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.

Full textToday 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.

Full textThe 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

Full textBackground: 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.

Full textA 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.

Full textInformation 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 textBakgrund: 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.

Full textBACKGROUND: 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.

Full textBackground: 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 textIntroduction: 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.

Full textBackground: 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.

Full textBackground 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.

Full textBakgrund: 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.

Full textBackground: 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.

Full textIndividualiserad 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 textBackground: 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.

Full textBakgrund: 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.

Full textBackground: 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 textBackground: 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.

Full textBackground: 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.

Full textBackground: 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.

Full textBackground: 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.

Full textBackground: 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.
