Big Data Models and Artificial Intelligence in COVID-19 : A Systematic Literature Review / Big data-modeller och artificiell intelligens i COVID-19 : En systematisk litteraturöversikt

Dabor, Abdalrhman January 2021 (has links)
The study aims to identify the role of artificial intelligence and big data that can help us to confront the COVID-19. The study adopted the literature review methodology by reading and analyzing academic studies. This study was divided into two parts: a theoretical part that deals with the basic concepts of artificial intelligence and big data, and an analytical section that deals with reviewing and analyzing artificial intelligence and big data applications to confront COVID-19, including Contact Tracing Apps, then find the weaknesses and develop a recommendation list. The paper concludes that artificial intelligence and big data applications and apps could help to confrontCOVID-19 to some extent. However, artificial intelligence and big data are in the first steps. Moreover, they have not yet had a significant impact on controlling the COVID-19 since some issues and challenges hamper the use of these technologies like accuracy and public trust, etc. Hard work from governments is required in order to overcome these challenges in the first place. It is doubtful that these challenges will be addressed during the COVID-19. However, it is a great learning experience and an opportunity to develop our technologies to overcome future pandemics.

Sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda patienter med covid-19 : – En litteraturstudie / Nurses’ experiences of caring for patients diagnosed with covid-1 : 9 – a literature study

Elvbo, Danielle, Sahlgren, Sophie January 2022 (has links)
Bakgrund: I början av år 2020 konstaterades det att en ny pandemi drabbat världen. Sjuksköterskor har arbetat i frontlinjen av covid-19 pandemin och var den mest utsatta yrkeskategorin.   Syfte: Litteraturstudiens syfte var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda patienter med covid-19. Metod: Elva kvalitativa studier utgjorde basen i litteraturstudien. Databassökningen genomfördes i CINAHL, PubMed och Scopus. Analysprocessen genomfördes med hjälp av Fribergs femstegsmodell.  Resultat: Analysen resulterade i 3 teman och 11 subteman. Teman var: ‘En utmanande arbetsmiljö’, ‘Betydelse av stöd’ och ‘Påverkan på omvårdnad’. Konklusion: Litteraturstudiens resultat visade att sjuksköterskor hade flera olika erfarenheter av att vårda patienter med covid-19. Erfarenheterna var både positiva och negativa. Sjuksköterskors hälsa bör prioriteras, minskad arbetsbelastning och adekvat mängd skyddsutrustning bör finnas tillgänglig. Stödet från arbetsgivaren behöver stärkas. Det behövs vidare forskning kring sätt att minska arbetsbelastningen, för att ha möjlighet att arbeta personcentrerat. / Background: At the beginning of the year 2020, it was certain that a new pandemic had hit the world. Nurses have been working on the frontline of the covid-19 pandemic and were the most vulnerable occupational category.  Aim: The purpose of this literature study was to describe nurses’ experiences of caring for patients diagnosed with covid-19.   Methods: The literature study was based on eleven qualitative studies. The database search was conducted in CINAHL, PubMed and Scopus. The Fribergs Five- Step model was utilized in the analysis process. Results: The analysis resulted in three themes and eleven subthemes. The themes were: ‘A challenging work environment’, ‘Importance of support’ and ‘Impact of nursing’. Conclusion: The results of the literature study showed that nurses had different experiences of caring for patients with covid-19. These experiences were both positive and negative. Nurses' health should be prioritized, workload should be reduced and adequate amount of protective equipment should be available. The support from the employer needs to be strengthened. Further research on ways to reduce the workload is needed; to be able to provide person-centered care.

