Abstract:
Background: The interpersonal relationship between nurses and clients is seen as the central element or core activity of mental health nursing. Without this relationship therapeutic alliance cannot take place. Concern has been expressed that nurse prescribing could have a negative impact on the nurse patient relationship and result in the nurse sacrificing nursing skills for the prescribing role. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the nurse patient relationship in the mental health setting when the nurse is a prescriber. In order to do this a comprehensive literature review was undertaken and views of participants were explored and relationships described. Methodology and methods: Nurse prescribers were sent questionnaires to gather demographic data and basic qualitative data. Focus groups and interviews were undertaken within a large NHS Foundation Trust. A constructivist approach was used with 57 participants including nurse prescribers, pharmacist prescribers, nurse managers, clients and doctors. A discussion guide and an iterative approach were used to clarify findings. Data analysis was guided by a Framework approach. Findings: The majority of clients preferred to have their nurse prescribe for them. Trust was highly valued within the pre-established relationship and clients found nurses easier to talk to about their medication than doctors. Nurse prescribers placed high importance on being able to reduce and discontinue medication for the client, terming this ‘un-prescribing’. Nurse prescribers were uncomfortable with the concept of power, preferring to use the term ‘empowerment’. All groups of participants were unanimous that nurse prescribers continued to provide care and that they had not moved from a traditional ‘caring’ role to a ‘medical’ curing role and importance was placed on the therapeutic alliance between nurse prescribers and clients. Conclusion: Rather than detracting from the nurse patient relationship, results from this study suggest that nurse prescribing enables the mental health nurse prescriber to provide more holistic care than previously. The action of ‘un-prescribing’ may indicate a new culture around mental health nurse prescribing

Abstract:
Fibromyalgi (FMS) är ett syndrom som främst karaktäriseras av kroniska smärtor i olika delar av kroppen. Patienter med FMS upplever ofta skepsis och misstro i mötet med vården på grund av att deras symptom är osynliga. Samtidigt kan det vara svårt för sjuksköterskor och övrig vårdpersonal att veta hur de ska förhålla sig till en sjukdom som inte uppvisar några kliniska fynd och vars etiologi fortfarande är relativt okänd. Dessa omständigheter gör vårdrelationen komplex. Syftet med denna studie är därför att utforska hur vårdrelationen upplevs mellan patienter med FMS och sjuksköterskor. 11 artiklar har analyserats, ur vilka ett huvudtema, fyra teman och två subteman identifierades. Resultatet visar att brist på tid, kunskap och förståelse resulterar i en problematisk vårdrelation. Betydelsen av att vårda dessa patienter i ett multiprofessionellt team framgår även. I diskussionen utvecklas på vilka sätt patienter med FMS och sjuksköterskor upplever vårdrelationen olika. Sjuksköterskornas känslor av maktlöshet kan från patientens sida istället uppfattas som ointresse och brist på engagemang, vilket kan medföra att patienterna tar med sig negativa känslor in i nya vårdmöten.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine if the spiritual dimension of the nurse-patient relationship (SDNPR) contributes to patient well-being. The research design was a nonexperimental, predictive, latent-variable model and two open-ended questions that asked participants to describe nurse characteristics and behaviors important to well-being. The model included age, significant life events, health, social support, and self-transcendence in addition to SDNPR as predictors of well-being. The sample consisted of hospitalized, postoperative adult patients (N = 98). The Spiritual Dimension Inventory (SDI), a 25 item, four dimensional scale was developed to measure SDNPR. Reliability coefficients for the SDI subscales (connection, empathy, commitment, and trust) and for the total scale were .84 and above. Construct validity was established through measurement model testing. Predictive validity was supported by regression analysis. Connection, commitment, and trust explained 53% of the variance of well-being. The predictive model was tested by confirmatory factor analysis and compared to five competing models. The results of the model testing did not support the hypothesized model of SDNPR predicting well-being. Four themes of nurse characteristics emerged from the content analysis of the responses to the open-ended questions: concern for the patient in time of need, being recognized as a person and feeling accepted, competence, and teaching and explaining.

Abstract:
Psykisk ohälsa är ett växande problem i samhället och allmänsjuksköterskan möter i sitt arbete dagligen människor med psykisk ohälsa. Dessa människor upplever sig ofta osynliga i samhället och upplever även förutfattade meningar i mötet med sjuksköterskan. Forskning idag utgår mindre ofta från perspektivet hos människor med psykisk ohälsa, vilket behövs för att omvårdnaden ska kunna utvecklas. Problematiken är att sjuksköterskan många gånger möter människor utifrån deras psykiska diagnos, istället för att möta dessa människor utifrån ett helhetsperspektiv. Examensarbetet beskriver hur vuxna människor med psykisk ohälsa kan uppleva mötet med sjuksköterskan. Två teman framkommer efter sammanställning av befintlig forskning. Vuxna människor med psykisk ohälsa upplever antingen sig sedda i mötet med sjuksköterskan eller en känsla av osynlighet. Känslan av att vara sedd uppkommer när sjuksköterskan bekräftar individen genom att vara öppensinnad. Sjuksköterskan lägger ner tid i mötet genom att lyssna och att försöka förstå personens situation. En känsla av osynlighet i mötet uppkommer när sjuksköterskan förminskar personen till en diagnos. De med psykisk ohälsa upplever hinder i relationen genom att sjuksköterskan utövar makt och behandlar dem som barn. De känner sig ensamma när sjuksköterskan inte har tid för dem och inte tyckts bryr sig om dem. Genom denna studie kan sjuksköterskan få en ökad förståelse för hur vuxna människor med psykisk ohälsa upplever mötet med dem. Ökad förståelse kan förbättra relationen mellan människor med psykisk ohälsa och sjuksköterskan. Det kan även leda till en ökad känsla av hälsa hos människor med psykisk ohälsa.
Background: Mental illness has in recent years increased in society. It has since centuries been seen as a shameful disease and mental illness has not been a high priority in health care. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe how adult humans with mental illness experiences the meeting with the nurse.Method: The method that was used was a literature based study with basis in analysis of qualitative research. 11 articles with a qualitative approach was analyzed. Result: The result showed two main theme. The first theme was a feeling of being seen in the meeting when an open dialogue was used and a relationship was created. The second theme was a feeling of invisible because they felt reduced to a diagnosis and encountered obstacles in the relation. Conclusion: Adult humans with mental illness could experience the meeting in different ways. A good meeting with the nurse could increase the human with mental illness trust in healthcare. It could improve the care and relationship between human with mental illness and the nurse.

Abstract:
The therapeutic nurse-patient relationship is the core of nursing practice. This grounded theory study used symbolic interactionism, identity theory and ethics as a theoretical perspective to examine nurse-patient relationships. The opinions and experiences of twelve professional nurses were explored to discover the process and events involved when a nurse engaged in a nontherapeutic relationship with a patient. A core process, Breaching the Nurse-Patient Relationship, was identified from the interviews. The core process identified three stages in the process with conditions in each stage that showed progression from each condition in each stage to the next stage. The first stage in the process revealed five conditions that make the nurse vulnerable for engaging in nontherapeutic activities with a patient. Stage one, with the five conditions, was the preliminary process that lead to stage two. In stage two, the nurse engaged in nontherapeutic activities/relationships with the patient. The nurse was either under-involved or over-involved in the nurse-patient relationship but clearly the nurse deviated from the therapeutic realm of the relationship. There were eight conditions in stage two that identified the process of the nurse leaving the therapeutic role to engage in a nontherapeutic role with the patient. The last stage was characterized by the consequences that the nurse, patient and profession of nursing had to face as a result of the nontherapeutic nurse-patient relationship.

Abstract:

Today patients are more aware of their rights regarding their own care. They are more informed, more engaged and have more and individual requirements, which leads to increased demands for information and participation increases. The Health Act sets out the patients´ right to participation. Participation increases patient satisfaction with care, promotes healing and increases adherence to health care advise. The patient doesn´t always experience participation in their own care to the extent they wish, which suggests that nurse’s does not always succeed in getting the patient involved. The purpose of this study is to describe factors that are important for patient participation in nursing care in a nurse- and patient perspective. Nine research articles were analyzed with qualitative content analysis. The analysis resulted in two themes: health care relationships and communication. Through various acts of nursing care, patients experienced themselves as being seen and confirmed. Patients experienced a sense of security and trust, which is the essence of a trusting relationship, which in turn is the basis for caring and patient participation in their own care. Patient participation requires a sophisticated interaction between nurse and patient, a quest of a safe relationship that can lead the patient to see themselves seen and confirmed.

Abstract:
Background: There has been wide interest shown in the manner in which ethical dimensions in nursing practice are approached and addressed. As a result a number of ethical decision making models have been developed to tackle these problems. However, in this thesis it has been argued that the ethical dimensions of nursing practice are still not clearly understood and responded in Brunei. Design and method: This thesis describes a qualitative analysis into the Bruneian nurses’ perceptions of ethical dimensions in nursing practice. Drawing on constructivist grounded theory as a method of inquiry, twenty eight practicing and administrative nurses were individually interviewed. The nurses described how ethical dimensions were perceived in their practice, by means of the difficulties they are facing in the real world of nursing practice; how they have responded to these difficulties, and why they make such responses. Findings: The nurses described three ethical dimensions in their practice, namely ‘nurse at work’ which illustrates the ethical dimensions within the work environment; ‘nurse and doctor’ that elucidates the ethical dimensions in the nurse and doctor relationship and ‘nurse and patient’ which further examines ethical aspects in patient care. ‘Taking responsibility’ and ‘shifting responsibility to others’ were identified as approaches that the nurses took in responding to the ethical dimensions with the aim of avoiding the conflict and maintaining ward harmony. These responses provide new insights into how nurses’ response to ethical dimension in the ward settings where it puts strong emphasis on the nurses’ understanding of responsibility placed upon them as a professional nurse. ‘Negotiating ethical responsibility’ emerged as a core category within the data which illustrate that nurses’ responses to the ethical dimensions form a continuous process, involving constant consideration of the two types of responses. The core category described that ethical dimensions in the nurses’ practice were contextualised in the ‘ethical responsibility’ that is placed upon them within the nursing organisation. This thesis has expanded the current theoretical knowledge of ethical dimensions by elaborating on the concerns experienced in nursing practice and the responses individual nurses utilise to negotiate and discharge their ethical responsibilities at work. The study has also extended emphasis to the reasoning and responses that nurses are engaged in, whilst at the same time, negotiating ethical responsibility regarding the context in which they are placed during their working hours. This core category provides a number of possible implications for future research, nursing practice, education and policy, which would facilitate the exploration of ethical understanding for nurses in Brunei, and enable the provision of an ethical environment, so making ethical dimensions more transparent.

