Bakgrund: Bröstcancer är idag den vanligaste typen av cancer i världen hos kvinnor. Att drabbas av bröstcancer är en stor omställning i livet. Bra kontakt med omvårdnadspersonalen är viktigt för behandlingen och återhämtningen. Kvinnors upplevelser finns beskrivet i forskning och behöver sammanställas för att ge en överblick på kunskapsläget. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva kvinnors upplevelse av att drabbas av bröstcancer, synen på omvårdnad och genomgå kirurgisk behandling.  Metod: Studien baserades på åtta studier som har genomförts med kvalitativ metod. Artiklarna kvalitetsgranskades med stöd av Olsson och Sörensens (2011) granskningstabell för att därefter analyseras med hjälp av Hsieh och Shannons (2005) analysmodell. Resultat: Resultatet kategoriserades i tre huvudteman: nyuppkomna känslor, kommunikation från omvårdnadspersonal och relationen med omvårdnadspersonalen med sammanlagt sex subteman. Kvinnorna som gjort kirurgisk behandling vid bröstcancer önskade stöd från omvårdnadspersonalen, förbättrad kommunikation och individanpassad information om operationen och vad som kommer hända sen. Konklusion: För att kunna ge kvinnorna bästa möjliga omvårdnad behöver omvårdnadspersonalen ha ett mer personcentrerat tankesätt med fokus på stöd och kommunikation samt ge individanpassad information. / Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women all over the world. To be diagnosed with breast cancer is a big challenge. Good contact with healthcare professionals is important for treatment and recovery. The experience of women is described in research and need to be compiled to provide an overview of the state of knowledge  Aim: The purpose of this literature study was to examine women's experiences of suffering from breast cancer, their view of nursing care and undergoing surgical treatment. Methods: A qualitative method was used based on eight scientific articles reviewed with Olsson and Sörensen’s (2011) review table. The analysis process was inspired of Hsieh and Shannon’s (2005) analysis form. Results: The results were categorized into three main themes: new emotions, communication with nursing staff, and the relationship with nursing staff, altogether with six sub-themes. Women who have gone through surgical treatment due to breast cancer wanted support from the nursing staff, improved communication, personalized information about the surgery and what will happen post surgery. Conclusion: To be able to provide women with the best possible care, the nursing staff need to have a more person-centered mindset with a focus on support and communication and provide individualized information.

This study deals with the relationship between culture and national development in Angola. It is self-evident that folktales are integral to the cultural heritage of any people, and the Lunda-Cokwe of Angola are no exception. Folktales pass on their knowledge and general cultural heritage to new generation. However, they are rarely regarded as a useful component on development process of a country. In general the development is largely measured in statistics reflecting material wealth. It maintains that, in order to bring about sustainable development and national unity, a holistic approach to personality building as well as nation building is required. The argumentation will not only take into account economic capital generated through national resources, such as diamonds from the Lunda provinces, but also requires other forms of capital, including social and cultural capital as articulated in Bourdieu’s theory of capital. / African languages / M.A. (African languages)

