thesis report submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the Degree of Masters in Nursing Science Johannesburg, 2014 / Shortage of human resources is a major problem which has become an international emergency that in recent years has caused substantial international attention and concern. Mid-level medical workers were introduced internationally, in Africa and recently in South Africa as a strategy to overcome health workforce challenges and improve access to essential health services, as well as achieve the health related targets of the Millennium Development Goals. Mid-level workers in South Africa are called Clinical Associates. The aim of the study was to explore and describe the PHC nurses’ perception of the Clinical Associate role. A qualitative, contextual, exploratory and descriptive design was used to explore and describe the PHC nurses’ opinions and thoughts concerning the role the clinical associates would play in the health care system; and to obtain an understanding of how the PHCNs see the feasibility of working with these newly introduced health workers. A purposive convenient sampling was used to select participants who were most likely to offer information required in the study. The study findings show that PHC nurses had insufficient knowledge regarding who Clinical Associates are and what their role is. Although to some extend the PHC nurses acknowledged the important role the Clinical Associates would play, the PHC nurses expressed more concern related to their professional status. The concerns included matters like: who would be senior between the Clinical Associate and the PHC nurses taking into consideration the level of education and training of Clinical Associates versus that of nurses; who would take orders from whom between Clinical Associates and PHC nurses. Another worry was the possibility of clinical associates taking over the PHC nurses roles.

Bakgrund: Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) är en vägledning för att vårda patienter i livets slutskede. Den är framtagen i syfte att överföra den palliativa modellen av vård till annan vårdkontext. LCP ger vägledning i kommunikation inom det multiprofessionella teamet, med anhöriga och med patienten som är döende. LCP utgör en guide för läkare om att förskriva läkemedel mot de vanligaste symtomen som kan uppträda i livets slut, för att förbättra symtomhanteringen.  LCP används idag i Sverige på flera håll inom olika ramar av vårdinrättningar. Syfte: Syftet var med denna litteraturöversikt att ur ett sjuksköterskeperspektiv beskriva vård i livets slutskede med tillämpning av Liverpool Care Pathway på akutvårdsavdelningar. Metod: Litteraturöversikt är ett examensarbete som grundar sig på nio vetenskapliga artiklar. De är utformade utefter en kvalitativ design och söktes från databaserna: PubMed, Cinhal, Medline och ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source. Datamaterialet har sedan analyserats och strukturerats upp samt sammanställts till ett resultat. Artiklarna är baserade på studier utförda i England, Nya Zealand och Italien. Resultat: Utifrån de valda vetenskapliga artiklarna identifierades sex olika huvudteman. Dessa var: kommunikation, dokumentation, medicinska riktlinjer och vård, ökat självförtroende, förbättrad vård och ökad kontinuitet av vård i livets slut. Diskussion:Artiklarnas relevans har diskuterats i relation till Sverige eftersom ingen av dem var gjord i Sverige. De huvudteman som identifierats diskuterades i förhållande till tidigare forskning och mot Erikssons definitioner av lidande och vårdande. / Background: The Liverpool Care Pathway is a guidance of care for the dying patient. It was created to transfer the hospice model of care into other hospital settings. LCP provides a pathway in communication within the multidisciplinary team, with relatives and the dying patient. LCP gives guidance for doctors to prescribe medication for the most common symptoms that can appear in the dying phase to improve symptom management. LCP is today used in several places in Sweden within different frameworks of medical facilities. Aim: The aim was to illustrate the use of Liverpool Care Pathway in an acute hospital setting from a nurse perspective. Methods: This essay is a systematic literature review and the data was based on nine articles of published research. The published articles were found in four different databases. These were: Pubmed, Chinhal, Medline and ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source. The data was then analyzed and structured into different main themes, and was then compiled into a result. The articles were based on studies made in England, New Zealand and Italy. Results: When analyzing the articles six different main themes emerged. These were: communication, documentation, increased self-confidents, medical guidelines and care, improved end-of-life care and improved continuity in the care of the dying. Discussion: The studies relevance to Sweden was discussed because none of them had been made in Sweden. The main themes were related to previous research and to Katie Eriksson's concept of suffering and care.

