Full textThe death of a loved one is associated with feelings of grief, which is a multifaceted emotional response for individuals’ who are attempting to cope with a loss. The grieving process can have an unpredictable trajectory for each person, even though it may encompass many common and familiar features. Grief after a loss incorporates an expansive range of emotional and physical responses, which frequently consists of feelings of sadness, depression, and loneliness. Few studies have reviewed effective interventions for combating the emotional and physical symptoms of grief after the loss of a loved one. Walking is an affordable bereavement care intervention that may prove beneficial in improving grief responses and the related physical and psychological symptoms. A physical activity, such as walking, is a type of activity that is easily performed that may ultimately reduce the effects of stress, decrease depression, and improve mood in persons who have experienced the death of a loved one. The conceptual framework that guided this study was the Roy Adaptation Model.
The purpose of this study was to decrease the severity of grief related symptoms associated after the death of a loved one using an acute three-week walking regimen and comparing baseline responses to walking completion responses on the Texas Revised Inventory of Grief (TRIG). A convenience sample of 62 persons in southeastern Georgia who had experienced the loss of a loved one participated in the three-week walking regimen. The results showed no statistical improvement in grief scores after a three-week walking program.

Full textNursing care of persons having dementia diseases affecting the frontal lobes, sets special demands on the staff, but the knowledge about how to best tailor nursing care is sparse. The aim of the study was to illuminate possibilities and difficulties in nursing care of persons having dementia diseases with frontal lobe dysfunction and was carried out as a descriptive, qualitative study, based on a review of medical records and interviews with nursing staff (n=10) that was analysed with qualitative content analysis. The difficulties were related to the patients lack of inhibition and judgement, anxiety, agitation, reduced ability to care for physical needs, egocentrism, imbalance between rest and activity, and depressed mood. The possibilities were seen in relation to the nursing staffs professional encounter, characterised by being distinct and consequent, being a step ahead, being flexible and catch the moment, being calm and create a positive atmosphere, being close and trusting and being and doing together. To receive continuous feedback and support was a prerequisite for the staffs’ engagement. The result showed that the nurse patient encounter is of importance to gain a high quality nursing care where each patient, despite illness, is seen as a unique and valuable person.

Full textMany people related to a sick person take on the role of caregiver, which would otherwise have been adopted by healthcare professionals. Cut downs in the public sector are progressing, and there is not enough focus on how this affects the persons who cares for a sick loved one at home. The purpose of this study was to describe the experience of being a caregiver and what factors affects the experience of a caregiver who cares for a loved one at home with Parkinson’s disease. The results revealed four categories: Time and relationship, Support and information, Disease duration and Symptoms. The results showed that caregivers find it difficult to have a normally functioning everyday life due to their role as caregivers. The caregivers perceived burden increases as the loved ones disease processes. A good relationship and a lot of mutuality between the parties reduce the perceived burden among caregivers, and increase their perceived quality of life. Caregivers feel that support groups reduce their mental workload by enabling them to share their experiences with others and that it helps them to understand and cope with their situation. Caregivers feel they do not receive adequate information and support from health care. The caregivers feel that the loved ones physical disability is more pronounced at the direct care and involves more physical stress than the mental symptoms makes. The psychological symptoms have a greater impact on caregivers’ mental health and their perceived burden. As the number of caregivers who care for a loved one at home increases it is of great importance to maintain research and attention to made research.

Full textBackground: Palliative care is intended to cater for the needs of patients with life threatening, non-curable, diseases at all levels of medical care in Sweden. Studies have shown that family and loved ones of patients receiving specialized palliative care in the home have not always been taken seriously or otherwise considered appropriately. This has led to them struggling under the pressure, often without acknowledgment. Not receiving the appropriate support has been shown to be a factor causing physical, psychological as well as psychosocial distresses. For example, depression, difficulties to concentrate and fatigue have been reported. Central to the work as a nurse in specialized palliative home care is to provide support to family and loved ones as it is often a necessity enabling the patient to be at home towards the end of life. The support in this case consisted largely of dialogue. By acknowledging and considering the thoughts and worries of the family, their wellbeing was increased. Aim: Describing the experiences of nurses supporting family and loved ones through dialogue within specialized palliative home care. Method: The study was by design inductive and data were collected via qualitative research interviews. Results: Following the analysis, the answer to the two questions emerged: How did nurses do to establish a good relationship with family and loved ones? How could nurses support family and loved ones? There were four subcategories for each question. The result showed that the conversation in specialized palliative home care was a major part of the existing work, but it did not always happen in structured and conscious forms. The experience of structured conversations with relatives was exclusively positive. Discussion: The result was discussed against selected parts of Watson's ten carative factors. Sensitivity to self and others, Human care relationship, To express positive and negative feelings, Creative, problem-solving care process.

Full textBackground: Health care staff are in many ways vulnerable in their work. Nurses in home care often work alone and in the patients’ home and are therefore more exposed. Threats and violence are common, but the vulnerability can also come from being solely responsible for the nursing care or caring for patients who act erratic. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe nurses’ experiences of exposure in home care nursing. Methods: The study was a qualitative interview study where thirteen nurses were interviewed. Data was analyzed with qualitative content analysis. Results: Three categories emerged from the analysis: Feeling undisclosed, Not knowing what/whom to meet and Constant vigilance. In addition to threats and violence, the nurses experienced exposure in forms of loneliness, uncertainty and constant vigilance. Their working environment contributed to experiencing exposure, especially in exposed areas. Support from colleagues and leadership, as well as the nurses own strategies and characteristics, made the exposure easier to handle. Conclusions: Nurses working environment gives a sense of insecurity that is hard to influence. Further research is needed to gain understanding of their situation and experiences of exposure. The home care organization is required to arrange a safer working environment and promote safety in home care nursing.
