Rodness, Roshaya. "Embodying suffering: the autobiographical pain narrative". Thesis, McGill University, 2011. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=104760.
Texto completoCette étude présente une analyse de la représentation de la douleur chronique et épisodique dans les récits de vie en mode narratif. J'ai compulsé six ouvrages contemporains de mémoires, chacun s'intéressant à l'expérience de douleur chronique de l'auteur. Dans le domaine de l'étude de la douleur – en sciences humaines et médicales –, la capacité de la langue à représenter la douleur est un enjeu controversé. Plusieurs affirment que la douleur est difficile à transmettre par le langage parce que, d'une part, nous échouons à en faire l'expérience en tant qu'événement significatif. La narration est le mode de communication le plus courant par lequel nous exprimons des événements qui se sont produits dans le passé; elle offre par conséquent aux écrivains des moyens de représenter leur douleur de la même manière et avec les mêmes effets que lorsqu'ils relatent des événements passés moins problématiques. Les études sur la douleur font rarement une distinction entre la représentabilité variable de la douleur aiguë (temporaire) et celle de la douleur chronique et épisodique (à long terme), alors que, dans les faits, chaque forme influence la vie de manières radicalement différentes. La douleur chronique ou épisodique est accompagnée d'un élément temporel et deviendra un repère parmi les expériences à long terme d'une personne. En tant que mode qui marque l'évolution dans le temps et l'espace, la narration est idéale pour représenter la douleur chronique et épisodique. Pour réaliser cette étude, j'ai isolé trois types de récits narratifs autobiographiques traitant de la douleur, ces récits présentant différentes façons utilisées pour exprimer la douleur. Le Chapitre I décrit la « triangulation de la douleur » grâce à laquelle les narrateurs parlent indirectement de leur propre douleur en faisant référence à celle de tiers. Le Chapitre II examine la « traduction de la douleur » grâce à laquelle les narrateurs décrivent leur douleur le plus directement possible. Le Chapitre III observe le cheminement ou le modèle de quête découverts dans des récits sur la douleur qui tendent à se concentrer sur la recherche de traitements. Même s'il peut être difficile d'exprimer la douleur, il existe une diversité de méthodes narratives qui lui donnent une signification autodéterminée qui contribue à faire tomber les limites auxquelles nous sommes confrontés quand nous essayons d'assumer un phénomène aussi inexorable et intérieur.

Texto completoThe study combined both qualitative and quantitative methods and it involved eight HIV/AIDS adolescents who knew their HIV status. The adolescents were purposively sampled from a total of 87 adolescents who complained of pain during the period of four weeks. Eight subjects out of the 87 adolescents met the selection criteria and were therefore eligible for the study.

Texto completoPart I explains how the notion of "the Pain of God" was formulated in Kitamori's personal life. His search for the certainty of faith culminated in a mystical encounter with the crucified Christ. Kitamori was convinced that through the crucified Christ God embraced him who, being "outside" of God, was therefore an enemy of God. This contradictory embrace was experienced by Kitamori as "the Pain of God." Part I explores the ways in which Kitamori tried to incorporate this insight into his own itinerary of faith and into his early theological education.
Part II shows how Kitamori elaborated a soteriological model based on the "pain of God" through critical engagement with Reformed thinkers, such as Calvin, Schleiermacher, and Barth. It traces his attempt to give the concept of the pain of God an axiomatical place in the doctrines of creation, justification and sanctification, and to explain the inner relation between the immediate love of the creator, the mediate love of Christ and the victorious love of the Spirit.
Part III turns to Kitamori's engagement with church and culture in Japan. Kitamori was convinced that all nations are invited to take part in the history of deepening and actualizing the message of the Gospel in and through their own culture. Regional contributions and limits must be taken in account according to an adequate criterion. This criterion is, according to Kitamori, the pain of God. His critique of the Non-church movement, and his analysis of leading Japanese novelists, provide two windows into his approach.
Part IV offers some critical evaluation. After examination of both the favorable and unfavorable receptions of Kitamori's theology, it asks to what extent Kitamori was influenced by Buddhism, by Nishida's philosophy and by Hegel. It also places Kitamori's ideas over against some contemporary thinkers on divine impassibility. Then it concludes with a brief recapitulation of his theological contribution.

