The impact that love has on a person is profound. This study examines the impact of coworker companionate love on well-being and retention within a rehabilitation organization. Additionally, this research project aims to analyze the effect of a supervisor's demonstration of companionate love. The purpose of this research project was to support and inform the transformation of organizational leaders, employees, and learning professionals by providing the necessary data to implement programs that develop the modern workforce. Participants were surveyed to learn about their perceptions of companionate love, retention perceptions, and well-being. The impact of companionate love within the rehabilitation organization suggested that a significant connection existed between companionate love and employee well-being. A relationship was apparent between companionate love and retention and was mediated by well-being. Supervisors who demonstrated companionate love to their direct reports exhibited a strong correlative relationship with employee well-being. These findings indicate the need for leadership training, mentoring, and coaching resources to support the development of companionate love in rehabilitation organizations.

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor ansvarar för att leda omvårdnadsarbetet, där omvårdnadsprocessen spelar en avgörande roll. Omvårdnadsprocessen säkerställer att sjuksköterskor ger högkvalitativ vård som är anpassad efter individens unika behov. Studier visar att nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskor har god teoretisk kunskap men saknar förmågan att tillämpa den i det kliniska arbetet. Syfte: Att beskriva nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att tillämpa omvårdnadsprocessen inom somatisk vård. Metod: En kvalitativ deskriptiv studie genomfördes med en induktiv ansats. Data samlades in genom tre semistrukturerade intervjuer och analyserades med Braun och Clarks tematiska analys. Resultat: Två teman identifierades: Arbetsmiljö och Omvårdnaden. Temana består av fyra underteman: arbetsmiljöns påverkan på omvårdnadsprocessen, samarbetets betydelse för omvårdnadsarbetet, från teori till praktik och prioritering av omvårdnaden. Slutsatser: Studien visar att tillämpningen av omvårdnadsprocessen kan vara utmanande för nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskor på grund av flera faktorer. Dessa faktorer är bland annat arbetsbelastning, tidsbrist, bristande samarbete och att inte tillåtas vara ny i professionen. För att säkerställa god tillämpning av omvårdnadsprocessen är det därför viktigt att förbättra arbetsmiljön, ge stöd under den första tiden som nyutexaminerad sjuksköterska och en ökad medvetenhet om vikten av att prioritera omvårdnadsarbete., Background: Nurses are responsible for leading nursing work, where the nursing process plays a crucial role. The nursing process ensures that nurses provide high-quality care that is personalized to the individual's unique needs. Studies show that newly graduated nurses have good theoretical knowledge but lack the ability to apply this knowledge in their clinical work. Purpose: To describe newly graduated nurses' experiences of applying the nursing process in somatic care. Method: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted using an inductive approach. Data was collected through three semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Braun and Clark’s thematic analysis. Results: Two themes were identified: work environment and nursing care. The themes consist of four subthemes: the influence of the work environment on the nursing process, the cooperation’s significance for the nursing work, from theory to practice and prioritising of nursing care. Conclusions: The study shows that the application of the nursing process can be challenging for newly graduated nurses due to several factors. These factors include heavy workload, insufficient time, lack of cooperation, and not being allowed to be new in the profession. Therefore, to ensure the effective application of the nursing process, it is crucial to improve the work environment, provide support during the initial period as a newly graduated nurse, and increase awareness of the significance of prioritizing nursing work.

Syfte: Syftet med vårt arbete är att genom en inventering av HRs nuvarande stödfunktioner kunna förklara vikten av ett ordentligt stöd från HR i förändringssituationer med inriktning mot digitalisering eftersom det är ett ständigt växande ämne och område inom organisationer. Efter inventeringen går det att se vilka stödfunktioner som kan användas ytterligare vid förändringar. Därigenom går det att förklara på vilka sätt HR kan finnas som stöd vid förändringar och därav antas välbefinnandet öka till följd av att stödet ökar. Metod: En empirisk undersökning med deduktiv ansats som behandlar HRs roll i förändringsprocesser. Insamlingen av empirin har genomförts via kvalitativa intervjuer. Slutsats: Studien har visat på att kommunikation är en nyckelfaktor för en lyckad implementering av förändringar, det i sin tur tyder på att HR som stödfunktion bör lägga vikt vid att finnas på plats för att kunna samtala med arbetstagarna under förändringsprocessen. Det i sin tur förväntas öka välmåendet hos personalen under förändringsprocessen och därav bidra till en stabil organisationshälsa., Purpose: The aim of this study is to do an inventory of the present support that HR has, to describe how important the right support from HR is during times of change. With an orientation towards digitalization since it is a subject that continuously keeps growing within organizations. By explaining how HR can support employees during times of change the welfare is expected to increase as the support increases as well. Method: An empirical study with a deductive research approach that considers HRs part during times of change. The collection of empirical data was done through qualitative interviews. Conclusion: The study has shown that communication is a key factor for successful implementation of changes. That means that HR as a support function needs to be available to have dialogues with the employees during the times of change. By doing that the wellbeing of the employees is expected to increase and therefore contribute to a steady organizational health.