Inställd eller framflyttad elektiv operation under covid-19: Patienters erfarenhet : En integrativ litteraturöversikt / Canceled or postponed elective operation during covid-19: Patients' experience : An integrative literature review

Kristiansson, Rebecca, Perdahl, Amanda January 2023 (has links)
Bakgrund: Den kraftiga omorganiseringen som skedde inom hälso- och sjukvården på grund av covid-19 orsakade bland annat att operationspersonal förflyttades till andra avdelningar. Patienter som väntade på att genomgå elektiv operation drabbades då dessa ställdes in eller flyttades fram. Någon sammanställning av dessa patienters erfarenheter identifierades inte varpå en vetenskaplig kunskapslucka existerade. Syfte: Beskriva patienters erfarenheter av att få sin elektiva operation inställd eller framflyttad på grund av covid-19 pandemin. Metod: En integrativ litteraturöversikt med engelsk vetenskaplig litteratur som eftersöktes i databaserna PubMed, Scopus och CINAHL. Datan analyserades enligt en integrativ analysprocess som bestod av fyra steg. 13 artiklar inkluderades. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i tre huvudteman “Komplicerad tid där livet påverkas och influeras av acceptans”, “Informationen från sjukvården påverkar erfarenheten” och “Förvärrade symtom och oro för långsiktiga konsekvenser” med totalt nio underteman. Slutsats: Erfarenheterna som framkom påverkades av mängden adekvat kommunikation och information från hälso- och sjukvården samt om denna var direkt eller indirekt. Patienternas bakomliggande sjukdom eller tillstånd var även avgörande för erfarenheterna. Bibehållen kontakt med patienter under förseningen var primärt då föreliggande studie visade att detta kunde minska oro och förbättra erfarenheten. / Background: The major reorganization that took place in healthcare due to covid-19 caused, among other things, the transfer of operating personnel to other departments. Patients waiting to undergo elective operation were affected when these were canceled or postponed. No compilation of these patients’ experiences was identified, therefore a scientific knowledge gap existed. Aim: Describe patients experiences of having their elective operation canceled or postponed due to the covid-19 pandemic. Method: An integrative literature review with English science literature were searched for in PubMed, Scopus and CINAHL databases. The data was analyzed according to an integrative analysis process consisted of four steps. 13 articles were included. Result: The analysis resulted in three main themes: “Complicated time where life is affected and influenced by acceptance”, “Information from healthcare affects the experience” and “Deteriorated symptoms and concern for long-term consequences” with a total of nine sub-themes. Conclusion: The experiences that emerged were influenced by the amount of adequate communication and information from healthcare and whether this was direct or indirect. The patients’ underlying illness or condition was also decisive for the experiences. Maintaining contact with the patients during the delay was primary as the present study showed that this could reduce anxiety and improve the experience.

The Role of Healthcare Chaplains During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Zemina, Luzviminda January 2022 (has links)
This Applied Research Project (ARP) utilized qualitative research, specifically hermeneutic phenomenology, to investigate the vital roles of chaplains in healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chaplains played a significant role in providing spiritual care to patients, their families, and staff during the pandemic. Since there were limited studies about the role of chaplains during the pandemic, this research project adds to the knowledge and resources of what is known about the role of chaplains amid the pandemic. In this qualitative study, I convened and interviewed five Board Certified Chaplains (BCC) to identify their role during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. This research shows the different roles of chaplains, the interventions they used, the challenges they experienced, and the changes in their roles because of the pandemic. The result of this study tells us that the chaplain's role did not change; chaplains continue to provide spiritual care. What changed was the implementation of the care they provided and the shifting of their priorities.

Sjuksköterskans perspektiv av covid-19 pandemins påverkan på patientsäkerheten / Nurses' perspectives on the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on patient safety