Texto completoEndometrios är ett smärtsamt sjukdomstillstånd och kan innebära svårt lidande för kvinnor somlever med sin diagnos. En av tio fertila kvinnor lider av endometrios vilket motsvarar ungefär 250 000 kvinnor i Sverige (Socialstyrelsen, 2018). Eftersom sjukdomstillståndet omges av okunskap är kvinnor som lever med endometrios en utsatt grupp. Sjuksköterskan ansvarar för att tillgodose patientens grundläggande omvårdnadsbehov. Hen ansvarar även för att främja och återställa hälsa samt lindra lidande. Därutöver är sjuksköterskan skyldig att utgå från den gemensamma värdegrund som återfinns i International Council of Nurses (ICN) etiska koder i mötet med kvinnor som lever med endometrios. Åtta artiklar med kvalitativ ansats söktes framför att belysa kvinnors upplevelse av att leva med endometrios. Det resulterade i två teman; Emotionella påfrestningar och Nya utmaningar. Temat Emotionella påfrestningar innehåller tre underteman som beskriver kvinnornas upplevelse av att leva med svår smärta. Smärtan bidrog till att de blev sängliggande under flera perioder samt svårigheter att ha ett fungerande sexualliv. De upplevde även rädsla och oro för att förlora både partner och arbete. Det fanns även oro för ekonomi på grund av många sjukskrivningar. Kvinnorna beskrev även att de fick en förändrad självbild på grund av att de inte kunde leva upp till partnerns förväntningar, exempelvis skaffa barn, vilket bidrog till för sämrat självförtroende. Temat Nya utmaningar innehåller tre underteman vilka beskriver kvinnornas upplevelse av att bemötas av misstro i vårdmöten. Det innebar att de ofta blev avfärdade och fick kämpa för att få en diagnos. Kvinnorna upplevde även att det fanns brist på kunskap i mötet med vården och det innebar att de själva fick söka sin kunskap. De beskrev även svårigheten av att inte kunna arbeta och delta i sociala aktiviteter på grund av smärta och sängläge. Resultatet av studien kan bidra till ökad kunskap kring kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med smärta samt deras upplevelse av bemötande i och utanför vården. Det kan även bidra till att sjuksköterskor får möjlighet till handlingsberedskap i mötet med dessa kvinnor. Resultatet skulle kunna vara relevant oavsett vilket i vårdsammanhang kvinnorna befinner sig.

Texto completoBackground: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease which in many cases can cause a great deal of suffering. Despite this fact many women have to wait a long time to get a proper diagnosis, the right medical care and treatment. The disease has a complex clinical picture that differs and which in many different ways have an impact on women’s lives. Aim: The aim was to describe women’s experiences living with endometriosis by looking at how women suffer due to the disease, from the points of disease-suffering, care-suffering and life-suffering. Method: General literature review where ten scientific articles were analysed based on the theory on suffering by Katie Eriksson as a criterion of the categories, disease-suffering, caresuffering and life-suffering. Result: Endometriosis impacted women’s lives in many different aspects. Women often suffered from intense pain and other symptoms and signs, which were often dismissed by caregivers. The disease also impacted women’s relationships as well as their social life in the sense that they often were treated with distrust from immediate surroundings. Conclusion: Caregivers need to have a deeper knowledge and understanding of endometriosis and its clinical picture to prevent women’s symptoms from being trivialized and neglected. The caregivers’ attitudes in the encounter with women have to be better and generate an earlier diagnosis and treatment. Emotional support from both caregivers and their immediate surroundings is important to substantiate women and their experiences of the disease. Clinical importance: It is of clinical significance that caregivers have an understanding for women’s experience of living with endometriosis. This in order for the care to be given from a broader perspective looking at the women’s life situation.