Bakgrund: Arbetsmiljö och delaktighet anses vara viktiga faktorer för individens hälsa. Över tid har sjuksköterskors och undersköterskors arbetsmiljö förändrats vilket gett upphov till mindre delaktighet på arbetet och mindre förtroende för organisationen. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka delaktighet på arbetsplatser bland sjuksköterskor och undersköterskor som arbetar på sjukhus. Studien avser även undersöka om det finns några skillnader mellan sjuksköterskors och undersköterskors delaktighet. Metod: I denna studie användes en kvantitativ metod med tvärsnittsdesign där data samlades in genom en digital enkät. Urvalet bestod av cirka 300 medarbetare på sjukhus och 76 deltog i undersökningen genom att besvara enkäten. Data analyserades i SPSS genom frekvenstabeller och skillnader fastställdes genom Chi-2-test. Huvudresultat: Både undersköterskor och sjuksköterskor upplevde delaktighet på sina arbetsplatser. Resultatet visade även att undersköterskor upplevde mer delaktighet än sjuksköterskor. Dock saknade resultatet statistisk signifikans. Slutsatser: I föreliggande studie har det framkommit att delaktighet på arbetsplatser upplevs positivt för målgruppen. Det som däremot var märkbart var att både sjuksköterskor och undersköterskor i högre grad upplevde att de inte kunde påverka arbetstempot. Vidare upplevde undersköterskor en mer rättvis fördelning av arbetsuppgifter i jämförelse med sjuksköterskor och hälften av båda yrkeskategorierna ville ha mer inflytande på arbetsuppgifterna., Background: Work environment and participation are considered important factors for the individual's health. Over time, nurses' and assistant nurses' work environment has changed, which has given rise to less participation in the work and less trust in the organization. Aim: The purpose is to investigate workplace participation among nurses and assistant nurses who work in hospitals. The study also aims to investigate whether there are any differences between the participation of nurses and assistant nurses. Method: This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design where data was collected using a digital survey. The sample consisted of approximately 300 hospital employees and 76 participated in the survey by answering the questionnaire. Data were analyzed in SPSS by frequency tables and differences were determined by Chi-2 test. Main results: Both assistant nurses and nurses experienced participation in workplaces. The results also showed that assistant nurses experienced more participation than nurses. However, the result lacked statistical significance. Conclusions: In the present study, it has emerged that participation in workplaces is experienced positively by the target group. What was noticeable, however, was that both nurses and assistant nurses felt to a greater degree that they could not influence the pace of work. Furthermore, assistant nurses experienced a fairer distribution of tasks compared to nurses, and half of both professional categories wanted to have more influence on tasks.

Background: The ADL-taxonomy as an assessment instrument shows high validity and reliability in the clinical research, but there is no study about occupational therapists’ experiences of using the ADL-taxonomy in clinical practice. It is important to study the users’ experiences and views to improve implementation of evidence-based methods such as the ADL-taxonomy. Aim: The aim of this study is to explore Swedish occupational therapists’ views and experiences regarding use of the ADL-taxonomy as an assessment instrument in clinical practice. Method: Qualitative design with semi-structured interviews was used. Inductive content analysis was used to analyze the collected data with five licensed Swedish occupational therapists . Results: The analysis resulted in two main categories: (1) Trying to be professional and (2) Depending on the environmental impact. The occupational therapists considered use of the ADL-taxonomy to be a positive aspect in professional development, however their performances were strongly affected by the enviormental factors in clinical practice. Conclusion: Using evidence-based assessment methods such as the ADLtaxonomy is important for Swedish occupational therapists’ professional development. However, whether to choose the ADL-taxonomy and how to use it depend on the specific patient and the environmental factors. To encourage the implementation of evidence-based methods in clinical practice, healthcare organizations need to make an effort to build supportive work environments for practitioners., Bakgrund: Enligt klinisk forskning visar ADL-taxonomin hög validitet och reliabilitet, men det finns inga studier kring svenska arbetsterapeuters erfarenheter av att använda ADL-taxonomin som bedömningsinstrument i sitt kliniska arbete. Det är viktigt att studera användarnas erfarenheter och synpunkter för att förbättra implementering av evidensbaserade metoder såsom ADL-taxonomin. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka svenska arbetsterapeuters syn på och upplevelser av attanvända av ADL-taxonomin som ett bedömningsinstrument i sitt kliniska arbete. Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ design. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fem legitimerade arbetsterapeuter verksamma inom olika verksamheter. En induktiv innehållsanalys användes för att analysera insamlad data. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i följande två huvudkatergorier (1) Försöker vara professionell och (2) Blir påverkad av olika omgivningsfaktorer. Arbetsterapeuterna ansåg att användningen av ADL-taxonomin är en positiv aspekt av deras professionella utveckling, samtidigt som omgivningsfaktorer i deras arbetsmiljö spelade en viktig roll för dem i klinisk praxis. Slutsats: Användningen av evidens baserade bedömningsmetoder såsom ADL-taxonomin är viktigt för arbetsterapeuters professionella utveckling men påverkas av olika omgivningsfaktorer i klinisk praxis. Om ADL-taxonomin ska väljas och hur den ska användas beror dock på den specifika patienten och miljöfaktorerna. För att uppmuntra implementering av evidensbaserad metoder i klinisk praxis måste vårdorganisationer anstränga sig för att skapa stödjande förutsättningar i arbetsmiljö för personalen.

