The purpose of the study was to create an increased knowledge and understanding of young adults’ experiences from growing up as a child in a family with alcohol abuse, as well as studying long-term consequences of this. In the study five qualitative interviews were conducted, with young adults who grew up with a parent who abused alcohol. The results of the study were analyzed by Bronfenbrenner's developmental ecological model, as well as by the theoretical concepts risk, protective factors and resilience. Results and conclusions showed, that all informants experienced negative consequences during childhood and in adult life, due to the parent’s abuse. The families of the informants were characterized by an abnormal use of alcohol during their childhood, which led to a high level of conflict, lack of relationships, a major responsibility at home for the informants, negative health effects and school difficulties. The young adults stated, that they are living a good life today, but that childhood has made its mark in their minds. The informants narrated experienced health problems, difficulties with feeling trust and expressing how they feel as well as a lack of relation to the parent with addiction. / Studiens syfte var att skapa en ökad kunskap och förståelse för unga vuxnas erfarenheter att som barn växa upp i en familj med alkoholmissbruk, samt att studera långtidskonsekvenser av detta. I studien genomfördes fem kvalitativa intervjuer med unga vuxna, som vuxit upp med en förälder som missbrukat alkohol. Studiens resultat analyserades genom Bronfenbrenners utvecklingsekologiska modell samt begreppen risk- och skyddsfaktorer och resiliens. Resultat och slutsatser visade att samtliga informanter upplevt negativa konsekvenser under barndomen och i det vuxna livet, till följd av förälderns missbruk. Informanternas familjer karaktäriserades under uppväxten av ett onormalt bruk av alkohol, vilket medförde en hög konfliktnivå, bristande relationer, ett stort ansvarstagande hemma för informanterna, negativa hälsoeffekter och skolsvårigheter. De unga vuxna uppgav att de idag lever ett bra liv, men att barndomen har satt sina spår. Informanterna berättade om upplevda hälsoproblem, svårigheter med tillit och att uttrycka känslor samt en bristande relation till föräldern med missbruk.

Text in Afrikaans / The purpose of this study was to determine the nature, origin and negative consequences of perfectionism and to set guidelines for the therapeutic handling of perfectionism. Two literature studies were done to investigate the phenomenon and therapeutic techniques with regards to perfectionsim. A questionnaire was developed as aid to the therapist to identify negative perfectionism and associated problem areas. An empirical study was done to investigate the effectivity of the questionnaire and to compose a program and guidelines for the therapist and perfectionist. Results of the study indicated that negative perfectionism resulted in affective, cognitive, interpersonal and behavioural consequences for the client. It further showed that it is necessary to find the origin of the client's perfectionism and to give them insight in their problem to enable the therapist to succesfully apply cognitive behavioral therapy. / Educational Studies / M.

Employees who stay home from work because of mental illness are an increasing number in Sweden. One of the reasons may be the increasing demands on the employees. The purpose of this essay is to investigate the legal context about the employers responsibility with regard to rehabilitation, and also to investigate what happens, mentally and economically, with the employee on a sick leave. The responsibility is wide and the consequences are many. To fulfill the purpose the legal method have been used.   If an employee becomes ill, the employer is responsible to start a rehabilitation. If  the employee is unable to go back to the same work tasks as before, the employer must investigate whether the employee can be of any other use to the employer or not. To let an employee go due to his/her mental illness should only be done as a last resort.   The sick leave may have negative influences for the employee, one example is that the mental illness can be even worse. A sick leave can also involve an economic insecurity, therefore many employees work even if they are ill. / <p>1381</p>

Bakgrund: Ett problem som ofta uppstår i mötet mellan vårdpersonal och invandrare som inte kan det inhemska språket i olika delar av världen är språkbarriärer. Syfte: Litteraturöversikten har som syfte att beskriva språkbarriärer mellan invand- rare och vårdpersonal med dess följder och hantering. Metod: Kvalitativ metod användes och datainsamling gjordes genom läsning av ve- tenskapliga artiklar som handlade om språkbarriärer i olika delar av världen. Efter kvalitetsgranskning användes 14 artiklar i resultatet. Fribergs femstegsmodell använ- des som modell när data analyserades. Resultat: Språkbarriärer som uppstår påverkar vårdens kvalité negativt och leder till försvårad kommunikation, vilket i sin tur leder till bristande information. Det skapar missförstånd och vårdpersonalen upplever oro, stress och frustration. Den bristande kommunikationen leder även till att det blir svårare för vårdpersonalen att skapa en relation med den vårdsökande. Vårdpersonalen använder sig av tolkar, den vårdsökan- des närstående, flerspråkig vårdpersonal och icke verbal kommunikation för att kunna hantera språkbarriärer. Slutsats: För att vårdpersonal ska kunna ge den vårdsökande en säker och god vård måste språkbarriärer hanteras. Vårdpersonalen ska så långt det går undvika att den stress, oro och frustration som skapas, tar över situationen. Istället bör vårdpersonalen använda sig av olika strategier och göra sitt bästa för att hantera problemet. / Background: A problem that often occuring in the interaction between health care workers and immigrants not speaking the native language are language barriers. Aim: This literature review aims to describe language barriers between immigrants and health care workers with the consequences and management, health professional’s perspective. Method: Qualitative method was used and data collection was done by reading scien- tific articles about language barriers in different parts of the world. After doing a qual- ity review, the authors could use 14 articles in the result. For analysis of data, the au- thors used Fribergs five step model. Results: Language barrier affects health care quality negatively. Language barriers lead to difficulties with communication, creating a lack of information for both parties. This could cause misunderstandings and also lead to anxiety, stress and frustration for health care workers. Lack of communication prevents creating good relationships. Health care workers use interpreter, relatives and health care workers who know two or more languages to overcome the language barrier. Conclusion: For a safe and good care, language barriers must be dealt with. Health care workers should avoid stress, anxiety and frustration. Different strategies should be used to handle the situation.