Enered, Michaela, Malm, Jenny January 2023 (has links)
Bakgrund: SARS-CoV-2 är ett nytt virus som framkallar infektionssjukdomen covid-19. Covid-19 är en luftvägsinfektion med risk för ett allvarligt sjukdomsförlopp som kräver omfattande och komplex omvårdnad. SARS-CoV-2 utlöste 2019 en pandemi som utmanade vården och påverkade patientsäkerheten. Patientsäkerheten är en grundpelare i sjuksköterskans omvårdnadsarbete. Bristande patientsäkerhet ökar risken för vårdskador och vårdlidande. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa hur covid-19 pandemin påverkade patientsäkerheten inom sluten vård sett ur ett sjuksköterskeperspektiv. Metod: En allmän strukturerad litteraturstudie baserat på fem kvalitativa artiklar, tre artiklar med mixad metod och en kvantitativ artikel. Resultatartiklarna analyserades enligt Popenoe et al. (2021) modell. Resultat: Sjuksköterskorna upplevde covid-19 pandemirelaterade förändringar som påverkade sjuksköterskornas arbetsmiljö och arbetssätt, vilket kunde äventyra patientsäkerheten. Förändringarna som framkom var roterande personal, ökad arbetsbelastning, resursbrist, utebliven omvårdnad, felaktig läkemedelshantering, användning av skyddsutrustning mot covid-19 och bristande kommunikation. Konklusion: Litteraturstudiens resultat visar att covid-19 pandemin innebar utmaningar i sjuksköterskans arbetsmiljö och arbetssätt som äventyrade patientsäkerheten. Sjuksköterskorna axlade det nya vårdandet med en plikt- och ansvarskänslan för sin profession, vilket bidrog till att patientsäkerheten till stor del kunde hållas intakt med ett fåtal brister. / Background: SARS-CoV-2 is a new virus that causes the infectious disease covid-19. Covid-19 is a respiratory infection with the risk of a severe disease course that requires extensive and complex care. In 2019, SARS-CoV-2 triggered a pandemic that challenged healthcare and affected patient safety. Patient safety is a cornerstone of nursing care. Inadequate patient safety increases the risk of health care injuries and suffering. Purpose: The purpose was to illustrate how the covid-19 pandemic affected patient safety in inpatient care from a nurse's perspective. Method: A general structured literature study based on five qualitative articles, three mixed method articles and one quantitative article. The articles were analyzed according to Popenoe et al. (2021) model. Results: The nurses experienced covid-19 pandemic-related changes that affected the nurses' work environment and practices, which could jeopardize patient safety. The changes that emerged were rotating staff, increased workload, lack of resources, lack of nursing care, incorrect medication management, use of protective equipment against covid-19, and lack of communication. Conclusion: The results of the literature study show that the covid-19 pandemic posed challenges in the nurses' work environment and working methods that jeopardized patient safety. The nurses shouldered the new care with a sense of duty and responsibility for their profession, which contributed to the fact that patient safety could largely be kept intact with a few shortcomings.

Organisatoriskt engagemang genom en skärm : En fallstudie om hur medarbetares upplevelser av organisatoriskt engagemang har påverkats av distansarbete i samband med covid-19-pandemin / Organisational commitment through a screen : A case study on how coworkers’ experiences of organisational commitment has been affected by teleworking during the COVID-19 pandemic