Texto completoTrycksår är en av de vanligaste vårdskadorna inom hälso- och sjukvården som leder till ett lidande hos patienterna. Lidande är något som patienten blir utsatt för och är tvungen att leva med. Syftet med studien är att beskriva patienters upplevelser av att leva med trycksår. Att ta hänsyn till patienters upplevelser och deras kunskap kan resultera till en minskad sjukhusvistelse. Sjuksköterskan har som ansvar att främja hälsa, förebygga sjukdom, återställa hälsa och lindra patienters lidande. En viktig del av sjuksköterskans ansvar i omvårdnaden är att förhindra tryckskador. För att förhindra tryckskador ska sjuksköterskan känna till faktorer som ökar risken för trycksår, vilka är inkontinens, nedsatt rörlighet, anemi, rökning, malnutrition, nedsatt känsel, ödem, övervikt, hypotoni, diabetes och ateroskleros. För att kunna ge en adekvat behandling krävs det först att genomföra en bedömning för att kunna avgöra vilken behandling som blir aktuell. Stödytor som till exempel madrasser och sittdynor är det mest effektiva tillvägagångsätt för att förebygga trycksår hos patienter som befinner sig i samma ställning under en längre tid. Stödytans funktion är att jämnt fördela kroppens tyngdpunkt över hela ytan. I litteraturstudiens resultat inkluderades elva artiklar med kvalitativansats för att beskriva patienters upplevelser av att leva med trycksår. Patienterna upplever att trycksår är smärtsamma och begränsar dem i deras dagliga liv. Att leva med trycksår innebär att leva ett liv i smärta. Smärtan förvärrades av rörelser och bidrog till en nedsatt rörelseförmåga. Patienter uttryckte en förlust av rörlighet i samband med sitt trycksår, vilket bidrog till minskad förmåga att fortsätta med sitt dagliga liv. Den begränsade rörligheten gjorde att de blev beroende av andra personer och hjälpmedel. Många upplevde att tryckavlastande stödytor var obekväma och smärtsamma. Att ha trycksår bidrog även till sociala begränsningari livet. Patienterna uppgav att på grund av lukten från trycksåret så valde de att isolera sig från sociala aktiviteter. Att vara beroende av andra upplevdes som påfrestande vilket försämrade deras självkänsla och självförtroende, vilket bidrog till att de kände sig värdelösa och otillräckliga som inte kunde klara sig själva. Att få hjälp med intimvård och hygien upplevdes av patienterna som hotande för deras värdighet och integritet. Läketiden och behandlingen av trycksår var lång och fick patienterna att uppleva nedstämdhet och hopplöshet. Slutligen påverkar trycksår patienterna båda fysisk och psykisk och inverkar på deras välbefinnande och hälsa.

Texto completoBackground: Postoperative pain emerge after surgery. Untreated acute pain can develop into chronic pain. It’s the most common cause for patients to seek medical treatment. It’s the nurse's responsibility to ease and evaluate pain among patients. Mutual trust can help make these responsibilities easier, though only half of the patient in a caring unit gets to be involved in their pain-treatment. Patients opinions, earlier experiences and descriptions of pain must be taken seriously. The theoretical reference frame of this study is Joyce Travelbee’s theory, where the main component includes the understanding of the interaction between patients and nurses. Suffering in healthcare can develop if the patient loses control, which is common in health care. Pain is an example of a situation when a patient loses control over of the situation. Aim: To describe patients experiences of postoperative pain. Method: A literature study of 10 qualitative articles, found in Pubmed, CINAHL and PsycINFO. Results: Patients generally experienced their postoperative pain physically. The experience related to the pains character, intensity and durability. The pain was often perceived to restrict everyday-life by bringing difficulties performing exercises and resulted in deficient sleep. The physical experience where tinged by fear and anxiety. The healthcare professional’s treatment towards patients had an impact on the relationships trust-status. Earlier experiences and knowledge about pain affected how patients handled their pain. Pharmacological and nonpharmacological pain treatment were experienced as both positive and negative. Conclusion: Patients experiences the character of the pain, as well as the intensity and durability, individually varying. Trust towards healthcare staff, their treatment and attitude, had an impact on the postoperative pain experience. Earlier experiences of pharmacological treatments and the relationship with staff impacted patients attitude towards analgesics. Keywords: Experience, painassessment, pain relief, postoperative pain, suffering.

