Abstrakt Bakgrund Hjärtstopp är förknippat med hög dödlighet. Eftersom antalet överlevare ökar är det betydelsefullt att få en förståelse för vilken typ av hälsoproblematik och livskvalitet som överlevare innehar. Syfte Syftet är att beskriva självskattade hälsoproblem hos personer som överlevt hjärtstopp. Metod En systematisk litteraturstudie genomfördes och resultatet baseras på 12 kvantitativa vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat I resultatet framgick fysiska-, psykiska och sociala hälsoproblem hos hjärtstoppsöverlevare. De mest framträdande problemen var smärta, trötthet, ångest och depression samt problematik att delta i samhället som exempelvis, att återgå till arbetet efter hjärtstopp. Flera faktorer tycks påverka överlevares hälsoproblematik. Slutsats Studien visade på fysiska, mentala och sociala hälsoproblem som till viss del samvarierade. Det fanns också stora individuella skillnader mellan överlevare som delvis kunde förklaras av ålder, kön och personlighetsfaktorer. I syfte att förbättra överlevares hälsa bör eftervården inriktas på att identifiera den enskildes hälsoproblem och individualisera vården utifrån dessa. Nyckelord Hjärtstopp, överlevare, hälsa, livskvalitet, eftervård. Tack Ett stort tack till Johan Israelsson för all stöttning och ditt stora engagemang.

Background: Sexual abuse is a highly distressing traumatic experience that negatively affects the lives of sexual abuse survivors. The number of individuals who reported sexual abuse has increased, which makes it a public and global concern. As a result, survivors of sexual abuse turn to counselling to cope with the traumatic impacts. Counsellors, psychotherapists, and psychologists engage in deep and meaningful explorations of the sexual abuse in order to support survivors. However, very little is known about the impacts and coping strategies involved in this type of work. Objectives: The objective of this study, therefore, was to explore the experiences of UK-based counselling professionals who counsel survivors of sexual abuse. The research questions were as follows: 1. What is the impact of counselling survivors of sexual abuse? and 2. What self-care strategies and coping techniques have been beneficial when counselling survivors of sexual abuse? Method: An inductive qualitative design was used for the purposes of this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twelve UK-based counselling professionals who provided counselling to individuals who had experienced sexual abuse. The collected data were then analysed using thematic analysis. Findings: The themes developed from the first research question revealed a number of ways in which counselling survivors of sexual abuse affected counselling professionals. Three main themes emerged from the data analysis: work-related impacts, impacts on personal wellbeing and relationship impacts. These themes encompassed a total of fourteen sub-themes. Another two main themes were developed when exploring participants' self-care techniques and coping strategies: holistic self-care and work environment selfcare. Both of these main themes incorporated twelve more sub-themes. These are introduced and outlined in depth in turn. Conclusions: This research has provided a unique insight into the impacts and coping strategies of UK-based counselling professionals working with survivors of sexual abuse. The findings suggest that the counsellors experienced a number of negative impacts, some of which were perceived as traumatic in nature. Further, the impacts were not limited to the counsellors themselves; partners, children, extended family, and friends were also affected by the work. Such far-reaching impacts of sexual trauma have not been sufficiently explored previously. Contrary to the negative tendencies expressed in the research literature, some of the findings indicate positive aspects, such as high job satisfaction and evolved personal growth. The findings of this study provide a rare insight into the useful self-care techniques and copings strategies specific for counselling survivors of sexual abuse. Although the strategies are similar to those used in other areas of counselling, they emphasize organisational and educational responsibilities to support counsellors' wellbeing. Suggestions are proposed for research, educational, organisational, and ethical developments.