Larsson, Fanny, Nacksten, Sofia January 2022 (has links)
Bakgrund: Organisatoriskt engagemang är ett begrepp som på senaste tiden har fått större plats i både forskning och i praktiken. I samband med covid-19-pandemin och upprättade restriktioner införde många organisationer distansarbete i någon utsträckning. Tidigare forskning om distansarbetets påverkan på medarbetarnas organisatoriska engagemang är tvetydig och har till stor del utförts med premissen att arbetssättet varit en valmöjlighet. Vid distansarbete i samband med covid-19-pandemin uppstår därmed en ny kontext för organisatoriskt engagemang. Det finns därmed anledning att undersöka hur medarbetare upplever att distansarbete i samband med covid-19-pandemin har påverkat deras upplevelser av organisatoriskt engagemang. Syfte: Studien syftar till att ge ökad förståelse för vad distansarbete innebär för organisatoriskt engagemang ur ett medarbetarperspektiv i samband med covid-19-pandemin på arbetsplatser där medarbetares förutsättningar för att interagera fysiskt med kollegor har förändrats under covid-19-pandemin. Metod: Denna studie utgår från en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi och ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv. Studien antar en fallstudiedesign samt abduktiv ansats. Det empiriska materialet är insamlat via semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex medarbetare från ett fallföretag. Slutsats: I studien framkommer det att medarbetarna upplever att flertalet aspekter har spelat in i hur deras organisatoriska engagemang har påverkats av distansarbete i samband med pandemin. Relationer är den aspekt som är mest framträdande i medarbetarnas utsagor, men även delaktighet, organisationskultur och organisationsstruktur har påverkat medarbetarnas organisatoriska engagemang. Medarbetarna upplever även att möjligheten till att arbeta på distans har en påverkan på deras organisatoriska engagemang och att denna påverkan har influerats av distansarbete i samband med pandemin. Aspekterna påverkar inte bara medarbetarnas organisatoriska engagemang enskilt utan är även i samspel med varandra. Ytterligare framgår det att interaktioner utgör en central del i samspelet mellan aspekterna. Studiens resultat visar på att helt ersätta fysiska interaktioner med digitala interaktioner har en negativ påverkan på medarbetarnas upplevelser av organisatoriskt engagemang vid distansarbete i samband med covid-19-pandemin. / Background: Organisational commitment is a concept that has gained popularity in both research and practice. During the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions that followed many organisations applied teleworking to some extent. Previous research on the effects of teleworking on coworkers’ organisational commitment is ambiguous and has mainly been conducted with the condition that teleworking was optional. Teleworking during the pandemic created a new context for organisational commitment. Accordingly, there is reason to study how coworkers experience of teleworking during the COVID-19 pandemic has affected their experiences of organisational commitment. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to gain new insight on what teleworking has meant for organisational commitment from a coworker perspective in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in workplaces where the conditions for the coworkers to interact with their colleagues physically has changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: The study draws on a qualitative research strategy and a phenomenological perspective. The study is a case study and has an abductive approach. The empirical evidence was obtained through semi-structured interviews with six coworkers from one case company. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that a multitude of aspects have affected the coworkers’ experiences of their organisational commitment in the context of telework during the COVID-19 pandemic. Relationships is the most prominent aspect in the coworkers’ statements, but participation, organisational culture and organisational structure have also affected the coworkers’ experiences of organisational commitment. The coworkers also experience that the opportunity to telework has an effect on their organisational commitment and that this effect has been influenced by teleworking during the pandemic. The aspects do not only affect the coworkers’ organisational commitment separately but are also interactive. The study found that the aspects mostly interact through the interactions between coworkers. Furthermore the study illustrates that entirely replacing physical interactions with digital interactions has a negative effect on the coworkers’ experiences of organisational commitment in the context of telework during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nej till Covid-19 vaccin : En kvalitativ studie om bakomliggande motiv till att avstå covid-19 vaccination / No to Covid-19 vaccin : A qualitative study of the underlying motives for refraining from Covid-19 vaccination

Daffour, Derrick, Saad, Hebba January 2022 (has links)
The pandemic hit the world at the end of 2019. Governments in various countries had introduced restrictions and recommendations. One of the recommendations that most countries had in common was to urge their people to get vaccinated against Covid-19. Based on the theories of Micheal Foucault, Ulrich Beck and Mary Douglas, we want to undertake the underlying motives of a minority to refrain from the Covid-19 vaccination.Through a hermeneutic methodological approach, we have chosen to use a qualitative approach to create an understanding of the respondents' answers.The results of the study give us a clearer picture of why a minority chooses not to take the vaccine against Covid 19. Their motives have helped us to understand how thoughts can go when the vaccination offered against covid-19 is only an offer but that you are still stigmatized. In summary, it can be concluded that the individuals who participated in the study saw risks associated with different phenomena, depending on the circumstances and occasions when they chose to see risks to their own or others' health. / Pandemin drabbade stora delar av världen i slutet av 2019. Regeringar i både drabbade och icke drabbade länder inför restriktioner och rekommendationer. En av rekommendationerna som de flesta länder hade gemensamt var att uppmana sin befolkning att vaccinera sig mot Covid-19. Med stöd av Michel Foucault, Ulrich Beck och Mary Douglas teorier vill vi förstå de bakomliggande motiv som en minoritet har till att avstå Covid-19 vaccinationen. Genom en hermeneutiskt metodansats har vi valt att använda oss av en kvalitativ tillvägagångssätt för att skapa en förståelse till respondenternas svar. Studiens resultat ger oss en klarare bild till varför en minoritet väljer att inte ta vaccinet mot Covid 19. Deras motiv har hjälpt oss att förstå hur tankarna kan gå när vaccinationen som erbjuds mot covid-19 endast är ett erbjudande men att man ändå blir stigmatiserad. Sammanfattningsvis kan man dra slutsatsen att de individer som deltog i studien såg risker förknippade med olika fenomen, beroende på de omständigheter och tillfällen då de valde att se risker för sin egen eller andras hälsa.