Texto completoBackground: Pain is subjective and it means that it is an individual experience. It may feel different depending on the previous experience of the patient. No one other than the patient himself can describe the perceived pain. It is important that patients' experience of pain observed for nurses to be able to respond to their needs in the best way and thus reduce suffering. Purpose: The aim is to highlight patients' experience of postoperative pain. Method: The study is a literature review which is based on both qualitative and quantitative articles. Results: The results are reported in four different themes: To suffer from pain, Importance of information and fear of drug dependence, being worried and do not want to be a bother, to feel insecure in front of the future. Pain is an individual experience and postoperative pain may cause suffering for the patient. They do not always experience that nurses respect their expressions of pain and therefore feel forgotten because of their lack of access to information about the future. Conclusion: It is important for patients to be involved in their care, to receive pain relief and to get clear information about what affects the postoperative care. They need support from relatives but especially from all the nurses to decrease both mental and physical suffering.

Texto completoBackground: Pain and elderly people are central parts of healthcare. Pain is a subjective feeling affecting humans both psychologically and physically. Pain is complex and there are many reasons why pain arises. Many elderly people in society do not get the right pain relief, which may be due to attitudes or incorrect assessments. To facilitate the assessment of pain, there are instruments that health professionals can use to assess the pain of the elderly. Aim: To describe elderly people’s perception of pain and how it’s administered in care settings. Method: A literature review that has been built on ten scientific articles. The articles were taken from CINAHL complete. Search terms used: Perception, aged, analgesia, nursing, pain, pain assessment, older adults, aged 80 above, patient, pain measurement, interviews. The theoretical framework was Katie Erikson's theory of suffering that refers to that suffering is part of life and is a defense for the individual. Results: The analyses of the results were divided into three themes: Pain and elderly, which illustrates how the pain is characterized in elderly. Identification and assessment of older people's pain, highlighting the assessment of older people's pain and the assessment instruments that can be used and how pain is managed, that elucidate the treatment of pain for elderly people. Discussions: The two themes addressed in the discussion were pain and elderly, and assessment of elderly people’s pain. These were discussed against Katie Erikson's theory about suffering and the consensus term care.

