Full textBackground: Previous research has shown the importance of information for the patients care experience and safety. Still there is clear evidence that information is lacking at emergency departments [ED]. It is therefore important to gather patient experiences on the subject. Purpose: To investigate patient experiences of information in emergency departments. Method: Descriptive design with a literature review as method where 16 scientific qualitative original articles was analyzed. Results: Five themes was created: Initial care at the ED; following waiting time; condition and treatment; understanding and ability to remember; and final care at the ED. Both positive and negative experiences emerged. Most prominently was negative experiences regarding lack of information about subjects such as waiting times, condition and treatment. Conclusion: Information is a crucial part of the care at the ED and this study highlights its importance from the patient perspective. A lot of different experiences emerged in the result that displays the relevance of the problem area. The need of further research regarding patient experiences of information is considered needed. Flaws and opportunities for improvement has also been revealed by highlighting patient experiences, which may be of use for nurses in their profession.

Full textFör att få fram rätt information krävs en metod som belyser patienters behov och på så sätt kan hjälpa sjukvården att på bättre sätt ta hjälp av patienters åsikt. Syftet med uppsatsen är därför att få fram hur patienter upplever att deras informationsbehov av hälsoinformation tillfredställs. Vi vill även ta reda på hur detta behov ser ut idag och på vilka sätt det kan tillfredställas bättre.
Vi vill även testa om fokusgrupper är lämplig som metod för att besvara vårt syfte.
För att uppfylla syftet har vi samlat in data genom två fokusgrupper. En grupp bestod av personer med mer kontakt med sjukvården medan den andra bestod av personer med mindre kontakt med sjukvården. Med hjälp av resultatet från fokusgrupperna genomfördes en analys där vi fann områden som var särskilt viktiga. Vi har även utvärderat fokusgrupper som metod genom att jämföra med tidigare forskning inom området. Utifrån det insamlade materialet har vi utarbetat en modell som visar hur patienters informationsbehov kan tillfredställas. Denna modell är indelad i fyra delar utifrån hur stort behov patienten har av egen samt allmän information.

Full textBackground: Patients are spending more time at the emergency department in 2018 compared to the previous year. They are often left alone for many hours while waiting for treatment or care. A lack of communication and information between healthcare professionals and patients might affect the patient's experience of the stay at the emergency department. The aim of the study was to describe patients’ experience of communication and information during a visit at the emergency department. The method used was a general literature review of both quantitative and qualitative articles. Sixteen articles were included. A content analysis was performed, including identifying meaning units, coding and synthesizing the content into categories. Results: Three main categories emerged: Experience of the organization, experience of the care environment and experience of the care relationship. Patients were in need of clearer information about the expected course of events and management. Also lack of communication such as updating of waiting times, examinations and test results were identified. The patients wanted more frequently interactions with the healthcare staff and could endure the waiting times if only they were given information about the delays. Conclusion: Patients might feel abandoned and forgotten at the emergency department. To use a person-centered care at an emergency department is a challenge, even if the need exists. An improved communication between nursing staff and patients might affect the patient's experience of emergency care in an already vulnerable situation.

Full textBackground: Diabetes type 2 is one of the largest forms of lifestyle disease in the developed countries, but in later years, also in development countries. Patients are in need of accurate information to learn how to manage and live with the disease. Therefore it is important that nurses have knowledge of how patients perceive information from health care. Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate what experiences patients with diabetes type two has regarding information from health care. Method: A literature study based on previous research regarding diabetes type two and information to patients. Twelve scientific articles with qualitative approach was analysed with text analysis. Result: The results show that the patients call for information that is tailored to them as unique individuals and that is easy to understand and adapt to, as they need tools for their self-care. Four themes emerged: Difficulties to accept and adapt to information, Information adapted to cope with daily life, Differences in information from the physician and the nurse and Accessible information. Discussion: The results are discussed in relation to Orem theory of self-care. Since patients often have difficulty adjusting to their disease, they need support in terms of information to be able to live as normal a life as possible. This becomes increasingly important, as diabetes type two is a disease that younger and younger ages, and it is therefore something they have to live a long time with.

