Protestant pastors in America are leaders who provide guidance in spiritual matters to millions of people. The demands of their work can be stressful and overwhelming, leading to burnout. Burnout results in some pastors leaving their leadership positions, which has a negative impact on the members of the congregation as well as the pastors themselves. This study's goal was to determine the perceived needs of pastors, in order to prevent burnout, and the kinds of resources they perceive would best meet their needs. This study utilized a qualitative approach in the collection, description, and analysis of data. The results revealed pastors feel over-extended and face unrealistic expectations in their work. Support systems, such as clergy groups may be helpful in combating these. Taking time off, spiritual renewal practices, and exercise are some important practices many of the pastors in this study agreed would be beneficial as well. / Fisher Institute for Wellness and Gerontology

M.Cur. / The Sub-Sahara region is riddled with HIV/AIDS to such an extent it has became a pandemic. The challenge to control or to minimize further infections has been left to the community nurses. The community nurses' primary aim is to promote and prevent the spread of infection, especially HIV I AIDS, amongst vulnerable groups (Clemen-Stone, 2002-134 ). The under-utilisation of the voluntary HIV -testing facility by hostel dwellers is a cause of concern among nurses in this Southern Metropolitan Health Care Centre. Clinic statistics for the year 2002 indicate that only sixty-six hostel dwellers used the voluntary HIV -testing. This number is low compared to the approximate population of twelve thousand hostel dwellers of the three hostels. The purpose of the research is to describe strategies to promote voluntary HIV -testing in the Southern Metropolitan Health Care Centre by community nurses. To realise the purpose of the research, the following research objectives are stated: To explore and describe factors that influence hostel dwellers not to utilise voluntary HIV -testing by community nurses in the Southern Metropolitan Health Care Centre. To explore and describe the community nurses' response to the factors that influence hostel dwellers not to utilise voluntary HIV -testing in the Southern Metropolitan Health Care Centre. To describe strategies for community nurses to promote the utilisation of the voluntary HIV -testing. The research design for this study is qualitative, descriptive and contextual in nature, (Mouton, 1996:102-103, 10, 133). The research in phase one was conducted in two steps. Step one focused on the exploration and description of the factors that influence hostel dwellers not to utilise the voluntary HIV -testing in health care centers. Step two dealt with the responses of community nurses as to how to address these factors in the health care centre.

Bakgrund: Trycksår uppkommer efter ett långvarigt tryck mot huden som leder till en syrebrist i vävnaden. Patienter som drabbad av trycksår i vården är ofta rullstolsburna eller sängliggande på grund av sjukdom eller smärta. Trycksår innebär ett stort lidande för patienten och det vardagliga livet påverkas i den mån att patienten isolerar sig och läkningsprocessen är lång och upplevs smärtsam. Utöver stort lidande för patienten innebär trycksår stora kostnader för sjukvården och samhället. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva omvårdnadsåtgärder i sjuksköterskans arbete gällande trycksårsprevention. Samt beskriva urvalsmetoden i de inkluderade artiklarna. Metod: Beskrivande litteraturstudie. Artiklar söktes i Cinahl och PubMed mellan 2012-2017. Det slutgiltiga resultatet baserades på 11 artiklar. Resultat: Resultatet utformades efter tre underrubriker: 1) Tryckavlastande hjälpmedel: Åtgärder och material i omvårdnaden minimerar risken att uppkomsten av trycksår sker. Den dagliga preventiva omvårdnaden och olika luftmadrasser visade på bäst effekt. 2) Riskbedömning: Användandet av olika riskbedömningsinstrument i det dagliga arbetet minskade risken för trycksårsuppkomster. Det framkom att det bäst lämpade bedömningsinstrumentet var RAPS. Genom utbildning kunde sjuksköterskorna öka sin kunskap gällande identifiering och klassificering av trycksår. 3) Lägesändringar: Resultatet visade att 30 graders vinkling i en liggande position var bäst för att avlasta områden som lätt drabbas av trycksår. Metodologisk aspekt: Urvalsmetoden beskrevs på ett tydligt sätt i 11 av de inkluderade artiklarna. I en artikel var urvalsmetoden mindre tydlig. Slutsats: Litteraturstudien visar på att genom att använda sig av olika omvårdnadsåtgärder så som tryckavlastande hjälpmedel, riskbedömningar samt lägesändringar kan sjuksköterskan i sitt preventiva arbete minska uppkomsten av trycksår. / Background: Pressure ulcers occur after prolonged pressure against the skin which leads to an acid deficiency in the tissue. Patients who suffered from pressure ulcers in the ward are often wheelchair-borne or bedridden due to illness or pain. Pressure ulcers are a major disorder for the patient and everyday life is affected insofar as the patient isolates and the healing process is long and painful. In addition to suffering for the patient, pressure ulcers involve high costs for the healthcare and society. Aim: The aim of the literature study was to describe nursing measures in the nursing work regarding pressure ulcers prevention. As well as describe the sampling method in the included articles. Method: Descriptive literature study. Articles were searched in Cinahl and PubMed between 2012-2017. The final result was based on 12 articles. Findings: The result was designed according to three subheadings: 1) Pressure relief devices: Measures and materials in nursing minimize the risk of the occurrence of pressure ulcers. The daily preventive care and different air mattresses showed the best effect. 2) Risk assessment: The use of different risk assessment tools in daily work reduced the risk of pressure ulcer. It was found that the most suitable assessment tool was Raps. Through education, nurses could increase their knowledge regarding the identification and classification of pressure ulcers. 3) Position changes: The result showed that 30 degrees angulation in a lying position was best for relieving areas easily affected by pressure ulcers. Methodological aspect: The selection method was described clearly in 11 of the included articles. In one article, the selection method was less clear. Conclusion: The literature study shows that by using various care measures such as pressure relief devices, risk assessments and changes in position, the nurse in his preventive work can reduce the appearance of pressure ulcers.