Doctoral thesis, Umeå universitet, Anestesiologi och intensivvård, 2005. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-509.
Texto completoThe overall objective of the thesis is to describe and illustrate the experience of being an arthroplastic surgery patient during the perioperative period with regard to the issues of communication, pain,suffering and satisfaction with care. While waiting for surgery, the participants in this thesis experience suffering in different ways and mainly experience health care as being unavailable and negative in a faceless system (I). Obtaining information related to their illness is difficult, as it is hard to establish contact with health care providers. The responsibility for establishing contact and obtaining information rests solely with the patients (II). In Paper I, due to poor communication, the respondents express feelings of abandonment, anonymity and being disparaged by the health care system. During the participants' journey through the health care system, the negative experience acquires a more positive nature, as personal contacts are established with health care representatives (I-IV). The findings in the different papers (I-IV) are interpreted in the light of Katie Eriksson and Lennart Fredriksson’s descriptions of suffering and the caring conversation. There are participants in this thesis who have been able to reach a personal understanding of themselves and have found reconciliation in suffering. In this way, they have been able to maintain or obtain meaning in their lifeworld. Through their own power, or with the help of family and friends, individuals may be able to attain confirmation of their suffering, have the time and space to suffer and find reconciliation. However, as long as health care is experienced as a faceless system, there are individuals in this study who are unable to face their suffering. During the patients’ journey through the system, it becomes obvious that the system obtains a face when the individuals are able to establish trustful contact with an actual person within the system. The system does not obtain a face as long as the individuals perceive themselves as being poorly treated by health care representatives. In these cases, the system is actually the cause of additional suffering. In the terms defined by Fredriksson, the system obtains a face when a turning point occurs in the form of a caring conversation. During the waiting time, there are few opportunities for a caring conversation. An opportunity is more likely to occur when the individual is admitted to hospital. This is reflected in the extensive degree of satisfaction with care as expressed in Papers II-IV. High levels of satisfaction are reported, although the participants report having experienced high levels of postoperative pain. In Paper III, 68% (n=40) and, in Paper IV, 83.5% (n=50) of the patients experienced pain of ≥ 4 on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). When they have been admitted to hospital, the individuals sense that they are confirmed by and visible in the system. This visibility is mutual, as the individual becomes an actual person to health care representatives. In a caring conversation, a sense of trust is established and, as this occurs, the individual and the care provider dare to communicate in an open way, where both are present in the situation.

Texto completoEndometriosis is a chronic disease affecting approximately 10 percent of all women in their reproductive years. Worldwide are 176 million women estimated to be affected by the disease. Endometriosis causes a tremendous suffering affecting the physical, mental, social and sexual wellbeing of women. Indepth knowledge about how women experience their condition and their bodies is required to provide high quality care and promote wellbeing. The purpose of this study was to describe women’s experiences of living with endometriosis. The research was conducted in a literature review consisting of 12 articles eight of which were qualitative and four quantitative. The scientific articles was completed in England (2), Norway, New Zealand, Denmark, Austria (3), Australia (3), Iran and USA between 2004-2014. The result showed that women experienced tremendous dissatisfaction as regards the care they received resulting in suffering. The disease affected aspects of life negatively which gave rise to life suffering and disease suffering. Although endometriosis is one of the most common diseases in the world, there is a detrimental lack of knowledge and incomprehension among health care professionals and the general public. There is thus a great need for improvements. Health care professionals must develop a better understand of how endometriosis affect women, avoiding a diminishing attitude to personal testimonies of grave suffering. More knowledge about endometriosis among health professionals and among the general public is necessary. There is a need for more education on the subject in the context of nursing studies.

Texto completoConcepts and subjective phenomena such as pain have always been difficult to measure accurately. The psychophysical methodology, mainly the magnitude estimation method developed by S.S. Stevens (1950), provides techniques for the development of precise scaling instruments for subjective phenomena. The present study intends to build a tool for the measure of pain using the psychophysical method of subjective magnitude estimation. Forty subjects (30 women and 10 men) with ages between 20 and 79 years were selected for the experimental group and twenty-four subjects with similar characteristics (sex, age, education and marital status) for the control group. Subjects from the experimental group were under treatment in the Pain Clinic of the University of São Paulo (Clínica Neurológica do Instituto Central do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo). The differences between the judgements made by the experimental group (with pain) and the judgements made by the control group (without pain) were studied in order to investigate if those groups had different ways of estimating the pain aroused by different painful situations. Data was collected individually by means of written forms. Three different forms were used for each subject containing three different sets of painful situations grouped as follows: pain due to common situations (headache, back pain, a.s.o.); pain due to severe illness (back pain, cancer, a.s.o); pain aroused by emotional or psychosocial situations (death of the son/daughter, diagnostic of severe illness, lost of the job, a.s.o.). From these judgement, the physical magnitude of the pain was calculated using the reverse of the psychophysical function of S. S. Stevens (S=kIn). The results demonstrated that there is agreement between the magnitude judgements of pain by both groups, making it possible to construct a pain-measuring tool by this means. Highest correlation was obtained for pain due to common situations (r=0,896), probably because most of the subjects had experienced these situations before and could give an accurate estimation of the aroused pain. It is concluded, that a pain-measuring tool should use these kind of painful situations as references for the pain felt by the patients.