Full textBackground: Heart failure affect many people both in Sweden and internationally. Information is key to managing the illness and preventing negative consequences. KASAM (SOC), sense of coherence, was used as the theoretical starting point. Aim: To describe heart failure patients' experiences of information. Method: With Friberg's five step model as the analytic method, a literature review was conducted on twelve qualitative studies about heart failure patients' experiences of information. Result: The literature review's result shows two themes, "Satisfaction with Information" and "Forms of Information". Heart failure patients had different experiences concerning information. Some patients experienced the information as satisfactory and sufficient while others experience the information as lacking. The information that was given was often experienced as in need of adaptation to fit the patient's situation. Patients had experiences of aspects that both hindered and facilitated information. In some cases, patients used sources other than the health care to find additional information. Conclusion: In nursing of heart failure patients the nurse has to take time to inform and to adapt information to the patients. The nurse should make sure to adapt the information after the patients' condition, wishes, resources and needs. The literature review shows that there's room for improvement concerning information given to heart failure patients.

Full textBackground: Pain is a personal feeling and cannot be compared between individuals. Pain assessment is essential to give adequate treatment and pain relief. Different types of pain assessment tools are used in the health service. Although pain assessment is shown to be important, studies have shown that patients pain is underestimated and undertreated. Aim: The aim in this study is to determine whether nurses at surgical wards and patients with pain at surgical wards believe that VAS and NRS is suitable as tools to asses’ pain. Furthermore this study aims to examine if the respondents believe that the pain assessment is measured often enough. This study also wants to look into if there are any differences between the two groups. Methods: The study is a quantitative cross-sectional study where questionnaires were handed out to nurses and patients in two surgical wards. Results: A majority among the respondents understood how the pain assessment is meant to be used. The nurses and the patients agreed that VAS and NRS were seen as good tools to mediate ones pain. In the question about the frequency of rating pain a significant difference was seen between the two groups. Among the patients 83% thought that their pain was rated often enough while barley half of the nurses thought that the pain was measured often enough. There was a significant difference between the two groups when the respondents were asked about verbal information concerning VAS and NRS. Conclusion: Patients and nurses believe that VAS and NRS are an effective way to rate pain and that the understandings for these assessment tools are good. The inadequacy of pain rating frequency can in this study be seen both before and after given analgesics.

Full textBackground: Bedside handover is part of the process towards a more person-centred care. The handover that takes place at the patient's bedside aims to get patients involved in the exchange of information between nurses at the change-of-shift. Communication at the handover is an important part of how the patient gets an understanding of their situation but also serves to increase patient safety. In 2015 new laws were established about patient participation in care, which resulted in a stronger requirement of participation. Aim: To describe patients' experiences of participation in bedside handover. Method: A literature review has been performed. Ten studies that furthered the aim of describing patients’ experiences with bedside handover were selected. The Friberg analysis model was applied as a basis for the analysis. The concept of nurse-patient relationship was used as the theoretical basis of the study. Results: The results depict patients' experiences of bedside handover through three categories; 'Getting information through bedside handover', 'Patient participation in bedside handover' and 'Privacy and confidentiality'. Discussion: The results were discussed with relevant literature and the concept of nurse-patient relationship. The results showed that patients felt involved and safe related to the participation in bedside handover. This is confirmed by the nurse-patient relationship that aims to provide the patient’s feeling of safety. Patients also experienced a threat against their integrity with a risk of other patients hearing sensitive information. The importance of nurses' discretion and to speak quietly in a multi-private room to protect patient integrity and confidentiality is confirmed by relevant literature.

Full textBackground: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Western countries, and the incidences is increasing in Sweden, which means that many will have to undergo treatment such as chemotherapy. This is a treatment that has been developing tremendously over the last thirty years and it is highly dependent on staff knowledge and understanding about the treatment and its effect on the patient's life.Purpose: The aim is to investigate cancer patients' needs and experience of information during their chemotherapy treatment. What kind of information do patients feel that they need? Do patients experience that they get enough information? How do patients prefer to receive information? Method: A literature review based on Goodmans seven steps. Result: A great need among the patients was information about side effects, how these can be managed and prevented. Factors affecting the information needs appeared to be family and friends, the time when the information was given and if the patient preferred to receive more or less information. Patients prefer to receive information orally by health professionals but they would also have liked to receive additional written information.

Full textInformation is an important part of a nurse’s work and her pedagogic skills are put to the test. Surgery is an important event in a patient’s life and it is well known that patients often are unsatisfied with the information they receive. The objective of this essay was to retrieve deeper knowledge of what information patients want before an operation and their experiences of the information they do receive. This was done by a literature review in which scientific articles were searched for, critically examined and the results from twelve finally chosen articles were com-piled into a common result. The result of the study was that patients generally are satisfied with the amount of information they receive but they wish more informa-tion about pain and pain treatment and about how complications can be prevented.

