten till grönområden nära skolan. Vår slutsats är att svenska skolan kan lära av den norska hur högskoleutbildningar inom friluftsliv kan utformas så att en kultur av friluftslivsundervisning skapas vilket kan öka friluftsundervisningen på sikt.

Full textIn recent years, the number of homeless EU migrants has increased substantially in Sweden, and almost half of them lack an income whereas many others live by begging. Nowadays, individuals in addition to decide whether to give money to established charities also have to decide whether to give money to begging EU migrants. Based on the assumption that asymmetric information and institutional factors exists, which can affect each type of willingness to donate to charity, it is interesting to investigate whether there are differences in propensity to give money to begging EU migrants compared to established charities.The purpose of the research study is to examine individual’s propensity to give money to begging EU migrants compared to established charities. Furthermore, the aim is also to identify and analyze various individual characteristics that conceivably affect individuals' donation to each type of charity. To answer the purpose of the research study primary data is collected in Linkoping city by a questionnaire and the material is analyzed with econometric models.The results of the study indicate that individuals generally are less likely to give money to begging EU migrants compared with established charities. Variables that affect individuals' willingness to give money to begging EU migrants are gender, age, descent, knowledge of begging EU migrants living situation and attitude towards banning begging. Compared to this, factors that affect the willingness to donate to established charities are age, education, descent, married and social factors.

Full textThe aim of this qualitative interview study was to elucidate what nurses at ambulance and emergency department thought was important information to give to patients with acute chest pain and what was important to think about when informing them. Ten interviews with nurses was performed, five at the ambulance and five at the emergency department. The result has been divided between the two workplaces. The study showed that there where large similarities in how the nurses responded to the questions asked. The objects that was thought of as important was to give information about what happened and why, it was also important to give information about pharmaceuticals and it´s side effects and with the information that they gave, try to calm the patients down. A large item that came up was that it was important to inform about what the patients asked for. At the ambulance the nurses also thought that it was important to try to keep the information to what was important and relevant to the patient. The nurses at the emergency department thought that it was important to inform as much as possible and keep the patient updated.

Full textSwallowing difficulties occur as a part of the disease process in individuals with advanced dementia. Demands is set on the healthcare-staff to meet with these symptoms when the individual due to loss in cognitive function, lack a complete ability to claim autonomy regarding nutritional treatment. The issue arises regarding enteral feeding by PEG or NG-tube as a viable treatment option for these patients. Even if it is an encroachment and that the care instead should be performed from a palliative point of view. Registered nurses view their knowledge within the area as personal preferences that they cannot refer to in a clinical setting. The aim of this study was to explore the nurse´s ethical awareness regarding enteral nutrition to individuals with advanced dementia. The study was conducted from a qualitative approach with an empirical interview, a literature review and an ethical analysis concerning the nurse’s possible actions’ in the decision making-process. Conclusions of this study consists to a part of that the nurse should act as the patient’s advocate regarding from what’s perceived to be the best for the patient and the patient’s wishes. Also, not supporting the doctor’s decision of tube feeding to these patients’ and to contribute to a dignified death within the palliative domain, with least possible suffering as a result.