Texto completoABSTRACT Background:Infants are exposed to several medical technical procedures that can cause procedural pain. To ensure that infants do not experience procedural pain, it is required to find nursing methods that can reduce this type of pain. Nursing methods that prevent and reduce procedural pain in infants can be pharmacological and non-pharmacological. Procedural pain in infants leads to infants suffering from disease, which should be avoided. Aim:The aim of this literature study is to chart if preventive pharmacological and non-pharmacological nursing methods can reduce procedural pain in infants during medical technical procedures. Method:To answer the aim of the study, a literature study with 11 quantitative articles were conducted. Result:The pharmacological methods that reduce procedural pain in infants are sucrose and glucose while paracetamol is a method that is not effective. The non-pharmacological methods that reduce procedural pain are for example breastfeeding, familiar auditory stimulus and swaddling. Swaddling was also effective in combination with sucrose and non-nutritive sucking while non-nutritive sucking had an preventing effect in combination with oral breastmilk and facilitated tucking. Skin-to-skin contact reduces procedural pain both alone and in combination with breastfeeding. There is no evidence that classical music reduces procedural pain in infants. Conclusion:There is evidence that pharmacological and non-pharmacological nursing methods reduce procedural pain in infants during medical technical procedures. Comfortability, physical contact and closeness are important factors in the prevention of pain in infants and can be achieved by use of various non-pharmacological methods. Although the use of pain prevention nursing methods reduces procedural pain, the absence of pain and suffering from disease can not be ensured.

Texto completoThe phenomena of the death involves lost of fields in the philosophy of Levinas and Lingis. Death is an absoliute apearence of change. Levinas asks it the death anounced by another person is my daeth? During the periodo f the agony you can not talk about your awn death like about. Death of another person. Death is like possibility of impossibility. According to Levinas phenomena of responsibility we reach another phenomena. Each person is responsible for the death of another persona s much as it is connected with his death. The conception of Levinas death destroys moral aspects of personality. Lingis thinks about those who are leaving everyhing and about those who die. See emphasizes that death is nothing, which reveals itself by our fear of the death. But really it is something. That coeed not be explained. Death is a limits of sufferings and it is something beyond us according to Lingis lonliness of a human beingo r his connections with himself, all intensivity, unchanging of conception of yourself are revealed in suffering. Repeatedby occuring activities remind us that the death is approuching. Also Lingis emphasizes communicative aspects in the phenomena of death.

Texto completoBackground: Long term pain is found in approximately half, 40-65 %, of the Swedish population. The pain must have been outstanding for at least three months for it to be classified as long term. For treatment to work, it is essential that the person with pain should be listened to and believed in their subjective experience of their pain. The long term pain influences the daily life in a negative way. The theoretical basis used is Erikson's theory about suffering andthecareof scientificconsensusconcept of health. Aim: The aim was to describe the experiences of living with long term pain. Method: A literature study was done where eight scientific papers formed the basis of the results in order to create an overview of the current existing research. Results: The literature review identified six different categories.These were the experience ofchangesin everyday life, the experience of painasunpredictable andan enemy, the experience of alteredself-image,the experience ofpain managementand pain managementstrategies, the experience of turning pointsandto see the positiveas well asthe experience ofmeeting withhealth professionals.

