The aim of the study was to explore non-compliance with T.B. treatment amongst T.B. patients at Moreteletsi Hospital. Due to the nature of the data that was needed the phenomenological strategy as a research strategy / design was used. Interviewing was used as a method of data collection and 20 T.B. patients at Moreteletsi Hospital were interviewed. The medical aspects of T.B. were discussed with emphasis on: what T.B. is, how it is diagnosed, T.B. treatment as well as social work intervention with patients. The patients indicated that members of the community are not supporting them. They further mentioned that western medicines have side effects on them and that the health centres are far from them. It was established that it is difficult for many T.B. patients to understand the causes of T.B. as they are explained from the western medical orientation because they associate T.B. with witchcraft. There are several factors that cause patients not to comply with medical treatment with the dominant one being the strong belief in traditional medicine. The community should be educated to emotionally support the patients. A holistic approach in the form of bio-psychosocial model can be of great benefit when used so that all the needs of the patients can be given attention. The research report was concluded by the conclusions and recommendations. / Dissertation (MA (SW) Health Care)--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Social Work and Criminology / unrestricted

Do atendimento a cardiopatas internados, criou-se a categoria vivência de perdas, desencadeada por evento(s) significativo(s) que implica no processo do luto. Segundo Freud (1916), o luto é um trabalho psíquico que requer um tempo para elaboração da perda e de transformação da realidade psíquica, desestruturada pela falta do objeto perdido. Entende-se que o luto é o correlato psicodinâmico da reação manifesta de depressão. Com estes fundamentos, esta pesquisa teve por objetivo geral: investigar vivência de perdas, estados de luto e de depressão. Foram avaliados 44 pacientes com os diagnósticos médicos de infarto agudo do miocárdio e angina, de 33 a 65 anos, 50% mulheres e 50% homens. Utilizados três instrumentos: entrevista semi-estruturada, para avaliação do luto; Inventário de Depressão de Beck, para depressão; Escala de Avaliação e Reajustamento Social de Holmes e Rahe, que avalia porcentagem de probabilidade de apresentar problemas de saúde. Os resultados foram relacionados através do programa Statistical Package for Social Sciences, versão 11.0. Apresenta estado de luto 65,9%, sendo significativas as relações entre: luto e depressão (p<0,05); luto e gênero (p=0,000); presente em 90,9% das mulheres; depressão e gênero (p<0,05). Os eventos significativos relatados com maior freqüência foram: morte de familiares, 47% ou de pessoa próxima, 13%. Também é significativa a relação estatística entre luto e quantidade de mortes relatadas por participante como evento significativo (p<0,05). Sugere vivência de perdas como indicativo de risco psicológico para doença arterial coronariana, apontando para a associação entre luto e depressão / Since the attendance of hospitalized cardiac patients was created the category experience of losses caused by significative(s) event(s) that implicated in the mourning process. According to Freud (1916), mourning is a psychic process that requires time for the loss elaboration and changing of the psychic reality, shaped by the lost object missing. Mourning is understood as a psychodynamic correlation of the manifested depression reaction. On this basis, this research aimed: investigate experience of losses, mourning and depression. 44 patients with medical diagnosis of severe heart attack and angina were evaluated, from 33 to 65 years old, 50% women and 50 % men. Three instruments were used: semi-structured interview for mourning evaluation; Beck Depression Inventory, for depression; Holmes and Rahe Social Readjustment Rating Scale, which evaluates the probability of presenting health problems. The results were treated by the software Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 11.0 . 65,9% presented state of mourning and the association between : mourning and depression were significative (p<0,05); mourning and gender (p=0,000), presented in 90,9% of the women; depression and gender (p<0,05). The significative events more frequently reported were: death of a relative 47%, or closer person 13%. It is also significative the statistical relation between mourning and deaths related by the participants as significative event (p<0,05). Experience of losses is suggested as indicative of psychological risk for coronary artery disease, highlighting the association with mourning and depression

