Hjärtstopp uppstår när hjärtaktiviteten plötsligt upphör och kroppens olika organsystem  inte längre försörjs med blod. Om inte hjärt- och lungräddning samt andra åtgärder vidtas omedelbart kan detta tillstånd leda till plötslig död. I Sverige drabbas cirka 10 000 individer av hjärtstopp utanför sjukhus varje år, ungefär en av tio överlever. Tack vare “överlevnads kedjan” har antalet överlevande ökat. Sjuksköterskan kommer möta dessa patienter i olika vårdenheter, därför är det av betydelse att hen etablerar ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt i bemötandet eftersom hjärtstoppöverlevande uppvisar både fysiska och psykiska besvär till följd av hjärtstoppet som behöver uppmärksammas. Syftet med studien är att sammanställa och beskriva evidens om patienters upplevelser av att överleva ett hjärtstopp utanför sjukhus. Val av metod är en litteraturöversikt som grundar sig i elva studier av empirisk forskning med både kvalitativ och kvantitativ studiedesign. Resultatet genererade tre huvudteman och nio subteman. Slutsatsen är att hjärtstoppet upplevs som en traumatiserande och omvälvande händelse för den drabbade individen, eftersom den orsakar långvariga fysiska och psykiska funktionsnedsättningar. Den drabbade står inför existentiella utmaningar som ger upphov till psykiska besvär såsom ångest, depression och posttraumatisk stressyndrom. Hjärtstoppspatienter uttryckte att omställningen till vardagslivet var påfrestande på grund av informationsbrist som skulle ha hjälpt de att bättre förstå och hantera sina symtom. De efterfrågade en bättre individanpassad vård och uppföljning som tar större hänsyn till deras psykiska lidande eftersom detta kan bidra till snabbare återhämtning. Sjuksköterskan kan genom en personcentrerad vård uppenbara patientens behov och i samverkan med denne och sin närstående finna strategier som underlättar återhämtningen och ökar välbefinnandet. / Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart's activity suddenly stops, and the body's various organ systems are no longer supplied with blood. If cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other measures are not taken immediately, this condition can lead to sudden death. In Sweden, approximately 10,000 individuals suffer cardiac arrest outside of a hospital each year, approximately one in ten survives. Thanks to the "chain of survival", the number of survivors has increased. The nurse will meet these patients in different care units, therefore it is imperative that they establish a person-centered approach in the treatment because cardiac arrest survivors exhibit both physical and psychological problems as a result of the cardiac arrest that needs attention. The aim of the study is to compile and describe evidence about patient’s experiences of surviving a cardiac arrest outside a hospital. Choice of method is a literature review based on eleven studies of empirical research with both qualitative and quantitative study design. The results generated three main themes and nine subthemes. The conclusion is that cardiac arrest is experienced as a traumatizing and upheaval event by the affected individual, as it causes long-term physical and mental impairments. The sufferer faces existential challenges that give rise to psychological problems such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Cardiac arrest patients expressed that the transition to everyday life was stressful due to a lack of information that would have helped them better understand and manage their symptoms. They requested better individualized care and follow-up that takes greater account of their mental suffering because this can contribute to faster recovery. Through person-centred care, the nurse can identify the patient's needs and, in collaboration with the patient and their loved ones, find strategies that facilitate recovery and increase their well-being.

This paper uses a quantitative and qualitative approach to analyze whether the Swedishfitness clothing brand I Can I Will’s representation in their online shop corresponds with theirspoken concept of being a brand for everyone who works out regardless if you are training togain strength, change your looks or just because you enjoy it. The quantitative analysisinvestigates the models length compared to height statistics around the world, and theirclothing size relative to social norms about the ideal body. The qualitative analysis is basedon examining visual signs such as eye contact, body language, posture and fitting of clothing.These components are analyzed through a body positivity and gender perspective, usingtheories about representation, body positivism, the ideal body, gender roles, male gaze,advertising and commodities.Findings suggest that there is a lack of representation of different bodies in I Can I Will’sonline shop. The male models are exclusively tall and muscular and the female models aremostly thin or slim. The few times female representation of a larger size occurred, the modelsstill had the, according to society, ideal body. In the visual analysis, there was nothing thatcould be perceived as norm breaking as all of them are following the social structured genderroles. To summarize, the clothing companies representation does not correspond with itsspoken concept of addressing everybody who wants to train regardless of their looks, it seemslike they only like to address tall and already well-trained men and mostly slim women with abody shape where breasts and hips are wider than their waist.