Thesis (MEd) -- Stellenbosch University, 1991. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study aims at contributing towards the improvement of teaching, in secondary schools, of written composition and literature in Afrikaans as a first language. · For this purpose, an outline of the relevant literature is presented. It is evident that the teaching of Afrikaans is not entirely sound. As simple solution does not exist; however, this study is an attempt to improve the present situation by focussing on integrated teaching and on the implementation of the media. Technological development puts the media within reach of more people each day. Pupils spend a great deal of time watching television, films and videos; or listening to the radio, records and cassettes. They read newspapers and magazines. This study maintains that the media should therefore be utilized to advance the teaching of Afrikaans, as all communicative skills will then improve in particular reading and writing. An integrative approach to teaching is widely recognised as the ideal. Neuropsychological research has shown that the human brain functions optimally when teaching is integrated. Ideally, in regard to the teaching of a language, composition writing and literature study should merge. The current South African curriculum does not as yet place enough emphasis on this aspect. This study concludes that there is a need for integrated teaching to be introduced into the curriculum for Afrikaans as first language. A second conclusion is that the media, which can serve as device for blending written composition and literature teaching, is not yet exploited effectively. Pupils display an ardent interest in the media and it follows that the media should be used intentionally and as a prominent component of the teaching programme. An integrated teaching programme, which focusses on the media, is proposed in this study. Practical suggestions are made in this regard, proving that the media can serve as crucial point of integration for the teaching of written composition and literature. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie is om deur 'n oorsig van die relevante literatuur 'n bydrae te lewer tot die onderrig van stelwerk en letterkunde in Afrikaans as Eerste Taal in die senior sekondere skoolfase. Dit is duidelik dat alles nie wel is met die onderrig van Afrikaans nie. 'n Enkelvoudige oplossing is nie moontlik nie, maar hierdie studie wil probeer om die betreklik negatiewe beeld wat bestaan, te verbeter. Die invalshoek wat gekies is, is die van mediagerigtheid. Die patr.oon wat gevolg is, is 'n ge1ntegreerde onderrigbenadering. Tegnologiese ontwikkeling plaas die media binne al meer mense se bereik en dit is 'n werklikheid dat leerlinge baie tyd aan televisie, rolprente, radio, musiekvideo's, liedjies, koerante en tydskrifte bestee. In hierdie studie is van die standpunt ui tgegaan dat hierdie tendens tot voordeel van Afrikaans aangewend moet word om die media te benut ten einde leerlinge se lees- e~ skryfvaardighede en dus oak hulle kommunikatiewe vaardighede te ontwikkel. 'n Ge1ntegreerde onderrigbenadering word allerwee as die ideaal erken. Neuropsigologiese navorsing het getoon dat die menslike brein optimaal funksioneer wanneer onderrig ge1ntegreerd aangebied word. Wat die komponente van taalonderrig betref, is die ideaal dat die stelwerk en "letterkunde ten nouste ge1ntegreer behoort te word. Die huidige situasie in Suid-Afrika vertoon egter nog leemtes, want binne die bestaande kurrikulum kom ge1ntegreerde onderrig nog nie tot sy reg nie. Die studie kom dan tot die eerste gevolgtrekking dat daar wel 'n behoefte bestaan aan ge1ntegreerde onderrig in die kurrikulum vir Afrikaans Eerste Taal. 'n Tweede belangrike gevolgtrekking is dat die media as ontmoetingspunt van stelwerk en letterkunde nie genoegsaam ontgin word nie. Aangesien leerlinge so 'n intense belangstelling toon in die media, is dit net logies dat die media grater prominensie verkry binne die huidige kurrikulum deur die bewustelike inskakeling van hierdie media in die onderrigprogram. Aan die hand van praktiese voorstelle en wenke is in hierdie studie 'n ge1ntegreerde onderrigprogram vir stelwerk en letterkunde met as fokuspunt die media, voorgestel. Op die wyse is bewys gelewer dat die media wel as integrasiepunt van stelwerk en letterkunde kan dien.

The problem was to develop a concept of teaching English for the adult (24 years old or older) undergraduate. The purposes were to make a statement on teaching the adult, survey adults for their perceptions of their needs and the ways the courses met them, review findings of schools offering special adult degree programs, and develop a typology of the adult undergraduate in English with teaching implications. Chapter I states the problem, purposes, significance, and limitations of the study. Chapter II develops the historical background. Chapter III covers the survey and its implications. Chapter IV presents teachers' views of teaching English for adults. Chapter V summarizes the study and sets forth a conceptual structure for teaching the adult undergraduate in such courses.

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor som vårdar patienter med demenssjukdom uttrycker att det behövs nya idéer för hur man kan stödja patienternas närstående för att öka den upplevda livskvalitén i situationen. Närstående uttrycker ofta en upplevd hopplöshet och vänder sig främst till sjuksköterskor när de är i behov av stöd för att själva inte drabbas av ångest eller depressioner. Sjuksköterskor uttrycker samtidigt att de inte alltid har möjlighet att se till närståendes behov fullt ut, eftersom det ofta kräver ett stort engagemang och arbete som inte ryms i deras begränsade arbetspass. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att stödja närstående till patienter med demenssjukdom. Metod: En kvalitativ litteraturstudie med beskrivande syntes. Resultat: Två teman formulerades: Att hantera komplexiteten och Att vara varandras resurser. Utifrån temana formulerades fyra subteman: Att försöka förstå närståendes situation, Att begränsas av organisatoriska resurser, Att lindra närståendes lidande och Att kommunicera med närstående. Tillsammans beskriver temana och subtemana sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att stödja närstående till patienter med demenssjukdom. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskorna upplever att det är svårt att stödja närstående i tillräckligt stor utsträckning, eftersom det begränsas av tid, möjlighet och kunskap. / Background: Nurses who care for patients with dementia express that new ideas are needed for how to support the patients' next of kin in order to increase the perceived quality of life in the situation. Patients’ next of kin often express a perceived hopelessness and primarily turn to nurses when they are in need of support for themselves not suffering from anxiety or depression. Nurses at the same time express that they do not always have the opportunity to fully attend the needs of their next of kin, as it often requires a great deal of commitment and work that does not fit into their limited workload. Purpose: To describe nurses' experiences of supporting patients with dementia next of kin. Method: Qualitative study with descriptive synthesis. Result: Two themes were formulated: Managing complexity and Being each other's resources. Based on themes, four sub-themes were formulated: Trying to understand patients next of kin’s current situation, To be limited by organizational resources, To ease the suffering of patients next of kin and To communicate with patients next of kin. Together, themes and sub-themes describe nurses' experiences of supporting patients with dementia next of kin. Conclusions: Nurses find it difficult to be able to support the patients’ next of kin on the level that they wanted to, as it is limited by time, opportunity and knowledge.