Bakgrund: Ungefär 200.000 kvinnor i Sverige har endometrios. Endometriumet växer utanför livmodern och utvecklandet av endometrios kan orsakas av retrograd menstruation i kombination med hormonella faktorer, ärftlighet och ett nedsatt lokalt immunförsvar. Vanliga symptom är hög smärta, minskad fertilitet och nedsatt livskvalité. Behandlingen syftar till att uppnå god funktionsnivå med hanterbara symptom. Fysioterapeutiska åtgärder har prioritet 2. Syfte: Att undersöka upplevelsen av fysioterapeutisk behandling vid endometrios ur patienters och fysioterapeuters perspektiv. Metod: Sex semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes, tre med endometriospatienter och tre med fysioterapeuter. Datan analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Analysprocessen resulterade i fyra huvudkategorier: ”Anpassning utifrån den individuella patienten”, ”Syfte och effekt av behandling”, ”Känsloupplevelser och faktorer som bidrar till drivkraft och hopp” och ”Fysioterapeutens roll”. Den fysioterapeutiska behandlingen upplevdes sätta patientens behov i fokus genom individuell och anpassad behandling. Samstämmigt framkom att behandlingen upplevdes symptomlindra och frambringa skräckblandad förtjusning, men också hopp. Fysioterapeuten upplevdes ge trygghet och hjälp. Konklusion: Fysioterapi vid endometrios kan upplevas vara värdefull för att minska smärta och muskelanspänning samt för att hitta copingstrategier i vardagen. Fysioterapeuten upplevdes kunna få patienterna att känna sig hörda, sedda och hjälpta. / Background: In Sweden approximately 200.000 women have been diagnosed with endometriosis. Endometrial-like tissue is growing outside the uterus. The development of endometriosis could be multifactorial, caused by retrograde menstruation combined with hormonal factors, heredity and a weakened local immune system. Common symptoms are different variations of pain, infertility and decreased quality of life. The purpose of the treatment is to ensure a good level of functioning with manageable symptoms. Physical therapy is highly recommended when treating endometriosis. Purpose: To investigate the experiences of physical therapy treatment in endometriosis according to patients and physiotherapists. Method: Six semi-structured interviews were conducted, of which three were including patients with endometriosis and three were including physiotherapists. The data was analyzed through qualitative content analysis. Results: The analysis resulted in four main categories: “Adaptation based on the individual patient”, “Purpose and effect of the treatment”, “Emotional experiences and factors that contribute to power and hope” and “The role of the physiotherapist”. The physical therapy was perceived as focusing on the patient´s needs. It was unanimously agreed that the treatment reduced symptoms and could engender delight mingled with terror, but also hope. The physical therapy treatment was found to provide safety and assistance. Conclusion: Physical therapy in endometriosis can be experienced as valuable for reducing pain and muscle tension and for providing coping strategies in everyday life. The physiotherapist was found to be able to make the patients feel heard, seen and helped.

Lilja, A. & Topilina, G. “Att jobba manualstyrt kräver en god kompetens”. En intervjustudie om Intervju om anknytningsstil i Sverige. Examensarbete i socialt arbete 15 högskolepoäng. Malmö universitet: Fakulteten för hälsa och samhälle, institutionen för socialt arbete, 2019. Standardiserade bedömningsmetoder är en del av socialarbetares vardag. Enligt Socialstyrelsen ökar intresset för att använda standardiserade metoder och ett evidensbaserat arbetssätt inom socialt arbete i Sverige. Samtidigt finns bristfällig information om vilka metoder som anses vara evidensbaserade och vilka som inte är det. Denna studie fokuserar på Intervju om anknytningsstil (IAS) - en standardiserad bedömningsmetod som syftar till att kartlägga och mäta kvalitet på klientens nära relationer. IAS saknar enligt Socialstyrelsen evidens och utvärdering men används i barn- och familjehemsutredningar. Syftet med studien är att ur ett organisationsteoretiskt perspektiv undersöka hur socialarbetare använder IAS i det praktiska sociala arbetet med fokus på de yrkesverksammas uppfattning av metoden och metodens roll i arbetsprocessen. Studien syftar även till att undersöka vilken tilltro socialarbetare har till metoden och resultatet samt om metoden har någon påverkan på kontakten med klienten. För att uppfylla studiens syften har sju socialarbetare intervjuats som använder IAS i sitt arbete. Studiens resultat visar att trots metodens standardiserade utformning skiljer sig användandet både gällande syfte och utförande. Informanterna har skilda uppfattningar om vilka slutsatser som kan dras av IAS och hur metoden påverkar relationen till klienten. De flesta respondenter betvivlar att IAS är knuten till forskning och uttrycker att metoden inte är tillräckligt effektiv och tidsenlig. Samtidigt ser flera av informanterna tydliga fördelar med att använda IAS i sitt arbete. / Lilja, A. & Topilina, G. “You Need to Be Very Competent to Use the Standardised Methods”. An Interview Study of Adult Attachment Interview in Sweden. Degree project in Social Work. 15 högskolepoäng. Malmö University: Faculty of Health and Society, Department