Bakgrund: Teorier i omvårdnad har beskrivits av många omvårdnadsforskare. Sjuksköterskeprofessionen är tvärvetenskaplig. Huvudämnet i sjuksköterskeutbildningen är omvårdnad och stödämnen i professionen kan vara biomedicin och folkhälsa. Det akademiska ämnet omvårdnad är professionsneutralt. En vanlig uppfattning bland sjuksköterskor är att jämställa professionen med ämnet. Detta mångvetenskapliga perspektiv har lett till att det inte finns någon klar definition om vad som är kärnan i ämnet omvårdnad. Syfte: Syftet med examensarbetet var att studera hur sjuksköterskor på en ortopedavdelning beskriver god omvårdnad. Metod: Studien gjordes på en ortopedavdelning i Sverige under 2008. Åtta sjuksköterskor deltog i studien. En kvalitativ intervju genomfördes på en ortopedavdelning. Data transkriberades och analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Sjuksköterskornas beskrivning av god omvårdnad sammanfattades i sju teman; smärtlindring, sjuksköterskans ansvarsområde, kommunikation, glädje, tid, teamwork och etiskt förhållningssätt. Konklusion: När sjuksköterskorna beskrev god omvårdnad utgick de ifrån deras arbetsuppgifter i sjuksköterskeprofessionen. De särskiljde inte omvårdnadskunskap från kunskaper inom stödämnen. Teorier i omvårdnad och centrala begrepp i omvårdnad var inte självklara för sjuksköterskorna. Däremot har de beskrivit delar av kärnan i omvårdnadsämnet utan att relatera till teorier i omvårdnad. / Background: Theories in nursing care has been described by several researchers. The profession is multidisciplinary. The major subject in the education for nurses is nursing care and other subjects in the profession can be biomedicine and public health. The academic subject nursing care is not bounded to the nurses’ profession. A common idea among the nurses is to see the profession as equal to the academic subject nursing care. Because of many perspectives, there is no clear definition that describes the essence of nursing care. Aim: The aim of this dissertation was to study how nurses´ describe good nursing care at an orthopaedic unit. Methods: The study was carried out in one orthopaedic unit in Sweden in 2008. Eight nurses’ took part in the study. A qualitative interview with was performed at the orthopaedic unit. Data were transcribed and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Findings: The nurses’ description of good nursing care was summarized in seven themes; pain management, a nurse responsibility, communication, joy, time, teamwork and ethical attitude. Conclusions: When the nurses´ described god nursing care they assumed from their tasks in the profession. They did not distinguished nursing care from the knowledge of subjects included in a nurse profession. Theories in nursing care and central concepts were not obvious for the nurses´. Although the parts of the core in nursing care has been described without relating to theories.

The aim of this study was to describe the nurses‘ perception of termination of pregnancy and her perception of her conduct towards clients that request termination of pregnancy guided by Kings‘ Systems Approach and Goal Attainment Theory. A non-experimental quantitative descriptive correlational design was used. A non-probability purposive sampling method was used consisting of institutions in the Western Cape, available to participate in this study, which deliver termination of pregnancy services, gov ernment health care institutions (21) and Marie Stopes clinics (3). Non-probability convenience sampling was used consisting of registered nurses who are working in termination of pregnancy units in these facilities (N=82). Data were collected through the administration of a self-designed questionnaire. The main findings of the study indicate that respondents (personal system) appear to feel positive about the work they are doing. Formal improvement and development are however not utilised optimally. Regarding the interpersonal system, respondents also show a positive orientation to both the woman opting for termination of pregnancy and the foetus. The potential towards transaction and ultimately goal attainment reside within this system. The respondents are also positive about legislation, employers and policies (social system) relating to termination of pregnancy. This orientation creates a milieu that is conducive to transactions, interactions and goal attainment.The main recommendation is that three systems as proposed by King be continuously integrated within the termination of pregnancy setup through, amongst other measures: values clarification, management support, in service education, the inclusion of termination of pregnancy in undergraduate programmes, focus groups and the like. / Die doel van hierdie studie was om die verpleegkundige se persepsie van terminasie van swangerskap en haar persepsie van haar houding en gedrag teenoor kliёnte wat terminasie van swangerskap versoek, aan die hand van King se Sisteembenadering en Doelwitbereikingsteorie te ondersoek en te beskryf. `n Nie-eksperimentele kwantitatiewe beskrywende korrelasie navorsingsontwerp was gebruik. `n Nie-waarskynlike doelbewuste-steekproefneming van die staatsgesondheidsorg-instansies wat terminasie van swangerskapdienste aanbied, is geneem en wat beskikbaar vir hierdie studie was (21) asook die Marie Stopesdienste (3), in die Wes-Kaap. `n Nie-waarskynlike gerieflikheidsteekproefneming is van verpleegkundiges geneem wat swangerskappe in hierdie afdelings termineer of moet termineer (N=82). Data is met behulp van `n selfontwerpte vraelys ingesamel. Die hoofbevindings van die studie dui daarop dat respondente (persoonlike sisteem) positief voel oor hul werk. Formele ontwikkelingshulpbronne word egter nie optimaal deur die sisteem benut nie. Wat die interpersoonlike sisteem betref, toon respondente ook ‗n positiewe oriëntasie tot beide die vrou wat terminasie van swangerskap aanvra en die fetus. Die potensiaal tot transaksie-sluiting en uiteindelike doelwitbereiking is binne hierdie sisteem geleë. Die respondente is ook positief oor wetgewing en die werkgewer en beleid (sosiale siteem) ten opsigte van terminasie van swangerskap. Hierdie oriëntering laat ‗n milieu wat bevorderlik is vir transaksie-sluiting, interaksie en doelwitbereiking. Die hoofaanbeveling is dat voortdurend gepoog moet word na die integrasie van King se drie sisteme binne die terminasie van swangerskapafdelings deur onder meer: waarde-uitklaringswerkswinkels, ondersteuning van bestuur, indiensopleiding, die insluiting van terminasie van swangerskap in voorgraadse kurrikula, fokusgroepe en so meer. / Health Studies / D.
