Bakgrund: Runt 46 miljoner personer i världen har en demenssjukdom. Hälso- och sjukvården fokuserar på att underlätta vardagen samt bidra till god upplevd hälsa för personer som drabbats av en demenssjukdom eftersom det i nuläget inte finns någon bot. Få studier kartlägger musikaktiviteters påverkan på bland annat de funktionsnedsättningarna en demenssjukdom kan innebära.

INTRODUCTION: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most frequent healthcare-associated infection in intensive care units and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Current diagnostic criteria lack specificity, leading to misclassification and unnecessary antibiotic use. Identifying patient subgroups with a common pathophysiological basis (pneumoclusters) may distinguish true VAP

Despite growing emphasis on home-based rehabilitation following stroke, there remains limited understanding of how to effectively tailor services to individual needs. This study employed concept mapping to explore diverse stakeholder perspectives on adapting home-based rehabilitation to better support the recovery process after stroke. Through this mixed-methods participatory approach, we engaged

Nya studier visar på en ökad skuldsättning hos unga vuxna, framför allt unga kvinnor. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka sambandet mellan psykisk ohälsa, upplevd ensamhet, privatekonomisk situation, konsumtionsbeteende och användandet av sociala medier samt hur dessa skiljer sig i en köns- och generationskontext, men även hur interaktionen mellan dessa variabler ser ut. Detta utefterRecent studies show an increase in debt among young adults, especially young women. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between mental health, perceived loneliness, personal financial situation, consumer behavior, the use of social media and how these differ in a gender and generational context. A further aim was to study the interaction between these variables, based on prev
