<p>Background: Heart failure is a complex condition which means that the hearts capacity topump blood is reduced. The aim of this study was to investigate how patients with heartfailure considered their knowledge and the information they received about their disease andself-care.Method: Patients suffering from heart failure, hospitalized at section 30 E (n=13), andpatients visiting the nurse led heart failure clinic (n=4) at Akademiska sjukhuset in Uppsala,were requested to participate in the study. The patients answered questions about knowledgeand information concerning self-care and their disease. Data were analyzed using SPSS 15.0.Results: The patients valued their knowledge about the disease as lower than their knowledgeabout self-care. The study showed that all the patients found the information they hadreceived about their self-care better than the information they had received about theirdisease. The results also showed that the better the patients considered the information abouttheir disease the better they had interpreted the knowledge about their disease.Conclusion: The patients valued their knowledge and the information the received about selfcarehigher than about the disease. This indicates that is it easier to understand the self-care. Itis hard to generalize the conclusion due to the number of participating patients in the studywas small (n=17).</p> / <p>Bakgrund: Hjärtsvikt är ett komplext tillstånd som innebär att hjärtats förmåga att pumpablod är nedsatt.

Uppfattningen om den information patienterna fått om egenvårdskattades bättre än uppfattningen om den information de fått om sin sjukdom.

<p>Background: There are many possible reasons why a patient gets a stoma and in every case it’s of importance for the nurse to adjust nursing care, information and patient education from individual presuppositions. Problem: Patient education regarding stoma self-care is an important part of the nurse’s work within stoma care. The patient is depending on the guidance of the nurse and therefore it is relevant to illuminate the importance of education regarding gaining ability to perform self-care. </p><p>Aim: To illuminate factors that enable the patient’s learning and ability of managing stoma self-care. </p><p>Method: A literature review was conducted where scientific articles were viewed and presented according to guidelines for academic work. </p><p>Result/Diskussion: Contributions from both nurse and patient are needed to achieve good education and increased self-care ability. Several factors regarding patient education emerged. These factors had both positive and negative influence on learning and independence concerning self-care. Shortcomings can be found regarding patient education for stoma patients and it’s not every time that the nurse responds to the patients need for information. </p><p>Conclusion: Factors with the nurse that affect education: the nurse’s competence – practical and theoretical knowledge, holistic view, promotion of patient participation and support, consideration and respect, insight in appropriate occasion for education and understanding of the importance of preoperative teaching.

Learning ability – readiness to learn and active or passive knowledge seeking. </p><p>Implikation: There is a great need of further research regarding self-care and patient education for stoma patients. Nurses need more education regarding this subject during his/her professional training.</p>

Bakgrund: Förmaksflimmer är den vanligaste formen av hjärtrytmrubbning och förekommer hos 1-2% av befolkningen. Många upplever både oro och stress över sin sjukdom och att de saknar information och stöd för att hantera sin situation. Förmaksflimmer upplevs ofta ha negativ inverkan på patientens livskvalitet. Syfte: var att beskriva faktorer som påverkar livskvaliteten hos patienter med förmaksflimmer. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie genomfördes, baserad på 11 artiklar. Dessa kvalitetsgranskades med hjälp av Willman, Stoltz och Bahtsevanis (2011) instrument och analyserades med inspiration av Fribergs (2012) metod för analys. Resultat: Det som var mest framträdande avseende patienternas upplevelser av ökad livskvalitet var hanterbarhet, d.v.s att de accepterade sin diagnos och förstod symtom och dess effekter. Patienterna upplevde en minskad livskvalitet relaterat till begränsningar som upplevd oro, ångest och symtom av sitt förmaksflimmer. Sjuksköterskan har en viktig roll i omvårdnaden av patienter med förmaksflimmer och behöver vara tillgänglig för patientens omvårdnadsbehov. Slutsats: Livskvalitet hos patienter med förmaksflimmer påverkas av hur de hanterar eller känner sig begränsade av sin sjukdom. I arbetet som sjuksköterskor bör vi sträva efter att hjälpa patienterna till egenvård så de kan hantera sin sjukdom och minska begränsningarna i vardagen och på så vis uppnå ökad livskvalitet.
