Både kronisk smärta och musik har existerat från begynnelsen och de utövar stort inflytande på människan multidimensionellt. Musiken har genom tiderna använts för att påverka stämning och humör. Syftet med denna studie var därför att undersöka om musik har lindrande effekt på kronisk smärta. Metoden var en litteraturstudie där tolv vetenskapliga artiklar låg till grund för resultatet. Teoretisk referensram var Rosmarie Parses omvårdnadsteori, som beskriver människans symbios med miljön. Dessutom menar Parse att det ska finnas alternativ till den traditionella medicinen. Resultatet visade att musiken hade lindrande effekt både fysiologiskt och psykologiskt. Förutom smärtlindrande effekt uppstod avslappning och kognitiva förändringar som ökade patientens känsla av inre styrka. Denna styrka kan hjälpa patienten att ta makten över sin smärta så den inte överskuggar hela tillvaron. Musik i omvårdnaden är lätt att implementera då den är enkel, ofarlig och kostnadseffektiv. Den passar även utmärkt som egenvårdsåtgärd. / Both chronic pain and music have existed from the beginning of time and they exercise a great deal of influence over the human being on multidimensional levels. Music has been used throughout time to affect atmosphere and mood. Hence, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether music can relieve chronic pain. The method used was a literature review where our results were based on twelve scientific articles. The nursing care theories of Rosmarie Parse, where she describes the symbiosis between human and environment, served as a reference frame. In addition, Parse believes that there should be an alternative to traditional medicine. The results showed that music relieved pain both physiologically and psychologically. Apart from its pain relieving effects it resulted in relaxation and cognitive changes in the patient, which increased his sense of inner strength. This strength can in turn help the patient to take control over his pain so that it doesn’t overshadow his everyday life. It is easy to implement music in nursing care as it is simple, harmless and cheap. Music is also an excellent method of self-care.

Sexuality education is a fundamental children's right, women’s right and overall human right that has not been successfully implemented in primary, secondary, or higher education throughout the globe. Sexuality education promotes children, adolescents, and teenagers safety exploring their sexuality and developing their attitudes, values, and skills. A literature review was conducted that indicates there is a gap of knowledge between sexual ethics in relation to comprehensive sexuality education and holistic sexuality education. The purpose of this study is to gain understanding of comprehensive sexuality education and holistic sexuality education by comparing vertically, horizontally, and traversally three guidelines on three levels, global, regional, and national. Critical and feminist theory are frameworks in qualitative research methods implemented in the thesis to thematically analyze secondary data throughout UNESCO International Technical Guidance on sexuality education, WHO Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe, and SIECUS’s Guidelines for CSE in USA. The results found that from an intersectional feminist perspective, learning about consent and setting boundaries is essential for the promotion of holistic sexuality education thats overcomes the limitations of comprehensive sexuality education and empowers youth to explore their sexuality further. Therefore, basing sexual ethics as a foundation for holistic sexuality education with an overarching goal of global implementation can challenging due to existing social structures and power imbalances. The advocacy and awareness of holistic sexuality education is crucial in order to for youth to access their children’s rights and human rights. This thesis advocates for sexual ethics and intimate citizenship as main pillars of sexuality and holistic sexuality education through consent and respecting boundaries.

Conflict Related Sexual Violence (CRSV) is a persistent and pervasive humanitarian issue, exacerbated by complexities inherent in global conflicts. Recognising the widespread character of CRSV, the need for comprehensive measures to combat it becomes apparent. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where CRSV remains a prevalent element in the conflict, Panzi Hospital stands out for its specialisation in assisting survivors. The hospital has developed a holistic care model known as the Panzi Model, which serves as a guiding framework for their efforts. In an increasingly interconnected world, characterised by blurred borders and interdependence among societies, the importance of knowledge transfer (KT), especially while acknowledging the importance of an intersectional approach, becomes evident. This study aimed to assess stakeholders' perceptions of the transferability of the Panzi Model, with a specific focus on its transfer from the DRC to Ukraine, facilitated by the Mukwege Foundation. Employing a qualitative mixed-methods approach, empirical data was collected through interviews and document analysis. The analysis was guided by a theoretical framework—a process model for KT developed within the scope of this research, integrating intersectionality into all its phases. Key findings reveal optimism regarding the model's adaptability, but significant challenges persist, including cultural barriers and a lack of conscious decision-making processes of KT. While efforts have been made to raise awareness and provide support services in Ukraine, challenges remain, including a disproportionate focus on advocacy efforts, leaving limited space for tangible medical and psychological support efforts––both key components of the Panzi Model. Findings also revealed the complexities of deciding whether to establish one-stop-centres (OSCs) or to work through referral systems. In conclusion, the study suggests that while the philosophy of the Panzi Model can be transferred, its full implementation requires nuanced adaptations. Recommendations include transparent disclosure of adaptations and a focus on underlying principles rather than rigid methods. Additionally, the study advocates for fostering international civil society collaboration and prioritising long-term aid for sustainable development. Overall, successful application of these concepts requires contextual sensitivity and ongoing collaboration among stakeholders.