Abstract:
Purposes/Aims: This study described the unique relationships that develop while providing cancer care to American Indian (AI) populations and the underlying meaning that nurses ascribed to these experiences. Rationale/Conceptual Basis/Background: The establishment of caring relationships in order to provide high quality cancer care is particularly challenging for nurses who engage with ethnic minority populations as they contend with cultural and contextual influences different from those found in the majority population. AIs represent an Indigenous minority group in the U.S. facing a considerable cancer care inequity. Nurses who care for AI patients frequently encounter population-specific issues that impact the caring dynamic, yet their experiences and the meaning they ascribe to them are largely unknown. Methods: This was an interpretive phenomenological study with iterative data collection and analysis. Nine cancer care nurses with a minimum of three years of experience working with AI patients participated by engaging in 2-3 exploratory, open-ended, reflective interviews over a period of 9 months. Thematic reduction was completed to explicate the fundamental structures of nurse-patient relationships during cancer care. Phenomenological and hermeneutical reflective writing resulted in linguistic transformation illuminating the essential meaning for nurses within this patient-nurse phenomenon. Results: Findings include individually-situated wholistic descriptions capturing the existential experiences of each of the participants. Reduction of individually-situated themes into seven shared meta-themes included From Task to Connection; Unnerving Messaging; We Are One; the Freedom of Unconditional Acceptance; Attuning and Opening; Atoning for the Past, One Moment at a Time; and Humanizing the Inhumane. Themes were explicated in a comprehensive general structural description followed by the reconstitution of the data and self-reflection into a deeply introspective essential description, suggesting that the meaning of the AI patient-cancer care nurse relationship was expressed in contradictory yet simultaneous patterns of joy and sorrow; ease and difficulty; obligation and vocation. From one moment to the next, nurses sought synchronicity with their patient as they danced to a life rhythm that revealed and concealed; enabled and limited; connected and separated. Being in relationship provided nurses great purpose within the universal human context of caring. Implications: Results contribute to the development of interventions designed to improve both the AI cancer care experience and the support and training of the nurses who serve this population. Refinement of our praxis will result in improved outcomes for both nurses and AI patients, reflecting the inseparability of the two entities within the cancer care relationship. The complimentary and mutually dependent nature of the patient-nurse relationship implies that strengthening and improving support for one entity may in turn positively impact the other. Further research into the AI patient’s perspective of their relationships with cancer care nurses is called for.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: En del patienter som vårdas inom slutenvårdspsykiatrin ses av sjuksköterskor svårare att vårda. Dessa patienter riskerar få en sämre vård än andra patienter. Genom att belysa sjuksköterskors egna förklaringsmodeller till varför patienterna uppfattas som svåra kan fokus riktas mot en utsatt patientgrupp inom den svenska slutenvårdspsykiatrin. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors egna uppfattningar om varför patienter upplevs som svåra att vårda inom den slutna psykiatriska vården. Metod:Fem intervjuer med sjuksköterskor arbetandes inom slutenvårdspsykiatrin genomfördes. Intervjuerna var semistrukturerade och en intervjumall användes för att beröra studiens frågeområden. De transkriberade intervjuerna analyserades med hjälp av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat:Fem olika kategorier framträdde ur materialet vilka återspeglade de intervjuade sjuksköterskornas förklaringar till varför en patient uppfattas som svår inom den psykiatriska slutenvården: Patientens negativa beteenden, omständigheter kring patienten, personalens känslor, personalens beteenden, dåligt anpassad vårdorganisation samt lätta patienter. Diskussion: Det finns många paralleller mellan patienter som uppfattas som svåra och en icke fungerande vårdrelation mellan sjuksköterska och patient. En modell presenteras som beskriver hur patienter i den slutna psykiatriska vården uppfattas som svåra utifrån ett sjuksköterskeperspektiv.

Abstract:
Historically, hospital institutions came out of the Middle Ages. The unfortunates who found themselves in these places included the poor, pilgrims, travelers, old and the orphaned. Started by Christians to take care of their own monks, hospitals were the epitome of charity and hospitality to its consumers. The purpose of this paper is to use the Gap Theory to explore the nurse-patient relationship within a hospitality setting. This information will be used to clarify points within patients' hospital stays that could have an effect on the patients' intent to return or recommend the institution. Four key attributes were discovered through the review of literature that can help nurses and patients enhance the therapeutic relationship. Trust, hospitableness, flexibility and activation are all attributes that must be present in this relationship for it to reach the full potential. Comprehensive trainings done often can help hospitals keep their nurses and other medical staff updated and educated on these attributes. Literature supports the possibility that hospitals would benefit from an added position: the Hospitality Ambassador. This person would be able to take on non-clinical roles to help relieve the burden of the nursing staff while providing the personalized service that patients have come to expect.

Abstract:
Background: Communication allows people to gain understanding of themselves and their surroundings, which is a prerequisite for good health. The nurse may in her communication help patients develop a feeling that they are not alone in their situation. If the patients cannot express themselves and make themselves understood, it can lead the patients to feel left out which emphasizes the suffering at having aphasia. Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the components which affect nurse’s communication with patients with aphasia. Analysis method: A literature review was made based on eleven scientific articles in which similarities were pointed out. Results: The result of this study is presented in three main categories: Time, Environment and Strategies. Eighth subcategory emerged: Knowledge and patient under Time; Physical and psychosocial under Environment; and Verbal, Nonverbal, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and Individual Care under Strategies. Conclusion: This study reveals how nurses can provide the opportunity for patients to increase self-confidence. The result suggests that a person-centered communication care plan as a basic instrument to facilitate patient and caregiver interaction is needed.

Abstract:
Communication Skills of Novice Psychiatric Nurses with Aggressive Psychiatric Patients by Rose L. Moss MS, University of Hartford, 1996 Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Nursing Practice Walden University March 2015 The transition from novice nurse to a competent psychiatric staff nurse is often associated with major communication challenges, primarily when caring for aggressive patients. Guided by Peplau's theory, this quantitative study assessed the communication skills of novice psychiatric nurses (N = 25) who worked 24 months or less in the state psychiatric hospital with aggressive psychiatric patients. Additionally, certain demographic data such as gender, age range, level of education, and length of time working were analyzed to determine their impact on communication skills. The survey consisted of 20 questions which assessed demographic data, communications skills, and hospital-based orientation. Based on ANOVA, novice nurses did not differ on hospital-based orientation based on gender, age, level of education, or length of time working. Novice nurses' communication skills did not differ by gender, age or level of education; however, novice psychiatric nurses who had worked 19-24 months had stronger communication skills than those working less time with aggressive patients (F = 6.9, p < 0.005). A communication skills class during hospital orientation to prepare novice nurses to communicate effectively with aggressive patient was recommended to nursing leadership and staff. A communication skills class held during hospital orientation could enhance the nurse-patient relationship, cultivate a safer and secure milieu, and improve patient outcomes. The findings have implications for positive social change for staff development to improve the hospital orientation for novice psychiatric nurses to become better equipped as effective communicators with aggressive psychiatric patients.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Dorothy Jones
The importance of the nurse-patient relationship to the overall well- being of the person has been explored extensively by nurses. What is largely missing from this knowledge developed to date is the patient's perspective. The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable and valid measure of patients' perceptions of feeling known by their nurses during an acute, surgical, hospital admission. The development of the PPFKN Scale was guided by Newman's theoretical framework of Health as Expanding Consciousness (1994) and data from a qualitative descriptive study conducted in 2003 (Somerville). The current investigation focused on the development and psychometric testing of the PPFKN Scale. The four themes that emerged from the earlier qualitative study were used to guide the development of the 85-item scale. This scale was exposed to a panel of nurse experts to establish inter-rater agreement and content validity, item understandability and readability. The revised scale was piloted with five participants who had experienced an inpatient, surgical admission to determine content validity, item readability and understandability. The revised 77-item scale was then administered to 327 surgical inpatients across seven general care units at a large academic urban medical center. A sample size of 296 completed surveys was analyzed. A four-component solution was devised using Principal Components Analysis with Varimax rotation. This four-component solution accounted for 63.3% variance, with a total scale Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.99. A component loading cut-off was set at 0.3 and items not loading at this value on the expected component were dropped. This process resulted in a reliable and valid 48 item PPFKN Scale with four components and a total scale Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.98

Abstract:
Bakgrund: God kommunikation och information är en förutsättning för patientdelaktighet. Det är av stor betydelse för patienter att vården byggs på en relation, där de känner sig värdefulla och bekräftade av sjuksköterskan. När patienter inte ges möjlighet att delta, kan det leda till att de känner bristande förtroende samt att de inte upplever sig respekterade. Problem: Patienter upplever att det inte alltid skapas förutsättningar för dem att delta i vård och behandling. De upplever sig nonchalerade och ignorerade när sjuksköterskan använder sin makt och kontroll. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av patientdelaktighet. Metod: En litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats. Tio vårdvetenskapliga artiklar valdes ut till analys enligt Evans. Resultat: Sjuksköterskor strävar efter att tillämpa patientdelaktighet, de beskriver även betydelsen av kommunikation, information samt relationen mellan patienten och sjuksköterskan. Vidare har de identifierat omständigheter som begränsar dem att skapa förutsättningar för patientdelaktighet. Slutsats: Patientdelaktighet är något som lätt kan tas förgivet av sjuksköterskor, och något som de tror att de tillämpar. Genom att lyfta fram sjuksköterskors erfarenheter kan Hälso- och sjukvården förhoppningsvis skapa bättre förutsättningar för yrkesverksamma samt framtida sjuksköterskor att tillämpa patientdelaktighet.
Background: Good communication and information is a prerequisite for patient participation. It´s important for patients that health care is built on a relationship where they feel valued and confirmed by the nurse. When patients are not given the opportunity to participate, it can lead to that they feel a lack of trust and they do not feel respected. Problem: Patients experience that there are not always conditions created for them to participate in their care. They feel neglected and ignored when the nurses uses their power and control. Objective/Aim: To describe nurses experience of patient participation. Method: A literature review with qualitative approach. Ten nursing science research articles were selected for analysis according to Evans. Results: Nurses strive to promote patient participation, they have also seen the importance of communication, information and the relationship between the patient and the nurse. Furthermore, they have identified circumstances that they feel are limitations to create conditions for patient participation. Conclusion: Patient participation is something that can easily be taken for granted by nurses, and something that they believe that they apply. By illustrating nurses experience can Health care hopefully create better conditions for professional and future nurses to apply patient participation.

Objective: When caring for a patient with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) it is difficult for the registered nurses to develop a good nurse-patient relationship due to a lack of understanding for the illness.  It is important for the nurse to understand the suffering that the AN patients experience, and what makes them feel better, to be able to improve the patient-nurse relationship. This study aims to explore what makes patients with AN feel better during the illness and the process of recovery.

Method: A qualitative scientific approach was used. Eight autobiographies were selected as data for this study. Both English and Swedish books were used. The data was analyzed using a qualitative method of data analysis.

Results: The ways patients with AN could feel better are presented in seven themes: being seen as a whole individual behind the illness, being able to trust and find security, taking responsibility for recovery, finding motivation to keep fighting towards recovery, when one's suffering is noticed, filling a void, and the strengthening of the relationship between care giver and patient. This study may help registered nurses understand the needs of the patient recovering from AN and help them meet these needs in a better way.


