Transition to the labor market after serving a prison sentence can be a complex experience for former offenders. In this qualitative study, we interviewed eight individuals who have served time in prison and either initiated or completed their way back to the labor market. A criminal record resulting from a prison sentence not only impacts the job-seeking process but also subjects individuals to stigmatizing gaze from the society. The societal perspective can lead former offenders to internalize these views. However, seeking support from social contacts and engaging with helping organizations can act as coping strategies, facilitating the reentry process both emotionally and practically. These strategies play a crucial role in empowering individuals to embark on the journey back to the labor market.

The aim of the thesis was to explore the stakeholders’ opinions on and experiences with donation of used assistive devices from high-income countries to developing countries. Which was done by investigating the opinions and experiences of the different stakeholders, with donation of used assistive devices, and by exploring what used assistive devices are appropriate to donate.   The study included eight participating stakeholders, requited through purposive and snowball sampling. Of the eight participants, five participants were sending stakeholders from Scandinavia and three participants were receiving stakeholders from lower-middle-income countries in Africa and an upper-middle-income country in Europe. The interviews were conducted using semi-structured questions to explore the participants’ own opinions and experiences with donations. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the transcribed interviews inductively and with manifest content.  The results consisted of 4 main categories: Practical issues, Stakeholders opinions and cooperation, Donations are needed, and Considerations when donating. The main findings of the study were; the importance of quality control to ensure waste is not sent, the importance of communication between sender and receiver about needs, the importance of knowledge of the prerequisites and context of the receiver, and lastly, the importance of considering the responsibility of waste when the donations are worn out. In conclusion, the included stakeholders have a positive attitude towards donations and expressed a need for more knowledge. / Målet med dette studie var at undersøge interessenternes holdninger til og oplevelser med donation af brugte hjælpemidler fra lande med høj indkomst til udviklingslande. Dette vil blive gjort ved at undersøge holdningerne og oplevelserne fra de forskellige interessenter, om donation af brugte hjælpemidler, og ved at udforske hvilke brugte hjælpemidler der er passende at donere.  Studiet inkluderede otte deltagende interessenter, som blev rekrutteret gennem formålsrettet og snowball sampling. Ud af de otte deltagere var fem deltagere afsender interessenter fra Skandinavien og tre deltagere var modtager interessenter fra lande med middellav indkomst i Afrika og et land i Europa med middelhøj indkomst. Interviewerne var udført ved at bruge semistrukturerede spørgsmål for at udforske deltagernes egne meninger og oplevelser omkring donation.