Sjuksköterskors självskattning av ångest och depression under covid-19 pandemin : En kvantitativ litteraturstudie / Nurses' self-assessment of anxiety and depression during the covid-19 pandemic : A quantitative literature review

Lindgren, Lisa, Jonsson, Emilia January 2022 (has links)
Bakgrund: Covid-19 har påverkat stora delar av samhället varvid hälso- och sjukvården har fått en ökad belastning. En hög arbetsbelastning kan påverka den psykiska hälsan hos sjuksköterskor. Covid-19 pandemin har tydliggjort behovet av att uppmärksamma sjuksköterskors psykiska hälsa under en kris. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka prevalensen och associerade riskfaktorer för sjuksköterskors ångest och depression under covid-19 pandemin.  Metod: En litteraturstudie gjordes med nio kvantitativa empiriska artiklar. Två databaser användes vid artikelsökning, CINAHL och Pubmed. Artiklarna kvalitetsgranskades, analyserades och sammanställdes till ett resultat.  Resultat: Prevalensen för ångest och depression var 25,04% respektive 31,98%. Riskfaktorerna för ångest och depression som identifierades var främst covid-19 relaterade faktorer, även sociodemografiska, arbetsrelaterade, sociala interaktioner samt somatiska och emotionella faktorer påvisades.  Konklusion: Ångest och depression har förekommit under covid-19 pandemin bland sjuksköterskor, det påvisades även att ett flertal riskfaktorer som påverkade både ångest och depression. En longitudinell studie är önskvärd för att se pandemins påverkan på hälsan över tid och även kvalitativa studier för att få en mer detaljerad undersökning av sjuksköterskors hälsa. / Background: Covid-19 has affected large parts of the society, whereby health care has been placed under an increased burden. A high workload can affect the mental health of nurses. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to draw attention to nurses' mental health during a crisis. Aim: The aim of the study was to examine the prevalence and associated risk factors for nurses' anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A literature study was done with nine quantitative empirical articles. Two databases were used in article search, CINAHL and Pubmed. The articles were quality reviewed, analyzed and compiled into a result. Results: The prevalence of anxiety and depression was 25.04% and 31.98%, respectively. The risk factors for anxiety and depression identified were mainly COVID-19 related factors, including socio-demographic, work-related, social interactions and somatic and emotional factors. Conclusion: Anxiety and depression have occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic among nurses, it was also shown that a number of risk factors affected both anxiety and depression. A longitudinal study is desirable to see the impact of the pandemic on health over time and also qualitative studies to get a more detailed examination of nurses' health.

Förändring av turismpraktiker efter COVID-19 : en praktikteoretisk studie om resande / Change in tourism practices after COVID-19 : a practical theoretical study of traveling