The paper examined academic librarians' perceptions of the characteristics that contribute to a favorable organizational climate and those that negatively affect it in Nigerian university libraries. The study concentrated on Nigeria's Southeast and South-South geopolitical zones. The researchers adopted a descriptive survey design for the research. A structured questionnaire was employed to collect the data from the respondents and analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The study population consists of 143 academic librarians in university libraries in the study area. The entire population was used as a sample because it was a manageable number. The result demonstrates that respondents have favorable impressions of their organizational climate. Specifically, respondents are satisfied with the communication, work environment, leadership style, organizational structure, rewards, and teamwork. It was recommended that although the organizational climate of the libraries studied was perceived as positive, there was a need to periodically and constantly improve the reward system. Implementing a formal rewards system can be a great way to motivate librarians. They can be rewarded based on measurable performance metrics, such as a pay bonus when meeting a specific task or other forms of reward. The study found that to keep librarians motivated, the reward system needs to be improved without delay.

Purpose: This study where accidents often occur in the construction industry and most construction companies try to reduce the number of accidents at work each year. According to statistics, thousands of occupational accidents are reported annually. Dozens of these accidents have led to deaths. Construction companies have a challenge to secure the working environment on the construction site while trying to keep up with their final construction results on the contract. Method: This studies factors draws attention to the importance of safety and risk management in the construction site. It also highlights the measures to be taken into account so that future contracts can go through with reduced accidents at work. As a basis for this work, the safety work within two construction companies in Västerås has been investigated with the help of interviews and site visits. The questions were used as a clue to get answers to the study to be investigated. A literature study has been conducted in connection with a case study. At the beginning of the literature study, previous studies were analyzed using websites and scientific articles on how good work environment works together with laws and requirements. The case study had been based on interviews and surveys with the help of two construction companies in Västerås so-called EQ Bygg AB and Byggmäster AB. Results: The results of the study showed how these two construction companies differed on how they handle safety at the construction site. One company was a little bigger than the other, they had a stronger measures in terms of safety and risk management because they were working on larger contracts. The other company EQ Bygg had a little less capital than Byggmäster, but according to the interviews, they also had strong points on how they take care of their safety work. Conclusions: The biggest challenge that both companies had in common was that time pressure led to most work accidents because it creates stress for the emplo

It is widely accepted that the integration of new technologies, work practices and working methods lie at the core of a successful transition to Industry 4.0. However, work-relatedstress can impair this transition. This literature review aims to identify organisational and social work factors linked to work-related stress so that they may be integrated into the transition process. This literature review uses thematic analysis to identify and organise work factors into four levels: community, company, department/group and individual.Companies should integrate identifying and treating causes of work-related stress at the company and department/group-level into the transition to industry 4.0.

