Bakgrund: Diabetes mellitus är en kronisk sjukdom som allt fler personer världen över drabbas av. Studier har visat ett nära samband mellan livsstil och diabetes typ 2. Genom att ha en bra egenvårdsbehandling minskar personen med diabetes risken för senkomplikationer. Här har diabetessköterskan ett viktigt ansvar att arbeta både hälsofrämjande och sjukdomsförebyggande genom vägledning i egenvård. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva diabetessköterskans erfarenheter av att vägleda personer med diabetes i egenvård. Metod: Mellan januari och mars 2016 genomfördes 16 stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer med diabetessköterskor inom primärvården. Intervjuerna transkriberades och analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys baserad på Elo och Kyngäs. Kategorier och underkategorier skapades sedan. Resultat: Innehållsanalysen har resulterat i tre kategorier; Grunden för engagemang, Kunskapsöverföring och Organisatoriska faktorer. Under respektive kategori finns 2-4 underkategorier. I resultatet kunde fyra huvudfynd ses vilka var; Diabetessköterskans möjlighet att skapa delaktighet, kunskapen hos både diabetessköterskan och personen med diabetes, grupputbildningarnas hälsofrämjande inverkan och teamets inverkan på vägledningen. Slutsats: Resultatet belyser vikten av att vägledningen bygger på kunskap och leder till ett ökat engagemang hos personen med diabetes. En väl fungerande kommunikation är avgörande för att nå de gemensamma målen samt att det finns ett fungerande team runt personen med diabetes som tillsammans arbetar mot samma mål. / Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease which affects more and more people around the world. Studies have shown a close relationship between lifestyle and diabetes type 2 and the importance of having a good self-care treatment to reduce the risk of complications. The diabetes nurse has an important responsibility to work with both health promotion and disease prevention through guidance in self-care. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to describe the diabetes nurse’s experiences of guiding people with diabetes in self-care. Method: 16 semi-structured interviews was performed during January – March 2016 with diabetes nurses who worked in primary care. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a qualitative content analysis. Result: The content analysis resulted in three categories; the ground for commitment, Knowledge transfer and Organizational conditions. The four main results in the study was: The diabetes nurse’s possibilities to create participation, knowledge that both the diabetes nurse and the person possessed,  group educations health promoting impacts and the team’s impact on guidance. Conclusion: The result highlights that guidance in self-care should be built on knowledge and lead to a higher level of engagement. A well-functioning communication is crucial to achieve common goals and that the team around the person with diabetes is working together towards the same goal.

Bakgrund: Hjärtsvikt är ett globalt hälsoproblem som ständigt ökar. Detta hälsoproblem påverkar patienters förmåga att kunna utföra dagliga aktiviteter samt utförandet av egenvård för att minska påverkan av symtomen. Orems egenvårdsteori användes som teoretisk utgångspunkt. Syfte: var att beskriva patienters upplevelser av daglig egenvård vid kronisk hjärtsvikt. Metod: I litteraturöversikten användes vetenskapliga artiklar med kvalitativ metod som analyserades enligt Fribergs (2017) analys. Resultat: Genom 13 vetenskapliga artiklar presenteras resultatet i tre huvudteman med respektive subteman: Emotionella utmaningar (förändrade känslor), Fysiska begränsningar (dyspné & fatigue), Stöd genom egenvård (resurser). Slutsats: Patienter upplevde att negativa känslor påverkade deras förmåga att utföra egenvård. Socialt stöd från familjen hade både positiv och negativ påverkan. Samtal med olika professioner var värdefullt för patienterna då de fick ökad kunskap om hjärtsvikt för att hantera sin egenvård. Kunskapsbrister hos vårdpersonalen resulterade till att behövlig information inte förmedlades till patienter med hjärtsvikt vilket kunde orsaka egenvårdsbrist. / Background: Heart failure is a global health problem that is constantly increasing. Symptoms of heart failure affects the performance in activities of daily living and the ability to perform self-care. Proper self-care can decrease symptoms, increase self-esteem and well-being. Orem's theory Self-care deficit nursing theory was used as a theoretical framework. Aim: was to describe chronic heart failure patients experiences of daily self-care. Method: The literature review had scientific articles with a qualitative method which was analyzed by Friberg's (2017).   Results: A total of 13 scientific articles were selected for the results and presented in three main categories with respective subcategories: Emotional challenges (changed emotions), Physical limitations (dyspnea & fatigue), Support through self-care (resources). Conclusion: Patients experienced that negative emotions affected their ability to perform self-care. Social support from the family had both a positive and negative impact. Conversations with various professions were valuable for patients as they gained increased knowledge about heart failure to manage their self-care. Inadequacy in healthcare staff resulted in incorrect information being communicated to patients with heart failure and causing inefficient self-care.

Thesis: The main contribution of D. Orem's self-care theory is that, using adequate methods, it leads the nurses to respect patients' own conception of self-care. Key words: Patient - nurse relationships, Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory, D. E. Orem, human actions, respect for autonomy, NANDA taxonomy, non-compliance, responsibility. This dissertation thesis deals with the issues of a relationship between a patient and a healthcare worker, or more precisely a nurse, all from the point of view of patient self-care in the sense of deliberate action that is conducted by the patient for the purpose of sustaining their health and realizing their life plans. Ethical aspects of Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory consist in the approach to a person that emphasizes the human nature of a human being that develops within the community - among other people, that becomes unique and that cares about their own being. Self-care deficit nursing theory is compared to NANDA taxonomy II with respect to a patient's autonomy. Both approaches to nursing care are studied from the point of view of their assumptions, theoretical basis, the diagnostic process, communication, personal competence of nurses and the aims of health care. Attention is also paid to the situations when a patient is not willing to take part in the...