Texto completoBackground Long term pain is common and affects people in all walks of life. The disease is very complex and multidimensional and can have many consequences for the people afflicted, who are very rarely completely pain free. Aim The aim was to describe the patient experience of people living with long term pain. Method The method used is literature review with both quantitative and qualitative articles compiled from searches in the databases CINAHL and PubMed. They were put through quality control using assessment bases modified from Berg, Dencker and Skärsäter (1999) as well as Willman, Stoltz and Bahtsevani (2011). The result was then categorised according to what aspects were identified: Physical consequences, Experiences in the Healthcare system and Psychological consequences. These categories were then divided into subcategories presented in the result. Results People living with long term pain describe negative consequences related to their pain. Physical, mental, and social suffering because of long term pain and limited understanding and poor reception from the care system can be shown in the articles. Conclusions Pain and suffering are closely interlinked, and long-term pain is rarely without suffering. Subpar care with ignorance from health care personnel increases suffering and more knowledge is required within the care system.

Texto completoBackground: Pain is a subjective feeling where each individual learns the meaning of the word through their own experiences. Pain is something almost everyone experiences after a surgical procedure and where insufficient pain relief in the acute phase can lead to severe complications, which creates suffering for the patient and large socio-economic costs. Aim: To describe patients' experience of postoperative pain management. Method: Literature review with descriptive design of 11 qualitative original articles from the databases PubMed, CINAHL and PsycINFO whose contents were analyzed in five steps. Result: Patients were generally satisfied despite pain. There were different opinions about the benefits of the NRS (numeric rating scale). Patients had a number of conceptions about drugs that led them to avoid analgesics. Information was considered to be mainly helpful, especially written, however patients felt that the information was deficient. Attitude, trust and communication played an important role in the relationship between staff and patient. Patients who underwent day surgery and treated their pain alone in the home with very limited contact with health care professionals experienced difficulties in making decisions and following their pain management plan. Patients appreciated being included and involved in their care, although it could be perceived as a burden, and took many own initiatives and strategies during their treatment, often to avoid using analgesics. Previous experience was also something that often helped patients in their pain management. Conclusion: Patients were often satisfied with their pain management even though they were still experiencing pain, most important to achieve this was a peace of mind. Important factors for this were detailed written and repeated information about pain, pain treatment and analgesics as well as a good, professional, inclusive and individualized response from the care staff. Deficiencies in these areas led to worrying and fear of the unknown, which made the pain experience more difficult. Patients rarely experienced adequate pain relief.

Texto completoBackground; Many patients within palliative care suffer from severe pain. Despite farmacological treatment some patients still experience insufficient pain relief. This has led to an increased interest in complementary therapies within palliative care. Aim; To describe the pain relieving effects of complementary therapies within palliative care. Method; This study is carried out as a literature review based on thirteen articles with quantitative approach. Results; Massage, music therapy and acupuncture has been studied as these treatments are accepted by Swedish law. The results showed a significant improvement of pain after the treatments. Duration of the pain relieving effects varied between the different methods. Music therapy and massage showed an immidiate but short term effect. Acupuncture showed a long term effect that needed to be repeated for best effect. Conclusion; Complementary methods may together with farmacological treatment improve the pain relief and offer a better end of life.

Texto completoBackground: Chronic pain is common and seen as a public health problem. Typical of chronic pain is that the pain experience, apart from the pain itself, is characterized by mental and social problems. The causes of pain can be many, and the treatment complex. The nurse has a major role in the care of patients. Purpose: To describe patients' experiences of living with chronic pain. Method: Qualitative method where 10 articles were read and analyzed. Results: 6 themes were identified; limited quality of life, limited opportunity for a social life, a changed view of life, different weekdays, the desire to deal with chronic pain and be seen and respected in the healthcare. Discussion: Above all chronic pain must be seen as a suffering and a life adjustment for the patients and the relatives. Patients need to better understand themselves and accept the pain, a process which is required. Different approaches are used as a strategy to manage the pain and the treatment from the nurse is considered extremely important. Conclusion: It is important that the patient is taken seriously to reduce the suffering and increase the quality of life. It is important that the nurse considers the patient's personal life.

