Abstract:
Background: The caries aetiology is individual and multifactorial, and even though common causes are known to professionals, patients still suffer from the disease. The aim of this study was to investigate if the patient care education of today is optimal. The research question stated is if knowledge about caries prevention and self-care in the population is equal irrespective of age. Methods: A questionnaire was designed and distributed to participants in two age groups, equally divided in two Swedish cities. The groups were constituted by adolescents aged 16-21 and senior citizens over 60 ye

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Sjukvårdsrelaterade infektioner komplicerar vården av miljontals patienter varje år och är mer frekventa i utvecklings länder. Hur sjuksköterskor arbetar med hygienrutiner har ett stort inflytande över spridningen av dessa sjukdomar. Att ta ett blodprov är en invasiv procedur och trots att det för många sjuksköterskor är rutin så kan det vara förenat med risker för patient och sjuksköterska. Syfte: Att observera och beskriva hur sjuksköterskor utför hygien rutiner vid blodprovstagning i högrisk områden. Metod: En empiriskt strukturerad observationsstudie med en kvantitativ ansats, ge

Abstract:
Bipolar disorder is a serious illness affecting approximately 2-4% of the population and is one of the world’s leading causes of disability. In individuals with bipolar disorder, medical comorbidity associated with cardiovascular, respiratory and endocrine disorders is related to increased rates of mortality. Recent updates to multi-system inflammatory related conceptualizations of bipolar disorder focus on the unique power that medical illness and biological processes may play as factors associated with course and outcome in bipolar disorder.

Abstract:
Exposure to noise in hospital intensive care units (ICUs) can disrupt patients’ sleep and delay their recovery. In this intervention study, noise levels were measured in eight patient rooms of a medical ICU (MICU) every minute with sound level meters for eight weeks before and after an intervention. Implemented over six weeks, the intervention was designed to educate nurses and other staff members to reduce noise levels through behavior modification, including instituting a “quiet time” in the afternoons, encouraging patients to keep televisions off or at lower volumes, and speaking more quiet

This thesis explores the discourses and organisations through which girls' development towards adult womanhood was framed and managed during the inter-war period.

It argues that representations and responses to girls were increasingly underpinned by the conceptualisation of adolescence as a critical period of change and instability. This understanding of adolescence pervaded both medical and lay discour

Abstract:
Because of their relative inexperience in performing procedures and handling sharps devices, medical students and resident physicians are considered to be at high risk for sharps injuries. A higher rate of sharps injuries for medical trainees implies a higher risk for occupationally-acquired infection with bloodborne pathogens and may have financial and legal implications for training institutions. This study examines the prevalence of sharps injuries among US medical students and resident physicians. A systematic review of the literature yielded 10 studies that gave data on sharps injuries

A further proposition is that both the hygienists and the modernist architects of Neues Bauen consciously exploited this overlap in their respective disciplines.
