När det är dags att dö : Intensivvårdssjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att avbryta livsuppehållande behandling / When it is time to die : Intensive care nurses’ experiences in withdrawing life-sustaining treatmentKarlsson, Frida, Stålhaag, Linda January 2022 (has links)
Bakgrund: Då det inte längre finns en kurativ behandling för en patient som intensivvårdats är det av betydelse att föra diskussioner kring avbrytande av livsuppehållande behandling. Avbrytandet innefattar flertalet aspekter som intensivvårdssjuksköterskan i olika grad kan påverka. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva intensivvårdssjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att avbryta livsuppehållande behandling. Metod: Kvalitativ studie där tio intensivvårdssjuksköterskor intervjuades med semistrukturerade frågor. Resultat: Tre teman med fem subteman framkom; Betydelsen av att kommunicera, När det är dags att avbryta samt Viljan att göra gott. Intensivvårdssjuksköterskorna belyste betydelsen av en tvärprofessionell kommunikation för att främja teamarbetet. Närstående ska involveras tidigt i vårdförloppet då det ökar upplevelsen av delaktighet. Vårdmiljön ansågs inte anpassad för palliativ vård men anpassades i den mån det är möjligt. Patientens önskemål kring sin vård ska beaktas. Intensivvårdssjuksköterskorna beskrev att ett tidigare beslut gällande avbrytande av livsuppehållande behandling skulle kunna förhindra onödigt lidande. Ångest- och smärtlindrande läkemedel var avgörande vid vård i livets slutskede. Konklusion: En förbättrad kommunikation tvärprofessionellt ansågs minska patientens lidande. Involvering av patient och närstående främjar delaktighet. Vårdmiljön ansågs inte gynnsam för palliativ vård men anpassades i den mån det var möjligt. Genom att intensivvårdssjuksköterskor delar med sig av sina erfarenheter kan patientens hälsa främjas och lidande reduceras. / Background: When there no longer is a curative treatment for an intensive care patient it is important to discuss the aspects of withdrawing life-sustaining treatment. The withdrawal of treatment includes several aspects that the intensive care nurse in various ways can affect. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe intensive care nurses experiences' in withdrawing life-sustaining treatment. Method: A qualitative design with ten intensive care nurses that were interviewed with semi-structured questions. Results: Three themes and five subthemes emerged; The importance of communicating, When it is time to withdraw treatment and The will to do good. Interprofessional communication was considered promoting teamwork. Relatives' involvement increases the experience of participation. The intensive care environment is not considered adapted for palliative care. The patients wishes regarding their care must be taken into consideration. The intensive care nurses described that an earlier decision regarding withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment could prevent unnecessary suffering. Drugs to reduce anxiety and pain was crucial in end-of-life care. Conclusion: Improved interprofessional communication was considered to reduce the patient's suffering. Involvement of patients and relatives promoted participation. The care environment was not considered favorable for palliative care but was adapted as far as possible. By sharing intensive care nurses' experiences, the patient's health can be promoted and suffering reduced.

Le refus de soins anticipé : une décision impossible ? / The advance refusal of care, an impossible decision to make?Guyon, Gaëlle 14 December 2015 (has links)
Contexte : Qu’ils soient parlementaires, sociétaux ou judiciaires, les débats actuels relatifs à la fin de vie font ressortir de vives préoccupations sociales, éthiques et politiques en France et dans le monde. L’affaire « Vincent LAMBERT » illustre parfaitement les enjeux de situations médicales à la frontière de la vie et de la mort et montre ainsi les limites de l’encadrement législatif des situations de fin de vie. Les rebondissements juridictionnels successifs intervenus dans cette affaire font observer à quel point la prise de décision médicale est complexe, tiraillée entre les volontés, parfois opposées, du patient, de ses proches, voire des professionnels de santé. Objectif : L’objectif de notre recherche était d’identifier les barrières rencontrées lors de la prise de décision médicale devant mettre en œuvre un refus anticipé de traitement. Il convenait de répondre à la question suivante : un refus de soins anticipé est-il une décision impossible ? Méthodes : La première partie des travaux présentés a consisté à recueillir l’avis et évaluer les connaissances des patients et de leurs accompagnants sur les moyens qui permettent à un patient d’exprimer sa volonté par anticipation. La deuxième partie a consisté dans l’identification des critères d’efficacité et d’inefficacité des directives anticipées à travers une analyse de la littérature scientifique et une recherche en droit comparé. La troisième partie présente les difficultés rencontrées dans la mise en œuvre des décisions de limitation et d’arrêt des traitements sur les plans pratique et judiciaire. Conclusion : L’ensemble des questions soulevées au cours de cette recherche suggère la nécessité de développer, en France, des mécanismes efficients d’expression anticipée de la volonté des patients et de promouvoir leur diffusion. Les personnes désirant rédiger des directives anticipées devraient pouvoir avoir accès à un dispositif garantissant le respect et l’effectivité de leur droit à refuser un traitement. Une personne dans l’incapacité d’exprimer sa volonté devrait pouvoir exercer les mêmes droits de refuser un traitement et de voir ce choix respecté qu’une personne capable de s’exprimer. / Context: The current debates concerning the end of life deal with legal, judicial and social issues. What is clear is they all highlight some serious social, ethical and political concerns in France and in the world. The case « Vincent Lambert » shows exactly the difficulties of medical situations between the life and the death of patients, which puts in evidence the limits of the legal framework. Indeed, several judicial reversals happened in this case and illustrate well how difficult it is to make a right medical decision when the patient, their relatives and medical staff have conflicting views. Objective: The objective of our research was to identify which are the difficulties when medical staff has to make a decision applying an anticipated refusal of treatment. As a consequence, the challenge was to answer the following question: is an anticipated refusal of treatment an impossible decision? Methods: Our work was divided into three parts. The first part aimed at asking patients’ opinions as well as assessing their knowledge of the different ways to express their will in advance. Then, the second part had to determine which criteria ensure a good application of advance directives. This study was based on an analysis of the scientific literature and a work in Comparative Law. In the end, the third part presents both practical and judicial problems regarding the application of a decision whose the goal is to withhold and withdraw a life-sustaining treatment Conclusion: This research has raised several issues and it draws our attention on the need to devise effective ways to give an anticipated consent about the end of life. If people want to write advance directives, they should have the possibility to do so and make sure their right to refuse a treatment is respected. In addition, even though someone is unable to give their consent because of their condition or disease, they should be able to use the same right to refuse a treatment and should be sure their decision is respected.
