Bakgrund: Det finns flera bakomliggande orsaker till att unga konsumerar alkohol. Lagar och förordningar finns till för att hindra minderåriga från att bruka alkohol. Trots detta har ett högt antal minderåriga ett riskbeteende relaterat till användningen av alkohol och dessa individer respekterar inte lagen. Skolsjuksköterskan har en betydande roll i preventionsarbetet mot minderårigas alkoholkonsumtion och använder flera strategier för att främja barn och ungas hälsa. Syfte: Att beskriva skolsjuksköterskans hälsofrämjande strategier mot minderårigas alkoholkonsumtion. Metod: En litteraturöversikt baserat på tio kvalitativa studier. Resultat: Två kategorier kunde urskiljas utifrån syftet: hälsosamtal och familjestrategier. Ur kategorin hälsosamtal urskiljs subkategorierna hälsoenkät och motiverande samtal. Dessa strategier har visat sig vara effektiva i det hälsofrämjande arbetet som skolsjuksköterskan utför. Ett bifynd presenteras i resultatet i form av hinder för de hälsofrämjande strategierna. Slutsats: De hälsofrämjande strategierna som skolsjuksköterskan använder i preventionsarbetet mot minderårigas alkoholkonsumtion är gynnsamma för att individanpassa arbetet och motivera till beteendeförändring. Många sociala hinder samt hinder i organisationen står i vägen för preventionsarbetet. Klinisk betydelse: Genom att studera skolsjuksköterskans hälsofrämjande strategier mot minderårigas alkoholkonsumtion åsyftar studien att kunna utveckla och uppmärksamma arbets-och preventionsstrategier. Detta för att skolsjuksköterskan ska kunna nå ut till de minderåriga som idag utvecklar ett riskbeteende relaterat till alkohol. / Background: There are several causes for the consumption of alcohol among young people. Laws and regulations aim to prevent minors from using alcohol. A high number of minors break the laws and have a risky lifestyle related to alcohol. The school nurse plays a significant role in this prevention and uses multiple strategies to promote children’s and young people’s health. Objective: To describe the school nurse's health promotion strategies against underage drinking. Method: A literature review based on ten qualitative articles. Results: Two categories could be identified based on the aim: health dialogue and family strategies. From the category health dialogue two subcategories where acknowledged: health survey and motivational intervening. These strategies have proven to be effective in health promotion performed by the school nurse. An incidental finding is presented in the results as barriers to health promotion strategies. Conclusion: The strategies that school nurses use as prevention to reduce alcohol drinking among minors is beneficial for individual targeting and to motivate behavioral change. Alcohol prevention from a school nurses perspective is challenging due to social and organizational obstacles. Clinical significance: By studying the school nurse health promotion strategies against underage drinking the study refers to develop and recognize work and prevention strategies. This is because the school nurse should be able to reach out to minors that today develop a risk behavior related to alcohol.

<p>Physical inactivity has become a global health concern and is among the 10 leading causes of death and disability. This has led to increased concern for chronic diseases of lifestyle (CDL).&nbsp / Studies have revealed that regular physical activity is effective in combating several CDL such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, hypertension and obesity. Physiotherapists are in a&nbsp / position to combat inactivity and effectively promote physical activity to their clients. Studies however have shown that participation in physical activity among physiotherapists could have an&nbsp / impact on the promotion of physical activity and their health practices. This study therefore sought to establish the relationship between physical activity levels of physiotherapists and their&nbsp / physical&nbsp / activity promotion strategies and barriers to promoting physical activity. Sequential Mixed Method Design was used in this study. Data was collected by means of a self administered&nbsp / questionnaire and a total of 92 physiotherapists voluntarily answered the questionnaire. A focus group discussion comprising of 10 purposively selected physiotherapists was conducted. The&nbsp / questionnaire assessed physical activity levels&nbsp / and physical activity promoting strategies of the participants while the focus groupdiscussion looked at the barriers to promoting physical&nbsp / activity. The Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 18 was used for data capturing and analysis. Descriptive statistics were employed to summarize demographic information&nbsp / as means, standard deviation, frequencies and percentages. Inferential statistics (chi-square) was used to test the associations between different categorical variables (p&lt / 0.05). For the qualitative data, focus group discussions were used to collect data. Tape recorded interviews were transcribed verbatim, field notes typed, sorting and arranging data was done and themes&nbsp / &nbsp / were generated. Thematic analysis was then done under the generated themes. Ethical issues pertaining to informed consent, anonymity, confidentiality and the right to withdraw from the&nbsp / study were respected in this current study. The findings in the current study revealed that a big number of the participants were physical active both at work and recreation domains. However,&nbsp / there was no statistically significant association between physical activity and the demographicvariables. The results in this study revealed that the majority of participants were good&nbsp / physical activity promoting practices, although there was no significant association between physical activity levels and the physical activity promoting practices. The finding in this study revealed that discussing physical&nbsp / activity and giving out information regarding physical activity to their clients were the most common methods used in promoting physical activity. However, participants also highlighted barriers they&nbsp / ace in promotion of physical activity such as policies on physical activity, cultural influence, nature of work, time management as well as environmental barriers. The study demonstrates the&nbsp / need for all stakeholders to come up with solutions to break the barriers to promotion of physical activity. In return it will bring about enormous health&nbsp / benefits to the general population.</p>

Syftet med studien var att skapa insikt och förståelse kring hur chefer arbetar hälsofrämjandeför att öka medarbetarnas välmående då ohälsa på arbetsplatsen har negativa konsekvenserför både organisationer och samhället (ISM, 2022a). Metoden som användes var en kvalitativstudie med semistrukturerade intervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod. Åtta intervjuergenomfördes där kriteriet för deltagande var en chefsposition. Det transkriberade materialetbearbetades med hjälp av en tematisk analys där en kombination av en induktiv samt deduktivansats skapade tre huvudkategorier: beskrivning av hälsofrämjande arbete, hälsofrämjandestrategier samt chefers förutsättningar. Slutsatsen var att chefer är nyckelpersoner iorganisationernas hälsofrämjande arbete där cheferna visade sig stå bakom vad och hurmycket hälsofrämjande arbete som genomfördes utöver det systematiska arbetsmiljöarbetet,där många chefer implementerade egna strategier för att främja medarbetarnas hälsa. Dechefer som använde tillgängliga resurser visade på ett högre eget välmående med bättreförutsättningar att driva organisationens hälsofrämjande arbete än de chefer som inteutnyttjade tillgängliga resurser. Denna studie visar även på att chefers kunskap om hälsa ochvälmående, eget intresse samt engagemang är faktorer som har en positiv påverkan påimplementering och hållbarheten av hälsofrämjande initiativ.
