Stress är någonting som blir vanligare bland barn idag. Sygte med denna undersökning är att få kunskap om förskollärares tankar kring barn och stress i förskolan. Syftet är också att bidra till kvalitet och utveckling inom förskolans verksamhet. Med detta arbete tiktas intresset på förskollärares tankar kring stress hos yngre barn och hur vi som arbetar med barn kan arbeta förebygande i förskoleverksamheten samt se och förstå de signaler barn ger ifrån sig. Undersökningen utgår från ett sociokulturellt perspektiv, här beskrivs hur samhällets utveckling påverkar oss människor. Vidare beskrivs förskolans utvekling genom tiderna och hur stress idag påverkas av denna utvekling. I texten förklaras vad stress kan innebära och hur kroppen kan reagera på det. I undersökningen används en kvalitativt inriktad undersökningsmetod. Intervjuer med förskollärare har här genomförts. Det framkom genom intervjuerna att förskollärarna upplever att barn uppvisar vissa tecken på stress. Dessa tecken kan vara rastlöshet, orolighet och koncentrationssvårigheter. Förskollärarna försöker bemöta detta genom att prioritera stunder i delad barngrupp, då omgivninen blir lugnare och mer fokus kan läggas på aktiviteter som skall genomföras.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att synliggöra hur och i vilken utsträckning grundskolelärare upplever stress i sin arbetssituation. Stressens omfattning i skolvärlden har ökat markant under de två senaste decennierna i Sverige. Utifrån tidigare forskning så menar lärare att orsakerna till detta återfinns i både områden som de har påverkningsgrad inom, samt områden där de inte har det. De mest psykosocialt påfrestande faktorerna har bland annat visat sig vara det administrativa arbetets omfattning, tidsbristen, samt stökiga och ointresserade elever. Denna studie är av kvalitativ karaktär med utgångspunkt i fenomenologin och söker synliggöra lärarnas egna uppfattningar och upplevelser med hjälp av halvstrukturerade intervjuer. Den valda platsen för studiens genomförande är en grundskola. Resultatet och slutsatsen utifrån de totalt sju respondenter som deltagit i studien har pekat på att tidsbristen, yrkets krav på individuell flexibilitet, förmågan att kunna hantera stress och det administrativa arbetet är betydande faktorer för lärarens upplevelse av stress. Det har även visat sig att de faktorer som anses vara positiva för läromiljön, samt de egenskaper som anses vara positiva hos läraren, står i direkt motsats till de upplevda konsekvenserna av stress. / <p>Godkännandedatum 2013-06-07</p>

Syftet med studien var att undersöka blivande mammors och pappors upplevelser av stress inför och under föräldraskapet och jämföra eventuella skillnader. Metod. Blivande föräldrar i Västernorrland rekryterades till studien i samband med rutinultraljudet. Föräldrarna besvarade en enkät vid tre tillfällen, i mitten på graviditeten, två månader samt ett år efter förlossningen. Svaren har analyserats med SPSS. Resultat. Resultatet visade att det föreligger skillnader mellan blivande föräldrars upplevelser av stress. Stress mätt över tid minskade bland mammor respektive bland pappor. Det fanns även skillnader i upplevelser av stress i relation till bakgrundsfaktorer. Under graviditeten var upplevelsen av stress störst bland de i åldersgruppen 25-35 år, de som väntade sitt första barn samt de med en högre utbildning. Två månader efter förlossningen uppgav nyblivna mammor, de i åldersgruppen 25-35 samt de som fått sitt första barn en högre stress. Ett år efter förlossningen förelåg endast en skillnad mellan mammor och pappor, där mammor var mer stressade. Konklusion. Det föreligger skillnader mellan mammor och pappors upplevelser av stress. För ökad förståelse och för att kunna erbjuda adekvat stöd till blivande föräldrar bör ytterligare forskning bedrivas. / The purpose of this study was to investigate the prospective mothers 'and fathers ' experiences of stress before and during parenthood and compare any differences. Method. Expectant parents in Västernorrland enrolled in the study in conjunction with routine ultrasound. Parents answered a questionnaire on three occasions, in the middle of pregnancy, two months and one year after childbirth. The responses were analyzed with SPSS. Results. The results showed that there are differences between the prospective parents' experiences of stress. Estimated stress measured over time fell among mothers and among fathers. There were also differences in the experience of stress in relation to background factors. During pregnancy, the experience of stress was greatest in those aged 25-35 years, those who were expecting their first child and those with a higher education. Two months after delivery indicated that mothers,those who were aged 25-35 years, and those who had their first child a higher level of stress. A year after giving birth was only one difference between mothers and fathers, where mothers were more stressed. Conclusion. There are differences between mothers 'and fathers ' experiences of stress. For better understanding and to provide adequate support to expectant parents, further research should be conducted.

