From psychotherapist to supervisor
This study is a part of an ongoing research project examining group supervision in psychotherapy. The study was performed in a postgraduate training program for prospective supervisors. The two-year supervisor training program included theory seminars as well as group supervision of the prospective supervisorâs supervision of a trainee who had a patient in psychotherapy. The training program was based on psychoanalytic theory and the psychotherapy conducted was psychoanalytically oriented. SuperviseesÂŽ and supervisorsÂŽ experiences of the learning process, supervision format in group and supervisor styles were explored in semi-structured interviews. Both supervisees and supervisors emphasized the importance of a specific training program for psychotherapists who intend to work as supervisors. The didactic aspects of supervision were pointed out. The group format was experienced as particularly suitable for this training level. The âsuper-supervisorâsâ style was important as a role model for the supervisors in training
God handledning : En teoretisk studie om hur handledning av vÄrdstuderande kunde vara
Syftet med studien Àr att klargöra hur en god handledning kan se ut. Vi vill lyfta fram vad god handledning Àr och vilka delar som bidrar till att hand-ledningen blir god. VÄr forskningsfrÄga lyder: Vad kÀnnetecknar en god handledning? Den teoretiska utgÄngspunkten bestÄr av Benners och Ekeberghs tankar om reflektion. Datainsamlingsmetoden Àr dokument-studier. Vi skall göra en sammanfattning av tidigare forskning bestÄende av 30 vetenskapliga forskningar. Som dataanalysmetod har vi valt översiktsartikeln resumé för att fÄ en snabb översikt av forskningarna. InnehÄllsanalys anvÀndes för att analysera resultatet.
FrĂ„gorna som stĂ€lldes till forskningsresultatet var: Vilka faktorer har betydelse för att handledningen ska bli god? Vad kĂ€nnetecknar reflektionen i handledningen? Resultatet beskrivs utgĂ„ende frĂ„n de frĂ„gor som stĂ€lldes till tidigare forskning. De faktorer som inverkar pĂ„ handledningen Ă€r hand-ledarens egenskaper, handledningsmetod, handledningens yttre ramar, diskussion, integration teoriâpraktik samt handledningsteknik. Hand-ledarens relationella och personliga egenskaper Ă€r av betydelse för hur handledningen blir. Kommunikationen mellan handledare och studerande Ă€r viktig. Att ha klara mĂ„lsĂ€ttningar och ett handledningsschema Ă€r avgörande för studerandes praktik, Ă€ven att skapa en trygg atmosfĂ€r. Genom att integrera teori med praktik frĂ€mjas studerandes professionella utveckling och kĂ€nslan av att kĂ€nna sig kompetent. Som en handledningsteknik kan kritiskt tĂ€nkande vara en möjlighet samt att handledare ger kontinuerlig utvĂ€rdering Ă„t studerande. Grupphandledning ansĂ„gs Ă€ven som positivt.The purpose of this study is to explain what good supervision of nursing students on practical training could be like. We want to highlight what good supervision is and what parts of it make it good supervision. The question that we want an answer to is: What distinguishes good supervision? The theoretical starting points are Bennerâs and Ekeberghâs thoughts about reflection. The data was collected through document studies. We have made a summary of earlier research consisting of 30 scientific researches. As method of analysis we chose review articles in order to quickly get an overview of the research. The analysis of data has been done with the help of content analysis.
