Självmord, eller suicid som det också kallas, är i vårt samhälle ett tabubelagt ämne där en känsla av utanförskap har belysts hos den suicidnära patienten som ibland upplever sin vård som otillräcklig. Syftet med följande studie är därför att belysa sjuksköterskans upplevelse av att vårda den suicidnära patienten och för att genomföra detta har en litteraturstudie genomförts på fyra kvalitativa- samt fem kvantitativa artiklar där resultatet visar att sjuksköterskans syn på patienten, på sig själv samt på sin kompetens i stor utsträckning påverkar patientens upplevelse av vårdandet. Vidare beskrivet är att sjuksköterskan tycks vara benägen att sätta etiketter på patienten där vissa grupper upplevs som svårare att vårda. Sjuksköterskan uppfattar vårdandet som tungt, då den vård som förmedlas inte upplevs ge önskad effekt. Eftersom relationen mellan sjuksköterskan och patienten är av stor vikt för att främja en framtida patienthälsa anses det att en bredare utbildning bör erhållas den grundutbildade sjuksköterskan för att underlätta förmågan att sätta sin förförståelse åt sidan och därmed öka förutsättningen för den psykiskt sjuka patienten. En minskad arbetsbelastning anses även vara av stor vikt då sjuksköterskan tycks uppleva en stress under sin arbetsdag där administrativa arbetsuppgifter tvingas ta utrymme framför patientkontakten. Psykisk sjukdom och ohälsa tros i framtiden utvecklas till den näst ledande folkhälsosjukdomen och ett preventivt arbete, där en vårdande relation sätts i fokus, anses i mötet med denna patientgrupp vara av ytterst vikt för att i framtiden minska antalet suicidförsök och fullbordad suicid vilket anses ge en hållbar utveckling av samhället. Abstract: Society tends to meet the suicidal patient with a lack of understanding. The general taboo nature of the subject, as well as feelings of alienation is factors that lead patients to perceive their healthcare as inadequate. The purpose of this study is therefor to survey the experiences of nurses in their meetings with suicidal patients and to this end the authors have carried out literary studies of four qualitative and five quantitative articles. The analysis of the studies led to the conclusion that the nurse's perception of the patient, herself and her own competence greatly affect the patients’ healthcare experience. Additionally, the studies show that nurses are inclined to perceive their work as difficult when treatment does not have the desired effect and thereby categorize the patients similarly. The relationship between nurse and patient is of great importance for successful healthcare and this study shows the need for a broader education to provide the nurse tools to manage her preconceived notions and thereby provide better conditions for the suicidal patient. Nurses, in their stressful work environment, are often forced to choose between administrative duties and patient contact which highlights the need for a decreased work load. Mental illness is believed to become the next largest public health threat and a preventative approach, with focus on the nurse-patient relationship is central to effectiveness of suicide prevention. / Program: Sjuksköterskeutbildning

Transcultural nursing refers to the provision of nursing care to patients whose values, beliefs and life-style differ from those of the nurse. To enable nurses to honour their ethical obligation to provide quality care, they must have the necessary knowledge to nurse patients across cultural boundaries. This study was conducted to determine the nurse's knowledge of and attitudes towards the culturally different patient. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. Although nurses see it as a challenge to nurse patients from different cultures, it was found that they do not have the necessary knowledge to provide culture-sensitive care. Other factors, such as the nurse's attitude towards culturally different patients, communication problems, mistrust, prejudice and a lack of understanding of cultural uses and traditions, contribute to the lack of culture-sensitive care. The nursing profession should pay attention to these problems. / Health Studies / Van Tonder, Sally / M.A. (Nursing)
