Background The organ donation process is a large and complicated process. The need for organs is great and is expected to increase as the methods in healthcare becomes increasingly advanced. According to previous studies, the organ donation process has shown to be mentally and physically demanding for nurses and relatives. Therefore, it is necessary to find out what emotions the nurses experiences and how these are handled. Aim The aim of the study was to describe the emotions of donation nurses and the handling of these in connection with the organ donation process. Method The study is an empirical descriptive interview study with a qualitative approach. Eight donation-nurses have been interviewed through semi-structured interviews. The interviews have been analyzed through qualitative content analysis, where they have been condensed, coded and categorized. Main result The result showed that the organ donation process was a demanding process that involved increased workload and stress for the nurses. They also experienced difficult emotions, especially when meeting the relatives and talking to them about potential donation, but also when donation was not possible. However, donation was seen as something beautiful and was described as a light in the dark. The nurses used different types of coping strategies to handle the difficult feelings, such as relive and support the nurse in charge and do debriefing and talking to colleagues. Conclusion The organ donation process is complex and induces both difficult and positive feelings for the nurses. Participating relatives, experience, unloading workload, talking with colleagues, and debriefing was important for being able to handle the hard feelings. To understand the emotions nurses encounters during this process and how these are handled is important to improve nurses health and to create the best possible conditions for a successful organ donation process. / Bakgrund Organdonationsprocessen är en stor och komplicerad process. Behovet av organ är stort och förväntas öka i och med att metoderna inom sjukvården blir alltmer avancerade. Organdonationsprocessen har enligt tidigare studier visat sig vara en krävande process för såväl sjuksköterskor som anhöriga, varför det är av vikt att undersöka vilka känslor sjuksköterskorna upplever och hur dessa hanteras. Syfte Syftet med studien var att beskriva donationsansvariga sjuksköterskors känslor och hanteringen av dessa i samband med organdonationsprocessen. Metod Studien är en empirisk beskrivande intervjustudie med kvalitativ ansats. Åtta donationsansvariga sjuksköterskor i Sverige intervjuades genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Data analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Huvudresultat Ur resultaten framkom att organdonationsprocessen är en krävande process som innebär ökad arbetsbelastning och stress. Deltagarna upplevde svåra känslor i mötet och samtalet med anhöriga, samt i de situationer där organdonation inte blivit av. Dock sågs organdonation som något fint och beskrevs som ett ljus i mörkret. Deltagarna använde sig av olika slags copingstrategier för att hantera svåra känslor i samband med organdonationsprocessen, så som att avlasta och stötta den ansvariga sjuksköterskan, debriefing och samtal med kollegor.  Slutsats Donationsprocessen är komplex och framkallar både svåra och positiva känslor hos sjuksköterskorna. Delaktiga anhöriga, erfarenhet, avlastning, samtal och debriefing var viktiga faktorer för att underlätta hanteringen av stress och svåra känslor. Att ha förståelse för vilka känslor sjuksköterskor möter under denna process och hur dessa hanteras är av vikt för att öka sjuksköterskornas hälsa, samt för att skapa så bra förutsättningar som möjligt för en lyckad organdonationsprocess.

In the pursuit of planning for inclusive public space, this thesis addresses feelings of unsafety as a hindering aspect of equal access. The aim of this thesis is to explore the role of embodied knowledge within urban planning for understanding feelings of safety in public space. Due to the complexity of socio-spatial relations, I suggest a feminist approach to knowledge creation. The study is based on semi-structured interviews including a visual elicitation with urban planners in Sweden (n=16). My findings show that planners’ conceptualisations of safety relate to an overall focus on social sustainability and a problematic relationship between safety and crime prevention. While multiple methods are being used to understand feelings of safety, such as site audits and citizen dialogues, embodied methods are not (actively) used. There is therefore a need to recognise our bodies as helpful tools for understanding feelings of safety. Furthermore, who we are affects the way we perceive our surroundings as well as our feelings. Thus, urban planning practitioners need to (continue to) be reflexive about their positionalities, as well as to include experiences and perspectives of peoples’ situated, embodied knowledge to create inclusive public space for all.