The questions were: What factors are important for the supervision to be good? What characterizes reflection in supervision? Factors that affect supervision are the supervisorâs characteristics, method of supervision, outer frames of supervision, discussion, integration theory-practice and supervision technique. The supervisorâs relational and personal characteristics have a great importance for how the supervision is going to be. The communication between the supervisor and the student is important. Having clear goals and a supervision schedule is conclusive for studentsâ practice, also in order to create a safe atmosphere. Integrating theory with practice promotes the studentâs professional development and the feeling of being competent. As a supervision technique, critical thinking could be a possibility, as well as supervisors giving continuous feedback to students. Group supervision was also considered as positive
The influence of active bomas on habitat choice of the common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus)
The common warthog (Phachocoerus africanus) is a relatively long-legged pig with noticeable curved tusks, a short neck and three pairs of facial warts. It has four recognized subspecies. The common warthog is a non-migratory ungulate living on the African savannah. It is a hindgut fermenter and predominantly dependent on high-quality foods. It prefers open areas for grazing but use bushes for cover. Warthogs prefer former bomas because of the nutrient enrichment that has occurred there and they also distribute their faeces close to their feeding grounds. Warthogs are a pioneer species when it comes to recolonizing abandoned bomas. Warthogs are bearers of several diseases harmful to livestock and are therefore often chased from active bomas. The aim of this study was to investigate how active bomas influence the habitat choice of warthogs. The study was carried out in the Maasai Mara National Reserve and the adjoining Koyake group ranch, in august 2003 and May-June 2004, using well defined study areas; transects. Results showed that warthogs favour the transects farthest away from the bomas. Warthogs probably favour the security of grazing among other species in order to avoid being caught by predators. Other herbivores might also feed on plant species less attractive to warthogs and thereby allowing plant species that warthogs favour to grow

Grupphandledning I psykoterapi inom ramen för utbildningar
The focus of this paper is group supervision in psychotherapy training. Results emanating from studies performed in collaboration between a number of Swedish universities and university affiliated training units are summarized. The findings are drawn from studies where data is collected from supervisors and supervisees at several different measurement points, levels of training, and psychotherapeutic orientations. The studies presented here examine and highlight different aspects of group supervision, e.g., the experience of supervision on various training levels and psychotherapeutic orientations with regard to the impact of the group format. Moreover, experiences of supervisor style and group climate are examined. A major finding is that both supervisors and supervisees emphasize the need of giving more attention to group processes and phenomena in group supervision
Lekfullt lÀrande pÄ distans : Handledning av barn via surfplatta
Examensarbetet Ă€r ett arbete inom projektet âResursstarka barnâ. Syftet med examensarbetet Ă€r att testa handledning via surfplatta med barn. FrĂ„gestĂ€llningar i arbetet Ă€r: âHur fungerar handledning pĂ„ distans med barn?â âHur fungerar surfplatta som verktyg i handledning pĂ„ distans?â och âVad bör handledaren beakta i handledning pĂ„ distans?â. UtgĂ„ende frĂ„n frĂ„gestĂ€llningarna Ă€r mĂ„let att utveckla en broschyr som ska vĂ€cka intresse för distanshandledning hos professionella inom social- och hĂ€lsovĂ„rden. Ett resursförstĂ€rkande barnperspektiv genomsyrar arbetet.
För att uppnÄ syftet har teorier och litteratur sammanstÀllts om media, teknologi, handledning och barnets utveckling. Teorin fungerar som en grund för den praktiska tillÀmpningen av distanshandledningen. I den kvalitativa analysen av handledningstrÀffarna framkom fem faktorer som Àr avgörande för en lyckad distanshandledning. Faktorerna Àr: pedagogisk planering, miljö, surfplattan, barnet och handledarens roll.
Handledning pĂ„ distans med barn Ă€r ett nytt omrĂ„de, examensarbetsgruppen hittade inte tidigare forskningar om distanshandledning av barn. I resultatet framkom det, utöver de fem ovannĂ€mnda faktorerna, att handledaren behöver ha kunskap om handledning, surfplattan som handledningsverktyg, barnets situation och utvecklingsnivĂ„.OpinnĂ€ytetyö on osa projektia âResursstarka barnâ. Työn tarkoituksena on kokeilla lapsen etĂ€ohjausta tablettitietokoneen avulla. Kysymyksenasetteluna on âMiten lasten etĂ€ohjaus toimii kĂ€ytĂ€nnössĂ€?â âMiten tablettitietokone soveltuu etĂ€ohjaukseen?â ja âMitĂ€ ohjaajan tulee huomioida lasten etĂ€ohjauksessa?â. LĂ€htökohtana on kehittÀÀ esite, joka inspiroi sosiaali- ja terveysalan ammattilaisia kĂ€yttĂ€mÀÀn etĂ€ohjausta. Voimavaroja vahvistava nĂ€kökulma on otettu huomioon koko työssĂ€.