of Social Work, 2019. Standardized assessment methods are part of the everyday lives of social workers. According to Socialstyrelsen, the interest in using standardized methods and an evidence-based approach in social work in Sweden is increasing. At the same time there is insufficient information about which methods are considered to be evidence-based and which are not. This study focuses on Attachment Style Interview (ASI) - a standardized assessment method that aims to map out and measure the quality of the client's close relationships. According to Socialstyrelsen, ASI is lacking in both evidence and evaluation, yet is used in home assessments where children are concerned. The purpose of the study is to investigate, from an organizational theoretical perspective, how social workers use ASI in their practical work, focusing on the perception of professionals regarding the method and the role of the method within the work process itself. The study also aims to investigate what trust social workers have regarding the method and its results, and whether the method has any influence over/on the contact with the client. To fulfill the aims of the study seven social workers currently using ASI in their daily work have been interviewed. The results of the study show that, despite the standardized design of the method, the use differs both in terms of purpose and design. The informants have different opinions about what conclusions can be drawn from the ASI, and how the method affects the relationship with the client. Most respondents doubt that the ASI is linked to research, and state that the method is not sufficiently effective nor contemporary. Nevertheless, several of the informants agree on clear advantages in using ASI in their work.

Bakgrund: Enligt Tanzanias regering är ett av de första stegen för att uppnå målet om hälsa till alla, att tillse åtkomsten av tillräckligt med sjukvårdspersonal, med resurser nog att genomföra arbete av kvalité. För tillfället är dessa mål inte uppfyllda, och situationen är värre på landsbygden. På grund av bristen på professionell sjukvårdspersonal, speciellt i geografiskt avlägsna områden i Tanzania, måste sjuksköterskor ibland arbeta över sin utbildningsnivå. Syfte: Syftet var att utforska omvårdnadspersonals erfarenheter av att arbeta på landsbygden i Tanzania. Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie, baserad på sex semistrukturerade intervjuer med omvårdnadspersonal som arbetar på landsbygden. Textmaterialet analyserades genom en tematisk innehållsanalys. Resultat: Fem kategorier uppkom: Arbetssituationen, visar att omvårdnadspersonalen klarar att erbjuda all service genom att arbeta över sin utbildningsnivå. Tillgång till resurser, påvisar brist på personal, faciliteter, utrustning och medicin. Personalens mentalitet, visar att omvårdnadspersonalen var glad trots att de gav upp sitt privatliv för att jobba där. Landsbygdspopulation, beskrivs med att de besitter mindre kunskap om hälsa. Boendesituation, påvisar att omvårdnadspersonalen efterfrågade en plats nära arbetet att bo på. Konklusion: Omvårdnadspersonalen var nöjd med deras arbete på landsbygden i Tanzania, trots att de mötte svårigheter. De kunde ge all service på grund av att de kunde utföra varandras sysslor och arbetade då över sin4utbildningsnivå. Det kan argumenteras för att detta arbetssätt inte svarar för en säker och evidensbaserad sjukvård. / Background: According to the government in Tanzania, one of the first steps to achieve the goal of health is to ensure access to health care workers with enough resources and capacity to deliver quality care. Today these goals are not reached, and the situation is worse in rural areas. Due to the lack of professional health care workers in Tanzania, especially in geographic remote areas, nursing staff have to perform beyond their formal education level. Aim: The aim was to explore nursing staff’s experience regarding working in rural Tanzania. Method: A qualitative interview study design was used, based on eight semi-structured interviews with nursing staff working in rural areas in Tanzania. The data were analyzed by using thematic content analysis. Result: Five categories emerged: Working situation, which demonstrates how nursing staff manage to provide all the services through working beyond their education level. Access to resources, which indicates lack of staff, facilities, equipment and medicine. Staff mentality, which demonstrates that the nursing staff were happy, although giving up their personal life to work there. Rural population, which was described as a population with less knowledge about health. Living conditions, which showed that all nursing staff requested a place to stay close to the dispensary. Conclusion: The nursing staff was satisfied with their work in rural Tanzania, yet they faced difficulties. They could still provide all services, mainly by handling different tasks and by working over their formal level. It is arguable that this is not corresponding to a safe and evidence based healthcare.