Avsikt: För sjuksköterskor är det svårt att utveckla en bra sjuksköterske-patient relation när de vårdar patienter med anorexia nervosa (AN), eftersom det finns brister i deras förståelse för sjukdomen. För att kunna stärka relationen mellan sjuksköterskor och patienter är det viktigt för sjuksköterskan att förstå det lidandet som patienter med AN upplever och vad som kan lindra det.  Syftet med denna studie är att utforska vad som får patienter med AN att må bättre under sjukdomens lopp och tillfrisknandet.

Metod: En kvalitativ metod valdes för att utföra studien. Sex självbiografier valdes som data till studien. Böcker skrivna på svenska och engelska användes. En kvalitativ dataanalys, enligt Dahlberg, användes för att tolka data.

Resultat: Resultatet presenteras i sju teman: att bli sedd som en individ bakom sjukdomen, att kunna känna tillit och hitta trygghet, att ta eget ansvar för tillfrisknandet, att hitta motivation för att fortsätta kämpa mot tillfrisknandet, att ens lidande uppmärksammas, att fylla ett tomrum efter sjukdomen och att stärka relationen mellan vårdare och patient. Denna studie kan hjälpa allmänna sjuksköterskor att förstå de behov patienter med AN har och hjälpa dem att bemöta deras behov på ett bra sätt.

Abstract:
En terapeutisk relation är viktig i omvårdnaden av patienter med ätstörningar och det är viktigt att sjuksköterskan är medveten om dess betydelse i omvårdnaden. Syftet var att undersöka hur en terapeutisk relation skapas samt dess betydelse i omvårdnaden mellan sjuksköterskan och patienten med ätstörning. För sjuksköterskor kan det vara utmanande att etablera en terapeutisk relation till patienter med ätstörningar, då det är vanligt att dessa patienter inte har sjukdomsinsikt. Sjuksköterskan kan använda sig av olika strategier och verktyg för att skapa en terapeutisk relation och en vårdande miljö. Studien genomfördes som en litteraturstudie och 12 vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades. Studiens resultat visar att om en terapeutisk relation ska kunna etableras krävs det kunskap, tid, respekt samt kontinuerlig information från sjuksköterskan till patienten. Mer forskning efterfrågas om den terapeutiska relationens betydelse i omvårdnaden kring patienter med ätstörning, då det inte fanns mycket forskning i ämnet. Även mer utbildning i sjuksköterskeprogrammet om omvårdnad vid psykisk ohälsa efterfrågas.
A therapeutic relationship is important in nursing care of patients with eating disorders and it is significant that the nurse is aware of the importance in the nursing care. The purpose was to investigate how a relationship is created and its significance in the care between the nurse and the patient with an eating disorder. It can be challenging for nurses to establish a therapeutic relationship with patients with eating disorders, because it is common that these patients do not have illness insight. The nurse can make use of different strategies and tools to develop a therapeutic relationship and a caring environment. The study was conducted as a litterature study and 12 scientific articles were analyzed. The result of the study shows that if a therapeutic relationship is going to be established it demands knowledge, time, respect and continuous information from the nurse to the patient. More scientific research about the therapeutic significance in the nursing care around patients with eating disorders is requested, since there was not much research on the subject. Even more education in the nursing programme for nursing care in mental health is enquired.

Abstract:
Att skapa en god vårdrelation mellan sjuksköterska och patient är en förutsättning för att patienten ska kunna delta och vara motiverad till att förbättra sin psykiska hälsa. Patienter med borderline personlighetsstörning (BPD) och självskadebeteende är patientgrupper som omnämns med en negativ attityd inom psykiatrisk omvårdnad. Vårt syfte med studien är sjuksköterskors beskrivning av faktorer som kan påverka vårdrelationen med patienter med BPD och självskadebeteende. Metoden är systematik litteraturstudie där sökning av vetenskapliga studier har gjort i databaserna OneSearch beta, Medline , Cinahl och PSYC-info. Studierna granskades utifrån modifierade kvalitetbedömningsprotokoll. Data analyserades, granskades och bygger på ramen för innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att patienter med BPD och patienter med självskadebeteende skapade känslor av bl.a. frustration och hopplöshet hos sjuksköterskor. Känslorna skapades av att inte kunna ge adekvat vård pga. resursbrist, kompetensbrist och brist på tillit från patienterna. Att inte vara överens i arbetsgruppen skapade känslor som påverkade patienternas vård negativt. Vår förhoppning är att fler studier kan göras, och resultaten tydliggöras för att få ökad kvalité på arbetet inom psykiatrisk omvårdnad för främst dessa patientgrupper.

Abstract:

Information ska ses som en integrerad del i god omvårdnad av den patient som befinner sig i det akuta skedet av en hjärtinfarkt och är en förutsättning för en god vård. Sjuksköterskans bemötande och kommunikation är en viktig del i omvårdnaden av patienten. Det är av betydelse att sjuksköterskan har en förmåga att förmedla kunskap, förståelse under de stressade förhållanden som ibland kan råda på en akutmottagning. På så sätt ges förutsättningar för att patienten att kunna vara delaktig och ha inflytande över sin egen vård och behandling. Syftet med studien är att belysa informationens betydelse för patienten i den akuta fasen av en hjärtinfarkt. Metoden som använts är en litteraturstudie och resultatet består av 12 artiklar, 10 kvalitativa och 2 kvantitativa. I resultatet finns fem kategorier: patientens upplevelse av information, sjuksköterskans roll vid information, kommunikation mellan sjuksköterska och patient, sjuksköterskans stöd till patienten samt patientens oro och rädsla. Resultatet i litteraturstudien belyser att bra information som talas i klartext minskar patientens oro, reducerar ångest och ökar patientens förståelse för sin sjukdom. Patienter som får relevant och individuell information känner även tillfredställelse med vården och upplever ökat välbefinnande.


Information should be seen as an integrated part in caring for patients´ that suffer from acute myocardial infarction. The nurse´s support and communication is an important part in caring for the patient. It is of significance that the nurse has an ability to provide knowledge and understanding under busy conditions in the emergency ward. In that way the patient can participate and have ability to take part in their own care and treatment.The aim with the study is to elucidate the information's importance for the patient at the acute phase of his myocardial infarction. The method that has been used is a literature study and the result comprizes in 12 articles, 10 qualitative and 2 quantitative. In the result, five categories has shown. These are: The patient´s experience of the information, the nurse´s roll when giving information, communication between the nurse and the patient, the nurses support to the patient and the patient´s anxiety and fear. The result in the literature study shows that good information in plain language reduces the patient´s worries and anxiety and increases the patient´s understanding of his/her condition. Patients who are given relevant and individual information feel satisfaction with the care and experience an increased well-being.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (2013) falls and medication errors in hospitals are among the first twenty leading causes of death. Research on the relationship between nurse staffing, patient falls, and medication errors are limited. Even scarcer are studies that examine this relationship on a nursing shift by shift and ward by ward basis, and no research exists on shift overlap periods and adverse patient outcomes. Objective: This study examined whether there was a relationship between hospital inpatient falls and medication errors and nurse staffing on a shift by shift and ward by ward basis, including an analysis of patient characteristics and the severity of incidents. Research Design: Multinomial logistic regression models were used. Data were collected using a secondary analysis of two existing databases: Advanced Incident Management System (AIMS) database and the nursing staff roster database (RoSTAR) over two years (January 2011 to December 2012). The Kane framework of nurse staffing was used to guide the current study. Setting: The study was conducted in three adult tertiary teaching hospitals in Perth, Western Australia. Participants: Reports of 7,558 incidents that occurred during the study period from 76 nursing wards and wards (4,677 medical, 2,209 surgical, and 672 critical care wards incidents), and 320,009 nursing shift records in three hospitals, were examined. Measures: The occurrence and severity of shift-level inpatient falls and medication errors were measured as dependent variables. Independent variables included nursing staff skill-mix, staff experience, and actual nursing hours. Control variables were shift, ward type, and hospital. Results: This study supports the importance of RN staffing levels in improving patient outcomes. However, it also shows that the relationship between nurse staffing and patient outcomes can be affected by different factors such as patient characteristics, nurse characteristics, and ward type. The number of total clinical incident reports decreased by 7.4% from 2011 to 2012. Falls declined by 4.6% and medication errors declined by 10.8%. The average age of patients who fell or had medication errors was 56.3 years (range of 15 to 100 years) but was more common in patients over 65 years old (57.3%). The number of incidents was highest during the morning shift, less during the evening and lowest during the night shift (28.4%, 27.2%, and 21.8% respectively). Notably, 22.6% of total incidents were reported during the overlap period (13:00 pm to 15:29 pm) which is only two and a half hours. Medical wards had the highest incident records followed by surgical wards; fewer incidents occurred in critical care wards (61.9%, 29.2%, and 8.9% respectively). More registered nurses and more experienced staff on the shift were both associated with fewer falls and medication error incidents, as well as less severe injuries. An increase in the actual nursing hours was associated with fewer medication errors but not fewer fall incidents. However, an increase in in the actual nursing hours was associated with less severe falls but not less severe medication errors. Conclusion: Overall, the fall and medication error incidents in three Perth hospitals decreased over the study period. However, the large variation in the incidents at both the shift and the ward level indicated room for improvement related to fall and medication error prevention. A relationship was identified between both more RNs and more experienced nurses in attendance and fewer incidents and less severe injuries. Further studies are necessary to identify prevention strategies for hospital falls and medication errors in the overlap period. Immediate consideration of the number of incidents that occurred during the overlap period is required. It is necessary to improve communication and teamwork among staff. Actions should be taken to review, implement and evaluate policies and procedures.

Abstract:
Background The care relationship is central for psychiatric nursing. People with a psychosis diagnosis encounter symptoms that result in difficulties for the interpersonal communication. Stigma and previous experiences of compulsory care are obstacles that hinder or complicate the patient's participation in their care. A person-centered caring relationship increases adherence and the patient's possibility to be a part of their recovery. Therefore it is important for the psychiatric nurse to gain a deeper understanding of what specific strategies and practices the nurse uses to enhance the potential of the care relationship and provide a person-centered care. Aim The aim of the study is to describe the nurse´s experience of the care relationship with people who have a psychosis diagnosis. Method The study was conducted at two outpatient facilitations in Sweden. Eight nurses were asked about their experiences of the care relationship during individual semi-structured interviews. The data was analyzed by using a qualitative content analysis. Results The result was presented in three categories; Trust - essential for a supportive care relationship, Careful perception of the person's boundaries and conditions and Structural possibilities and limitations. The three categories consisted of six subcategories that emphasized the importance of the nurse creating trust and an equal meeting. The care relationship was related to getting to know the person’s history by using the nurse’s personal characteristics and how the nurse handled challenging conditions. Difficulties in creating such a relationship could be demands from the organization or the power dynamics within the health care facilitation. Conclusion By creating trust and an equal meeting the nurse is able to get to know the person’s history and thereby provide a person-centered care for people with psychosis diagnosis.

