Vårdandet av en patient med psykossjukdom är komplexfyllt på grund av det breda spektra av svårigheter och handikapp som sjukdomen medför. Rätt bemötande inom psykiatrin kan erbjuda patienterna ett alternativ till medicinsk behandling. Sjuksköterskorna som möter patienterna är ofta medvetna om detta men saknar kunskap om vad som krävs och hur det ska förmedlas. Förståelsen för vilket bemötande patienten behöver och vilka redskap som finns bör utforskas och studeras fortlöpande för att utvecklas.

<p>Människor har ett grundläggande behov av samhörighet och att ingå i en social kontext. På så sätt skapas ett beroende av andras acceptans för att kunna upprätthålla hälsa och välmående. Social exkludering utgör därför ett hot mot mänskligt välbefinnande. I denna studie undersöks hur exkludering och grad av narcissism påverkar tre typer av individers självreglerande beteende; Aggressivitet, risktagande och prosocialitet. Sextio studenter med hög eller låg grad av narcissism tänkte tillbaka på när de blivit inkluderade eller exkluderade. Resultatet visade att deltagare med en hög grad av narcissism i personligheten agerade mer aggressivt och tenderade att agera mer riskbenäget när de exkluderats. Prosocialitet påverkades inte av exkluderingsmanipulationen, inte heller den situationella självkänslan och humör. Resultatet indikerar att grad av narcissism i personligheten är en viktig faktor för konsekvenser av social exkludering.</p>

<p>It is common in most areas of psychiatric healthcare that nurses come into contact with threatening and aggressive patients. In order to ensure that healthcare units shall be able to meet the needs of patients and at the same time be certain that the work environment is safe for nurses, it is important to precision what threats and violence actually mean. If threatening and violent situations can be identified before they lead to physically or psychologically damaging encounters, this will save the both patients and nurses unnecessary suffering. <em>The Purpose</em>: was to bring to light nurses’ definitions and experiences of threats and violence and at the same time describe how they perceive daily working enviroment within psychiatry. <em>The Method</em>: the work was built on twenty nurses presently working in various psychiatric clinics. We made use of a data collection method that is built upon semi-structured interviews where we there after, in a sytematic and step by step process, classified the data through qualitative content analysis in order to more easily identify and condense pertinent sentence concepts. We created codes which were then placed into three categories. <em>The Results</em>: are split up into categorys: The precision of threats of violence, the experience of threats, and violence in the workplace. These categories are presented by the codes: threat, violence, sexual harassment, direct threats, the effects of threats, violence in combination with compulsory psychiatric care, the consequences of threats and violence, the acceptance of threats and violence, safety measures, the psychiatric nurses’ work enviroment, and the support of the nurses’ colleagues and the care organisation, were made apparent during the interviews.<strong> </strong><em>The<strong> </strong>Discussion</em>: The majority och nurses enjoy their job and feel safe working at psychiatric clinics and wards, despite that incidents of threats and violence do occur.</p>