Bakgrund: Brist på sjuksköterskor har rapporterats under en längre tid både globalt och i Sverige och hög arbetsbelastning har länge varit ett problem inom hälso- och sjukvården. Dessa faktorer påverkar arbetsmiljön och sjuksköterskors hälsa och med stor sannolikhet även patientsäkerheten. Vårdskador orsakar onödigt lidande för patienter, längre vårdtider samt ökade samhällskostnader. Ökade kunskaper om hur faktorer i arbetsmiljön är relaterade till patientsäkerheten är viktigt för att kunna bedriva ett effektivt förbättringsarbete. Syfte: Att beskriva hur faktorer i sjuksköterskans arbetsmiljö är relaterade till patientsäkerheten inom slutenvården. Metod: Detta är en litteraturöversikt med inriktning omvårdnad. Resultatet är sammanställt utifrån från 16 vetenskapliga artiklar från databaserna CINAHL och PubMed, publicerade mellan 2011–2021. Resultat: Underbemanning, hög arbetsbelastning och tidsbrist leder till ogjorda omvårdnadsmoment och ökar risken för vårdrelaterade skador och infektioner. Dåliga tvärprofessionella relationer och ett otillåtande samtalsklimat minskar samarbete i team och avvikelserapportering vilket försämrar patientsäkerheten. Bristande lokaler, utrustning och platsbrist minskar möjligheterna att bedriva säkervård genom bland annat högre arbetsbelastning. Slutsats: Flera faktorer i arbetsmiljön inom slutenvården kan relateras till bristande patientsäkerhet, både direkt och indirekt. Arbetsgivare har ett ansvar att säkerställaen hälsosam arbetsmiljö och förbättringsåtgärder bör implementeras både förpatienternas säkerhet och för de berörda sjuksköterskors välbefinnande., Background: Nurse shortages has been reported for a long time both globally and in Sweden and a high workload has long been a problem in Swedish health care. These factors affect the work environment, nurses' health and most likely also patient safety. Healthcare-associated injuries cause unnecessary suffering for patients, prolonged periods of hospitalization and increased healthcare costs. Increased knowledge of how factors in the work environment are related to patient safety is important in order to implement effective improvement measures. Aim: To describe how factors in the nurse work environment are related to patientsafety in inpatient care. Method: This is a literature review with nursing orientation. The results are compiled of data from 16 research articles from the databases CINAHL and PubMed, published between 2011-2021. Results: Understaffing, high workload and lack of time lead to nursing tasks left undone and increase the risk of care-associated injuries and infections. Poor interprofessional relationships and a judicial work climate impair teamworking and error reporting, impairing patient safety. Inadequate premises, equipment and patient number capacity reduce the ability to provide safe care through, among other things, a higher workload. Conclusion: Several factors in the work environment in inpatient care can be related to reduced patient safety, both directly and indirectly. Employers have a responsibility to ensure a healthy working environment and improvement measures are necessary for the safety of patients as well as the the well-being of nurses.

Purpose: The construction industry is the industry with the largest amount of accidentseach year. The industry accounts for 20-40 percent of all fatal work accidents. Thereare several reasons why a lot of accidents occur in the industry but most of the accidentsis due to unsafe acts. The aim of the study is to investigate how the situation appearstoday and to present a suggestion to reduce the amount of accident for carpenters in theproduction. This has been done by answering the following questions: Why does accidents happen to carpenters in the production? In which operation, in the production, does most of the accidents occur? What can be given as a proposal to reduce the number of accidents for carpentersin the production stage?Method: Collection of data is mainly relied on interviews of carpenters, supervisorsand site managers. The method that is used is semi-structured interviews, documentanalysis and literature study. The interviews have been done with employees from threedifferent companies.Findings: The study has concluded that most accidents happens on heights and thatthey mostly happens of unsafe acts and that risk perception is not enough.By involving carpenters in the planning state can risks be detected and handled in anearly state. An improved communication between carpenters and the managementresult in discussion about risks and safety improves. The results of this is a saferenvironment and a decrease in work accidents.Implications: Work accidents can decrease through planning where carpenters areincluded in an early state. There should also be an open communication between thecarpenters and the management where safety will be discussed.Limitations: This study is limited to carpenters in the production because a study thatexamines all disciplines are too extensive for 15 HP. The interviews are limited to fivecarpenters, one foreman and two site managers. Because of this the study can´t bequalified to be generalizable though the study is considered, Syfte: Byggbranschen är den bransch med flest antal anmälda yrkesolyckor per år.Branschen står för 20–40 procent av alla dödliga arbetsolyckor. Det finns flera orsakertill varför det sker så mycket olyckor i branschen men majoriteten beror på osäkrahandlingar. Syftet och målet med studien är att undersöka hur situationen ser ut idagsamt lämna ett förslag på hur man kan minska antalet olyckor för snickare iproduktionen. Detta har gjorts genom att besvara följande frågeställning: Varför uppstår det olyckor för snickare i produktionsstadiet? I vilket moment, i produktionen, uppstår det flest olyckor? Vad kan ges som förslag för att minska antalet olyckor för snickare iproduktionsstadiet?Metod: Insamling av data är främst förlitat sig på intervjuer av snickare, arbetsledareoch platschefer. De metoder som har använts i undersökningen är semistruktureradeintervjuer, dokumentanalyser och litteraturstudier. Intervjuerna är genomförda medpersoner från tre olika företag.Resultat: Genom studien har det framkommit att flest olyckor sker vid arbete på höghöjd och att olyckor beror mestadels av osäkra handlingar där riskhanteringen fallerar.Genom att involvera snickare i planeringen av arbetet kan riskmoment upptäckas ochhanteras i ett tidigt stadie. En förbättrad kommunikation mellan snickare och ledningenresulterar i att diskussioner om risker och säkerhet förbättras. Resultatet av detta är ensäkrare arbetsmiljö samt en minskning av arbetsolyckor.Konsekvenser: Arbetet är att arbetsolyckor kan minskas genom planering där snickareinvolveras samt en öppen kommunikation mellan snickare och ledningen där säkerhetkan diskuteras.Begränsningar: Arbetet är begränsat till endast snickare i produktionen då ett arbetesom undersöker alla yrkesgrupper inom byggbranschen blir för omfattande för 15 HP.Då intervjuerna är begränsade till fem snickare, en arbetsledare och två platschefer kanarbetet inte kvalificeras som generaliserbart dock anses arbetet vara överföringsbart påde flesta företa

