Background: Aphasia is a language disorder that usually occurs after a brain injury. It is common for the disease to occur in connection with stroke. In Sweden, approximately 8,000 - 10,000 people suffer from aphasia each year, thirty-five percent of them are middle-aged and active. Patients with aphasia have difficulty communicating, which affects several different aspects of the individual's daily life. Aim: The purpose of this literature review was to describe experiences of communication in daily life in patients with aphasia due to stroke. Method: The literature review was performed according to Friberg's model, based on qualitative scientific articles collected from the databases PubMed and Cinahl Complete during the period 2005–2020. Results: The results from twelvescientific articles were used to describe experiences of communication in the daily life of patients with aphasia. This was divided into three main themes: Disease suffering, life suffering and care suffering. The first theme was divided into four different subthemes, the second theme was divided into two subthemes and the third theme had no subthemes. The result was experiences of losing friends, roles in communities and in the family. Changed world of life, led to despair and anger. Many experienced sadness and loneliness. Close relatives and their partners played a significant role in making them feel well. Conclusion: The literature study has shown the importance of communication in the patient's everyday life and conveyed the greatest responsibility that both healthcare staff and society have for treating patients with aphasia, which contributes to a better quality of life.

Bakgrund: Inom akutsjukvård föreligger ofta stora medicinska behov hos patienter, där luftvägar, andning och cirkulation kräver noga kontroll. Samtidigt behöver patienter även bemötas ur ett helhetsperspektiv, där empati och respekt för situationens skörhet utgör två grundstenar. Sjuksköterskan är ansvarig för patientens omvårdnad som skakaraktäriseras av ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt där individen får utrymme att uttrycka sina behov. Idag står svensk akutsjukvård inför utmaningar med överbelastning, vilket resulterat i svårigheter att upprätthålla garantier för patientsäkerhet och bemötanden utifrån ett holistiskt förhållningssätt. Travelbees omvårdnadsteori grundas på interaktionen mellan sjuksköterska och patient, vilket således lämpar sig för studiens syfte som innefattar bemötande där kommunikationen är en central del. Syfte: Att undersöka patienters upplevelse av bemötandet från vårdpersonal inom svensk akutsjukvård.  Metod: En deskriptiv design med kvalitativ ansats användes för följande litteraturöversikt av elva artiklar.  Resultat: Ett huvudtema kunde kondenseras från resultatet: Ett gott bemötande inbegriper god information vilket innebär att kommunikationen speglar god kompetens bland personalen där individens behov står i centrum. Följaktligen presenteras tre kategorier, vilka är: vikten av information, betydelsen av kommunikation och kompetens samt se individen. Slutsats: Hur personal bemöter patienter inom akutsjukvård påverkar deras upplevelser av vård och personal. Genom att ta de aspekter som presenteras i resultatet i beaktning, har personal goda möjligheter att främja patienters upplevelser av vårdbesöket. / Background: In emergency care the patient is often in a great medical need where airways, breathing and circulation requires thorough observation. Simultaneously, patients need an encounter with a holistic perspective, where empathy and respect for the vulnerability of the situation are two elements. The nurse is responsible for the care of the patient, which is intended to be characterized by a person-centered approach, including room for the individual to express his or her needs. Today, Swedish emergency care is facing challenges regarding overload. It causes difficulties to ensure safety for the patient as well as an encounter with a holistic approach. Travelbee’s theory is rooted in the interaction between the registered nurse and patient, for which communication is central, and is thereby suitable for the objective of this study. Objective: To describe the experienced encounter with health care professionals in Swedish emergency care. Method: A descriptive design with qualitative approach was used in this literature review of eleven articles. Result: A synthesis emerged from the result: A good encounter includes information, in which the communication reflects competence of the health care professionals, and where the individual needs of the patients are at the center. Thus, three categories are presented: the importance of information, the meaning of communication and competence and seeing the individual. Conclusion: The way health care professionals encounter patients in emergency care, affects their experiences of care and personnel. Taking presented aspects of the result in consideration, staff have great possibilities to promote patients' experiences of health care encounters
