Patienter med ögonsjukdomar är en stor patientgrupp som förväntas öka, då många av sjukdomarna är åldersrelaterade och befolkningen i världen blir allt äldre. Ett stort antal av patienterna kommer att förekomma på olika vårdavdelningar där de vårdas av annan orsak. Omvårdnad är sjuksköterskans huvudansvar och hennes profession medför att riktlinjer och lagar ska följas i samband med yrkesutövning. Syftet med pilotstudien var att undersöka sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att ge omvårdnad till inneliggande patienter med olika ögonsjukdomar i anamnesen. Pilotstudien genomfördes med en kvalitativ metod och datainsamlingen skedde genom intervjuer. Data analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet sammanställdes i tre kategorier: Att erfara bristfälligt ansvarstagande, Att erfara behov av prioriteringar och Att erfara okunskap om ögonsjukvård. Sjuksköterskorna erfor bristfälligt ansvarstagande och de ansåg omvårdnadsarbetet med patienter med olika ögonsjukdomar i anamnesen som svårt. De ansåg sig sakna tillräckligt med kunskap och arbetsbelastningen ledde till att de var tvungna att prioritera på ett sätt som inte gynnade patientgruppen. Sjuksköterskorna uttryckte ett behov av mer utbildning inom detta område. Mer kunskap skulle kunna bidra till att de upplevde en ökad trygghet i sin yrkesroll och leda till en högre patientsäkerhet. Pilotstudien visar att det finns förbättringspotential för att höja patientsäkerheten och som bör följas upp i en fullskalig studie. / Patients with ocular diseases are a large group which is expected to increase since many of the ocular diseases are age-related and world population is aging. These patients are found in various wards where they are inpatients because of other causes than ocular diseases. Nursing care is the nurse´s major responsibility and they are obliged to follow guidelines and laws regularizing their profession. The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate nurses´ experience of providing care for inpatients with any ocular disease, in their anamnesis. The pilot study was conducted using a qualitative content analysis using interviews. The results were compiled into three categories; Experiencing inadequate accountability, Experiencing the need for priorities, and Experiencing the ignorance of ophthalmology. The nurses in the pilot study experienced nursing care to patients with various eye diseases in history difficult. They thought they lacked sufficient knowledge and because of the workload which made them prioritize in a way which did not benefit the patients. The nurses expressed a need of more education in ophthalmic care. More knowledge would support them in experiencing an increased security in their profession and lead to improved patient safety. The pilot study shows that there is potential for improvement to enhance patient safety and should be followed up in a full scale study.

Background: Today, people tend to be less physically active than before, much because of thesociety we live in with cars and technology. Research shows a reduction in physical activity, even more with people who have some form of visual impairment. People visual impairment can experience limitations in everyday life such as not being able to get around or fear. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to identify motivational factors and perceived barriers in persons with visual impairment of physical activity habits. Method: The study is of a qualitative nature where 6 interviews have been made on persons with visual impairment. Result: The results of this study have been analyzed with help of the social cognitive theory; it's a theory where three themes are in focus, environment, behavior and personal factors. The result of the study has shown that the persons with visual impairment are physically active in some form, but all are not sufficiently active to reach the WHO’s recommendations. At the same time, the biggest motivation factors are from internal character, but some have external as a major motivation factor. However, it turned out that the primary goal for everyone was health, which is an internal motivational factor. As far as perceived obstacles are concerned, environment was the largest category of barrier, but also personal factors and behavior influenced in the results section. Conclusion: In summary, it can be said that there are many influencing factors about why a person with visual impairment is more or less active and what perceived obstacles exist. It could be due to geographical place of residence or what one has for psychological thinking. However, one cannot take away from the fact that the environment can often be adapted to make physical activity more accessible to everyone.
