- In the everyday work at emergency departments (EDs), the patients being cared for have different needs and perceived symptoms. To meet their need for emergency care, knowledge of the work is important. The aim of this study is to explore the everyday work at a Swedish ED from a practitioner's perspective. METHOD: This study has a qualitative, exploratory design with observations and interviews at two EDs. Data were analysed by content analysis. FINDINGS: The everyday work is characterised by a rapid, short and standardised encounter with limited scope to provide individualised care, which leads to a mechanical approach. It is also characterised by an adaptive approach in which practitioners strive to be adaptable by structuring everyday work and cooperation to achieve a good workflow. CONCLUSIONS: The study shows that the practitioners' encounter with patients and relatives is rapid and of limited duration. The care activities that practitioners mainly perform comprise standard medical management and are performed more mechanically than in a caring way. The practitioners strive to balance the requirements and the realisation of the everyday work through structures and in cooperation with other practitioners, although they work more in parallel than in integrated teams.

- Age care managers in residential facilities – aspects of competence Carina Fura°ker and Agneta Nilsson The Sahlgrenska Academy at Go¨ teborg University, Institute of Health and Care Sciences, Go¨ teborg, Sweden Abstract Purpose – The purpose of the research project was to study aspects of the competence of age care managers, and how they develop their leadership in residential facilities. Design/methodology/approach – The participants comprised 13 age care managers (ACMs) from 13 different residential facilities. Ten of the residential facilities were located in a large municipality and three in small municipalities. On average they had 19 years of experience of caring for old people. The ages of the respondents varied from 40 to 63 years. Individual, semi-structured interviews were chosen. The data were subjected to content analysis. Two main categories and six subcategories were generated. Findings – The ACMs had different educational backgrounds and very few had university courses in management, implying an insufficient theoretical knowledge of leadership. There are several ways of learning leadership, for example model learning, collective learning, learning by experience and through theoretical education. Model learning is the dominant form. By being present ACMs create relationships; they check the quality of social and health care, as well as the behaviour of the staff towards residents, relatives and colleagues, which seems to be valuable in order to avoid conflicts. Research limitations/implications – The strength of the study is that the participants come from different workplaces, small and large municipalities and residential facilities. They have long experience of working as a leader and have a variety of professional backgrounds. Thirteen ACMs is not that many, but as they differ in professional background, education and workplace, the amount of data was considered sufficient. Some of the ACMs have difficulties in expressing how they learn leadership, because the “knowhow” is sometimes problematic to describe in words. Practical implications – Theoretical education was mentioned as crucial for learning leadership. Originality/value – ACMs’ interest in competence development is weak. They seem to be more interested in motivating and inspiring their staff’s learning process than their own.