Bakgrund: Att arbeta personcentrerat är en viktig del i yrket som sjuksköterska. Inte bara för att sjuksköterskans etiska regler som står till grund för sjuksköterskans profession tyder på det, utan även för att varje människa är unik och vården därför bör anpassas efter varje enskild individ. Som en del i detta examensarbete har den personcentrerade vården samt arbetsmiljö på sjukhus granskats för att se hur personcentrerad vård påverkas av sjuksköterskors upplevelse av stress. Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva hur stress i sjuksköterskans arbetsmiljö inverkar på den personcentrerade omvårdnaden av patienter på sjukhus. Metod: Examensarbetet genomfördes som en litteraturöversikt baserad på 17 vetenskapliga artiklar med publicering mellan år 2009 och år 2018. Databasen som användes var Cinahl. Resultat: Resultaten visar att trots en stressig arbetsmiljö för sjuksköterskan påverkas inte den emotionella delen i omvårdnaden av patienten, dock kan det praktiska vårdandet ta skada vilket i sin tur kan påverka patientsäkerheten. Resultaten visar också att ledningen har ett stort ansvar att sätta upp riktlinjer gällande den personcentrerade vården samt att förebygga utbrändhet hos sjuksköterskor och patientsäkerhet. Slutsats: Det finns en tydlig koppling mellan arbetsmiljö och sjuksköterskans psykiska mående, trots detta så erhåller sjuksköterskorna inte möjligheten till delaktighet i beslut som ledningen gör. Fler studier behöver genomföras innefattande arbetsmiljö och dess påverkan på sjuksköterskan i form av stress och utbrändhet. Begreppet personcentrerad vård är brett och omfattande därför behöver tydliga riktlinjer för utövandet av personcentrerad vård i praktiken skapas för att säkerställa resultatet av hur arbetsmiljön påverkar personcentrerad vård., Background: Working person-centered is an important part of the profession as a nurse, not least because the nurse's ethical rules suggest that, but also because every person is unique, and that care should therefore be adapted to each individual. As part of this degree project, the person-centered care and the work environment in hospitals has been overlooked for how the person centered care is affected by the nurse's experience of stress. Aim: The aim is to describe how stress in the nurse's work environment affects the personcentered care of patients in hospitals. Methods: The degree project was conducted as a literature review based on 17 scientific articles with publication between 2009 and 2018. The database used was Cinahl. Results: The results show that despite a stressful working environment for the nurse, the emotional part does not affect the patient's care. However practical care may cause damage, which in turn can affect patient safety. The result also shows that management has a major responsibility in setting up guidelines for person-centered care, as well as preventing burnout of the nurse and patient safety. Conclusion: There is a clear link between the working environment and the psychologist's nurse, despite this, the nurses do not receive the opportunity to participate in decisions made by the management. More studies need to be done about the work environment and the impact on the nurse in terms of stress and burnout. The concept of person-centered care is wide and extensive, therefore, clear guidelines for the practice of person-centered care need to be made in practice to ensure the results of how the work environment affects person-centered care.