Tavoitteen saavuttamiseksi on yhdistetty kirjallisuutta ja teorioita mediasta, teknologiasta, ohjauksesta ja lapsen kehityksestÀ. YhdistelmÀ toimii lÀhtökohtana kÀytÀnnössÀ sovellettuun etÀohjaukseen. EtÀohjauksen kÀytÀnnöllistÀ sovellusta analysoidaan laadullisesta nÀkökulmasta. AnalyysissÀ todettiin ettÀ etÀohjauksessa on viisi keskeistÀ osaa, pedagooginen suunnittelu, ympÀristö, ohjaajan rooli sekÀ lapsi.
Lasten etĂ€ohjaus on uusi alue, eikĂ€ aikaisempia tutkimuksia alueesta ole löydetty. OpinnĂ€ytetyön tuloksissa selvisi, yllĂ€mainittujen keskeisten osien lisĂ€ksi, ettĂ€ ohjaajan asiantuntemus niin tablettitietokoneesta, sovelluksista kuin lapsen kehittymisestĂ€ ja tilanteesta ovat avaintekijöitĂ€ ohjauksen onnistumiseen.This thesis is a part of the project âResursstarka barnâ. The purpose is to test online tutoring with a tablet with children. The aim is to develop a brochure for professionals in social and health care when tutoring at a distance. A child resource-reinforcing perspective permeates the work. The research questions the thesis is based on are: âHow does distance tutoring with children work?â âHow does the tablet work as a tool in distance tutoring?â and âWhat should the tutor consider in distance tutoring?â. The aim is to develop a brochure to inspire professionals in social- and health care using the research questions as a base.
In order to achieve the purpose, theories and literature about media, technology, tutoring and child development are studied. The theory works as a foundation for the practical application in distance tutoring. The qualitative analysis from distance tutoring brings out five factors that are vital for a successful distance tutoring. The five factors are: pedagogical planning, environment, the tablet, the child and the tutorâs role.
Distance tutoring with children is a new area, and the authors of this thesis have not found previous research about distance tutoring with children. The result showed that in addition to the five aforementioned factors, the tutor needs to have knowledge of the tools he or she uses in the tutorial regarding applications, tablet, the child's situation and developmental level

This thesis is a part of the project E-clubbing that has taken place in 2016-2017, in Novia University of Applied Sciences. The main goal with e-clubbing is to reduce the feeling of alienation that different target groups might experience.
Peer support is an important factor for strengthening the familyâs resources, which is highlighted in this thesis. The purpose of the bachelorâs thesis is that families with children with learning disabilities from different parts of the Swedish-speaking region of Finland are able to find each other, take part in each otherâs experiences and support each other in their everyday life. The questions at issue are: Which types of challenges come with tutoring caregivers for under school-aged children with learning disabilities, when it is done remotely? What does the professionals need for virtually tutoring caregivers for children under school age with learning disabilities?
The method used in this bachelorâs thesis is service design. The purpose of service design is to create value for the clients with help of new services or through development of already existing services. The target groups have been discussed based on literature reviews and already existing forms of support have been reviewed.
To present the answers to our questions at issue, the challenges that comes with virtual tutoring remotely have been investigated. Technical difficulties, group constellations and the knowledge of the tutor are factors that separate virtual tutoring from physical tutoring. The product is a checklist that the professionals can use as a guideline when starting e-clubs. The checklist is designed to be easily used and understood by a professional starting an e-club. It consists of three parts: planning, execution and evaluation
FöretrÀdaransvaret i SBL- En befogad inskrÀnkning i den aktiebolagsrÀttsliga grundprincipen om frihet frÄn personligt betalningsansvar?

Dessutom förs en diskussion kring företrÀdaransvarets förhÄllande till aktiebolagsrÀttens huvudprincip om ansvarsfrihet
FörhÄllningssÀtt och kommunikation i mötet med personer med demenssjukdom : utvÀrdering av ett trÀningsprogram med validationsmetoden
Communication difficulties among residents with dementia disease living in nursing homes may complicate
care situations. These residents can have difficulties describing how they experience their everyday lives, which
can lead to withdrawal, social isolation, or feelings of homelessness. Research indicates that nurses involved in
dementia care experience communication as difficult and challenging. The validation method developed by Feil
is held to facilitate communication through emphatic and confirmatory approaches. Scientific reviews show
insufficient evidence for recommending the use of the method, in spite of this the method is used in dementia
care. Evaluations of the validation method have primarily focused on the residentsâ perspective, and reports on
nursesâ experiences of the validation method are sparse.