Abstract:
Background: Since the beginning of the epidemic, more than 70 million people have been infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and the disease continues to be a public health issue all around the world. There are around 42.000 people in the Philippines living with HIV and therefor the nurses and other health care personal play a key part of the persons lives when undergoing treatments. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe Philippine nurses’ experiences of caring for patients with HIV. Method: A qualitative method was used and data was collected through semi structured interviews with five Philippine nurses at a hospital in Baguio. The interviews were analyzed with qualitative content analysis. Results: The findings resulted in two main themes. The first theme, Nurse patient relationship, shows that a nurse patient relationship is important when caring for HIV patients, including getting to know the patient, the importance of trust and giving person centered care. Factors that may be obstacles in the process of building a relationship is also included in this theme. The second theme, Important aspects of caring, including factors such as having conversations, listening and supporting the patient. Discussion: The main findings were discussed in relation to the literature and Travelbee’s human to human theory. The main focus in the discussion was the nurse and patient relationship and important aspects of caring for HIV patients.
Bakgrund: Mer än 70 miljoner personer har drabbats av Humant immunbristvirus (HIV) sedan epidemin startade och sjukdomen är idag fortfarande ett globalt hälsoproblem. I Filippinerna lever cirka 42 tusen personer med HIV och därför har sjuksköterskor och annan sjukvårdspersonal en viktig roll i patienternas liv när det gäller att möta och vårda dessa patienter. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva Filippinska sjuksköterskors upplevelse av att vårda patienter med HIV. Metod: För att genomföra studien användes en kvalitativ metod där data samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem Filippinska sjuksköterskor på ett sjukhus i Baguio. Intervjuerna analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet i studien inkluderar två huvudteman. I det första temat: relationen mellan sjuksköterskan och patienten, beskrivs vikten av att skapa en relation med sina patienter. För att skapa en relation bör sjuksköterskan lära känna patienten, skapa tillit och ge personcentrerad vård. Hinder och svårigheter i processen att skapa en förtroendefull relation med sin patient tas även upp i detta tema. I det andra temat beskrivs viktiga aspekter som sjuksköterskorna bör ha i åtanke när de träffar och vårdar patienter med HIV. Diskussion: Resultatet från intervjuerna i studien diskuterades i relation till relevant litteratur och Travelbee’s teori. Fokus i diskussionen var relationen mellan sjuksköterskan och patienten samt viktiga aspekter vid vårdande av HIV patienter.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore nurse-patient encounters from the perspective of the Home Healthcare Registered Nurse. A qualitative descriptive design was used to collect data from a purposive sample of 20 home healthcare registered nurses from Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island currently or previously employed as a home healthcare nurse. Four themes and one interconnecting theme emerged from the data: Objective Language; Navigating the Unknown; Mitigating Risk; Looking for Reciprocality in the Encounter; and the interconnecting theme of Acknowledging Not All Nurse-Patient Encounters Go Well. One goal of the study was to propose an empirically informed definition of what constituted a difficult encounter. An important early finding was that the terms difficult patient and difficult encounter were not generally used by study participants. HHC RNs voiced a preference for objective and nonjudgmental language to communicate outcomes of nurse-patient encounters. Three types of HHC RN-patient interactions emerged from the data, with constructive encounters the norm and non-constructive or destructive encounters less frequent. A constructive encounter is when two or more human beings, the nurse on the one side, and the patient, caregiver, or both on the other, interact to achieve a mutually agreed upon outcome. A nonconstructive encounter is when one or more human beings obstruct efforts to achieve at least one positive outcome. A destructive encounter is when one or more human beings direct anger at or physically aggress toward another human being. Strategies to promote reciprocality are routinely employed during HHC RN-patient encounters, but HHC RNs who miss cues that a strategy is ineffective or failed may be at risk in the home. Study data lend support to key concepts, assumptions, and propositions of Travelbee’s (1971) Human-to-Human Relationship Model. Study results provide a foundation for further research to increase the understanding, recognition, and development of empirically derived responses to non-constructive or destructive encounters such that HHC RNs are safe and best able to meet patients’ healthcare needs.

Abstract:
BAKGRUND: Sverige har de senaste decennierna blivit ett multikulturellt samhälle. En god kommunikation är en viktig aspekt i omvårdnaden. Om patienten och sjuksköterska inte kan kommunicera med varandra, leder det till onödigt lidande för patienten och en påfrestande situation för sjuksköterskan. De kulturella aspekterna kan påverka kommunikationen och vårdmötet med patienter med annan kulturell bakgrund. Tidigare artiklar visar vikten av att sjuksköterskan har kunskap om andra kulturer. SYFTE: Syftet är att belysa hur sjuksköterskor upplever vårdmöten med patienter från annan kulturell bakgrund. METOD: En kvalitativ litteraturstudie togs fram för att få svar på studiens syfte. RESULTAT: Tre huvudteman framträdde: Kulturkompetensbrist, kommunikationssvårigheter samt kulturhinder i vårdmötet. Det största problemet som framkom grundades i språkbarriärer. Sjuksköterskorna i de inkluderade artiklarna utryckte att vården av patienterna påverkades negativt då patienten inte kunde tala språket. Sjuksköterskorna uttryckte även att de hade liten kunskap om patienternas kultur. KONKLUSION: Sjuksköterskorna behöver mer kunskap om andra kulturer, vara öppna inför patienten och visa respekt för andras tankar och värderingar. Dessutom behövs det mer forskning om kulturell kompetens och mer resurser i form av tolk samt anställning av fler sjuksköterskor bland annat med utländsk bakgrund.
BACKGROUND: Sweden has become a multicultural society the last decades. A good communication is an important aspect in nursing. If patient and nurse can‟t communicate with each other, it may lead to unnecessary suffering for the patient and a trying situation for the nurses. The cultural aspects can affect the encounter and the communication with a patient from a different culture. Earlier studies show the importance of knowledge about other cultures among the nurses. AIM: The purpose of the study is to describe nurses‟ experience in the encounter with patient from a different culture background. METHODS: A qualitative literature study is designed to find an answer to the purpose of the study. RESULTS: Three main categories were found; Culture competence acknowledges communication difficulties and cultural obstacle in the nursing encounter. The main problem in all the study was language barriers. Nurses experienced that they didn´t give the same individual care to those patient who couldn´t speak the language. Nurses also expressed that they had little knowledge about the patients‟ culture. CONCLUSION: The nurses need more knowledge about other cultures, be open-minded and show respect for others thoughts and values. It´s need for more research about cultural competence and more resources as nurses and translators and employment of more nurses with foreign background.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Många sjukdomar och behandlingar inverkar på sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa och/eller funktion [SRHF]. Sjuksköterskor [SSK] har ansvar att lyfta detta med patienter, enligt lag samt nationella styrdokument. Patientens rättigheter innefattar erhålla adekvat och tillräcklig information för att delaktigt kunna ta informerade beslut om sin vård. Trots detta uppger SSK och patienter att samtalet inte förs. Syfte: Litteraturöversiktens syfte är att belysa vilka påverkande faktorer SSK upplever i att diskutera sexuell- och reproduktiv hälsa och funktion med patienter. Metod: En allmän litteraturöversikt baserad på sex kvalitativa och fyra kvantitativa artiklar. De analyserades sedan med hjälp av innehållsanalys. Resultat: En kombination av flera faktorer påverkar SSK i att samtala om SRHF. Dessa har identifierats och kategoriserats. ”Rädsla för obekväm stämning” är ett latent tema som genomsyrar resten av de identifierade kategorierna ”Utbildning och självförtroende” ”Någon annans ansvar” ”Attityder till patientens sexualitet” ”Vårdrelationen och vårdmiljön” och ”Kultur och normer”. Slutsats: SSK avsexualiserar patienten som en lättare utväg. Att fortsätta ignorera patienters SRHF kommer inte hjälpa SSK lindra patienters lidande. Klinisk betydelse: Dessa identifierade faktorer är inget nytt. Diskussionen belyser dock nya aspekter av SSK maktroll i frågan. Förhoppningsvis kan litteraturöversikten inspirera till förändring och vidare forskning.
Background: Many diseases and treatments may affect one’s sexual and reproductive health and/or function [SRHF]. Nurses have responsibility raising the subject with patients by law and national guidelines. Patients’ rights include partaking of correct and enough information to make informed decisions regarding treatment. In spite this patients and nurses state the subject is not broached enough. Aim: The aim is to describe what affecting factors nurses’ experience in discussing SRHF with patients. Method: A general literature review based on six qualitative and four quantitative articles. The articles were analyzed through content analysis. Result: A combination of multiple factors affect nurses’ conversations about SRHF. These have been identified and categorized. “Fear of uncomfortable atmosphere” is a latent theme throughout the other categories “Education and confidence” “Someone else’s responsibility” “Attitudes towards patients’ sexuality”. “Care relationship and ward environment” and “Culture and norms”. Conclusion: The nurses’ desexulization of the patient is an easy way out. Ignoring SRHF will not enable nurses to relieve patients’ suffering. Clinical significance: These identified factors are nothing new. The discussion enlighten new aspects of the nurses’ role of authority in this. Hopefully this review may inspire change and further research.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effects of relationship-based care (RBC) on patient satisfaction. RBC is a caring model that promotes a caring and healing environment by establishing and maintaining therapeutic relationships between patient, self, and coworker. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services links Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores with reimbursement to hospitals. It is essential to not only achieve high patient satisfaction scores in order to ensure full financial reimbursement, but also to ensure high quality, patient-centered care. The current project assessed samples from 2 medical surgical groups, one system-wide and the other only patients from a single inpatient unit with sample sizes approximately 2,900 and 250 respectively. Data were collected retrospectively 3 times using the Press Ganey webpage at pre implementation, 6 months, and 12 months post RBC training. Results from an ANOVA indicated only a slight increase in post intervention HCAHPS scores with no statistical significant improvement. However, this increase indicates a positive trend, suggesting that the implementation of RBC may have assisted in improving patient responses. This evaluation has implications for the continued implementation for the enhancement of patient-centered care. These findings suggest that a nursing care model provides a collective belief to define a specific attitude to deliver care, facilitate professional development, and improve outcomes. By following RBC, nurses share a similar philosophy toward a caring environment.