Inom arbetet på en akutmottagning utsätts sjuksköterskor regelbundet för traumatiska händelser. Detta kan påverka både den psykiska och fysiska hälsan negativt samt även påverka kvalitén på vården. Psykosociala arbetsmiljöbelastningar förekommer i hög grad och sjuksköterskor inom akutsjukvård är högrepresenterade inom sjukskrivningsstatistiken i Sverige. Att arbeta nära svårt sjuka patienter som genomgår svåra psykiska trauman kan påverka sjuksköterskan negativt och en akut sekundär stress kan uppstå. Sekundär traumatisk stress (STS) och posttraumatiskt stressyndrom (PTSD) är två former av ångestsyndrom som kan uppkomma efter att individer upplever, deltar eller bevittnar en emotionell traumatisk händelse. Forskning visas på förekomsten av både STS och PTSD-symtom hos sjuksköterskor som arbetar på akutmottagningar vilket skulle kunna vara relaterat till prevalensen av traumatiska händelser. Avlastande samtal och psykologisk debriefing är exempel på två former av strukturerade samtal som visat sig effektivt som stöd efter traumatiska händelser för sjuksköterskor. Syftet med studien var att undersöka sjuksköterskors psykologiska reaktioner och behov efter traumatisk händelse i arbete på akutmottagning. Detta med inriktning på avlastande samtal och psykologisk debriefing och vilka hinder som finns för genomförande i verksamheten. Metoden som använts var av kvalitativ design. Datainsamlingen skedde via fysiska, semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio sjuksköterskor som var yrkesverksamma på två akutmottagningar i Mellansverige. Resultatet analyserades genom latent innehållsanalys. Resultatet presenterades i tre teman med åtta underteman. De teman som framkom var: Individen, Behov och Organisation. Den personliga och professionella erfarenheten upplevdes ha betydelse för hur sjuksköterskor reagerar på samt hanterar traumatiska händelser. Detta påverkade i sin tur det upplevda behovet av stöd. Även socialt stöd i form av kollegor och vänner var komponenter som påverkade upplevelsen av behovet. Majoriteten av sjuksköterskorna upplevde ett behov av strukturerat samtal så som avlastande samtal efter traumatisk händelse, främst med inriktning på fakta och bekräftelse kring händelsen. Organisatoriska hinder försvårade möjligheten till avlastande samtal och psykologisk debriefing. Slutsatsen var att behovet av stöd i form av avlastande samtal och psykologisk debriefing efter traumatisk händelse på akutmottagning var en individuell upplevelse som påverkades av en rad olika faktorer. Sjuksköterskan som individ har olika behov av samtalsstöd efter traumatisk händelse baserat på tidigare privata och professionella erfarenheter. Fakta och bekräftelse kring händelsen framträdde som viktiga för att lättare kunna hantera och bearbeta traumatiska händelser. De flesta informanter upplevde ett behov av strukturerat samtal efter en traumatisk händelse och majoriteten av sjuksköterskorna upplevde att det generella behovet av samtal efter en svår händelse var stort. Strukturen i avlastande samtal tilltalade informanterna mer jämfört med strukturen i psykologisk debriefing som upplevdes för komplex. Studien belyser ett behov hos sjuksköterskorna som organisationen inte möjliggör då det förekommer brister i form av tid, resurser, ledarskap och rutiner. / In the work at an emergency department, nurses are regularly exposed to traumatic events. This can adversely affect both mental and physical health and affect the quality of care. Psychosocial work environment loads occur to a large extent, and nurses in emergency health care are highly represented in the sick leave statistics in Sweden. Working close to severely ill patients who undergo severe psychological trauma can adversely affect the nurse and an acute secondary stress can occur. Secondary traumatic stress (STS) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are two forms of anxiety disorder that can occur after individuals experience, participate or witness an emotional traumatic event. Research is shown on the presence of both STS and PTSD symptoms in nurses working at emergency clinics which could be related to the prevalence of traumatic events. Defusing and psychological debriefing are examples of two forms of structured conversation that’s been proved effective as support for traumatic events for nurses. The aim of the study was to investigate the emergency department nurses' psychological reactions and needs after a traumatic event. This with a focus on defusing and psychological debriefing and what barriers that may exist for implementation in the working environment. The method used was of qualitative design. The data was collected through physical, semi-structured interviews with nine nurses who were working at two emergency departments in central Sweden. The data was analyzed by latent content analysis. The result was presented in three themes with eight sub-themes. The emerged themes were: The Individual, Needs and Organization. The personal and professional experience felt to be of importance for how nurses react to and handle traumatic events. This affected the perceived need for support. Also, social support such as colleagues and friends were components that influenced the experienced need. Most of the nurses experienced a need for structured conversations such as defusing after a traumatic event, mainly focusing on facts and confirmation of the event. Organizational barriers obstructed the possibility of defusing and psychological debriefing. The conclusion was that the need for support such as defusing and psychological debriefing after traumatic event in work at emergency department was an individual experience impacted by numerous various factors. The nurse as individual has various needs of support conversations after a traumatic event based on earlier private and professional experiences. Facts and confirmations about the event appeared to be important in order to be able to handle and process traumatic events more easily. Most of the nurses experienced that the general need for conversations after a traumatic event was substantial. The structure of defusing was more appealing to the informants compared to the structure of psychological debriefing, as it was regarded as too complex. The study illustrates a need of the nurses that the organization fail to meet. Deficiencies in time, resources, leadership and routines emerge.

