Detta arbete har syftat till att ta reda på vad som är viktigt att tänka på vid utformning av instruktioner för CAD-användare. Som praktikfall har en studie gjorts på Volvo IT där deras instruktioner för CAD/CAM/CAE-systemet CATIA V5 har granskats. Undersökningen mynnade ut i en användarstudie där erfarna användare av systemet fick möjlighet att diskutera den support som finns i dagsläget samt ställa krav på framtida instruktioner. Kraven som togs fram har legat till grund för riktlinjer för hur morgondagens instruktioner skulle kunna göras mer användaranpassade. Några områden som är viktiga att ta hänsyn till är bland annat: att ta tillvara på användarnas erfarenhet, involvera användarna vid framtagandet av instruktionerna, ta reda på hur instruktionenrna läses samt skapa rubrikter som underlättar informationssökning för användarna.

Masters of Philosophy / In today's society, the misdiagnosis of school-age children with the neurological condition Child Absence Epilepsy (CAE) as having Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has a low profile. This may be because of the lack of popular awareness of CAE. The increasing social salience towards the neuropsychological condition of ADHD places these children at risk of experiencing high psychosocial effects. Many symptoms of CAE are also associated with ADHD. However if the condition is misdiagnosed as ADHD, the child with CAE is often mistreated, both medically and socially until the correct diagnosis is made. There is little research available on the psychosocial effects of the misdiagnosis of epilepsy as ADHD, and none available relating to CAE. This research study uses case study methodology to focus on how children with CAE are psychosocially affected at the time of the misdiagnosis of ADHD and subsequently. It also explores the experiences of their parents. An in-depth interview method was adopted to gather the personal recollections of these effects directly from the ten participants in this study. The participants were found with the assistance of Epilepsy Australia and constituted one adolescent from five different families who had experienced the sequence of events and effects under investigation, and a parent (guardian) who cared for these children during this period. The findings of this research indicate that as a result of labelling, these children were misjudged in their communities, leaving strong psychosocial effects on each of the child participants who had previously been misdiagnosed with ADHD. These effects include low self-esteem, insecurity and fear experienced most often in the company of peers. As a result, when reaching adulthood, most of these participants chose to isolate themselves from social contact whenever possible. The findings offer a basis for further research in the area.