Full text
Abstract:
Bakgrund: Ett bra bemötande karaktäriseras av ett respektfullt, kompetent och empatiskt samspel som är individanpassat. Patienter med substansbrukssyndrom är en grupp som uppfattas som vårdkrävande och är föremål för stigmatisering, därmed kan bemötandet ses som en utmaning. Patientcentrerad vård innebär att sträva efter individens välmående. Med hjälp av ett motiverande förhållningssätt kan sjuksköterskan öka patienternas empowerment. Syfte: Att undersöka hur patienter med substansbrukssyndrom upplever bemötandet från vårdpersonal, med fokus på sjuksköterskor. Metod: Litteraturöversikt där både kvalitativa och kvantitativa artiklar ingick. Resultat: Tre kategorier angående bemötande identifierades: att se hela individen, vårdande möte och stigma. Under varje kategori urskildes både positiva och negativa upplevelser av bemötande. Diskussion: Ett patientcentrerat förhållningssätt kan förstås som ett empatiskt, omtänksamt, engagerat och hjälpsamt bemötande. Många patienter hade upplevelser av diskriminering och stigmatisering inom vården, detta kunde delvis förklaras som en maktobalans i relationen mellan vårdgivare och patient.  Slutsats: Sjuksköterskans bemötande kan både öka och minska vårdlidande. Ett gott bemötande är betydelsefullt för att främja hälsa och optimera resultatet av vården. Omvårdnaden av personer med substansbrukssyndrom kan förbättras.
Introduction: The responsibility of the nurse is to have competence and to treat every patient with respect and empathy. Patients with substance use disorders are a group that can be viewed as a group with a large demand of care. They are exposed to stigmatization and therefor they need specialized care. The meaning of patient centered care is to strive to optimize every individual’s well-being. Nurses may increase patient’s empowerment through a motivating approach. Aim: To explore patients’ perceptions of the nurse-patient relation of patients with substance use disorder. Method: A literature review, including both qualitative and quantitative studies. Result: Three categories were identified: To see the whole person, caring encounter and stigma. Both positive and negative aspects of every category were discovered. Discussion: A patient centered approach can be understood as an emphatic, caring, committed and helpful encounter. Many patients had experiences of discrimination and stigma during care. This could partly be understood as an unbalanced power-control relationship between caregiver and patient. Conclusion: The nurses actions can increase as well as decrease patients suffering. A caring encounter is important to promote health and to optimize the results of care. There is room for development of nursing skills in care of patients with substance use disorders.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Det finns ingen enskild orsak till att en människa hamnar i ett substansmissbruk. Ett missbruk medför vissa hälsorisker vilket gör att den här gruppen människor sannolikt kommer komma i kontakt med vården. I samhället har substansmissbrukare stigmatiserats vilket kan påverka sjuksköterskans bemötande. Syfte: Att belysa aspekter som bidrar till sjuksköterskors attityder till patienter med substansmissbruk och hur attityderna påverkar vården. Metod: Litteraturöversikten är baserad på tolv vetenskapliga studier. Studierna analyserades för likheter och skillnader. Dessa diskuterades och när författarna var överens skrevs det in i litteraturöversiktens resultat. Resultat: Resultatet visade att sjuksköterskors tidigare erfarenheter hade en stor inverkan på hur sjuksköterskorna såg på patienterna och hur deras attityder gav sig uttryck. Sjuksköterskornas tidigare erfarenheter bidrog till en rädsla och osäkerhet hos många dem. Den professionella kompetensen visade sig spela in då kunskapen om hur ett missbruk påverkar patienterna inte var tillräcklig hos många sjuksköterskor vilket hindrade dem att se människan. Sjuksköterskor med en hög vårdvetenskaplig medvetenhet klarade av det bättre. Diskussion: Diskussionen har Erikssons teori om lidande och konsensusbegreppet vårdande som teoretisk utgångspunkt. Sjuksköterskans attityder påverkar vårdrelationen och negativa attityder skapar ett onödigt vårdlidande och sjukdomslidande på grund av att information riskerar att missats. Samhällets stigmatisering påverkar hur sjuksköterskan ser på missbrukaren som patient. Ett paternalistiskt förhållningssätt kan vara nödvändigt för att patienten ska få en framtida autonomi.
Background: There is no singular reason why a person ends up in substance abuse. Substance abuse poses health risks, which means that they will come in contact with health services. In the society the substance abusers are stigmatized which may affect the nurses’ behavior towards them. Aim: Highlighting the aspects that contribute to the nurse’s attitudes towards patients with a substance abuse problem and how the attitudes affect the health care. Method: The literature review is based on twelve scientific studies. The studies were analyzed toillustrate the similarities and differences. These were discussed and when the authors agreed it was written into the literature review's results. Results: The results showed that the nurse’s previous experiences had a big impact on how the nurses saw patients and how their attitudes influenced their expression. Previous experience contributed to fear and insecurity among many of the nurses. The professional competence turned out to have an impact because the nurse’s lack of knowledge of how an addiction affects prevented them to see the patient as a human being. Nurses with a high level of caring awareness managed this better. Discussion: The discussion includes Ericsson’s theory of suffering and the metaparadigm caring. Nurses’ attitudes affect the care relationship and that negative attitudes create an unnecessary suffering related to care and illness because there is a risk of information being overlooked. Social stigma affects how the nurses perceive the addict as a patient. A paternalistic approach may be necessary to increase the patients’ chances to have a future autonomy.

Abstract:
Bakgrund Förutfattade meningar mot vårdpersonal är ett fenomen inom vården, särskilt mot manliga sjuksköterskor, som är en minoritet inom sjuksköterskeyrket. Tidigare forskning har fokuserat på specifika problemsituationer som uppstår i yrket för manliga sjuksköterskor, samhällets syn på manliga sjuksköterskor och att manliga sjuksköterskor priviligierats i arbetsgruppen. I litteraturen nämns ofta olika förutfattade meningar om manliga sjuksköterskor, trots att det saknas forskning med fokus på manliga sjuksköterskors egna upplevelser av förutfattade meningar mot dem. Syfte Syftet med studien är att belysa vilka förutfattade meningar som manliga sjuksköterskor upplever finns mot dem. Metod Litteraturstudie i form av en beskrivande metasyntes. Resultat Manliga sjuksköterskor upplever flera förutfattade meningar som presenteras i fyra teman: “accepteras inte som sjuksköterskor”, “muskler, lyfthjälp och tekniskkompetens”, “antas vara homosexuella” och “antas ha sexuella avsikter motpatienter”. Slutsats Upplevda förutfattade meningar kan påverka manliga sjuksköterskors syn på sig själv och yrkesrollen samt patientmötet och omvårdnaden. Dessa förutfattade meningar kan skapa konflikter och missnöje på arbetsplatsen vilket kan störa patientmötet och vårdrelationen. Klinisk Betydelse Genom att belysa förutfattade meningar som manliga sjuksköterskor upplever kan åtgärder vidtas för att motverka dem som påverkar vårdarbetet negativt.
Background Preconceptions against health care workers is a phenomenon in health care, especially against male nurses, who are a minority within the nursing profession. Previous research has focused on specific problematic situations that arise in the profession for male nurses, society's view of male nurses and the fact that male nurses are privileged in the workgroup. Literature often mentions various preconceptions about male nurses, despite the lack of research focusing on male nurses' own experiences of prejudice against them. Purpose The purpose of this study is to shed light on the preconceptions that male nurses are experiences towards themselves. Method Literature review in the form of a descriptive meta-synthesis. Results Male nurses experience several preconceptions which are presented in four key concepts: "not accepted as nurses", "muscles, lift assistance and technical skills", "are assumed to be gay" and "are assumed to have sexual intentions towards patients". Conclusion Experienced preconceptions can affect male nurses' view of themselves and the professional role, meeting the patient and nursing care. These preconceptions can create conflicts and grievances in the workplace which can disrupt the nurse-patient relationship. Clinical Significance By shedding light on the preconceptions that male nurses are experiencing measures can be taken to reduce the ones that affect nursing work negatively.

Abstract:
Background: Animals are used in several health care areas and have been shown to promote many aspects of patients’ health. Animals have potential for use in nurses’ health promotion work. Nurses need a deeper understanding of the importance and health-promoting properties of animal-assisted therapy. Aim: The aim was to describe the importance of animal assisted therapy for patients’ health. Methods: A literature review was conducted based on ten nursing science studies with both qualitative and quantitative approaches, which were selected after critical review. Only articles that corresponded to the purpose of the literature review were included. The authors read the selected articles thoroughly and compared the similarities and differences in the articles’ results. The results were compiled in different categories. Results: The results show that animal-assisted therapy has a positive impact on three categories: bodily health, psychological well-being and social interplay. Bodily health includes physical activity and physical presence. Psychological well-being includes emotions and self-perceived health and well-being. Social interplay includes the interaction with animals and other people. Discussions: The strengths of the literature review that are discussed in the methodological discussion are the chosen databases, the combination of quantitative and qualitative articles, the quality assessment of articles and the articles’ geographical spread. One weakness that is discussed is the possibility of misinterpretation in the analysis of the quantitative results. The results are discussed in relation to Eriksson's (1989) theory of nursing "tend, play, learn”. “Play” is the part of Eriksson's theory that emerges most clearly in the results. “Learning” also plays a distinct role in the outcome but “tending” does not emerge quite as clear. The result also has a strong connection to the nursing metaparadigm “health”.
Bakgrund: Djur används i flera områden i sjukvården och har visat sig främja många aspekter av hälsa för patienter. Djur kan med fördel användas i sjuksköterskans hälsofrämjande arbete. Sjuksköterskor behöver en bredare insikt i den djurassisterade omvårdnadens betydelse för patienter och dess hälsofrämjande egenskaper. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva den djurassisterade omvårdnadens betydelse för patienters hälsa. Metod: En litteraturöversikt genomfördes baserad på tio vetenskapliga studier med både kvalitativa och kvantitativa ansatser, vilka valdes ut efter kritisk granskning. Endast artiklar som svarade mot litteraturöversiktens syfte inkluderades. Författarna läste de utvalda artiklarna grundligt och jämförde likheter och skillnader i deras resultat. Resultaten sammanställdes i olika kategorier. Resultat: Resultatet visar att djurassisterad omvårdnad har en positiv inverkan på tre kategorier: kroppslig hälsa, psykiskt välbefinnande samt socialt samspel. Den kroppsliga hälsan omfattar bland annat fysisk aktivitet och fysisk närvaro. Den psykiska välbefinnandet innefattar känslor samt självupplevd hälsa och välbefinnande. Det sociala samspelet inrymmer interaktion med djuret och andra människor. Diskussion: Litteraturöversiktens styrkor som diskuteras i metoddiskussionen är använda databaser, kombinationen av kvantitativa och kvalitativa resultatartiklar, kvalitetsgranskning av artiklarna samt artiklarnas geografiska spridning. Svagheter som diskuteras är risken för feltolkning vid analys av och begränsad djupförståelse i de kvantitativa resultaten. I resultatdiskussionen relateras resultatet till Erikssons (1989) omvårdnadsteori “ansa, leka, lära”. Lekandet är den del av Erikssons teori som framträder tydligast. Även lärandet spelar en tydlig roll i resultatet men ansandet framträder ej lika tydligt. Resultatet har även en stark anknytning till konsensusbegreppet hälsa.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Brister i kommunikation och informationsöverföring är en av de största orsakerna till vårdskador. För att arbeta mot en säkrare vård måste patienterna bli delaktiga. Delaktiga patienter är nyckeln till personcentrerad och säker vård. Ett sätt att involvera patienterna är genom att de får delta i bedsiderapportering. Syfte: Att beskriva patienters upplevelser när sjuksköterskor använder bedsiderapportering vid skiftbyten.  Metod: En litteraturöversikt med induktiv ansats, baserad på sju artiklar med kvalitativ design och tre artiklar med mixad design. Artiklarna är hämtade från CINAHL och Medline. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i två teman, inkluderande vårdrelation och samtal på lika villkor. Patienterna upplevde att bedsiderapportering kunde främja delaktighet i vården, patienterna fick vara en del av informationsutbytet och bidra med meningsfull information. Patienternas känsla av trygghet ökade och sjukhusupplevelsen förbättrades vid säkerställandet av informationsutbytet. Däremot framkom även önskan från patienterna om ökat deltagande, bibehållen konfidentialitet och bli inbjuden i bedsiderapporteringen av sjuksköterskorna. Slutsats: Resultatet framhäver både positiva och negativa upplevelser. Bedsiderapportering kan vara ett steg mot mer personcentrerad vård men ytterligare riktlinjer behövs som berör hur konfidentialiteten bör hanteras. Framtida forskning behövs för att studera om metoden är lämplig för alla patientgrupper.
Background: Healthcare related injuries are often caused by insufficient communication and poor transferring of information. To make healthcare better the patients need to be included in the process. Keeping the patients involved is the key to patient-centred and safer health care. One way to involve the patient is through implementing “bedside handover”. Aim: To describe patient’s experiences when nurses implement bedside handover during shift change. Method: The study is a literature review with an inductive approach, based on seven articles with a qualitative method and three articles with mixed methods. The articles were taken from the databases CINAHL and Medline. Results: The results generated in in two themes: healthcare relationship and conversations on equal terms. The patients experienced that bedside handover could promote participation in care, patients could be a part of the information exchange and contribute with meaningful information. Patients' sense of security increased, and the hospital experience improved when they could secure the information. However, some patients wished for increased participation, maintained confidentiality and to be more invited to participate in the nursing bedside handover. Conclusion: The result highlights both positive and negative experiences. Bedside reporting can be a step toward more person-centered care, but additional guidelines are needed that address how confidentiality should be handled. Future research is needed to study whether the method is appropriate for all patient groups.