The war between Iraq and Iran started 1980 and ended 1988. During the war it came approximately 11 811 Iraqi refugees to Sweden. In this essay. I will explore how Iraqi refugees who came in the 1980s have integrated themselves in the Swedish society. To enhance this understanding, I used previous research material presented in the essay but, most importantly, I also used a qualitative method with organized interviews. The interview material consists of 4 individual interviews for 90 minutes each, and all interviewees are highly educated men in the ages of 62-66 years. I structured the interviews in line with 3 framing questions with the purpose to understand how the interviewees’ first time in Sweden was, especially considering potential difficulties of learn the Swedish language; how the interviewees perceived opportunities and challenges in establishing themselves on the employment market; and finally their thoughts and feelings about their own integration. I have used three different models/theories when analyzing the results. Firstly, I used symbolic interactionism as an explanatory model for interpersonal interaction, communication, subjective interpretation of situation and group affiliation. Secondly, I used the postcolonialism as an explanatory model. Postcolonialism describes a power structure that exists in the society where “white” people are perceived as being the superior race while “black” people are perceived as being the subordinate race, which is a legacy from colonialism. Thirdly, I used folkloristic narrative analysis, which helps to understand how people, with the help of stories from the past, position themselves in reality when the story is meaningful.

This essay focuses on the possibilities and problems that come with having teleportation mixed with horror and fear and not having monsters in fear games. How it is to play a horror game without enemies and just being able as an Interactiondesigner to relay on the psychological feeling within the player, if the feeling is more than enough if the player him self get to fantasies and let their deepest fright feelings take over. Is there no difference if there are monsters/enemies or not. Is fright and fear already there before you encountering the enemies? These questions are answered as the paper also presents a game in the shape of a course that has been paralleled worked with. The world with the complete and finished game have bin done in the Hammer editor which the game HalfLife2 (VU games/Valve Software, 2004) is built on. The finished game is a result of several user tests from the prototype game and user questionnaires. Fear games are mainly built on humans’ psychological feelings, the imaginations and how one feel. Through strong usage and building upon these main factors to create fear I have worked from that perspective and investigated how I by best possible means, should do to create fear to fright players by not using enemies as main frightening objects. Focus has been on the narrative of both visual and auditive narration. I have also given an account of the advantage and disadvantages with working with the tool I have chosen, how it has affected my work and my result. The Result turned out to be even better than I had in mind and a positive attitude towards my game from all the test persons. They thought it was a good example that a horror game is not bound to have monsters in order to fright the player. I got a loot of good feedback, response and ideas of what I could improve and what was already good. Some wanted more light effects on the first part and others less sound in the last part. By listening to the test persons I started to create and shape the final version of the game. Everyone became scared and felt more or less frightened through all four parts of the game. I also got positive feedback on my theory from the test persons, that teleportation mixed with horror and fear is something that they could consider using more in games and that this was a good start in the right direction.

Bakgrund: Cancer är ett samlingsnamn för cirka 200 sjukdomar som uppkommer på grund av okontrollerad celldelning. Var tredje person drabbas av cancer under sin livstid men sjukdomen ses påverka hela familjen på olika sätt. Familjen kan vara ett betydelsefullt stöd för den som är sjuk, men anhöriga kan bli lidande på många sätt på grund av cancerdiagnosen. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa anhörigas erfarenheter av att leva med en familjemedlem som har cancer. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie som bestod av 14 resultatartiklar hämtade från CINAHL och PsycINFO. Resultat: Ur dataanalysen framkom tre teman och dessa var: förändrade roller och relationer i familjen, en känslomässig påverkan och erfarenheter av information och stöd. Kategorierna belyste hur det kan vara att leva med en familjemedlem som har cancer. Känslor som oro, ångest, rädsla och stress framkom samt behov av information sågs som viktigt då det påverkade hur mycket stöd de anhöriga behövde. Anhöriga upplevde en förändrad vardag med nya roller och ökat ansvar. Resultatet visade liknande erfarenheter av familjemedlemmar mellan olika länder. Konklusion: Anhöriga som lever med en familjemedlem som har cancer har ett behov av information och stöd från såväl sjukvårdspersonal som närstående. / Background: Cancer is a collective name o about 200 illnesses that appears because of uncontrolled cell division. Every third person is affected at some point in their lifetime, but the illness can affect the whole family in different ways.

Aim: The aim of the study was to illustrate relatives experiences of living with a family member who has cancer. Method: A general literature study that consisted of fourteen result articles collected from CINAHL and PsycInfo. Results: From the data analysis three themes emerged these where: changed roles and relationships in the family, an emotional impact and experiences of information and support. The categories illustrated how it can be to live with a family member who has cancer. Relatives experienced a changed everyday life with new roles and increased responsibility. The result showed similar experiences of family members between different countries. Conclusion: Relatives living with a family member who has cancer have a need for information and support from healthcare personell as well as relatives.