Full textI detta examensarbete implementeras och utvärderas en ny helautomatisk process för strålbehandlingsplanering med hjälp av Leksell Gamma Knife: Till en början tränas en maskininlärningsalgoritm för att förutsäga önskad dosmängd. Med hjälp av den genererade prediktionen som optimeringsmål hittas sedan en lösning på ett konvext optimeringsproblem med syftet att hitta den optimala Gamma Knife - konfigurationen. Metoden utvärderas med hjälp av Bayesiansk linjär regression, Gaussiska processer och neurala faltningsnätverk för prediktionssteget. Detta görs genom att jämföra kvalitetsnivån på de genererade behandlingsplanerna med de kliniska behandlingsplanerna. Slutligen analyseras förhållandet mellan prediktionsoch optimeringsresultaten. Bäst resultat fås av det neurala faltningsnätverket som dessutom genererar realistiska behandlingsplaner. De av modellen generade behandlingsplanerna förändras minimalt under optimeringssteget och ligger på samma kvalitetsnivå som de kliniska behandlingsplanerna. Även den Bayesianska linjära regressionsmodellen genererar behandlingsplaner på liknande kvalitetsnivå men misslyckas med att generera realistiska behandlingsplaner, vilket i sin tur leder till markanta förändringar av behandlingsplanen under optimeringssteget. Av dessa algoritmer presterar Gaussiska processer sämst och kan inte generera behandlingsplaner av samma kvalitet som de kliniska behandlingsplanerna.

Full textColonoscopy is a common examination conducted to investigate symptoms and possible diseases of the rectum, colon and the last part of the small intestine. The examination can be inconvenient and painful and requires several days of preparation. Prior to the examination, the patient should undergo purgation to cleanse the bowel so that the mucosa can be accurately inspected. Information on preparation and examination is an important part of preparing the patient, both mentally and physically. A well-cleaned intestine contributes to increase the quality of the examination and the risk of health damage is reduced. The aim was to describe patients' experiences of information and preparation for colonoscopy and to describe their reflections before the examination. Qualitative method was used in the study and based on eight interviews with patients who would undergo a scheduled colonoscopy. The interviews were conducted on the basis of an interview guide with semi-structured interview questions. Through qualitative content analysis the collected material were processed and analyzed. The result showed that the patients' reflections and experiences could be divided into three categories and eight subcategories. The main categories were: Reflections before the colonoscopy, experiences and reflections regarding purgative experience and the information for the purgation and colonoscopy. The conclusion indicates that colonoscopy is an examination that evokes many thoughts and feelings of the person to be examined. Preparations for the examination perceive demanding and affects everyday life in varying degrees. The information that patients received from endoscopy clinic has been perceived as clear, but at the same time the study results has revealed views that the information from the house doctor is flawed.

Full textThe aim of the study was to describe how district nurses experienced the introduction of the system of patient choice in primary care. The aim was also to describe why the district nurse in the public primary care decides to stay when new private actors are available. The study had a descriptive design where ten district nurses from different health centers from a town in Middlesweden were interviewed. The collected material was transcribed and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The result was structured in two content areas. The first content area experience of the introduction, was presented in the theme Patient had power by beeing able to choose, categories and subcategories. In the category Economic thinking has become important the district nurse described that it is now important to register the patient at the health center and that they now have new administrative procedures in place. The patient has become customer and this leads the district nurse to approach the patient in a new way and become more service-oriented. Choice requires information and the patient needs information to be familiar with the rules on patient choice system then it can have consequences for patients with special needs. The second content area, reasons to stay, was presented in categories and subcategories. The district nurse decides to remains in the public primary care when the workplace itself is crucial in comfort and colleagues and that it has not been attractive enough to change job when employment in the County Council was perceived as a security.