Abstract:
Background: Previous research shows that language barriers can make it difficult for patients and nurses to communicate and understand each other. Communication enables patients to express their suffering to nurses, but language barriers can prevent this and thus affect the nurse-patient relationship. Although there are language barriers, nurses can create trust by showing willingness to care. The purpose: The aim of the study is to describe nurses' experiences of how language barriers affects the nurse-patient relationship. The method: A qualitative systematic literature study with a descriptive synthesis. Results: The result presented two themes and four sub-themes. The theme Willingness to do good contained sub-men A willingness to care and To receive support to promote communication. The theme Obstacles in caring contained sub-men An emotional distance and Does not understand. Conclusion: Language barriers, on the one hand, were found to limit the possibility of establishing a nurse-patient relationship, on the other hand, a nurse-patient relationship could develop into a caring relationship despite language barriers. Interpreters were necessary to be able to make contact with the patients, while being able to create a distance between the nurses and the patients.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine if the level of Nurse Manager (NM) emotional intelligence (EI) predicted registered nurse (RN) job satisfaction and RN perceptions of the practice environment. In addition, relationships to patient, nursing, and hospital outcomes were explored. Participants included RNs (N=659) and NMs (N=38) from 53 nursing units at eight hospitals located in the southeast region of the United States. A cross-sectional, correlational research design was used to test the hypotheses. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients, simple linear and multiple regression statistics were conducted to analyze the data. Level of NM EI had a positive, not significant relationshp to RN job satisfaction and RN perceptions of the practice environment. A direct, positive significant relationship was observed between the variables NM EI and patient satisfaction with nursing care. There was a positive, significant relationship noted between the variables RN job satisfaction and RN perceptions of the practice environment. The indirect relationships between the level of NM EI and patient, nursing and hospital outcomes were not significant. There was a direct significant, positive relationship noted between the variables RN perceptions of the practice environment and patient satisfaction with nursing care. In addition, the interaction between RN job satisfaction and RN hours of care had a positive, significant relationship with unit level pressure ulcer rates. This study indicated that units with higher RN hours of care have increased pressure ulcer rates. In addition, results illustrate a marked increase in pressure ulcer rates on those units with higher levels of job satisfaction. In this study, pressure ulcer rates depended on the level of RN job satisfaction.

Abstract:

Individualiserad omvårdnad är något både patienter och sjukvårdspersonal strävar efter. För att legitimera individualiserad omvårdnad som eftersträvansvärd krävs dock en förankring av begreppet i omvårdnadsvetenskaplig litteratur. Studiens syfte är att utifrån omvårdnadsvetenskaplig litteratur undersöka:

• Vad individualiserad omvårdnad är

• Hur denna individualiserade omvårdnad beskrivs i omvårdnadsteoretisk litteratur

• Hur individualiserad omvårdnad kan uppnås

• Hur omvårdnad kan se ut när den inte är individualiserad

Datamaterialet består av omvårdnadsteoretisk litteratur från sent 1800-tal fram till idag och resultatet visar att individualiserad omvårdnad är grunden för god omvårdnad. Denna goda och individualiserade omvårdnad skapas i en jämbördig relation mellan sjuksköterska och patient, en relation där sjuksköterskan lyssnar och kommunicerar. Resultatet har bidragit till påvisande av ett antal attribut, vilka är: Relation, inlevelse, delaktighet och helhet. Dessa bildar en förståelse av det sammansatta begreppet individualiserad omvårdnad.


Individualized care is something both patients and healthcare personnel strive for. To legitimate individualized care as something to strive for an abutment to nursing care theories is necessary. The aim of this study is to investigate:

• What individualized care is

• How it is described in scientific nursing care literature

• How individualized care can be obtained

• What the caring process can look like when it is not individualized

The data consists of scientific nursing literature from late 19thcentury to present time and the result shows that individualized care is the foundation that good care is built upon. Good and individualized care is created in an equal relationship between nurse and patient, a relationship where the nurse listens and communicates a good and individualized care is created. The study has contributed to point out a number of attributes including: relation, empathy, participation and entirety. These attributes constitute to an understanding of the compounded concept individualized care.

Full text
Abstract:
Bakgrund: Tidigare forskning visade på att sjuksköterskor tenderade att ha en negativ bild av missbrukare, samtidigt som de uttryckte att de ändå gav god omvårdnad. Missbrukspatienterna ansågs ha ett stort eget ansvar för sin sjukdom. De negativa attityderna sågs ofta som direkt orsakade av kunskapsbrist. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva hur några sjuksköterskor uppfattade mötet med missbrukare på en akutmottagning i en svensk storstad. Metod: Intervjustudie med kvalitativ ansats, där det manifesta innehållet analyserades. Resultat: Kunskapsbrist inom området beroendelära ansågs vara en faktor som påverkade mötet negativt. Sjuksköterskorna visade respekt för patienten och poängterade vikten av att ha empatisk förmåga. Patientgruppen ansågs generellt som svårhanterlig på grund av ovilja att samarbeta och de hotfulla situationer som ibland uppkom i samband med alkohol och narkotikapåverkan. Hopplöshet infann sig inför det faktum att sjuksköterskan försökte göra allt för denna patientgrupp, men inte såg några framsteg. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskorna hade en generellt sett positiv uppfattning av mötet och de viktigaste delarna för att skapa ett gott möte var kunskap, empati och respekt. Utbredd kunskapsbrist inom beroendelära var ett hinder för att skapa ett bra möte.
Background: Previous research showed that nurses tended to hold a negative image of substance abusers, but they still provided good care for the group. Substance abusers held a great responsibility for their own illness. The negative attitudes were often seen as directly caused by lack of knowledge. Aim: To describe how some nurses perceived the meeting with substance abusers at an emergency room in a Swedish city. Method: Interview-study with a qualitative approach, where the analysis was conducted with content analysis on the manifest contents. Result: Lack of knowledge about addiction affected the meeting in a negative way. The nurse showed respect for the patient and empathized the need for empathetic ability in nursing. Overall substance abusers were seen as an unwieldy group due to their inability to cooperate and the threatening situations which sometimes occurred. The fact that the nurse tried to do everything in her power to help the patient, but didn't see any progress generated feelings of hopelessness. Conclusion: The nurses had an overall positive perception of the meeting and the most important components to create a good meeting were knowledge, empathy and respect. Lack of knowledge about addiction was a hindrance for creating a good meeting.

