Ronald McDonald Hus är en ackommodering som ger familjer med sjuka barn möjlighet att kunna bo och uppleva en hemlik miljö samtidigt som deras barn vårdas på sjukhuset. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det förelåg något samband mellan vistelsens längd på Ronald McDonald Hus och hur nöjda föräldrarna var avseende den fysiska och psykosociala boendemiljön. Vistelsens längd i denna studie definierades som “mindre än tre nätter” och “mer än tre nätter.” Metoden var en komparativ och kvantitativ enkätstudie. Konsekutivt urval användes för att rekrytera deltagare. I studien deltog 34 föräldrar som bodde på Ronald McDonald Hus under sommaren och hösten 2014. Efter internt bortfall återstod 27 föräldrar varav 14 hade bott mindre än tre nätter och 13 mer än tre nätter. Insamlad data analyserades med hjälp av Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Resultatet visade att samtliga deltagare skattade den fysiska miljön på Ronald McDonald Hus högt. Majoriteten av deltagarna upplevde den psykosociala boendemiljön på Ronald McDonald Hus som positiv. Det förelåg inget signifikant samband mellan vistelsens längd och hur nöjda föräldrarna var med den fysiska och psykosociala boendemiljön på Ronald McDonald Hus. Slutsatsen är att Ronald McDonald Hus är betydelsefullt för familjer med sjuka barn. Detta boende har en positiv påverkan på hela familjens tillvaro. Familjer är i stor utsträckning nöjda med den fysiska boendemiljön på Ronald McDonald Hus.

Abstract Background: Families with sick children are expressing the needs of accommodation near the hospital, in order to be close to their children and be together as a family. Aim: To investigate how parents experienced the hospitality and the environment at the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) in Uppsala and how they feel their children have experienced the stay. Method: Descriptive qualitative interview study. Five parents who lived with their family at RMH between 2013- 2014 have been interviewed with a semi-structured approach. A qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach according to Graneheim and Lundman (2003) was conducted on a manifest level. Results: RMH made the families’ situation easier. RMH met their needs of a homelike environment where they could be themselves; be together and maintain everyday routines. Respect and fellowship prevailed in the house. The families’ received support from RMH, both from other families and the staff. The staff was helpful and as fellow human beings and drew attention to all the children. RMH is a place where kids can play and have fun with other children. Staying at RMH made it more fun to go to the hospital. The kids developed when they lived with other families. The sick children were able to share experiences and strategies with children in similar situation. Conclusion: Parents at RMH experienced the environment and the hospitality at RMH as very positive. There's a need to expand the business because of demand exceeding supply. Rooms that relatives can rent for a couple of nights for an affordable sum would be appreciated. / SAMMANFATTNING Bakgrund: Familjer med ett sjukt barn uttrycker behov av boende nära sjukhuset, för att kunna vara nära sitt barn och vara tillsammans hela familjen. Syfte: Att undersöka hur föräldrar upplevde bemötandet och miljön på Ronald McDonald Hus (RMH) i Uppsala och hur de upplevde att deras barn upplevde vistelsen. Metod: Deskriptiv kvalitativ intervjustudie. Fem föräldrar som bott med sin familj på RMH mellan 2013-2014 intervjuades med semistrukturerad metod. En kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats enligt Graneheim och Lundman (2003) utfördes på manifest nivå. Resultat: RMH uppfyllde familjernas behov av en hemlik miljö, där de kunde vara sig själva, vara tillsammans och bibehålla rutiner. RMH var en barnvänlig plats där barnen kunde leka och ha roligt med andra barn. Det blev roligare för barnen att åka till sjukhuset när de bodde på RMH. Respekt och gemenskap rådde på huset. Familjerna fick stöd, både från andra familjer och personalen. Personalen på RMH var hjälpsamma medmänniskor, och uppmärksammade alla barnen. Barnen utvecklades av att bo med andra familjer. De sjuka barnen träffade andra barn i liknande situation och kunde utbyta erfarenheter och strategier. RMH gjorde familjernas situation lättare. Slutsats: Föräldrar på RMH upplevde miljön och bemötande där väldigt positivt. Det är platsbrist på RMH, då många familjer har behov av att bo på denna typ av boende. Det är därför av betydelse att utöka verksamheten. Rum där släktingar kan hyra in sig i någon natt för en överkomlig summa skulle uppskattas.

The purpose of the following study is to make to stylistic analysis, on the basis of form, harmony, melody, and rhythm, of the Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra by Harl McDonald, a twentieth-century American composer. When a composer begins the composition of a concerto he is faced with a series of specific problems, e.g., the degree of prominence to be given the soloist in relation to the orchestra, the technique of the solo instrument, the traditional first movement sonata form, and the balance between solo and orchestra in regard to tone color and sound mass. By determining the elements of style typical of this particular work, the investigator aims to set forth in a general way to how the composer treated each of the problems stated above.The concerto for Two Pianos was selected for study because of its modernity and because of the writer's active interest in works for this medium.