Background: Getting admitted to CCU is viewed as a stressful event by patients. However, numerous studies have indicated that nurses do not always accurately perceive the stressors of their clients. Therefore, it is important for nurses to know what seems most stressful from the patients‘ perspective so that appropriate nursing measures can be directed towards minimizing such stressors. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the perception of CCU stressors experienced by patients from both patients and nurses perspective and to compare between them, identify the effect of socio-demographic characteristics of participant's on the level of stress perception and to what extent clinical guidelines fulfil CCU needs. Methodology: A mixed method approach (qualitative and quantitative) was applied. Purposive random sampling was used to recruit data. Ethical approval was obtained prior to data collection. Data was collected from three CCUs within the West and Northwest NHS Trusts. Participants who met the inclusion criteria were interviewed and asked to rank the Environmental Stressor Questionnaire (ESQ). Qualitative data was analyzed using Gorgi's method of analysis. A quantitative data was analyzed using the SPSS software version 15. Results: There was some consistency in the data where patients and nurses provided same ranking for CCU stressors. Consistently nurses ranked physiological stressors higher than psychological stressors. Patients showed consistency in the findings between what they ranked in the ESQ and their narratives more than their counterparts. Perception of stress was affected by participant's socio-demographic characteristics. A key finding is that the current guidelines do not serve patients and nurses needs. Conclusions: Nurses should be well equipped with knowledge and experience to overcome stressful situations. Educational programs should be made available for nurses to improve stress management. Nurses should assess patient's needs by applying effectively communication skills.

Bakgrund: Varje år dör det mellan 90 000 till 100 000 människor i Sverige, majoriteten av dessa vårdas palliativt. Den palliativa vården har främst fokus på symtomlindring och förbättring av patientens livskvalitet. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva sjuksköterskans erfarenheter av att vårda patienter i livets slutskede samt att beskriva vilken datainsamlingsmetod som användes i de inkluderade artiklarna. Metod: En deskriptiv litteraturstudie. Studien baserades på 14 kvalitativa artiklar som hittades genom sökningar i databaserna PubMed och Cinahl. Huvudresultat: Sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att visa respekt för både patienten och deras närstående bidrog till en bättre relation samt ett ökat förtroende. Sjuksköterskor erfor att det palliativa vårdandet kunde vara psykiskt påfrestande men genom stöd från arbetsgivaren och kollegor kunde detta underlättas. Kraven från anhöriga på sjuksköterskan skapade en känsla av maktlöshet, stress och press. Sjuksköterskor från kirurgiska och onkologiska avdelningar erfor att det fanns en kunskapsbrist gällande den palliativa vården och kommunikation. Enligt sjuksköterskorna fungerade samarbetet med läkare dåligt vilket ledde till stress. Datainsamlingsmetoderna som de inkluderade artiklarna i studien var intervjuer och fokusgruppsintervjuer. Slutsatser: Sjuksköterskor beskrev en kunskapsbrist inom den palliativa vården samt svårigheter av att kommunicera med patienter och dess anhöriga. Genom att erbjuda utbildningar inom palliativ vård och kommunikation kan det bidra till att sjuksköterskan känner sig tryggare och kan växa i sin roll samt att samarbetet med läkare förbättras. / Background: Every year between 90 000 and 100 000 people dies in Sweden, the majority of these were cared in palliative care. The palliative care primarily focus on relief of symptoms and improvement of patient's quality of life. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe nurse’s experiences of caring for patients in the final stages of life and to describe the data collection method that was used in the included articles. Method: A descriptive literature study. The study was based on 14 qualitative articles found through searches in the databases PubMed and Cinahl. Main Results: Nurses experiences of showing respect for both patients and their relatives contributed to a better relation and trust. Nurses experienced that the palliative caring could be mentally burdened, but through support from colleagues the burden could be reduced. The demands from relatives could create a feeling of stress. Nurses on surgical and oncological ward experienced a lack of knowledge when it came to palliative care and communication. According to the nurses, communication between nurses and doctors didn't work well and were a source of stress. Data collection method in the included articles were interviews and focusgroup interviews. Conclusions: Nurses described a lack of knowledge within the palliative care and difficulties communicating with patients and their relatives. Education within palliative care and communication could contribute to nurses feeling more confident and allow them to grow in their role and improve the collaboration with doctors.

