Integration concerns everyone in society as a constantly on-going process of constructing belonging and participation as a member of the group. The common objective of the process for individuals is to increase their subjective wellbeing, according to their individual values. However, refugees undergo an extreme case of integration, with all aspects of their life being impacted at once. Therefore, to gain more knowledge about the integration process from the perspectives of individuals, nine qualitative interviews were conducted with Syrian refugees living in Switzerland. This thesis then mobilises the capability approach to conduct a thematic comparison. The analysis revealed a common pattern among all interviewees which builds up into a 5-stages integration model, experienced by all interviewees in the same chronological order. Nevertheless, the personal capabilities and opportunities vary, resulting in different strategies to deal with a same context and similar objectives at a specific stage.

The aim of this thesis was to study social workers’ coping strategies when confronted with a stressful work environment. The focus was on which coping strategies the social workers practiced when they felt overstrained in correlation with work demands. This paper was conducted with qualitative research using the theory Sense of coherence, literature search and semi-structed interviews. Six social workers working in social services were interviewed. We found that structure and explicitness conduced to decrease social workers stress level. Another finding was that social workers used coping strategies such as overtime work, to cope with their work stress. These strategies worked temporarily, but applying them over a long time was not sustainable. Other coping strategies were distance yourself from your clients. Expressing your feelings to your co-workers was a significative coping strategy.

Thesis (M. Ed.) -- University of Limpopo, 2016 / This study reflects on the teaching strategies that that teachers use to improve reading and writing in English FAL in the Acornhoek area of Mpumalanga Province. Since the study wanted to have an in-depth understanding of the strategies that teachers use to improve reading and writing, a qualitative methodology was used. It is within this methodology that a case study was adopted whereby three methods of data collection were used, namely: interviewing, observation and documents. Two schools were selected as sites for the study by means of purposive sampling. The participants interviewed included teachers and learners. The documents consulted included learners class work books, assignments and tests scripts. The researcher also observed lessons that were presented by the teachers. This study found that learners have difficulties in reading and writing, for example, they cannot punctuate, pronounce and spell words correctly. Furthermore, the study also found that teachers were not trained to deal with reading and writing difficulties. This is manifested by the strategies that they use to improve reading and writing, for example, lack of use of repetition which they claimed to use during interviews. KEY WORDS Reading, Writing, Difficulties, Strategies, Constraints, Improve

Anestesisjuksköterskan ansvarar för den perioperativa dialogen med patienten. En av anestesisjuksköterskans kärnkompetenser är att arbeta personcentrerat, det innebär att inte bara se till patientens fysiska behov utan även de psykiska samt att se patienten som en unik person. Forskning visar att de flesta patienter som ska genomgå en operation under generell anestesi upplever oro och att perioperativ oro kan leda till både postoperativa komplikationer och långvariga konsekvenser för patienten. Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka strategier anestesisjuksköterskan använder vid det perioperativa mötet för att lindra oro hos patienter som ska genomgå kirurgi och generell anestesi. Den metod som användes för att svara på forskningsfrågan var en systematisk litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats. Studien resulterade i fyra huvudkategorier: verbal kommunikation, icke-verbal kommunikation, personcentrerad vård och patientsäkerhet. Genom verbal kommunikation kunde anestesisjuksköterskan se till att patienten kände sig välinformerad och bekräftad. Med den icke-verbala kommunikationen kunde anestesisjuksköterskan få patienten att känna sig trygg och sedd genom omvårdnadshandlingar och samtidigt visa att hen fanns vid patientens sida. Genom att arbeta personcentrerat kunde anestesisjuksköterskan bevara autonomi, främja delaktighet och individanpassa vården. Genom att säkerställa patientsäkerheten genom kontroll av operationssal och högteknologisk utrustning samt avsätta tid för samtal så möjliggjorde det för anestesisjuksköterskan att känna sig trygg och därmed fokusera på att förmedla trygghet till patienten. Svårigheter i det perioperativa mötet kan uppstå vid tidsbrist, avsaknad av erfarenhet hos anestesisjuksköterskan, vid språkförbistringar samt om patienten har en kognitiv sjukdom. Vidare forskning behövs gällande patienternas upplevelser av de strategier som framkommit i studiens resultat.