Bakgrund: Att hantera luftvägen hos en patient i samband med anestesi är en av anestesisjuksköterskans huvuduppgifter. Då en oväntat svår luftväg uppstår så ställs det höga krav kompetensmässigt på anestesisjuksköterskan. Tidigare forskning har i liten utsträckning fokuserat på anestesisjuksköterskans erfarenheter kring denna komplexa situation. Det är därför önskvärt att utföra ytterligare studier inom detta ämne med fokus på erfarenheter. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa anestesisjuksköterskans erfarenheter av den oväntat svåra luftvägen i samband med anestesi. Metod: Studien genomfördes utifrån kvalitativ ansats. Data samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med tio anestesisjuksköterskor anställda på två olika operationsavdelningar i Sverige. Intervjuerna transkriberades och analyserades med innehållsanalys. Resultat: I analysen framkom fyra kategorier som beskriver anestesisjuköterskornas erfarenheter av oväntat svår luftväg i samband med anestesi; upplevelser av att arbeta under press, att samarbeta i team, betydelsen av att känna sig trygg i sin yrkesroll samt värdet av reflektion. Slutsats: Anestesisjuksköterskornas delade erfarenheter tyder på en samstämmighet om att när en oväntat svår luftväg uppstår så efterfrågades mer träning tillsammans. Detta dels för att underlätta samarbetet och för att kunna ta del av andras erfarenheter och strategier för att lösa liknande situationer i framtiden. Nyckelord: Anestesisjuksköterska, oväntat svåra luftvägar, erfarenheter, känslor, upplevelser. / Background: Managing the airway of a patient during anesthesia is one of anesthesia nurse's main tasks. When an unexpected difficult airway occurs, the high demands in terms of competence of the nurse anesthetist. Previous research has small extent focused on the nurse anesthetist experiences of this complex situation. It is therefore desirable to perform further studies on this subject, focusing on experience. Aim: The aim was to illustrate anesthetic nurses experiences of the unexpected difficult airway associated with anesthesia. Method: The study was conducting using qualitative approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten anesthetic nurses employed in two different surgical departments in Sweden. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed by content analysis. Result: The analysis revealed four categories that describe anesthetic nurses experiences of the unexpected difficult airway associated with anesthesia; experiences of working under pressure, to work in teams, the importance of feeling safe in their professional capacity and the value reflection Conclusion: Anesthetic nurses shared experiences suggest a consensus that when these situations occur they requested more training together. This is partly to facilitate cooperation and also to take advantage of others' experiences and strategies to solve similar situations in the future. Keywords: Nurse anesthetist, unexpected difficult airways, experiences, feelings.

The close relationship between sports and the natural environment has been endangered by climate crisis and global warming (Breitbarth et al., 2023; Cunningham et al., 2020; McCullough, 2023; Orr & Inoue, 2019). For this reason, the development of golf courses has been accused of serious impacts on environmental destruction which causes climate change, despite the popularity of golf (Fouillouze et al, 2023). Golf courses have become quite far from the green image. Hence, golf courses began to voluntarily obtain environmental certification (e.g., Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program, GEO certified) to protect nature and keep ecosystems sustainable (Gomis et al., 2018; Lee et al., 2022; Minoli et al., 2015; Scott et al., 2018). However, the existing literature cannot determine whether the golf courses' environmental efforts play an important role in laying the groundwork for the development of relationships with customers, and even it is unclear whether they can benefit from the relationship marketing. Thus, the purpose of this study was to create and assess a holistic model that explains the formation of customers' brand advocacy on environmentally friendly golf courses. Building on various bodies of literature, such as green brand image, feelings of gratitude, relationship quality, and brand advocacy, proposed a theoretical model that explains the formation of customers' brand advocacy intentions. Empirical data were collected from 575 golfers who had visited environmentally friendly golf courses and analyzed using a structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed that perceived brand image influences feelings of gratitude, which in turn positively influences brand advocacy intentions through relationship quality. The feelings of gratitude did not directly affect brand advocacy intentions, while they indirectly influenced brand advocacy intentions through the quality of relationships including trust and commitment. The findings of the study suggested that under the influence of green marketing, relationship quality plays a pivotal role in influencing brand advocacy intentions, providing a holistic model of relationship development. Therefore, sustainable branding is a relationship strategy that can inspire customers.