Este é um estudo situado dentro da abordagem qualitativa, que teve como intuito partir para uma ?viagem? nos territórios da gestão e do cuidado. Questionamentos circundaram o momento de escrita acerca da formação e do trabalho do enfermeiro no contexto hospitalar, tendo como pano de fundo os princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Questiona-se: no contexto hospitalar, o atos cuidadores do enfermeiro estão centrados nas demandas dos usuários, como um elemento articulador de saberes e práticas, tendo em vista as propostas de integralidade e humanização? O objetivo delineado foi cartografar os atos cuidadores do enfermeiro no contexto hospitalar, analisando as linhas postas em ação e as superfícies predominantes, com suas potências e resistências, para a produção da vida. Buscou-se tônus teórico às inquietações postas, com a construção um mapa conceitual que abordasse o cuidado, a gestão do cuidado e as implicações do hospital com a temática, sendo possível, lançar mão de uma trama conceitual, com destaque aqui para alguns conceitos pertencentes à esquizoanálise, à saúde coletiva e outros referentes a área da enfermagem. No segundo momento da construção do mapa, realizou-se a desnaturalização das práticas de cuidado, fazendo uso da Genealogia Foucaultiana, culminando com a criação de quatro configurações das práticas de cuidado, objetivando desbloquear o tempo histórico para que, através de uma problematização de objetos tidos, como evidentes, se pudesse ressignificar o presente. As estratégias de produção do conhecimento constituíram-se de dois momentos: a utilização da Genealogia Foucaultiana, que possibilitou parte da construção do mapa conceitual. No segundo momento, realizou-se uma cartografia dos atos cuidadores do enfermeiro no contexto hospitalar. Selecionou-se uma unidade de internação de um hospital filantrópico, que presta atendimento a usuários do SUS. Efetuaram 62 horas de observações focadas no trabalho dos enfermeiros nos turnos da manhã e da tarde, que foram registradas em um Diário de Bordo. Fragmentos do Diário foram postos ao lado de escritos teóricos, poemas, lembranças, dialogando com o mapa conceitual, fazendo-se uma espécie de bricolagem. No território das práticas, visualizou-se a formação de dois micro-territórios: Máquina Paranóia e Máquina Desejo. A Maquina Paranóia caracterizou-se por modos instituídos, capturados pelo tempo, pelas regras, rotinas com tendências castradoras e antiprodutivas, pelo trabalho fragmentado, que fragmenta o paciente e pela paranóia do não-saber-poder. Os atos cuidadores dos enfermeiros revelaram a produção de cuidado, cortada por linhas de segmentaridade dura e circulares, configurando-se, muitas vezes, em um descuidado, esfriando os corpos cuidados, transformando os pacientes em uma ?carga?, não possibilitando a construção de sua autonomia. Detectou-se que a gestão estava focada no procedimento, não sendo o usuário um marcador do cuidado. A Maquina Desejo revelou potências nos atos cuidadores, permeada pela escuta/acolhimento e pelas tentativas de transversalizar a equipe de saúde, sendo a gestão uma estratégia para a produção do cuidado, cortado por linhas de fuga. Condiserou-se a necessidade de os enfermeiros e docentes (re)pensarem conceitos, buscando um diálogo mais efetivo com as práticas cotidianas hospitalares, em prol do fortalecimento do SUS. Dessa forma, uma das estratégias visualizadas é a possibilidade de criação de espaços coletivos de análise e reflexões acerca do processo de trabalho em saúde e do modelo de gestão hospitalar. O ensino, por sua vez, necessita ser refletido, no que se refere a utilização de conceitos/ferramentas que produzam impacto no trabalho cotidiano do enfermeiro ante as demandas dos usuários, no aspecto individual e coletivo, da equipe de saúde e do próprio serviço de saúde, libertando-se da amarras que reforçam a hegemonia e a subserviência. / management. Questions about the nurse\'s learning and duty in the context of health care were also included, having as scenary the principles of the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) ? the Brazilian public health care service. It was inquired if the nurse\'s care giving practices were centered in the patients\' needs, if they were acting as articulators of both knowledge and practice, having in sight the integrality and humanization proposals. The design objective was: to cartografh the nurse\'s care giving practices, in the hospital context, analizing the lines put into practice and the prevailing surfaces, with their power and resistence to produce life. Theoretical sustenance to inquietude was searched, drawing a conceptual map, broaching care menagement as well as the hospital implications towards the theme, keeping hand in a conceptual plot ? esquizoanalysis concepts and collective health mainly. At the second moment of drawing the map, denaturalization of care giving was carried out by using the Foucaultian Genealogy, creating four care-giving-practice configurations, aiming to unblock historical time for the redefinition of present time through what was considered evidence. The strategies for knowledge production were