Tillgänglighet via jobbmail utanför arbetstid i relation till upplevd stress har uppmärksammats i media under de senaste åren. Studier som har undersökt sambandet har dock visat motsägande resultat. Syftet med denna studie var därför att undersöka om arbetstagares upplevda stressnivå kan förklaras utifrån graden av tillgänglighet via jobbmail utanför arbetstid. Studien utfördes bland arbetstagare på företag i södra och mellersta Sverige av olika yrkeskategorier där 61 personer deltog, varav 23 var män och 38 var kvinnor. Instrumentet som användes var Perceived Stress Scale 10 (PSS-10) tillsammans med egenkonstruerade frågor angående demografisk information, antal arbetstimmar per vecka samt grad av tillgänglighet utanför arbetstid. Resultatet visade inget signifikant samband mellan grad av tillgänglighet via jobbmail utanför arbetstid och upplevd stress hos studiedeltagarna. Dock visade resultatet en signifikant negativ trend mellan ålder och upplevd stress, där upplevd stress avtog med stigande ålder. / Availability through work e-mail outside of working hours in relation to perceived stress has got more attention in the media during the last few years. Previous studies about the topic has shown contradictable results. The purpose of this essay was to investigate if the perceived stress-level among employees could be explained by the availability through e-mail outside of working hours. The study was conducted among workers in the southern and middle part of Sweden with different occupations. There were 61 participants, 23 males and 38 females. To measure stress-level Perceived Stress Scale 10 (PSS-10) was used. The participants were also asked to answer demographic questions, working hours per week and availability outside of working hours. The results did not show any statistically significant relationship between the amount of availability through e-mail outside of working hours and perceived stress-level among the participants. However, we did find a significant negative trend between age and perceived stress, where the perceived stress level decreased with increased age.

Syftet med föreliggande studie är att genom individuella intervjuer med tre myndighetsutövare och tre utförare från en medelstor kommun i Sverige, undersöka orsaker till etisk stress samt ta reda på hur det kan hanteras och vilka befintliga strategier som finns. Studien är kvalitativ och en tematisk analys har använts för att analysera materialet. Resultatet visade att huvudsakliga orsaker till uppkomsten av stress och känslor av otillräcklighet delvis beror på strukturella förutsättningar men även yrkesrollerna. Brist på kontroll i sitt arbete och handlingsutrymme utgjorde även två bakomliggande orsaker. Hanteringsstrategier som framkom hos informanterna var det kollegiala stödet samt tilliten, förtroendet och stödet från chefer. För framtida forskning finns det utrymme att undersöka närmare samverkan mellan domäner samt bristande åtgärder på strukturell nivå kopplat till stress.

A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY in the Faculty ofArts at the University of Zululand, 1999. / Literature repeatedly indicates that stress and burnout constitute a serious problem in the police profession. This study endeavours to identify and describe the stress experiences of community police personnel and in so doing, to gain a deeper and clearer insight into the complex process of stress and burnout in a presently fast changing South African safety and security milieu. A biographical questionnaire as well as a semi-structured questionnaire was used in this research study, which followed a qualitative route. In-depth interviews were held with seven community police officers in the Port Elizabeth region, Eastern Cape. Six of these police officers were from urban areas and one was from a rural area. Content analysis revealed that various stressors, stress reactions, coping mechanisms and support sources as well as various degrees of self-esteem and burnout were manifested. The distinction and relationship between burnout and stress was also considered. In addition, emphasis was placed on biographical variables that play a role in the manifestation of stress among policemen. Each police officer's individual degree of stress experienced was related to a unique process in terms of the identified variables. An integrated description on their stress experiences was also presented in order to show both their uniqueness and similarities. Community policing as a general field of application is sorely under-researched in South Africa. Prior to the present study, no studies had been undertaken to specifically describe the stress process of police personnel in their new role as community policing officers. It has become clear that further research in this regard is required to bring about a deeper understanding of the stress experiences of community police personnel. A greater premium should be placed on all the persons involved in this area of research to address the problem of stress among the police profession and thus find solutions. The objective being to secure a greater safety for future generations and provide more support to the police.