Abstract:
Background: In Ghana, many women die every year due to preventable causes related to pregnancy and child birth. Several national strategies have been made to improve women’s access to essential maternal health care. Still there is a significant inequality in the number of women attending to maternal health care in between different parts of the country. An important determinant that affects women’s utilization of the subsidized maternal health care is the quality of health care, including the health providers’ attitudes to their patients. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe nurses’ experiences of interacting with women in a maternal health care context within primary care in Ghana. Method: Five qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted at three different primary health care clinics. Content analysis was used to analyse the data. Results: Three main-themes, patient compliance, building trust and nursing strategies and ten sub-themes were identified. Conclusion: Although the nurses expressed a desire to have more women attend maternal health care, they seemed unaware of how their own behaviour might contribute to the current underutilization. A hierarchical power imbalance within the nurse-patient interactions, where the patients were perceived and treated as subordinate passive receivers of the nurses’ expertise, was identified. The nurses’ lack of critical approach towards their own actions might be at the source of this underutilization. Suggestion for further research: The authors recommend further studies to explore nurses’ ability to allow self-reflective critical thinking and also how implementation of a more patient-centred approach in Ghana would affect the quality of health care.
Bakgrund: Varje år dör många kvinnor i Ghana på grund av förebyggbara komplikationer relaterade till graviditet och förlossning. Flera nationella strategier har genomförts i syfte att ge fler kvinnor tillgång till nödvändig mödrahälsovård. Trots det råder en signifikant skillnad i andel kvinnor som söker mödrahälsovård mellan olika delar av landet. En viktig faktor som påverkar utnyttjandet av den subventionerade mödrahälsovården är vårdkvaliteten, inklusive vårdpersonalens bemötande. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av bemötande av kvinnor i en mödrahälsovårdskontext inom primärvården i Ghana. Metod: Fem kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes vid tre olika primärvårdskliniker. Innehållsanalys användes for att analysera insamlad data. Resultat: Tre huvudteman, patientföljsamhet, bygga förtroende och omvårdnadsstrategier och tio underteman hittades i resultatet. Slutsats: Trots att sjuksköterskorna uttryckte en vilja att få fler kvinnor att nyttja tillgänglig mödrahälsovård så verkade de omedvetna om hur deras eget agerande skulle kunna bidra till att kvinnorna väljer att inte söka vård. En hierarkisk maktobalans inom sjuksköterskornas vårdrelation med patienterna framträdde genom intervjuerna, där patienterna sågs och bemöttes som underordnade, passiva mottagare av sjuksköterskornas expertis. Sjuksköterskornas brist på kritiskt förhållningssätt till egna insatser kan göra att de oavsiktligt arbetar emot sina egna mål. Förslag på fortsatta studier: Ytterligare studier för att utforska sjuksköterskors förmåga att tillämpa kritiskt tänkande rekommenderas samt vilken nytta det skulle vara för kvaliteten på omvårdnaden om ett mer patientcentrerat förhållningssätt implementerades inom vården i Ghana.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Målet med omvårdnad är att uppnå hälsa hos patienten genom ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt. Många sjuksköterskor uttrycker att de vill ge god omvårdnad men begreppets innebörd förefaller skilja sig åt sjuksköterskor emellan. Att tillämpa god omvårdnad förhindras av strukturella samt organisatoriska barriärer vilket påverkar patientsäkerheten. För att diskrepansen mellan kunskapen om vad god omvårdnad innebär och kvaliteten på den omvårdnad som ges ska minska, behövs ökad kunskap om vad patienter uppfattar som god omvårdnad. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa patienternas uppfattning om vad god omvårdnad innebär inom slutenvården. Metod: Litteraturöversikten har utförts i enlighet med Fribergs metod. Sökningar utfördes i databaserna CINAHL complete, PsychINFO och PubMed, vilket resulterade i tio kvalitativa artiklar som analyserades och tematiserades och därmed utgör resultatet. Resultat: Två huvudteman och fem subteman identifierades; Ett personcentrerat vårdande med subtemana; Se mig, jag är unik, Behovet av en medmänsklig relation samt Betydelsen av sjuksköterskans närvaro. Sjuksköterskans förhållningssätt med subtemana; Compassion-en vårdande hållning samt Vikten av kompetens och information. Diskussion: Litteraturöversiktens metod diskuteras utifrån dess styrkor och svagheter. Resultatet diskuteras i relation till begreppen i Jean Watsons omvårdnadsteori. God omvårdnad karakteriseras enligt patienterna av en närvarande sjuksköterska vars personliga hållning präglas av compassion. Hållningen främjar en medmänsklig vårdrelation och ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt.
Background: The purpose of nursing care is to achieve patient health through a person-centred approach. Many nurses claim that they want to provide good nursing care but the concept varies between nurses. Implementing good nursing care is prevented by structural and organisational barriers that affect patient safety. To reduce the discrepancy between the knowledge of what quality care means and the quality of the actual care provided, increased knowledge of what patients perceive as good nursing care is needed. Aim: The aim was to illuminate patients’ perceptions of what good nursing care signifies in an inpatient setting. Method: The literature review has been made in accordance with Fribergs method. Searches were conducted using the databases CINAHL complete, PsychINFO and PubMed, resulting in ten qualitative articles that were analyzed and thematized and thus constitute the result. Results: Two main themes and five subthemes were identified; A person-centred care with the subthemes; See me, I am unique, The need for a person to person relationship and The importance of the presence of the nurse. The nurses’ approach with the subthemes; Compassion- a caring attitude and The importance of competence and information. Discussion: The method of the literature review is discussed from its strengths and weaknesses. The result of the literature review is discussed in relation to the concepts in Jean Watsons’ nursing theory. Good nursing care is characterized according to patients by a present nurse whose personal attitude is characterized by compassion. The attitude favours a human caring relationship and a person-centred approach.