BAKGRUND: Sjuksköterskors arbetsmiljö är enligt tidigare forskning ansträngd. Hög arbetsbelastning och stress påverkar patientsäkerheten och leder till ohälsa och sjukskrivningar hos personal. Stress definieras som ett tillstånd där människor reagerar på någon aktivitet, händelse eller liknande. Ofta beror stressreaktionen på att en uppgift upplevs inneha höga krav utan tillräckliga tillgångar för att klara uppgiften. SYFTE: Är att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser av möjliga arbetsrelaterade stressfaktorer på vårdavdelningar på sjukhus. METOD: Litteraturöversikt baserad på 15 artiklar från Cinahl, PubMed och Psycinfo varav 13 var kvalitativa, en var kvantitativ och en var mixad metod. RESULTAT: Resultatet visade åtta faktorer i arbetsmiljön som orsakade stress hos sjuksköterskor. Dessa var: hög arbetsbelastning, etisk stress, bristande samarbete och hierarki i arbetslaget, patienter och anhöriga, våld och trakasserier, förväntningar på sjuksköterskor, låg lön, parkeringsplatser och personalrum. SLUTSATS: Sjuksköterskor på vårdavdelningar på sjukhus upplever många olika faktorer till stress. Stress hos sjuksköterskor orsakar lidande både för sjuksköterskor, patienter och anhöriga. För att sjuksköterskor ska uppleva mindre stress krävs en god relation och ömsesidig respekt i samarbetet med arbetsledning och kollegor, en hanterbar arbetsbelastning, en trygg arbetsmiljö och en rimlig lön., BACKGROUND: Nurses work environment is strained according to earlier studies. High workload and stress affect the patient safety and causes sickness and sick leaves among the nurse staff. Stress is defined as a condition where people reacts for some activity, experience or suchlike. The stress reaction often occur when a certain assignment has a lot of demands without an adequate amount of resources to perform the assignment. AIM: To describe possible nurses stress related factors in the work environment at wards in a hospital. METHOD: Literature review based on 15 articles from Cinahl, PubMed and Psycinfo, which of 13 was qualitative articles, one was a quantitative and one was a mixed method. RESULTS: The result showed eight factors in the work environment that caused stress among nurses. The factors were high workload, ethical stress, lack of collaboration between the staff and hierarki, patients and relatives, violence and harassment, expectations on nurses, low income, parking lots and staffroom. CONCLUSION: Nurses in hospital wards experience many different factors that contributes to stress. Stress in nurses contributes to suffering for nurses, patients and relatives. In order to lower nurses stress there need to be a good relationship and mutual respect in the cooperation between nurse, colleagues and supervision, a manageable workload, a safe work environment and a reasonable salary.

Bakgrund: Just nu råder brist på vårdplatser på flera svenska sjukhus. Detta har lett till att vårdavdelningar överbeläggs, vilket hittills lösts bland annat genom att utlokalisera patienter till andra avdelningar än den dit de egentligen tillhör. Följande studie behandlar olika aspekter relaterade till vården av dessa patienter, även kallade satellitpatienter. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda satellitpatienter. Metod: En intervjustudie med deduktiv ansats genomfördes, där data samlades in via semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta sjuksköterskor. Intervjuerna spelades in, transkriberades och analyserades slutligen utifrån Hsieh och Shannons beskrivning av kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Sex huvudkategorier har identifierats; Effekter av att utlokalisera patienter, Kommunikation mellan vårdgivare, Vårdpersonalens kompetens, Arbetsmiljö, Teamarbete samt Förslag till förbättringar. Dessa beskriver tillsammans sjuksköterskornas erfarenheter av att vårda satellitpatienter. Konklusion: I studien framkom att sjuksköterskornas erfarenheter i samband med vården av denna patientgrupp främst genomsyras av en oro kring en bristande patientsäkerhet. Deltagarna lyfter vidare att sjuksköterskors arbetsmiljö och arbetsvillkor behöver förbättras för att kunna öppna upp vårdplatser, minska antalet satellitpatienter och därmed kunna bedriva en patientsäker vård., Background: A shortage of hospital beds prevails in Swedish hospitals at the moment. This has led to care unit overcrowdings, which so far has been solved by outlocation of patients. This study’s background presents a variety of aspects related to these patients’ care, who sometimes also are called satellite patients. Aim: To describe nurses’ experiences of caring for satellite patients. Method: An interview study with a deductive approach has been conducted. Data was collected by semi-structured interviews with eight registered nurses. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and lastly analyzed from Hsieh and Shannon’s description of qualitative content analysis. Result: Six categories were identified; Effects of Outlocating Patients, Communication Between Caregivers, Competence Among Nursing Staff, Work Environment, Teamwork and Suggestions for Improvement. Together, these describe the nurses’ experiences of caring for satellite patients. Conclusion: Nurses’ experiences of caring for these patients were mainly characterized by a concern for patient safety. The participants also mentioned that nurses’ work environment and work terms needs to improve in order to open hospital beds, reduce the number of satellite patients and thereby maintain a safe and equivalent care.

