Tron på den egna förmågan att förbli återhållsam (”abstinence self-efficacy”) har visat sig vara en bidragande faktor till att personer med substansberoende lyckas förbli återhållsamma. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det fanns gemensamma teman inom tron på den egna förmågan hos människor med substansberoende, med särskilt fokus på faktorer som bidrar till förmågan att förbli återhållsam. Detta har undersökts genom åtta intervjuer med människor som inte längre är aktiva i sitt substansberoende. Deltagarna var 19-65 år gamla, varav en var kvinna. Alla deltagare har haft någon form av substansberoende, varav sex deltagare hade alkohol som sin huvudsubstans. De teman som hittades inom förstärkande faktorer var yttre - relationer och aktiviteter, samt inre - inneboende motivation och tankar. Det tema som hittades inom faktorer som försvagar var motgångar. Studien kan användas för att bättre förstå vilka faktorer som är bidragande när det kommer till substansberoendes tro på den egna förmågan att förbli återhållsam.

In Part 2 of this 2 part sequence, use of abstinence assessment tools to rate NAS scores will be discussed to guide understanding of withdrawal symptoms commonly observed. Abstinence tools will be compared and contrasted against infant assessments commonly used by therapist to guide neurodevelopmental implications of symptoms. Guided by NAS assessments non-pharmological management will be addressed including environmental adaptations, state regulation, rest and sleep (use of swaddling, nonnutritive sucking, rocking, positioning), feeding (formula and breastfeeding). Applied examples of the therapist role in NICU along with treatment interventions for infants and their families will be discussed. Once the caregivers within the NICU are better to understand the scope of the problem, this knowledge will translate into improved developmentally supportive and age appropriate care. A through understanding of infants with NAS and their families will lead to more responsive care for their infants during and after their hospital stay.

This Diploma Thesis focuses on the sexuality education in the public schools of Nicaragua. Comprehensive sexuality education constitutes a system of medical and educational methods, which help to teach broad number of aspects of human sexuality. The materials for the study were gathered during a student internship in Nicaragua between February-March, 2018. The answers of all 200 participants were processed in Statistica. The results of the research illustrate a common attitude toward the need to implement more sexuality education content (81% of the respondents). It emphasizes the role of teachers and family members in adolescents` formation. As stated by 31% of the students, abstinence is taught foremost, and as the primary method of sexually transmitted diseases prevention. Furthermore, a relationship between gender and educational information was found; women are taught about abstinence more than men, 37% of women did not know about other methods of contraception except the abstinence. While the relationship between religiosity and sexual awareness is not relevant. The research also shows that most of the respondents (98%) are confident about their decisions on sexuality matters. and have a strong opinion on their sexual behaviour.