Persson, Linnéa, Nydelius, Alice, Klingler, Sara January 2022 (has links)
Coronapandemin har haft en påverkan på både samhället och olika branscher, framförallt turismbranschen då resemöjligheterna begränsades. När restriktioner infördes, begränsades människors vardagliga aktiviteter, vilket bidrog till en förändring där nya rutiner skapades. Följande uppsats har som syfte att undersöka hur praktiken turistresande har påverkats av COVID-19. Genom att analysera individers resande innan, under och efter pandemin, kan skillnader urskiljas i det faktiska beteendet. Studien behandlar turistresande utifrån praktikteorin, samt begreppet förändring. Med hjälp av en kvalitativ metod genomfördes nio semistrukturerade intervjuer med personer boende i Sverige. Respondenterna bestod av fem män och fyra kvinnor mellan åldrarna 21-29. Alla deltagare hade någon gång rest inhemskt och internationellt innan pandemin. Studiens resultat förklarar och analyserar hur resepraktiker har utförts innan, under och efter pandemin. De slutsatser som kan dras är att en viss förändring kopplat till resepraktiker i samband med COVID-19 kan identifieras bland studiens respondenter. Individerna har utvecklat en större attraktionskraft till resetyper såsom naturresor samt roadtripresor i Sverige, därav har turismbegreppet utvidgats då hemlandet numera uppfattas som en turistdestination. Samtidigt har internationella resor varit begränsade under pandemin, men är återigen av intresse för deltagarna i den här studien. Vidare kan det konstateras att tidigare forsknings slutsatser kring ett ökat resande samt en travel boom, stämmer överens med studiens respondenters önskan om att återigen resa internationellt då det anses vara meningsskapande. Det har även varit ett begränsat användande av flyg som transportmedel under COVID-19, vilket är något respondenterna åter kommer använda under kommande resor då den infrastrukturella aspekten återigen är möjlig och genomförbar. / The corona pandemic has had an impact on both society and various industries, especially the tourism industry when travel opportunities were regulated. When restrictions were imposed, people's everyday activities were limited, which contributed to a change in which new routines were created. The following essay aims to examine how the practice of tourist travel has been affected by COVID-19. By analyzing individuals' travel before, during, and after the pandemic, differences can be discerned in actual behavior. The study deals with tourist travel based on practice theory, as well as the concept of change. Using a qualitative method, nine semi-structured interviews were conducted with people living in Sweden. Respondents consisted of five men and four women between the ages of 21-29. All participants had at some point traveled domestically and internationally before the pandemic. The results of the study explain and analyze how travel practices have been performed before, during and after the pandemic. The conclusions that can be drawn are that some change linked to travel practices associated with COVID-19 can be identified among the study's respondents. The individuals have developed a greater attractiveness to travel types such as nature trips and roadtrips in Sweden, hence, the concept of tourism has been expanded since the homeland is also perceived as a tourist destination. At the same time, international travel has been limited during the pandemic, but is again of interest to the participants in this study. Therefore, it can be concluded that previous research conclusions about increased travel and a travel boom, are consistent with the study's respondents' desire to once again travel internationally as this is considered meaningful. There has also been a limited use of air travel as a means of transport during COVID-19, which is something respondents will return to using during future trips as the infrastructural aspect is again possible and feasible. This study is written in Swedish.

Hur har digitaliseringen påverkat redovisningskonsulters arbete under covid-19-pandemin? / How has digitalization affected accounting consultants work during Covid-19?

chammas, patrik, Bahrami, Sina January 2022 (has links)
The work of accounting consultants has and will continue to evolve in connection withdigitalization. Sweden, alongside other countries, initiated a lockdown to minimizeCovid-19’s spread of infection. Despite having to work from home, accountingconsultants were able to perform their jobs without hindrance because of theprofession’s digitalization opportunities. The purpose of this study is to investigatehow digitalization has affected accounting consultant’s work during and after thepandemic, a qualitative research method in the form of interviews will be used toachieve the study’s purpose. The empirical material is based on twelve semi-structuredinterviews with accounting consultants in Stockholm city. A structured process of opencoding was adopted for the thematic analysis.The study’s results show that accounting consultants who were affected by thepandemic, tend to have a positive attitude towards the digitalization of their work.There are however some disadvantages such as the loss of socialization and the threatof possible technical difficulties. The conclusions drawn from the study’s results arethat the benefits of digitalization in this field of work outweigh the disadvantages, andthat an accounting consultant’s work will in the future consist more of economiccounseling as opposed to performing accounting services.