Arbetsplatsen har kommit att ta en allt större plats i den moderna individens vardag. Men vilken påverkan har det på den anställdas livsvillkor? Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka hur anställda på ett detaljhandelsföretag upplevde att bolagets förändringsprocesser påverkade arbetsvillkoren och gemenskapen på arbetsplatsen. Syftet var även att undersöka hur delaktiga de anställda har kunnat vara i förändringsprocesserna och vilken påverkan detta hade på de anställdas arbets- och livsvillkor. Nio semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med två chefer och sju anställda. Resultatet visade att de förändringsprocesser som pågått under en längre tidsperiod haft direkta, både positiva och negativa effekter, på den anställdes arbetsmiljö. Idag finns ett mer öppet och socialt arbetsklimat vilket är positivt eftersom gemenskapen och samarbetet är en viktig komponent då mycket av arbetet sker i team. Dock har tidsperioden upplevts turbulent vilket inneburit en hög grad av stress. Gällande delaktighet och möjligheten att kunna påverka arbetsmiljön framkom det att det var något de anställda värdesatte, men idag är det arbetet inte prioriterat på grund av tidsbrist. För att analysera resultatet användes Bosse Angelöws teori om förändringsprocesser, flexibilitet av Michael Allvin et al., Paul Thompson och David McHughs teori om företagskultur samt Thomas Scheffs begrepp sociala band., The workplace has taken a bigger place in the life of the modern individual. But what impact does it have on the employee's living conditions? The purpose of this paper was to investigate how employees at a retail company experienced that the company's organizational changes affected the working conditions and the social relationship at the workplace. The purpose was also to investigate how involved the employees was able to be in the changing processes and what impact this had on the employee's working conditions. Nine semi-structured interviews were conducted with two managers and seven employees. The result showed that the changing processes have lead to easier ways to communicate which is positive since cooperation is an important component on the working place. However, this period has been turbulent, which has lead to a high level of stress. Lastly the ability to influence the work environment showed that it was something the employees appreciated, but it’s not something they prioritize because of the time pressure. The theoretical framework that was used were Bosse Angelöw's changing processes theory, the flexible work by Michael Allvin et al., Paul Thompson and David McHugh's corporate culture theory and Thomas Scheff's theory social bonds.

Summary: Workplace mistreatment (bullying, horizontal violence, and incivility) has been shown to impact nurses’ work satisfaction, job turnover, and physical and mental health. However, there are limited studies that examine its effect on patient outcomes. A correlational descriptive study of 79 acute care nurses was used to test a social justice model for examining the relationship between workplace mistreatment, quantified as threats to dimensions of nurses’ well-being (health, personal security, reasoning, respect, attachment, and self-determination), and nurses’ ability to provide quality patient care. In addition, this study considered the moderating effect of caring work environment among co-workers on nurses’ ability to provide quality patient care in the face of workplace mistreatment. Stories of workplace mistreatment were collected anonymously and analyzed for alignment with threats to six dimensions of well-being. Ability to provide patient care was measured using the Healthcare Productivity Survey and a caring work environment was measured via the Culture of Companionate Love scale. The results demonstrated that threats to all six dimensions of well-being described by Powers and Faden (2006) were expressed in nurses’ stories of workplace mistreatment. Furthermore, 87% reported a decrease in ability to provide patient care after an incident of workplace mistreatment. Yet frequency of threatened dimensions did not have a significant relationship with ability to provide patient care. Moreover, there was a significant moderator effect of the caring work environment on the relationship between number of threatened dimensions of well-being and ability to provide quality patient care. Nurses in high caring environments loss less ability to provide care than nurses in low caring environments when one to three dimensions of well-being were threatened. However, this relationship reversed when four or more dimensions were threatened.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between work organisation and the labour market status of employees in Sweden, during the years 2008 to 2012. The main interest is to analyse the probability of staying employed or not, and staying employed after the general retirement age.To assess this relationship three different data sources are combined. Work organisation is approximated with the NU2012 survey, which was conducted by the Swedish Work Environment Authority. We use an empirical combination of the questions, and the work organisation is assumed constant throughout the years. Separate regressions are estimated for each possible labour market status. The regressions are estimated with cross section models and random effects panel data models.We find that there is a relationship between work organisation and employees’ labour market positions. Numerical flexibility is found to affect the work environment and the individuals’ labour market statuses negatively. Decentralisation’s and learning’s impact on the individuals’ labour market status is, however, incoherent with theories and previous research. These results are probably due to the reverse time causality of the study. Finally we propose that it is important to investigate this relationship further to be able to make policy changes.

