Nurses' experiences of meeting and caring for patients with mental disorders in somatic care (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Patienter med psykisk ohälsa har länge varit en stigmatiserad grupp inom vården och samhället och med psykiatriska diagnoser följer ofta förutfattade meningar hos omgivningen vilket påverkar patientgruppen negativt. Patienter med psykisk ohälsa löper också större risk att dö i förtid, bland annat på grund av att deras somatiska besvär underdiagnostiseras och misstolkas för att vara psykiska åkommor.  

Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att möta och vårda patienter med psykisk ohälsa inom den somatiska vården.  

Metod: Detta är en litteraturstudie baserat på åtta kvalitativa studier.  

Resultat: Litteraturstudien resulterade i tre huvudkategorier: organisatoriska faktorer, sjuksköterskans kompetens och mötet med patienten. Dessa delades in i ytterligare sju subkategorier. 

Konklusion: Sjuksköterskorna inom den somatiska vården upplevde patienter med psykiska ohälsa som svåra och oförutsägbara och de efterfrågade mer kunskap inom ämnet. Det organisatoriska och kollegiala stödet var också bristfälligt och skapade hinder för sjuksköterskorna att ge den goda vård de önskade. Vidare forskning på ämnet är önskvärt.  

Abstract [en]

Background: For a long time, patients with mental disorders have been stigmatized in both society and in care settings. It has shown that psychiatric diagnoses often come with prejudice. This affects this group of patients negatively, as it creates a barrier towards seeking somatic health care. They also have a higher mortality rate, because of misinterpreted somatic symptoms and limited care access.  

Aim: To describe nurses' experiences of meeting and caring for patients with mental disorders in somatic care.  

Methods: A literature review based on eight qualitative studies.  

Results: This literature study resulted in three main categories: organizational factors, the nurse’s competence and the meeting with the patients. These were further divided into seven subcategories.  

Conclusion: The somatic nurses’ experienced patients with mental disorder as difficult and unpredictable and they requested more knowledge in the subject. They were also affected by the lack of organizational and collegial support which created obstacles in providing adequate care for these patients. Further research on the topic is suggested.