Full textBackground: An intensive care patient is located in a high technology environment with the need of multiple medical interventions. The intensive care nurse is responsible to provide information to the patient regarding what is happening, why it’s happening and further plans about treatments. However, it has been found that the intensive care nurses have difficulties to give information. Since the patient is already at an exposed and powerless position, due to the critical illness and the intensive care environment, providing information to reduce anxiety becomes more important to a patient in the intensive care unit (ICU) than in a general ward. Purpose: To illuminate patients’ experiences of information in an intensive care unit. Method: A systematic literature review according to Bettany-Saltikov and Mcsherry (2016) based on findings in 19 scientific articles; 18 qualitative and one mixed method were found in three different databases. Data where analyzed and compiled with a qualitative content analysis. Included articles have undergone a quality assessment. Result: Patient experiences of information vary. There was a need to know. The patients requested understandable information, individualized and situational. Repeated information was favorable. Three categories emerged; to get information with subcategories providing information, understanding and consequences of information. To be involved with subcategories type of information, individualized and ask questions. Exposed with subcategories lack of information and seen as an object. Conclusion: The systematic literature review show that information to patients in ICU is of great importance for the experience of involvement and the sense of security in patients.

Full textABSTRACT Background When a cancer diagnosis is given much information that cause psychological reactions. To provide individual support, information and good treatment is important for the patient to feel confident and involved in their care. Aim To evaluate breast cancer patient's experience of information, support, treatment and involvement during her visits at the contact nurse after surgery at the outpatient clinic. Method A cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach when the main focus was the patient's experience of information, support, treatment and participation. The patients were asked to answer an electronic questionnaire directly after her return visit to the clinic. In total, 48 patients participate in the survey. Results The results showed a very high degree of satisfaction among breast cancer patients in terms of information, support, treatment and participation in connection with the return visit of the contact nurse after breast surgery. Older women were more satisfied with the information compared to younger women. Level of education had no impact on how satisfied patients were or perceptions of participation and support. There were no significant changes concerning information and participation from those who have undergone breast conserving surgery versus removal of the entire breast. Conclusion The contact nurse plays an important role on reception when it comes to care and quality of care from a patient perspective. To identify areas in need of improvement is important. The analysis provides support for the work procedure that the contact nurses and doctors today are positive using for the breast cancer patients. The study demonstrated that the majority of patients were very satisfied with the information, support, and treatment and felt involved in the visit of the contact nurse. Keyword: Support, treatment, information, patient involvement , breast cancer patients.

Full textEtt stort antal patienter behandlas med warfarin som förebyggande mot blodpropp. Läkemedlet kräver regelbunden blodprovstagning där INR- värdet mäts för att kunna anpassa dosen individuellt så länge behandling pågår. Indikationen kan till exempel vara förmaksflimmer, mekanisk hjärtklaff eller tromboembolism. Warfarin är ett känt problemläkemedel där interaktionsrisken med andra läkemedel är stor och andra faktorer såsom kost och livsstilsförändringar kan påverka dess effekt. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva patienters behov av information vid warfarinbehandling. Studien baseras på 12 vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultatet visar att patienter behöver tydlig information om biverkningar som kan uppstå, interaktionsrisk med andra läkemedel och naturläkemedel samt hur kosten och alkoholen påverkar warfarinbehandlingen. Information behövs om vikten av följsamhet vid behandling och vart man bör vända sig vid frågor och problem. Resultatet visar också att vid bristande följsamhet, högre ålder och kommunikationssvårigheter behövs extra resurser för information. Tydligt och individuellt anpassat informationsmaterial på patientens hemspråk, med större text och bilder i bör användas vid behov. Uppföljning av informationen rekommenderas till alla för att behandlingen skall bli så säker som möjligt. Fortsatt forskning behövs om kostens, hälsokostens och alkoholens inverkan på warfarin. Fler kvalitativa studier efterfrågas för att kunna utveckla och förbättra patientinformationen.

The aim of this literature review was to illuminate the information and education patients find most important to manage daily life. The method was a literature review based on ten scientific articles. The result shows that patients consider practical information relevant to prevent reinfarction as most important. Information about complications and symptoms, anatomy and physiology, medication, physical activities and secondary prevention are subjects regarded as important. The information is preferably given individually, modified after every unique individual’s characteristics and needs.

Full textWhat is the best manner of informing a person scheduled for elective surgery? The aim of this study was to investigate how patients scheduled for elective surgery perceive the written information received at home three to four weeks before surgery. Data was collected on a hospital ward in the south of Sweden and 19 patients were interviewed. The method of data collection was semistructured interviews supported by an interview guide. The interviews were analysed with content analysis. The conclusion of this study indicates that the need for information is individual and depends on factors such as previous patient experience, interpretation of the preparatory information and furthermore what emotions the patient has regarding the oncoming operation. The patient’s perception of control is important for how he or she experiences the preoperative phase.