I Sverige pågår en reform för att etablera en nära vård som prioriterar att vården omkring patienten blir mer effektiv och patientfokus i vårdmiljön stärks. Kärnan i denna reform är övergången till ett mer personcentrerat arbetssätt. Dagens ambulanssjukvård motsvarar inte samhällets ökade krav och är inte rätt rustad och effektiv i sin nuvarande struktur. Ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt tydliggör patientens behov och unika situation. Examens-arbetets syfte var att analysera tillämpningar av personcentrerad vård i dagens ambulans-sjukvård. Åtta yrkesverksamma ambulanssjuksköterskor inkluderades utifrån bekvämlig-hets urval och individuella intervjuer genomfördes. Materialet analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet presenteras i tre huvudkategorier och sex subkategorier. Kommunikationen mellan ambulanssjuksköterskan och patienten framkommer som ett centralt begrepp i förverkligandet av ett personcentrerat fokus i den prehospitala vårdmiljön. Viktiga insikter är att ambulanssjuksköterskans handlingar mot patienten har stor inverkan på patientens integritet och är av betydelse i vårdandet. / In Sweden, a reform is underway to establish easy to assess healthcare system, that in integrative way prioritizes brings healthcare closer to the patient to create a more efficient and patient-focused care environment. The core of this reform is the transition to a more person-centered approach. Today's ambulance healthcare does not meet society's increased demands and is not adequately equipped or efficient in its current structure. A person-centered approach highlights the patient's needs and unique situation. This one-year master thesis aims to analyze the applications of person-centered care in today's ambulance healthcare. A qualitative interview study was conducted with eight practicing ambulance nurses selected through convenience sampling. Communication between the ambulance nurse and the patient emerges as a central concept in realizing a person-centered focus in the prehospital care environment. Key insights reveal that the actions of the ambulance nurse regard the patient have a significant impact on the patient's integrity and subsequent care plan.

The use of electronic health records (EHR) from various sources like text, images and time-series data to make predictions or diagnosis have been researchedpreviously. Many previous methods have used separate models either for sepa-rate modalities or for distinct tasks. Recently, models trained to make medicalpredictions using multimodal input have emerged, as a unified approach wouldbe beneficial for health practitioners. We present a single model to make medicalpredictions for several tasks, using diverse input from different modalities. Wedemonstrate the effectiveness of using an autoencoder method to project (EHR)data from three different modalities – images, text and time-series data – into thesmall language model Gemma-2B. 6 projector models are used together with the small language model to perform multi-label prediction for 12 different medicalprediction tasks. Results show that a jointly trained model using asymmetric loss,a loss function that dynamically emphasises positives that are poorly predicted,shows good performance and predicts evenly across tasks.

The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of elite golf players in transitioning from active professional athletes to post-sports life. All participants in the study were male, playing at one of the two highest national levels in Sweden, either the Future Series or the Moregolf Mastercard Tour. Eight participants were recruited for the study with the requirement that they had played for at least three years at one of these top national levels, and that no more than three years had passed since they ended their careers. The study employed a semi-structured interview guide, developed based on theoretical frameworks, to conduct in-depth interviews with each participant. The information collected from the interviews was analyzed using thematic analysis to identify various themes and patterns, which then formed the results of the study. The results indicated that all participants experienced some form of challenge during their career transition from being active elite athletes to post-sport life. One of the biggest challenges among the participants was uncertainty about the future and what to do after ending their sports careers. Participants found that support from their families was a crucial resource during the end of their careers. Those who had combined sports with studies or work, dual careers, during their active sports careers found that this facilitated their transition. In terms of managing career ending, the majority of the participants highlighted the importance of having a plan B for life after sports. Participants who had not planned for life after sports were worried about their future. However, all but one of the participants began working or studying relatively soon after ending their careers, primarily driven by their own desire to pursue new goals and challenges. / Syftet med studien var att studera elitidrottande golfspelares upplevelser av karriärövergången från aktiv elitidrottare till livet efter idrotten. Samtliga deltagare i studien var herrar som spelat på någon av de två högsta nationella nivåerna i Sverige, Future Series eller Moregolf Mastercard Tour. Åtta deltagare rekryterades till studien, inkluderingskriterierna var att deltagarna skulle spelat minst tre år på någon av de två högsta nationella nivåerna samt att det maximalt fick vara tre år sedan deltagarna avslutat karriären. Studien använde sig av en semistrukturerad intervjuguide konstruerad utifrån de teoretiska ramverken för att genomföra djupgående intervjuer med varje deltagare. Materialet från intervjuerna analyserades med tematisk analys. Resultatet visade tre huvudteman; upplevda utmaningar vid karriäravslut, resurser vid karriäravslut och olika hantering av karriäravslut. En av de största utmaningarna bland deltagarna var osäkerhet om framtiden och vad man ska göra efter idrottskarriären. Deltagarna upplevde bland annat att stödet från familjen var en viktig resurs under karriäravslutet och de deltagare som under den aktiva idrottskarriären kombinerat idrotten med studier eller arbete, upplevde det som en resurs vid karriäravslut. Gällande hantering av karriäravslutet belyste majoriteten av deltagarna vikten av att ha en plan b för livet efter idrotten. De deltagare som inte hade planerat för livet efter idrotten var oroliga över hur det skulle gå för dem. Däremot började alla deltagare förutom en att arbeta eller studera relativt snabbt efter karriäravslutet och en stor anledning till det var framför allt deltagarnas egna driv att sträva efter nya mål och utmaningar.
