Nurses' experiences of caring for end-of-life patients in hospitals : A literature study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Abstrakt 

Bakgrund: Cirka 56,8 miljoner människor i världen beskrivs behöva palliativ vård varje år. I Sverige avlider cirka 90 000 människor per år och cirka 80% av dem kan ha behövt palliativ omvårdnad.

Syfte: Syftet med litteraturöversikten är att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda patienter i livets slutskede på sjukhus.

Metod: En litteraturstudie genomfördes på nio kvalitativa artiklar. Databassökning genomfördes i Cinahl, Pubmed och PsycInfo. För att analysera studierna har Fribergs femstegsmodell använts.

Resultat: Analysen resulterade i fyra huvudkategorier och tio underkategorier. De fyra huvudkategorierna var känslomässiga reaktioner, stöd och bristande stöd, copingstrategier och strävan efter att vara professionell.

Konklusion: Sjuksköterskor upplever vård i livets slutskede som meningsfullt och känslomässigt utmanande. Kunskapsbrist hos sjuksköterskor kan påverka patienters vårdkvalitet och bristande stöd från arbetsplatsen kan påverka sjuksköterskors hälsa. Ytterligare forskning kan behövas angående sjuksköterskors utbildning och erfarenheter av palliativ vård.

Abstract 

Background: Around 56.8 million people in the world are described as needing palliative care each year. In Sweden, around 90,000 people die each year and around 80% of them have needed palliative care.

Aim: The aim of the literature study is to describe nurses' experiences of caring for patients at the end of life in hospitals.

Methods: A literature study was carried out on nine qualitative articles. Database search was performed in Cinahl, Pubmed and PsycInfo. To analyze the studies, Friberg's five-step model has been used.

Results: The analysis resulted in four main categories and ten subcategories. The four main categories were emotional reactions, support and lack of support, coping strategies and ambition to be professional.

Conclusion: Nurses experience end-of-life care as meaningful and emotionally challenging. Lack of knowledge among nurses can affect patients' quality of care and lack of support from the workplace can affect nurses' health. Further research may be needed regarding nurses' education and experiences in palliative care.