Comment et pourquoi les plans sociaux successifs impactent-ils les dynamiques sociales des acteurs sur l’ensemble de ses processus temporels ? La recherche s’interroge notamment sur les logiques et les résultats obtenus par les entreprises dans les processus de négociation avec les institutions représentatives du personnel (IRP) et les salariés dans les changements organisationnels post plan social. Nous présentons une analyse des processus de négociation, avant d’examiner le processus de rejet des salariés survivants lors des consultations, allant jusqu’à une démotivation sociale. Nous montrerons pourquoi ces deux processus sont parfois contraires et témoignent d’une démotivation sociale des salariés survivants. Plusieurs études de cas serviront de fil rouge à l’illustration de ces dysfonctionnements / How and why do successive social plans impact the social dynamics of the actors on all of its temporal processes ? The research questions the logic and results of companies in the process of negotiation with the representative bodies (IRP) and employees in organizational change post PSE. We present an analysis of the negotiation process, before considering the rejection process of surviving employees during the consultation, up to a social motivation shared by. We show why these two processes are sometimes contrary and demonstrate a social motivation survivors employees. Several case studies will be used as thread for the illustration of these problems

Cancer patients worldwide receive care from multidisciplinary teams, and patients sometimes have little or no knowledge about the different treatment options available, making communication with their care providers an important influence in how they perceive their care. Patient satisfaction with care is an important factor in determining survivorship. The increasing prevalence of cancer worldwide has become a huge public health issue. The World Health Organization has warned that the potential gains from combatting infectious diseases in Nigeria might be lost because of the increasing prevalence of cancer. The purpose of this grounded theory study was to obtain the perceptions of 30 cancer survivors in Nigeria about their care in federally funded hospitals to improve cancer care in the country. Through a constructivist grounded theory (CGT) approach, data from 30 in-depth interviews with the cancer survivors were analyzed. Data analysis included open coding, selective coding, theoretical coding, and memo writing. Three themes emerged from the data analysis: positive perception of care (P), service improvement (S), and good care experience (G), all of which were cyclically related to form the PSG substantive theory, which indicates that better health care to cancer patients will improve preventative and curative cancer care services in Nigeria. This theory was validated by relating it to 3 theories in the literature as recommended in CGT research. The implication for positive social change is that the results might provide information that can help health care professionals to improve how they communicate with, relate to, and care for cancer patients and their families in Nigeria and other countries.

Throughout history, the media's rendering of slavery depicts vulnerable groups caught in a network of trafficking looking for a better life. Scholars of trafficking cite challenges in understanding the health care needs of domestic forced labor trafficking survivors in the United States. Seminal trafficking findings have shown that variations of trafficking affect the survivors' health after surviving trafficking. Therefore, in this qualitative, narrative inquiry I sought to understand how 8 survivors of forced labor trafficking, ages 25 years and older, described their health following trafficking beyond 5 years. The theory of social constructionism constituted the theoretical foundation, and the salutogenic model of health is the conceptual framework. The research questions for the study focused on understanding how adult survivors described experiences of entering and exiting trafficking, and their physical health, post-trafficking involvement. Criterion sampling facilitated identifying survivors of forced labor trafficking. Semi-structured interviewing guided the survivors' narrative storytelling. For analyzing the narratives, I used Braun and Clarke's Thematic Analysis strategy. The results of the pilot and main study showed that survivors suffer from an array of ongoing cognitive and general health concerns beyond surviving trafficking. The findings suggest that these ongoing health conditions influenced survivors' well-being beyond surviving trafficking. The results of the study may lead those in the medical field (e.g. health administrators) to identify other conditions influencing survivors' health after surviving trafficking.

Children of Holocaust survivors are vulnerable to experiencing secondary trauma which typically manifests in emotional and psychological difficulties. Despite,their exposure to a traumatized family environment, many children of Holocaust survivors do not develop emotional or adaptive difficulties. Some demonstrate psychological resilience, reflected by their ability to adapt,to adversity and problems. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into how well-adjusted,middle aged children of Holocaust survivors developed and maintained resilience.In line with resilience theory,which explains how an individual bounces back from negative circumstances, the research questions for this study examined the factors that the participants used to develop and maintain tesilience. The sample for this study included 13 middle aged children of Holocaust survivors who described themselves as well-adjusted. The researcher collected data by conducting in-depth interviews and qualitatively analyzed the data using the modified van Kaam method of phenomenological analysis. Results showed that well-adjusted children of Holocaust survivors managed and maintained resiliency through middle age by incorporating lessons learned from their parents, including the notion that nothing can keep a person down. These findings contributed to the body of knowledge on trauma prevention and may be useful to social service providers and organizations that seek to aid individuals' development of resiliency in the,wake of traumatic experiences.