obtained in two parts: first, the utilization of the Foucaultian Genealogy to construct part of the conceptual map; second, a cartography of the nurse\'s every day chores, in the hospital context, was outlined. A 62-hour observation was performed in a clinical surgical hospitalization unit which served beneficiaries of the SUS. The nurse\'s work process, observed during the morning and afternoon shifts, was recorded in a Log Book. Fragments of the Log Book were placed next to theoretical texts, poems, memories, turning into a dialogue between these writings and the conceptual map. A type of craftsmanship work was done. In the practice territory, two micro territories were uncovered: that of Paranoia Machine and that of Desire Machine. The Paranoia Machine is characterized by instituted methods that had been captured by time, rules, routines with castrating and antiproductive tendencies, by fragmented work, and by the non-knowledge-power paranoia. The nurse\'s care giving practices revealed a care production marked by hard and circular segmentarity lines, configured many times into careless acts, cooling the cared bodies, turning the patients into a ?burden?, not giving them chance, this way, to construct their autonomy. It was detected that the care management was focused on the procedure itself, with the beneficiary being not a care giving marker. The Desire Machine revealed a power for the care giving practices, permeated with listening and hospitality, managing as a strategy for care production traversed by escape lines. The nurse\'s needs were considered; lecturers rethought concepts, searching for a more effective dialogue with the hospital practices for the strenghtening of the SUS. One of the visualized strategies was the possibility of creating collective spaces for the analysis of the work process on health care, and of the hospital managing pattern. The teaching must rethink of the utilization of tool/concepts that are able to produce an impact on the nurse\'s work in face of the beneficiary\'s individual and/or collective needs, of the health staff, and of the health care service itself, becoming released from the bondaries that reinforce hegemony and subservience.

Bakgrund: Enligt socialstyrelsens rekommendationer ska smärtskattning göras i livets slutskede. Bristande smärtlindring vid livets slutskede är inget någon vill uppleva. Om distriktssköterskan har en bra rutin för att smärtskatta med smärtskattningsinstrument ger det en kvalitésäkring för de palliativa patienterna. Syfte: Att beskriva distriktssköterskors erfarenhet av smärtskattning hos palliativa patienter. Metod: En kvalitativ empirisk studie med deskriptiv design. Resultat: Tre kategorier framkom vid analysen; organisationens inflytande, metoder för smärtskattning av palliativa patienter, organisationens betydelse för kvalitetsförbättring med underliggande subkategorier. I studien framkom att distriktsköterskorna saknade rutiner för smärtskattning. Distriktsköterskorna smärtskattade utifrån sin kliniska blick, erfarenhet och smärtskattningsinstrument. Distriktssköterskorna var medvetna om att smärta ska bedömas enligt smärtskattningsinstrument men instrumenten och dokumentationen av dem, glömdes ibland bort trots att det hade använts. Distriktsköterskorna framhöll att smärtskattning med instrument kan bli bättre genom utbildning i instrumenten och rutiner i smärtskattning. Slutsats: För distriktssköterskor skulle det underlättas med tydliga rutiner om vilka smärtskattningsinstrument som bör användas i specifika situationer. Utbildning efterfrågas i smärta och skattningsinstrumenten för att få till frekvent användning av smärtskattningsinstrument. / Background: According to the recommendations of the National Board of Health, pain estimation should be made in the end of life. Lack of pain relief at the end of life is no one wants to experience. If the district nurse has a good routine for pain assessment instruments, it provides a quality assurance for the palliative patients. Aim: To describe district nurses' experiences of pain estimation in palliative patients. Method: A qualitative empirical study with descriptive design. Result: Three categories emerged from the analysis; the organization's influence, methods for pain estimation of palliative patients, the organization's importance for quality improvement with underlying subcategories. The study showed that district nurses lacked routines for pain estimation. District nurses pain assessment based on their clinical gaze, experience and pain assessment tools. The district nurses were aware of that pain should be assessed according to pain estimation instruments, but the instruments and their documentation were sometimes forgotten even though it had been used. District nurses believe that pain estimation with instruments can be improved through training in the instruments and routines of pain estimation. Conclusion: For district nurses, it would be easier with clear routines on which pain assessment instruments should be used in specific situations. Education is demanded in pain and the assessment tools to bring about frequent use of pain assessment instruments.
