<p>Bakgrund: Dödshjälp eller eutanasi innebär att åtgärder vidtas för att skapa en så lätt ochfridfull död som möjligt. Nederländerna, Luxemburg och vissa stater i USA har en lag somtillåter dödshjälp, dock är dödshjälp fortfarande olagligt i de flesta delarna av världen. Antaletstudier kring sjuksköterskors attityder kring dödshjälp är få. Den tidigare forskning som finnspåvisar att attityderna kring dödshjälp är mycket delade. Olika studier visa mycket olikaresultat beroende på vart studien görs och vilka sjuksköterskor som deltar.Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt är att belysa bakomliggande faktorer kringsjuksköterskors attityder till dödshjälp.Metod: En litteraturöversikt har använts i denna studie utifrån Friberg (2008) föreskrifter. 13artiklar har använts som särskilts i en del med artiklar av kvalitativ art och en med kvantitativart. Sökord som har använts är sjuksköterska, dödshjälp och attityder vilka sökts i databasenCINAHL.Resultat: I resultatet framkommer det att den viktigaste och mest betydelsefulla faktorn till attsjuksköterskor har en positiv eller negativ attityd till dödshjälp är religion. De sjuksköterskorsom var troende hade en mer negativ attityd medan agnostiker eller ateister var mer positiva.Ett outhärdligt lidande, stor smärta och det faktum att mediciner ej längre lindrar patientenstillstånd kunde ses som en annan viktig faktor till varför sjuksköterskor hade en positiv attitydtill dödshjälp. En annan faktor till en negativ attityd var maktmissbruk. Studien påvisar att desjuksköterskor som arbetade inom intensiv/akut vård har en mer positiv attityd än desjuksköterskor som arbetade inom palliativ vård.</p> / <p>Background: Euthanasia means different methods that are used to create an easy andpeaceful death. The Netherlands, Luxembourg and certain States in USA have a law thatpermits euthanasia. Euthanasia is still illegal in the most countries in the world and there arefew studies done around nurses' attitudes around this. Previous research demonstrates that theattitudes around death help are divided. Different studies show very various result dependingon where each study is done and which nurses that participate.Aim: To explore the underlying factors to nurses attitudes towards euthanasia.Method: A literature review has been used in this study on the basis of Friberg (2008)regulations. 13 articles has been used and these have been separate in one part which isarticles with a qualitative method and one with quantitative method. The words that has beenused in the seeking process are nurse, euthanasia and attitudes and the seeking is done in thedatabase CINAHL.Result: The result shows that nurses attitudes divides a lot from each other, it is verydepending on underlying factors. It showes that one of the most important factor to i nurseshas a negative or positive attitude to death help is religion. The nurses that are religious had amore negative attitude while agnostics or atheists where more positive. Intolerable suffering,great pain and the fact that medicines could not improve the patient's conditions are importantfactors for the nurses positive attitude to euthanasia. Misfeasance was also as a factor to whysome nurses had a negative attitude to euthanasia. The study reflects that the nurses that wereworking within intensive/the emergency treatment had a more positive attitude than the nursesthat was working within palliative the care.</p>

More people are likely to be diagnosed with cancer and the number of people living with cancer is expected to increase, which means that patients live longer with cancer and different treatments. All patients in Sweden should have access to a nurse navigator to facilitate the cancer trajectory. The purpose of this literature review was to delineate patients' experiences of the care given by the nurse navigator. The result is based upon twelve scientific articles included in this review. The results show that the experiences of the patients can be divided into four different categories: emotional support- being present and offering supportive talks, support for physical symptoms- counseling and relief from symptoms due to illness and treatments, educational support- receiving information and knowledge about the disease and cancer trajectory and coordination support- collaboration with other healthcare professionals involved in patients´care. The result shows that the experiences of the patients were mainly positive and they received the care that was the aim of introducing nurse navigators in Sweden. It is important to continue doing research of the care given by the nurse navigator to ensure that patients with cancer are receiving evidenced based care. / Antalet människor som drabbas av cancer och som lever med cancer förväntas öka, vilket innebär att patienter lever längre med cancersjukdom och olika behandlingar. Alla patienter med cancer skall i Sverige ha tillgång till en kontaktsjuksköterska för att underlätta för patienten genom vårdprocessen. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva patienters erfarenheter av kontaktsjuksköterskans omvårdnad inom cancervården. Tolv vetenskapliga artiklar inkluderades och ligger till grund för resultatet. Resultatet visade att patienternas erfarenheter av kontaktsjuksköterskans omvårdnad kunde delas in i fyra kategorier: emotionellt stöd - att finnas till hands och ge stödjande samtal, stöd vid fysiska besvär- råd och lindring av symptom på grund av sjukdom och behandling, kunskapsstöd - information och utbildning om sjukdom och vårdprocessen och samordningsstöd - samarbete med andra vårdgivare delaktiga i patientens vård. Resultatet visade att patienternas erfarenheter av kontaktsjuksköterskans omvårdnad i huvudsak var positiva och att de fick den omvårdnad som var syftet med införandet av kontaktsjuksköterskefunktionen i Sverige. Fortsatt forskning om kontaktsjuksköterskans omvårdnad inom cancervården ses som betydelsefullt för att säkerställa att evidensbaserad omvårdnad erbjuds patienter med cancersjukdom.

Background: Self- harm among children is a growing problem in Sweden. The behavior means that persons deliberately hurt themselves. It´s not only the child who suffer from this behavior, it also affect the parents and siblings. It’s important that the nurse can give parents the support and information that they need. Research is limited when it comes to parents’ experience of having a child who deliberately harm her-/himself. Aim: The aim of this study was to illuminate parents’ experiences of living with a child with deliberate self-harm. Method: A literature-based study based on analysis of ten qualitative articles was performed. Results: The result are presented in three categories; "Feeling responsible", "Desire to be a better parent", "Feeling invisible and extradited" Conclusion: Nurses need more knowledge about self-harm and how parents perceive their situation. Parents need more support and information from the nurse.

Evidence-based practice has resulted in better patient outcomes, higher patient satisfaction, and effective patient-centered care. Leadership of a large teaching hospital determined that new nurses lacked the education and experience to design and implement an evidence-based project at the bedside, which was an expected outcome for completion of the established nurse residency program. The purpose of this project was to develop a design-only project in which Masters of Science in Nursing-prepared mentors were added to the residency program to establish the required evidence-based project. A mentor workshop was developed to guide the mentors in this role using Benner's novice to expert theoretical model. A team of stakeholders, including an expert in the field of nursing education, provided ongoing process evaluation in the development of the outcome products including the Mentor Facilitation Guide, Mentor Workshop Curriculum, Mentoring Toolkit, Pre-and Post-Mentor Workshop Survey Assessment, and Mentor Implementation Plan. Stakeholders completed a summative evaluation on the processes, outcomes, and student leadership of the project. Findings showed that the project met 100% of the stated goals and objectives, as evidenced by the stakeholders' responses to the summative evaluation regarding the degree of effectiveness for the project, process, and leadership skills. Implementation and evaluation of the project, which was developed for use in the hospitals' existing nurse residency program, will occur post-graduation. Social change will occur if new nurses learn to use evidence-based practice to support their nursing actions, resulting in improved patient care outcomes and population health.