The focus of this thesis is on nomadic work culture and the use of parasite architecture in urban environments. Dining, shopping, entertainment, and hospitality are all functions that take place in a designated space over a relatively brief period of time. The manner in which we work is vastly becoming the same way. In recent years there has been a huge growth in what has been described as a nomadic work culture. Nomadic work culture includes workers who share certain characteristics, such as the fact that they travel for the duration of most of their workday, they are not strongly associated to any one office space, and they are constantly carrying, managing, and reconfiguring their resources such as laptops, power cords, & handheld devices. Parasite architecture will be employed in the creation of these structures because it speaks to the nature of these nomadic workers in that their method of choosing a location to work is based on the presence of basic elements, such as free Wi-Fi, electrical outlets, seating, public restrooms, food and beverage sales, and most importantly the presence of other nomadic workers. In this way, nomadic workers are a form of parasite because when these elements are present they will host upon the location until their work is complete, at which point they will leave to return at a later date or find a new location that offers the same conveniences for them to host upon. This thesis seeks to explore how parasite architecture can be used to create a new prototype for the nomadic work culture.

The desirability of management development outdoor programmes leaves many client organizations in the dark about the roles of work environment and participant characteristics mediating between training design and implementation with on-the-job behaviour. The main purpose of the study is to determine mediating effect(s) of work environment and/or participant characteristics between training design and implementation with on-the-job behaviour after attending the management development outdoor programme between 2005 and 2006. The study was a correlational ex post facto design. The study involved 150 participants, drawing randomly from five industries consisting of 191 in population between 2005 and 2006. The response rate was 98.6 percent. The instrument was adopted and adapted from the published research that were the Learning Transfer System Inventory (Holton, Bates and Ruona, 2000), Tracey, Tannenbaum and Kavanagh (1995), Noe and Wilk (1993), McSherry and Taylor (1994), Kontoghiorghes et al (2005), Noe (2002) and Rothwell and Kazanas (1989), Ford (1993), Lewis et al 2004, Lau (2001) and Tai (2006). The instrument used a five points Likert Scale with 1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree. The reliabilities of all the scales were more than 0.70, which was above the acceptable level (Hair, Black, Babin, Anderson, Tatham, 2006). The content validity of the instrument was reviewed by a panel of judges. The overall measurement model yielded chi-square = 62.69, degree of freedom = 49, non-significance p-value (p > 0.05), ratio = 1.279 (ratio between 1 and 2), CFI = 0.988 (>0.95) and RMSEA = 0.044 (<0.08). It has fulfilled the goodness-of-fit. Data were analyzed using AMOS and SPSS programme. After considering three competing models, the nested model B was the best model based on AIC closer to zero. The results of revised structural model were CMIN/df (ratio) = 1.260 (which is between 1 and 2), RMSEA 0.042 (less than 0.05 indicates good fit), GFI 0.930 (more than 0.9

The aim of the study presented here was to identify and characterize the constituents of a healthy workplace from the viewpoints of employees at four different companies with low rate of absenteeism due to illness. A non-randomized, purposive selection was made of 27 respondents – four department heads, 16 white-collar workers, and seven blue-collar employees. The respondents were told to describe in writing how they experience factors contributing to good health at their workplace. The data analysis was carried out with a phenomenographic approach. Four main categories of health-related factors emerged: Good Work Environment, Active Keep-Fit Measures, Functional Leadership and Individual Responsibility. The employers fulfil demands for a good physical working environment, but the need for improvements in the psychosocial environment remains. The most promising finding is that the respondents’ accept personal responsibility for maintaining their own good health.

Previous research about work environment aspects of the Church of Sweden is limited and has either focused on structural problems or leadership. This study is an explorative study and focused on the psychosocial work environment factors (factors which are related to the interplay of physical, mental, organizational and social conditions in the work) in the Church of Sweden and set out from a top-down perspective. Data include documents and interviews and were analyzed and categorized in order to find pattern of relevance for the psychosocial work environment in the organization. The result shows four themes: unclear organization structure, an idea of being different, stressful work conditions and a destructive communication style. The result emphasized that the psychosocial work environment within the Church is complex with deep conflicts, often not dealt with.