Full text
Abstract:
Bakgrund: I Sverige är det vanligaste större gynekologiska ingreppet hysterektomi, som innebär att livmodern avlägsnas. Denna operation kan vara påfrestande för kvinnan på grund av att livmodern ofta har stor betydelse som symbol för kvinnlighet och fertilitet, vilket gör att operationen kan medföra psykiska påföljder så som depression. En av sjuksköterskans uppgifter vid operationen är att göra patienten delaktig i sin vård. Delaktighet kräver en god vårdrelation där patienten får adekvat information. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturöversikten var att beskriva patienters behov av information från vårdpersonal i samband med hysterektomi. Metod: En litteraturöversikt baserad på 11 vetenskapliga artiklar som svarade på syftet. Artiklarna inhämtades från databaserna Cinahl Complete och PubMed. Båda författarna läste och granskade artiklarna för att sammanställa de meningsbärande enheterna. I de meningsbärande enheterna fann författarna likheter och skillnader. Materialet sorterades och presenteras under huvudteman med tillhörande underteman. Resultat: Resultatet presenteras i tre huvudteman, varav två av dem har underteman. Huvudtemana består av; Behov av att få veta, Individanpassad information och Konsekvenser av bristande information. Kvinnor upplevde att de hade ett behov av att få veta vad som väntade dem och när detta inte uppfylldes ledde det till bland annat oro och rädsla. Konsekvenserna av bristande information från vårdpersonalen var även att kvinnors delaktighet i vården påverkades och att information söktes på annat håll. Diskussion: Hildegard Peplaus omvårdnadsteori användes vid resultatdiskussionen, då denna kan vara ett stöd för sjuksköterskan vid undervisande och informativa möten. Det diskuteras kring att utvecklingen av vårdrelationen har stor betydelse för hur information ges och på vilket sätt det uppfattas. Vidare diskuteras på vilket sätt vårdrelationen och delaktighet kan integreras i vården för att sjuksköterskan ska kunna ge en god omvårdnad.
Background: In Sweden the most common gynecological surgery is hysterectomy which is a procedure where the uterus is removed. This kind of surgery might be difficult for the patient because the uterus has great significance as a symbol of femininity and fertility. This means that the operation can lead to reactions such as mental depression. One of the nurses functions at surgery is to participate the patient in their care. Participation of the patient requires a good nurse-patient relationship in which the patient receives adequate information. Aim: The aim of this literature review was to describe patient’s needs for information from health professionals during hysterectomy. Method: A literature review that was based on 11 original papers which also responded to the purpose. The used databases were Cinahl Complete and PubMed. Both authors read and reviewed the articles to compile their meaningful units. In the meaningful units the authors found similarities and differences. The material was then sorted and presented under main themes with matching subthemes. Results: The results are presented in three main themes, where two of them has subthemes. The mainthemes are; The need to know, Individualized information and The consequenses of insufficient information. Women experienced that they had a need to know what was going to happen, and when this was not fullfilled it caused feelings such as anxeity and fear. The consequenses of insufficient information from health professionalswas that women's participation in their care was affected and they ended up seeking information elsewhere. Discussion: The discussion is based on Hildegard Peplau's nursing theory, which can be used as a support for the nurse in educational and informative meetings. It is discussed that the development of the nurse-patient relationship has great significance for how information is being presented and how it is being perceived. Further discussed is in what way the nurse-patient relationship and participation can be integrated within the care in order to provide a good care.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Notions of quality of life dictate philosophies and policies for services for people with developmental disabilities. There is an abundance of research on quality of life, much of which has influenced the significant amount of study of quality of life for people with developmental disabilities. According to specialist developmental disability nurses, however, this research has little meaning for one group of people with developmental disabilities with whom they work - people with severe multiple impairments. Nevertheless, judgements and decisions about the lives of this group continue to be driven by the idea of quality of life. While the literature review found that researchers are urged to seek the perceptions of people regarding their own quality of life by asking them, some authors have noted the difficulty in pursuing such a method with people, such as people with severe multiple impairments, who are unable to communicate in the usual ways. Given, then, that it is difficult to directly determine the views of people with severe multiple impairments, this study sought the perceptions of nurses about the quality of life of the people with whom they work. In order to discover and conceptualise nurses' views, a symbolic interaction perspective was chosen to guide this study and data were analysed using the grounded theory approach. The study was conducted in two stages. Stage One consisted of semi-structured indepth interviews with expert nurses to explore their perceptions of quality of life for the people with whom they worked. A significant finding in these interviews was that perceptions of quality of life are mediated by interaction. Consequently, Stage Two involved a participant observation study in which the interactions of nurses and people with severe multiple impairments were examined. Specialist developmental disability nurses have a unique view of quality of life for people with severe multiple impairments. They refer to it as 'just little things', a phrase which masks complex nursing knowledge and skills, and which can be described by four interrelated categories which emerged from the data: humans being, supporting, becoming intimate, and situated belonging. As nurses become more intimate with individuals, they perceive that people with severe multiple impairments are humans being as they wish, and that quality resides in supporting their everyday lives in a context of situated belonging. This thesis represents a new conceptualisation of quality of life for people with severe multiple impairments, a conceptualisation which may have significance for other groups and, indeed, for the whole quality of life enterprise. This conceptualisation draws on knowledge not usually related to quality of life, that is, knowledge of the body, of the emotions, of identity and of humanness. Such findings demonstrate the power of an interpretive approach in explicating the meanings nurses have regarding quality of life. Further, these findings have implications for how the question of quality of life is approached, for how different ways of thinking about people impact on quality of life, and for the importance of the life in quality of life.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Sverige blir alltmer mångkulturellt, vilket präglar hälso- och sjukvården idag. Sjuksköterskans profession handlar om att ge en god omvårdnad till alla och sjuksköterskan förväntas inneha en allt större kulturkompetens. Trots detta visar studier på att det finns brister i kommunikation och bemötande i den transkulturella omvårdnaden. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskans upplevelser av den transkulturella vårdrelationen. Metod: En litteraturstudie där materialet från tio kvalitativa studier användes. Resultat: Resultatet presenteras i form av tre teman och fem subteman: Hinder för att utföra en god omvårdnad med subteman språksvårigheter, känslor och dramatik och organisatoriska faktorer, Närstående - en utmaning, Sjuksköterskans syn på transkulturell omvårdnad med subteman avsaknad av utbildning i transkulturell omvårdnad och att vara självmedveten och medveten om kulturella skillnader Slutsats: Även denna studies resultat bekräftar det tidigare studier har sagt om att språkbarriärer är ett stort hinder i den transkulturella vårdrelationen. Språkbarriärerna kunde övervinnas med hjälp av tolk. Då tillgången till tolk inte alltid fanns använde sig sjuksköterskorna av närstående. Närståendes närvaro upplevdes både som något positivt men även som ett hinder i omvårdnadsarbetet. Utbildning i religion och kultur behövs för att bli mer kulturkompetent. Utöver detta behövs livserfarenhet tillsammans med erfarenhet av att arbeta i en mångkulturell miljö. Klinisk betydelse: Det finns ett behov av mer utbildning inom området transkulturell omvårdnad i sjuksköterskans grundutbildning. Tillgängligheten till en auktoriserad tolk bör även underlättas i sjuksköterskans omvårdnadsarbete för att patientens omvårdnadsbehov ska kunna tillgodoses.
Background: Sweden is becoming increasingly multicultural, which characterizes health care today. Nursing profession is all about providing good health care for all, and the nurse is expected to hold an increasing cultural competence. Despite this, studies show that there are gaps in communication and response in transcultural nursing. Purpose: To describe nurses' experiences of the transcultural caring relationship. Method: A literature review where the materials from ten qualitative studies were used. Results: The results are presented in terms of three themes and five subthemes: Obstacles to perform a good nursing with subthemes language difficulties, emotions and drama and organizational factors, Relatives - a challenge, nurse's views on transcultural nursing with subthemes, lack of training in transcultural nursing and being self-conscious and aware of cultural differences. Conclusion: This study's results confirm what previous studies have said that the language barrier is a major obstacle in the transcultural caring relationship. Language barriers could overcome with the help of an interpreter. Since the nurses did not always have access to an interpreter they used relatives. Family’s presence felt both positive, but also as an obstacle in nursing. Education in religion and culture is needed to be more cultural competent. In addition to this life experience along with experience of working in a multicultural environment is necessary. Clinical significance: There is a need for more training in the area of transcultural nursing in nursing education. The availability of a qualified interpreter should also be facilitated in nursing so patients’ needs can be met.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Psykisk sjukdom utgör en fjärde del av Sveriges sjukdomsbörda men fördomar mot personer med psykisk sjukdom är ingen ovanlig företeelse i dagens samhälle. Patienter med psykisk sjukdom har lika rätt till en god vård som alla andra. En grundutbildad sjuksköterska ska kunna vårda dessa patienter. Det framkommer dock att patienter med psykisk sjukdom inte har lika förutsättningar och hälsoutfall som patienter utan psykisk sjukdom. Patienterna upplever ett behov av trygghet och förtroende för sina vårdare men sjuksköterskor visar en tendens att agera annorlunda mot dessa patienter. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors inställning till att vårda patienter med psykisk sjukdom i den somatiska slutenvården. Metod: En litteratursökning har genomförts för att skapa en översikt över vetenskapliga artiklar om grundutbildade sjuksköterskors inställning till vårdandet av patienter med psykisk sjukdom inom den somatiska vården. Åtta vetenskapliga artiklar, fyra kvantitativa och fyra kvalitativa, har analyserats och ligger till grund för resultatet. För sökningen användes databasen PubMed. Resultat: Resultatet tyder på att de negativa inställningarna till psykisk sjukdom överväger över de positiva. De framträdande orsakerna är framförallt brist på kunskap och erfarenhet, arbetsmiljöns påverkan, föreställningar om patienters beteende, negativa känslor såsom rädsla, frustation och ilska samt uppfattningen att vården av patienter med psykisk sjukdom inte ingår i yrkesrollen hos somatiska sjuksköterskor. De få positiva inställningar som framkommit grundar sig på faktorer som tillräcklig kunskap, goda erfarenheter, en anpassad arbetsmiljö och en holistisk syn på omvårdnad där även vård av patienter med psykisk sjukdom ingår. Diskussion: I resultatdiskussionen resoneras det kring hur sjuksköterskans arbete försvåras av de faktorer som beskrivs ligga bakom de negativa inställningarna. Sjuksköterskor behöver mer stöd i form av arbetsmiljöfaktorer som tid, bemanning och anpassning av vårdutrymmen. Utifrån den teoretiska referensramen beskrivs hur vårdrelationen påverkas av sjuksköterskors inställning och vad detta innebär för den vård patienter med psykisk sjukdom får inom somatiken. Förståelse för patienten är en viktig förutsättning för en bra vårdrelation. När vårdrelationen inte fungerar riskerar mötet mellan patienten och sjuksköterskan bli negativt och på så sätt skapas det negativa vårderfarenheter för både patienten och sjuksköterskan.
Background: Mental illness makes up a quarter of Sweden's disease burden but prejudice against people with mental illness is not an unusual phenomenon in today's society. Patients with mental illness have the same right to good health care as everyone else. General nurses with no specialist training should be able to care for these patients. It appears, however, that patients with mental illness do not receive health care under the same conditions and do not have the same health outcomes as patients without mental illness. These patients experience a need for security and trust in their caregivers but nurses show a tendency to act differently towards these patients. Aim: To describe nurses' stance on caring for patients with mental illness in somatic inpatient care settings. Method: A literature review has been made of scientific articles on general nurses' stance on caring for patients with mental illness in somatic care. Eight scientific articles, four quantitative and four qualitative, have been analysed and provide the base for the results. PubMed was used as database. Result: The results indicate that negative attitudes outweigh positive attitudes. The revealed causes of negative attitudes are mainly lack of knowledge and experience, work environment factors, preconceptions about patients' behaviour, negative emotions such as fear, frustration and anger, as well as the perception that caring for patients with mental illness is not part of the work of somatic care nurses. The few positive attitudes that have emerged are based on factors such as knowledge, good experience, an adjusted work environment and a holistic view of nursing care, which includes the care of patients with mental illness. Discussion: In the result discussion it is reasoned about how nurses’ work is being complicated by the factors described as causing negative attitudes. Nurses need more support in terms of work environment improvements such as more time, better staffing and adjusted care settings. The theoretical framework is used to clarify how the nurse-patient relationship is affected by nurses' attitudes and what implications this has on the care these patients received within somatic health care. Being understood is important for patients as a premise for a good nurse-patient relationship. With a dysfunctional nurse-patient relationship there is a risk for the nurse-patient encounter to be negative, which in its turn creates negative health care experiences for both patients and nurses.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Anorexia nervosa innebär för en människa svår viktnedgång, som är en konsekvens av dennes rädsla att gå upp i vikt. Omvårdnaden består till stor del av kontrollerad behandling av de fysiska symtomen, vilket kan resultera i en maktkamp då människor med anorexia nervosa inte inser att de behöver hjälp och inte vill bli friska. Detta utmanar skapandet av en vårdrelation. En fungerande vårdrelation är avgörande för patienters tillfrisknande. Syfte: Att beskriva patienters och sjuksköterskors upplevelser av vårdrelationen i omvårdnaden av anorexia nervosa. Metod: Studien är baserad på en kvalitativ litteraturstudie. Informationssökning gjordes via databasen Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, CINAHL. Materialet analyserades med hjälp av en innehållsanalys. Travelbees omvårdnadsteori används som teoretisk referensram. Resultat: Ur ett patient-och sjuksköterskeperspektiv framkom två huvudteman och åtta subteman gällande upplevelser av omvårdnad i behandling och relationsfrämjande faktorer i omvårdnaden. Det första huvudtemat som framkom var fråntagande av kontroll och ansvar, med dess subteman; upplevelser av: behandling, vårdrelationen, kommunikationens betydelse, tillgänglighetens betydelse och  individualiserad vård. Det andra huvudtemat blev att återskapa kontroll och ansvar, där subteman kom att bli; upplevelser av: självbestämmandets betydelse, kunskapens betydelse och stödets betydelse. Diskussion: Sjuksköterskan bör ta hänsyn till individuella skillnader i omvårdnaden av patienter med anorexia nervosa. De kontrollerande omvårdnadsåtgärderna, med fokus på fysiska symtom, bidrar till att individen glöms bort. Med hjälp av Travelbees omvårdnadsteori diskuterar författarna vikten av att skapa en vårdrelation för att främja patientens autonomi och integritet.
Background: Anorexia nervosa means severe weight loss, which is a consequence of fear of gaining weight. A large part of the nursing consists of controlled treatment of physically symptoms. That can lead to a struggle of power due to the fact that people with anorexia nervosa neither wants to be helped or get well. This challenges the creation of care relationship. A working health care relationship is crucial for the recovery. Objective: To describe patients and nurses experiences of the health care relationship in nursing of anorexia nervosa. Method: The study is based on a qualitative literature review. The information was retrieved from the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, CINAHL, database. The material was analyzed using a content analysis. Results: From a patient and nurse perspective two main and eight sub themes emerged regarding experiences of nursing in treatment and relationship promotional factors in nursing. The first main theme that emerged was removal of control and responsibility, which has the following sub themes; experiences of:  treatment, the health care relationship, the significance of communication, the significance of availability and individualized care. The second main theme was to restore control and responsibility, with the following sub themes; experiences of: the significance of self-determination, the significance of knowledge and the significance of support. Discussion: The nurse should take in consideration individual differences in nursing patients with anorexia nervosa.The controlled nursing measures, with focus on the physically symptoms, contributes to that the individual becomes neglected. With the help of Travelbees nursing theory the authors discuss the importance of creating a health care relationship to promote the patients autonomy and integrity.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Den goda relationen uppges präglas av ömsesidighet och acceptans för den andre. För att relationen ska fungera på ett bra sätt krävs kommunikation och interaktion mellan vårdare och patient. Denna studie fokuserar på den goda relationen inom psykiatrisk vårdkontext, vilket innebär vård av personer med psykisk ohälsa. Syfte: Att belysa vad sjuksköterskor anser är betydelsefullt för skapandet av en god relation med patienter inom psykiatrisk vård. Metod: En litteraturöversikt har gjorts, baserad på tio vetenskapliga artiklar som har analyserats och kvalitetsgranskats. Underlaget för denna studie är hämtat från fyra olika databaser. Resultat: Studien resulterade i fyra teman; att förmedla trygghet och säkerhet, att skapa tillit, att visa respekt och att vara tillgänglig och engagerad. Att förmedla trygghet innebar att ge patienten information kring dennes vård, att vården var individanpassad samt genuinitet och kontinuitet. Att skapa tillit innebar bland annat att patienten kunde känna ett förtroende för sjuksköterskan och berätta om sina tankar och känslor samt att sjuksköterskan lyssnade och relaterade till det patienten berättade. Att visa respekt innebar att ha tålamod och behövde vara ömsesidigt för att samarbetet mellan sjuksköterska och patient skulle fungera. Att vara tillgänglig och engagerad betydde att sjuksköterskan skulle vara nåbar, ge patienten utrymme att berätta, stödja och ge återkoppling. Diskussion: Studiens resultat diskuteras gentemot Peplaus teori om vårdandet, artiklar som belyser patienters perspektiv på en god relation, annan litteratur samt barriärer för skapandet av en god relation.
Background: The good relationship is stated to be characterized by reciprocity and acceptance of the other. To make the relationship work in a good way, communication and interaction between the care provider and the patient is needed. This study is focused on the good relationship in psychiatric nursing context, which means care of persons with mental health problems. Aim: To illustrate what nurses believe is important in creating a good relationship with patients in psychiatric care. Method: A literature study has been made, based on ten scientific articles which has been analyzed and quality checked. The material of this study, is collected from four different databases. Results: The study led to four themes; to mediate security, to create trust, to show respect and to be available and committed. To mediate security meant to give information to the patient concerning his care, that the care was individualized, genuine and had continuity. To create trust meant that the patient could trust the nurse and talk about their feelings and thoughts, and also that the nurse listened and related to what the patient expressed. To show respect meant to have patience, and needed to be mutual, for the cooperation to work between nurse and patient. To be available and committed meant that the nurse needed to be reachable, give the patient space to talk, support and give feedback.    Discussion: The result of the study is discussed against Peplaus theory of nursing, articles illuminating patients view of the good relationship, the background and also barriers in creating a good relationship.
