- The aim of this study was to psychometrically test the Swedish version of the Doloplus-2 instrument for its use among older people. The Doloplus-2 instrument is a pain assessment tool that aims at measure pain among those who can not fully express their pain of various reasons. The instrument was tested in a sample consisting of 48 patients with cognitive impairment. Each patient was observed by two caregivers who evaluated the respondent's pain. One used only the Doloplus-2 scale and the other used both the Doloplus-2 and the UAB-scale. The UAB-scale was used as a «golden standard» because the UAB-scale has previously been found to be psychometrically valid and reliable. The Doloplus-2 scale was psychometrically evaluated by using Spearman's rank-order correlation, Kappa coefficients, and an explorative factor analysis. There was high correlation between the total score for Doloplus-2 and the UAB-scale, and the agreement was high between the two raters. Moreover, the factor analysis showed the same factor structure as the original instrument. Thus, the results indicated that Doloplus-2 had in general acceptable validity and reliability, and the instrument could be seen as a useful instrument to measure pain among elderly with communication difficulties.

- Clinical research, when children involved, may cause difficult ethical problems for both caregivers and parents. Informed consent has to be obtained from the parents and from the child depending on age and maturity. The concept of informed consent is complicated and depending on the ability of communication between the professionals and the parents. The aim of the study was to illuminate parents lived experiences when being asked to volunteer their new-born premature child to a clinical research study. Parents of fifteen children were interviewed concerning their experiences and a phenomenological based analysis was carried out. Three themes were found: experience of exposure, experience of insufficiency and experience of possibilities. The parents expired themselves being in a state of shock and their statements were characterised by the existing chaos. Despite this, the parents experienced that they could do something good for others in the future. Researchers have to be aware of the parents’ exposure, and attentive to their individual needs.

- 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.

- The purpose of this study was to describe degree projects on a bachelor level in nursing where peer review was used as quality assurance. Two student groups, 45 nursing students and seven registered nurses, participated. This case study describes quality assurance through collaboration between examiners. The results are focused on students´, supervisors´ and examiners` experiences during the degree process from the examiners perspective. Time disposal and criteria for a passing grade constituted factors associated with obstacles for students as well for supervisors and examiners. Peer review between two universities created opportunities for increasing awareness and validation of the quality of degree project and increased reliability for the examiner’s assessment. The study highlighted the need for collaboration between supervisors and examiners throughout the work process with student’s degree project. A model of group supervision e.g. with eight students, two supervisors and one examiner with regularly utilisation of peer-review for quality assurance is a further development to reach quality assurance in a degree project.

- Background: Heart failure is a clinical syndrome where the heart is no longer able to maintain adequate blood circulation to the tissue. Many suffer from symptoms difficult to handle such as dyspnoea, fatigue, and physical weakness.Aim: The purpose of the study was to investigate peoples’ experiences of living with congestive heart failure.Method: A systematic literature review was used. Relevant articles were found in the Medline and Cinahl databases. The articles were examined, classified and critically appraised. Twenty articles were included. A qualitative content analysis was used to organize the results.Results: The results are described in three main categories: losses, protecting independences and readjustment. The category ‘losses’ details physical, emotional and social changes that people experience as losses caused by the debilitating symptoms of heart failure. The category ‘protecting independences’ shows the different ways in which people try to keep control over their lives. The category ‘readjustment’ presents how people try to seek a new ‘wholeness’ in life after the changes heart failure have caused by using acceptance, adaptation and finding new meanings.Conclusion: Living with congestive heart failure can be experienced as a synopsis of the «suffering human being» on a continuum, a time axle; from falling ill to seeking a new meaning in life.

- The mean scores of the Creative Climate Questionnaire for 152 staff members working in 58 sheltered homes for individuals with autism wererated closer to creative than to stagnant organizations. There was a significant difference between two types of settings. In sheltered homes, thepersons with autism had their daily activity outside the home. Here staff members had higher scores in all creative dimensions compared tohomes with daily activities. Staff in sheltered homes, where the residents leave the premises for their daily work or activities, perceived the workclimate as significantly more creative and satisfying.

- The multicultural society has impact on the nursing profession and multicultural aspects of education have impacts on international cooperation. Materials from 10 years in a Nordic network within higher education institutions within nursing was analysed in order to develop cooperation, mobility, curriculum and research. Methods of benchmarking were used in analysing political documents, memorandum, descriptions of the institutions, course programs and reports from teachers and student. The result indicated that the process from planning to realization was unclear, ambitions were higher than outcomes; experiences of mobility were mostly described in terms of personal experiences, enriching and useful, but relations to political goals instituional strategies were invisible. Effects on academic subjects or competence were not reported,nor were they asked for. Weeklong courses with more participants were succesful. However the research method implied new insights in the results: experiences became visible effects beyond an individual level exists, but they had to be named and asked for.
