  • Enne Ip 2018
    ENNE IP 2018 An opportunity to engage with European nursing students Welcome to Finland! ENNE IP 2018 will take place at Satakunta University of Applied Sciences, SAMK, in Pori campus on 22. – 28. April, 2018. The intensive programme is hosted by one of the 14 member institu- tions and enables students to develop their intercultural competencies around an understanding of: • the social determinants of health in different European countries • the impact of globalisation on health • policy-making processes and approaches to policy analysis and evaluation across different health and social care systems • different models of organisation and delivery of health and social care services • the principles of nursing care and the role of the nursing profes- sion within health and social care practices in different European countries. The programme is run using problem-based learning principles in which students work together in tutorial groups of seven to eight students per group mixed according to participating nationalities. A patient case scenario is used to enable students to share knowledge, practice and experiences in planning the care for the patient. Students are expected to prepare in advance a presentation about their own country; and discuss topics such as the general character- istics of their own health and social care system, nursing curriculum; and cultural characteristics (food, life style, family patterns, etc.). In addition there will be visits to health and social care providers; as well as social activities all designed to promote intercultural understanding. A detailed description of the programme; and what students are ex- pected to prepare prior to the start of the programme will be provided in advance.

Till följd av eget intresse för flygbranschen och som en tidigare anställd på Åbo flygplats strävar jag genom detta examensarbete att genomföra en marknadsundersökning på kundgruppen affärsresenärer som en inledning till en tjänsteutvecklingsprocess på flygplatsen. Genom att undersöka vilka behov av tjänster på flygplatser som affärsresenärer har och ifall behoven möts skapas en grund för rekommendationer som skall hjälpa Åbo flygplats att bli en bättre anpassad flygplats för affärsresenärer. Undersökningen görs som en kvantitativ enkätstudie och de svar som erhålls i undersökningen stöder den teori som utgjort grunden för arbetet och undersökningen. Respondenterna i undersökningen ger konkreta förbättringsförslag för tjänster som sedan har beaktats i de rekommendationer som ges åt Finavia.
