Tidigare studier visar att reaktioner hos operationssjuksköterskor som kommit i kontakt med traumatiska patientrelaterade händelser skiljer sig åt.

En psykosocial arbetsmiljö där höga krav ställs på prestation och flexibilitet med snabb omställning har starka kopplingar till stress. Även dåliga relationer till

In this bachelor thesis the discourse of PPGIS will be mapped out both theoretically and empirically.