Killing in role-playing video games is often a prominent feature. Most of the times, the characters killed are nameless criminals or minions of the true antagonist and if the game wants the player to kill, the player will most probably kill. This research was conducted to see how a dynamic narrative could affect a player’s choice of whether or not to kill expendable adversaries when a choice was provided. Participants played an interactive narrative in two different versions, followed by interviews, to see how narrative consequences and mechanisms for moral disengagement affected the players’ choices. The results showed that the choice of whether or not to kill could be affected if the narrative is dynamic and the non-playable characters reflect upon the choices made. Future studies should be conducted to see how graphics and sound affect the choices, and to see if it might be the mere choice in itself that affects the players the most.

The present study aimed to examine the relationship between national culture and organizational innovation, sustainable leadership (SL), and leaders’ consideration of future consequences (CFC), based on Hofstede’s cultural dimensions. An online survey was developed and sent out to employees of private organizations located in Greece and Sweden. Analysis of the data collected from 133 participants indicated that: (a) national culture is marginally significantly associated to perceived workplace innovation; (b) national culture is not significantly related to SL based on employees’ perceptions; and (c) national culture is not significantly related to perceived leaders’ CFC. Contrary to previous research that examined the culture-innovation relationship on a national level, the results of this study suggest that national culture is not strongly related to organizational level innovation, although it is significantly related to two of its examined dimensions: creativity and lack of organizational impediments. Moreover, the results indicated that SL and leaders’CFC are not significantly related to national culture, although four of the dimensions of SL varied significantly between the two examined countries. Practical implications, limitations of the study and future suggestions are discussed.

This study employed an experimental design to test the effects of exposure to televised portrayals of differing types of negative consequences of casual sex on emerging adults' sexual beliefs, attitudes, and behavioral intentions. Male and female undergraduates were randomly assigned to one of three viewing conditions. Participants either viewed a program that portrayed negative emotional/social consequences of casual sex (i.e., guilt, regret, embarrassment, disapproval of family and friends), a negative physical consequence of casual sex (i.e., an unplanned/unwanted pregnancy), or a program without any sexual content. Outcomes were assessed immediately after exposure. Five outcome variables were examined: negative outcome expectancies of risky sex, attitudes toward casual sex, attitudes toward condoms, behavioral intentions to avoid casual sex, and behavioral intentions to use condoms. Driven by social cognitive theory, hypotheses address expected differences among the three conditions on these five outcome variables.Hypotheses about the expected effects of portrayals of negative consequences of casual sex were not confirmed. Results indicate that exposure to negative consequences of casual sex on television does not uniformly influence emerging adults' sexual beliefs, attitudes, and behavioral intentions. Rather, the relationship between exposure and subsequent effects was found to be moderated by their sexual risk experience. Emerging adults with different amounts of sexual risk experience responded differently to the experimental stimuli. Participants who had extensive sexual risk experience were not influenced by the stimuli. However, effects of exposure to the negative consequence conditions were identified among participants who had little to moderate amounts of sexual risk experience. Both the negative physical and emotional/social consequence conditions led these participants to report safer sex outcomes. Findings imply that portrayals of both negative emotional/social and negative physical consequences of casual sex on television have the potential to positively influence the sexual attitudes and behavioral intentions of young people who do not already have substantial sexual risk experience.

2800 kvinnor i Sverige insjuknar i gynekologisk cancer årligen. Vanliga behandlingsmetoder är kirurgi, strål- och cytostatikabehandling. Behandlingarna har visat fysisk och psykisk påverkan och att kvinnor med gynekologisk cancer oroar sig i större grad än andra patienter med andra cancerformer. Syftet var att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser efter avslutad behandling av gynekologisk cancer. Uppsatsen genomfördes som en litteraturstudie där 12 artiklar analyserades. Resultatet visar att kvinnorna upplever att de fortfarande bär på sjukdomen efter behandlingen, på grund av behandlingarnas effekter på det vardagliga livet. Upplevelser av oro för återfall, förändrad kroppsbild, negativ påverkan på fertiliteten och bristfällig information av vårdpersonal var svårt att hantera. Fortsatta uppföljningar och utförligare information, angående symtom, biverkningar och behandlingar, av sjuksköterska hade varit fördelaktigt för kvinnorna för att minska oro och förbättra livskvaliteten.