Full textBackground: Heart failure is a condition that becomes more common with age, and about 250 000 Swedes are affected (Heart-Lung Foundation, 2016). Patients should, under the Patient Act (SFS 2014: 821, SFS 1982: 763), obtain information on their health status, the types of treatment, what care may be used, the expected course of treatment, risks and aftercare. The patient does not always get the necessary information. The lack of information may depend on everything from the patient's lack of knowledge to the caregiver's shortage of time, because of the heavy workload. Aim: To investigate the nurses' ways of informing and different perspectives on the content of the information conveyed to patients with heart failure in a cardiologic healthcare department. Method: A descriptive interview study with qualitative approach and content analysis. Results: Results show that the information given to patients with heart failure may vary depending on the nurse who provides the information. Conclusion: The information nurses convey to patients with heart failure vary depending on the patient's knowledge, state of health, interest and degree of cognitive ability. However, high workload can prevent the nurse to provide personalised information.

Full textSeventy-eight percent of emergency department (ED) patients do not thoroughly understand their discharge instructions prior to leaving the hospital (Engel, Heisler, Smith, Robinson, Forman, & Ubel, 2009). The chaotic nature of the emergency department and the necessity of discharging patients in a rapid manner create significant challenges in the communication process between health care providers and the patient. The aim of this quality assessment study was to evaluate the patient's understanding of the emergency department discharge instructions and motivation to use an online health information website. This was a descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study, conducted from March-June, 2012, in a 52-bed emergency department facility in an urban setting which randomly surveyed 100 adult patients at the time of discharge from the emergency department. The majority of the participants did not or was not completely sure if they understood the discharge instructions. The Pearson chi-square r = 0.43,p < .001 was statistically significant and indicated a reasonable difference between the preferred method of learning and understanding of the ED discharge instructions. Cramer's V was 0.302 with a significance of .01 and indicated a reasonable association between the preferred method of learning and understanding the ED discharge instructions. Motivation to use a health information website, indicated a central tendency mean of 3.02, and a standard deviation of 1.56, (0 is not motivated and 5 is very motivated). There was a relationship between motivation and the use of the online website and a quantitative prediction could be made for anticipatory guidance in clinical practice. A five question survey was completed by 45 ED staff members in October, 2012. Thirty-five or 76.1% of the ED staff was motivated to discuss the online website with the patient and family and make a change in their practice. The results indicated that when patients are discharged from the ED having care instructions and other information available electronically or online could provide a better understanding of their condition. The ability for patients to understand their medical condition through a visual or audio learning process could increase their level of understanding and adherence to the discharge instructions.

Full textVisual field examination is the most important method to diagnose and identify the progression of glaucoma. Conducting visual field examination is a common task for the ophthalmic nurse. Studies show that patients have difficulty in carrying out the visual field examination, but studies on how the patient experiences the visual field examination are scarce. The aim of the pilot study was to examine the patient's experience of the visual field examination. The pilot study was conducted using a qualitative approach and data was collected through semi-structured interviews of eight patients. The material was analyzed using content analysis. The analysis resulted in five categories: experience of fear and anxiety, difficulty with focusing, experience of information, sense of security, and bodily discomfort. Failing to perform well and to possibly become impaired in their disease were major concerns that created fear and anxiety. Focusing demanded a lot of concentration and was straining on the eye. The information was perceived as both good and flawed. Patients felt a sense of security since they had done the examination before and that they met the same staff. The majority of patients felt they sat uncomfortably and that it was not patient friendly. Continued development and training on how patients experience visual field examination is recommended to improve the way the staff treats and informs the patient, but also how the ophthalmic nurse can facilitate the examination of the patient. Since this study was conducted as a pilot study further research and a full-scale study is needed for the results to be considered reliable.

Full textThe aim of this qualitative interview study was to elucidate what nurses at ambulance and emergency department thought was important information to give to patients with acute chest pain and what was important to think about when informing them. Ten interviews with nurses was performed, five at the ambulance and five at the emergency department. The result has been divided between the two workplaces. The study showed that there where large similarities in how the nurses responded to the questions asked. The objects that was thought of as important was to give information about what happened and why, it was also important to give information about pharmaceuticals and it´s side effects and with the information that they gave, try to calm the patients down. A large item that came up was that it was important to inform about what the patients asked for. At the ambulance the nurses also thought that it was important to try to keep the information to what was important and relevant to the patient. The nurses at the emergency department thought that it was important to inform as much as possible and keep the patient updated.
