Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- One method to ensure that nursing students are better prepared for their future professional role can be to offer them process-oriented group supervision. The aim of this prospective, longitudinal pilot study was to evaluate the effects of a process-oriented group supervision programme (PGSP) comprising educational, supportive and developmental areas based on reports by nursing students undergoing a 3-year nursing education. The students (N=61) evaluated their experiences of the PGSP by means of a questionnaire, which they filled in after each study year. An independent t-test was conducted to compare the educational, supportive, and developmental areas after the first (2002), second (2003) and third year (2004) as well as over the whole 3-year study period. The result showed no significant difference in scores in the educational area. However, there was a significant increase in the supportive area (p=.03) over the 3-year period, which was especially noticeable during the first year (p=.013). There was also an increase in the developmental area over the 3-year period (p=.021) as well as during the first year (p=.024). Thus, PGSP seems to develop nursing students in their professional identity and personal growth. However, as this was a pilot study, a research implication is to perform a large-scale study over a longer period of time.

Forskningsöversikt (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim with this literature review was to describe content, objectives, design, and outcomes of support groups for parentally bereaved children three to twelve years of age. In a support group with children in similar situation the children's thoughts, experiences and feelings will be normalised through different activities. Pedagogical methods include creative activities of different kinds, e.g. painting, writing letters and poems, reading stories, play and games. The purposes of the methods are to accept and understand the reality of the loss, to understand and work through the grieving, to enhance family communication, and to keep the memory of the death and go on living. Organisation and structure are described in relation to development levels and ages of children and youths. Outcomes of groups are characterized by clinical observations and a dearth of evaluative studies. All bereaved children should have the opportunity to participate in a support group when a parent, sibling or other relative dies. Well developed services for bereaved children should be a matter of health care policy and quality.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The extension of advanced home-nursing has increased, and previous research shows that many persons prefer to die in their own homes. Relatives are significant in nursing, but it is emotional and demanding for the relative who needs support. The purpose of the study is to elucidate the relative’s experiences of a palliative home-nursing team. An interview-study with 13 relatives, to patients who have home-nursing until the end of their lives, supported with a palliative home-nursing team. A qualitative content analysis of content is used. The relatives were thankful for the element of security, but experienced exposedness, which appeared as an overall theme. Six categories identified: Trust in the nursing-team. To be invited to/ and get support in caring. To share the responsibility with the team. Not be in agreement with. To experience strain. To get support after the caring period. In spite of the fact that the relatives were very pleased; they experienced security and had trust to the nursing-team, it was found out that the teams resources was not always enough, which is confirmed in former research. Since patients as well as relatives are unique and therefore have different needs of palliative teams, is it important to elucidate this to facilitate security.

The aim of this interview study was to explore how the nursing staff experienced the spiritual dimension within caring. Data was obtained from ten nursing staff at a Swedish infection department and analyzed with content analyze. The result shows that conditions to discover and to meet spirituality depend on the staff’s ripeness, that self-knowledge affect consciousness about spirituality and in the relationship of care spirituality is visible. The meaning of spirituality is to relate to God and other people, seeking the meaning of life and attitude at fateful occasions. This study shows there is a lot of knowledge released about patients’ spiritual needs only by asking: what do you believe in? The knowledge from this study is usable booth in nursing and in educational settings.

- Malnutrition is a major problem among elderly at nursing homes. Overnight-fasting is defined as the time between the last mealtime at night and breakfast and was considered as long in this study when it exceeded eleven hours. The aim of the study was to map the overnight-fasting length, the frequency and rate of malnutrition and the health related quality of life in an elderly population living at a nursing home in western Sweden. The study was a quantitative descriptive study and was performed at a somatic department of a nursing home. The data was analysed using descriptive statistic. The result indicate a possible relation between the combination of manifest malnutrition as measured in this study, an overnight- fasting length exceeding 11 hours and low health related quality of life in old age. The study generated the hypothesis that health related quality of life among elderly persons living at nursing homes can increase if the over-night fasting length decrease under eleven hours. In addition there is a need for more knowledge concerning the elderly’ own experience of long over-night fasting.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To watch over a sick or dying person is a common phrase and phenomenon used both by relatives and hospital staff. The aim of this study was to analyse the concept of watch and it's meaning for caring in the context of intensive care. The study was conducted in two steps. First an etymological and semantic analysis was conducted, in the second step, 35 persons, including 19 registered nurses undergoing a specialist training program in critical care and 16 persons representing the public were asked to write down their personal opinions about the meaning of the concept. A synthesis of the semantic analysis and the empirical study was made and finally a tentative meaning of the concept was formulated. To watch (over someone) is to be present by a person's side with attention, in the purpose of protecting the loved one from danger and to assist and help in presence of illness and/or dying. The person who watches can do it day or night and be a next of kin or a nurse. To watch means to be emotionally involved and your own needs are put aside in favour of the concern and care for the ill or dying person. This abstract was translated into English by the publisher or author.