The overall aim for this thesis was to evaluate Feilsâ
validation method by describing nursesâ experiences and skills in communication observed during
implementation of a training programme. Twelve nurses participated in the validation method training
programme that included 10 days of theoretical training with supervision about once a month, and practical
training integrated in everyday work. During practical training nurses had conversation with 3 residents each 2-3
times a week, and videotaped one conversation per month.
Methods: The design is based on naturalistic scientific approach. Data were collected with interviews (I, II)
and a questionnaire (II) before and after the programme, and videotaped conversations during the programme (III, IV).
An interview was conducted as a comparison with nurses from another nursing home, who had long experiences of
using the validation method (I).
The result showed that nurses improved their communication and had closer relationships with residents
with dementia disease after validation method training, in accordance with nurses with long experiences (I). The
training strengthened the nurses, but also posed an extra strain on them. Even though the nurses described an
extra strain on the entire nursing staff, this was not reflected in the results from the questionnaire about the work
climate (II). Videotaped one-to-one conversations between nurses and residents showed that the nurses
developed their approaches and communication skills, although to different degrees. An overall pattern revealed
nursesâ movements within and between various paths when improving their communication skills (III). The
findings were in congruence with the nurses described experiences (I). In videotaped conversations from the end
of the programme, the residents had the possibilities to use their remaining communication abilities and to
communicate what was currently on their mind (IV). This may be related to the development of the nursesâ
communication skills during the programme.
Conclusions of this thesis were that the nurses developed their
skills in caring approach and communication when communicating with residents with dementia disease, which
gave these residents possibilities to communicate according to their abilities. In order to integrate new
knowledge about communication the results showed that it was necessary to combine theoretical and practical
training with supervision and reflection. To provide nursing staff with this type of training could be seen as an
investment for nursing homes, an opportunity to increase job satisfaction for nurses and to increase social
community for residents
Att etiskt bemöta, kommunicera med och utveckla en god relation till den Àldre 65+ inom frivilligarbete : En kvalitativ utvecklingsstudie
Syftet med detta arbete Àr att genom en kvalitativ utvecklingsstudie utröna vilken betydelse etiskt gott bemötande och en god kommunikation har för utvecklandet av en god relation mellan den Àldre och frivilligarbetaren. ForskningsfrÄgorna som stÀllts Àr: Vad Àr en god relation till den Àldre inom frivilligarbete? Vad Àr ett etiskt gott bemötande? samt Vad bör man tÀnka pÄ i mötet med den Àldre inom frivilligarbetet för att kunna föra en god kommunikation?
Som teoretisk utgÄngspunkt anvÀnds den humanistiska mÀnniskosynen och Thorséns grundantaganden (Thorsén, 1997) inom det humanistiska synsÀttet samt FN:s konvention om de mÀnskliga rÀttigheterna (FN, 1948). I vÄr teoretiska bakgrund har vi anvÀnt oss av K Erikssons vÄrdprocess och det naturliga vÄrdandet (Eriksson, 2014; Eriksson, 1987). Datainsamlingsmetoden Àr kvalitativ, vilket innebÀr utvald litteratur, kvalitativa artiklar och intervjuer. Det utvalda materialet frÄn litteratur och artiklar har analyserats genom en litteraturgranskning och intervjuerna har analyserats genom en innehÄllsanalys för att finna gemensamma karaktÀrsdrag.
I resultatet framkommer att frivilligarbetarens etiska bemötande och kommunikation pÄverkar hur relationen till den Àldre utvecklas. Frivilligarbetarens etiska bemötande och kommunikation grundar sig i dennes mÀnniskosyn och naturliga vÄrdande. Produkten som vÀxt fram under arbetets gÄng Àr en broschyr som Àr tÀnkt att ge en första handledning i etiskt bemötande och kommunikation med den Àldre för utveckling av en god relation till frivilligarbetarna.The purpose of our bachelorŽs thesis is to develop the importance of the ethical response and communication for developing a good relationship with the elderly within voluntary work. For our research we came up with three issues; What is a good relationship to the elderly within voluntary work? What is a good ethical response? What should volunteers focus on in the meeting with the elderly to maintain and develop an honest communication?