Texto completoBackground: The aim of palliative care is to alleviate suffering for the patients. Patients with incurable cancer diseases state that nurses have a significant role in processing their suffering. Problem: Without increased knowledge of suffering for patients with incurable cancer disease in palliative care, nurses are not given sufficient prerequisites to meet patients in their suffering. Aim: To describe how patients with cancer in palliative care experience suffering. Method: A literature study with descriptive synthesis. Result: The analysis of ten articles generated two themes and four subthemes. One theme is when the cancer takes over the body and the other theme is existential needs. Under these themes, four subthemes were formed: losing control, feeling physical pain, doubting and losing hope and the last subtheme having faith and finding comfort. Conclusion: Patients suffering needs to be seen from physical, psychological, psychosocial and existential need to achieve optimal relief of suffering. Increased understanding of patients suffering in an incurable cancer in palliative care can generate nurses who can relieve their suffering better.

"Anestesisjuksköterskans åtgärder inför den postoperativa vården : En journalgranskningsstudie med fokus på smärta, illamående och vårdtid hos patienter som genomgått Gastric Bypass-operationer". Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Institutionen för folkhälso- och vårdvetenskap, 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-324892.
Texto completoObjectives: Almost 50 % of Swedish adults are overweight or obese, which costs the society billions annually. Although surgical treatments of obesity (primarily gastric bypass [GBP]) are increasing in Sweden, the patient's perioperative health status are relatively unexplored in terms of pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting [PONV], length of postoperative observation ward [POW] stay and the increasing suffering this entails. The authors aim to describe the amount of perioperative analgesics and antiemetics that GBP patients receive, and investigate how the nurse anesthetist can affect the postoperative care. Method: A quantitative descriptive retrospective study with a total of 68 patients was conducted. Result: The need for postoperative analgesics (p<.05) and the length of stay in the POW (p<.05) were both reduced whenever local anesthetics were given during surgery. If antiemetics were given intraoperatively, the use of antiemetics postoperatively was reduced; (p<.001). A greater intraoperative dose antiemetic/kg/minute reduced the length of stay in the POW (p<.001) regardless whether the patients received local anesthetics (p<.01) or not (p<.05). Conclusion: The nurse anesthetist can positively impact the immediate time after surgery. Intraoperative administration of antiemetics and local anesthetics have crucial roles for the continued care of the GBP patient in terms of suffering connected to pain, PONV and length of stay in the POW. Antiemetics are seemingly dosed based on a routine and not on the patient's weight. More research in this area are requested.

Texto completoBakgrund: Långvarig smärta är vanligt förekommande och skapar ett lidande hos människor. Smärtupplevelsen är unik för varje individ och påverkas av många olika faktorer. Otillräcklig kunskap i bedömningen av långvarig smärta medför svårigheter i att lindra lidande. Sjuksköterskors föreställningar om smärta kan vara hinder för att lyssna på patienten. Sjuksköterskan skapar förutsättningar för en väl fungerande dialog. En ökad förståelse för patientens perspektiv är nödvändigt för att förstå patientens behov. Syfte: Syftet är att belysa människors upplevelser av att leva med långvarig smärta. Metod: Metoden är en litteraturöversikt influerad av Friberg (2012). 12 kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar inhämtade ur tre olika databaser har analyserats. Resultat: Resultatet presenterar två huvudkategorier med tillhörande underkategorier. Den första huvudkategorin: När smärtan tar över belyser hur smärta påverkar människor ur fysiska, psykiska, sociala och existentiella aspekter. Den andra huvudkategorin: Vägen till att kunna hantera smärtan uppmärksammar människors sätt att hantera smärtan genom strategier och acceptans. Diskussion: Resultatet diskuteras utifrån Armstrongs symtomupplevelsemodell som visar att människor ger mening åt smärtupplevelser på olika sätt, vilket kan medföra en positiv eller negativ inverkan i deras liv. Vidare knyts resultatet till Erikssons vårdvetenskapliga begrepp: sjukdomslidande, livslidande och vårdlidande samt teorin om den lidande människan som beskriver att smärtan kan påverka människan som helhet.
