The number of elderly in society is increasing and therefore the number of people with dementia. They continue to live in their homes longer, which also increases the responsibility of district nurses. The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of district nurses to care for and have responsibility for the care of people with dementia in home care. The method chosen was a qualitative interview study. The method chosen was a qualitative interview study and content analysis was used for data processing. The results revealed five categories: Collaboration with other professionals and relatives, to have the possibility to develope in the professional role, a time-consuming work, inadequacy and anxiety and to provide security for the person with dementia. / Antalet äldre i samhället ökar och därmed antalet personer med demenssjukdom. De bor kvar i sina hem längre, då ökar även ansvaret på distriktssköterskorna. Syftet med studien var att beskriva distriktssköterskornas erfarenheter av att vårda och ha vårdansvaret för personer med demenssjukdom i hemsjukvård. Metoden som valdes var kvalitativ intervju studie och innehållsanalys användes vid databearbetning. I resultatet framkom fem kategorier: Samarbete med andra yrkesgrupper och anhöriga, att kunna utvecklas i yrket, ett tidskrävande arbete, otillräcklighet och oro och att skapa trygghet för personen med demenssjukdom.

Yes / Given the increasing challenges in academia since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is crucial to understand how work demands, life demands, and job resources affect the mental health of academic researchers. In extending the job demands-resources theory, the present study investigates the relationships between job resources, research work demand, life demand (i.e. caring responsibility), stress, loneliness and mental health among doctoral students and academics. The results from a secondary dataset of 4,563 academic researchers (academics undertaking research and doctoral students) in the UK indicate that job resources are positively associated with mental health, while caring responsibility and loneliness are negatively impacted mental health. Stress is also found to partially mediate (explains) the relationships between job resources, research work demand, and mental health. Moreover, loneliness moderates the positive impact of job resources on mental health, particularly attenuating this relationship for academic researchers who experience higher levels of loneliness. Surprisingly, during Covid-19, the moderation effect of gender on the path from caring responsibility to stress is significantly stronger for males than for female colleagues. Feeling unprepared, male colleagues who were pressured to take on caring responsibilities experienced higher stress. We suggest strategic interventions to enhance job resources and support researchers who have caregiving responsibilities, while also alleviating stress and feelings of loneliness. Future research should engage alternative perspectives at both individual (e.g., age, familial wealth) and institutional (e.g., education system, discipline/field) levels.