In our theoretical background we have chosen to explain the humanistic perception of humanity (ThorsĂ©n, 1997) (FN, 1948), K ErikssonÂŽs âcaring processâ and âthe natural caringâ (Eriksson, 2014) (Eriksson, 1987). The data collection method we have used is qualitative, that means selected literature, research articles and interviews. The selected material from the research articles has been analyzed in a literature review. The interviews have been analyzed in a content analysis. Both analyses have been done in order to find common characteristics.
The result of the bachelorÂŽs thesis showed us that volunteers ethical response and communication affect the development of a good relationship to the elderly. The volunteerâs ethical response and communication are based on their humanistic perception and natural caring. Our research resulted in a brochure, which is meant as a first tutorial in ethical response and communication in order to develop a good relationship to the elderly within voluntary work
VÄrdstuderandens professionella tillvÀxt : - mentorer som stöd i utvecklingen
Avsikten med denna studie Àr att undersöka hur mentorskapsprogrammet pÄ Arcada har inverkat pÄ sjukskötarstuderandens professionella tillvÀxt. Syftet Àr att kartlÀgga effek-ten av mentorskapsprogrammet i relation till studerandens professionella tillvÀxt. Un-dersökningen utgÄr frÄn sjukskötarstuderandens perspektiv. I denna studie kommer vi att utreda vad den professionella tillvÀxten utgörs av och hur den tar sig uttryck hos sjukskötarstuderanden. Vi vill Àven ta reda pÄ hur mentorn stöder den professionella utvecklingen hos studeranden. De centrala frÄgestÀllningarna för denna undersökning Àr:
- Vad utgörs den professionella tillvÀxten av?
- Vad ger forskningen för kunskap om mentorskap för sjukskötarstuderande?
- Hur har mentorn pÄverkat adeptens professionella tillvÀxt?
- Hur har mentorskapsprogrammet stött sjukskötarstuderandens utveckling mellan stadierna novis och avancerad nybörjare?
Som referensram har vi valt Patricia Benners teori som ger oss en grundlig beskrivning av sjukskötarstuderandens utveckling frĂ„n nybörjare till en kompetent sjukskötare. Stu-dien Ă€r uppdelad i tvĂ„ delar; en litteraturanalys och en empirisk studie genom en kvali-tativ intervju. Den kvalitativa intervjun riktar sig till tre informanter som deltar i men-torskapsprogrammet pĂ„ Arcada. Resultatet av bĂ„da studierna har analyserats enligt en induktiv analysmetod. I studien framkommer att sjukskötarstuderandena upplever att mentorn stöder den personliga och yrkesmĂ€ssiga vĂ€xten genom att dela med sig av sin erfarenhet, bekrĂ€fta studeranden och ge studeranden utrymme för reflektion.The aim with this study is to examine how the mentorship program at Arcada has influenced the nursing studentsâ professional growth. The purpose is to map out the effects of the mentorship program in relations to the studentsâ professional development. The study proceeds from the nursing students point of view. In this study we will analyze what professional development is made out of and how it is expressed by the nursing students. We also want to investigate into how the mentor supports the professional development of the students. De central questions are:
- What is professional growth made out of?
- What kind of information/knowledge does the studies give about mentorship for nursing students?
- How has the mentor influenced the menteeâs professional growth?
- How has the mentorship program supported the nursing students development from novice to advanced beginner?
As frame of reference we have chosen Patricia Bennerâs theory that gives us a thorough description of the nursing students development from novice to a competent nurse. The study is divided into two sections; one literature analysis and the other an empiric study through a qualitative half structured interview. The qualitative interview is directed towards three informants who are all a part of the mentorship program at Arcada. The results from both the studies have been analyzed according to an inductive method. The study shows that nursing students feel that the mentor supports the personal and professional development through sharing his or her experience, confirming the student and giving the student room for reflection
