Bakgrund: Minst 450 miljoner människor lider av psykisk sjukdom världen över. Psykiskt sjuka patienter löper större risk att få somatiska sjukdomar än den generella populationen. Patienter med psykisk sjukdom som behandlas på somatiska avdelningar tycks få sämre vård än övriga patienter. Fördomsfulla attityder kan leda till ett diskriminerande beteende mot patienter med psykisk problematik.Metod:

Ätstörningar är ett utbrett och omfattande fenomen. Ätstörningsbeteenden i kombination med diabetes typ 1 kan resultera i allvarliga mikrovaskulära komplikationer. Att underdosera sitt insulin har för en del av denna patientgrupp blivit ett ytterligare sätt för att gå ned i vikt. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa ätstörningsproblematiken hos individer med diabetes typ 1 och klargöra vilk

Tvångsmedicinering utförs då patienten vårdas enligt Lagen om Psykiatrisk Tvångsvård och därmed själv inte kan inse sitt behov av vård. Tidigare studier har visat att det är denna åtgärd som dels är vanligast, dels är den som patienter upplever som en av de svåraste att utsättas för. Syftet med studien var att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser av tvångsmedicinering. Genom en kvalitativ ansats och

En kvalitativ intervjustudie har gjorts och analyserats enligt Burnards innehållsanalys. Tolv mammor intervjuades med hjälp av en intervjugu