abstract: The purpose of this document is to identify contemporary issues facing female-identifying professional trombonists today. Interviews were conducted with three prominent women in the international trombone community, including questions that sought to foster discussion on the extent to which their experience as professional trombonists was influenced by their gender. The topic of microaggressions emerged as significant, as it became clear throughout the interview process that these women experience microaggressions far more commonly than overt gender discrimination, as did the topic of coping mechanisms. The interview questions also sparked discussions of identity, self-motivation, and local cultural norms within the context of each woman’s musical career. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2020

Bakgrund Basal kroppskännedom (BK) används idag inom fysioterapin som behandlingsmetod för att öka kroppsmedvetenhet bland patienter. Det råder brist på solid kunskap om BK som behandlingsform samt fysioterapeuters erfarenheter kring hur interventionen används.  Syfte Att undersöka fysioterapeuters uppfattningar och erfarenheter av metoden BK och hur de använder sig av BK i sin kliniska vardag.   Metod Studie är av kvalitativ design. Fem fysioterapeuter intervjuades genom enskilda semistrukturerade intervjuer. Kvalitativ innehållsanalys användes för bearbetning av data. Resultat Utifrån insamlade data identifierades tre huvudkategorier: (1) Patienter som har svårt att vara i sin kropp gynnas av metoden, (2) fysioterapeuten och patienten gör övningarna tillsammans och (3) ökad medvetenhet om sambandet mellan kropp och sinne.  Konklusion: Studiens resultat visar att fysioterapeuterna uppfattar att metoden BK används för i princip alla tillstånd men är särskilt gynnsam för personer som lider av psykisk ohälsa och långvarig smärta. Fysioterapeuterna anser att det krävs mycket av både patienten och fysioterapeuten vid denna metod och att den därför skiljer sig från andra behandlingsmetoder. Målet med behandlingen är att skapa en balans mellan kropp och sinne. Fysioterapeuterna använder BK i huvudsakligen för att de har goda kliniska erfarenheter från metoden. / Background Basic body awareness therapy (BBAT) is used today in physiotherapy as a treatment method to increase body awareness among patients. There is a lack of solid knowledge about BBAT as a form of treatment and physiotherapists' experiences of how the intervention is used. Purpose Physiotherapist understandings and experiences with BBAT and how they use it in their clinical practices. Method The study is of a qualitative design. Five physiotherapists were interviewed separately. Qualitative content analysis was used for analyzing the data. Results Based on the collected data, three main categories were identified: (1) Patients who have difficulty being in their body benefit from the method, (2) The physiotherapist and the patient do the exercises together and (3) Increased awareness of the connection between body and mind. Conclusion The results of the study showed that the physiotherapists perceived that the BBAT method is used for basically all conditions, but is particularly favorable for people suffering from mental illness and long-term pain. The physiotherapists believe that this method requires a lot from both the patient and the physiotherapist and that it therefore differs from other treatment methods. The goal of the treatment is to create a balance between body and mind. The physiotherapists use BBAT mainly because of their good clinical experience from the method.
