Att separeras från livet : Patienters upplevelser av existentiellt lidande i palliativt skede - En litteraturstudie / To be separated from life. : Patients experiences of existential suffering in the palliative phase - A literature studyGranström, Frida January 2014 (has links)
Background: Living with an incurable disease means facing existential challenges that the person must relate to. Being in a palliative phase also means that the person undergoes a lot of changes which often causes suffering. Suffering in palliative care is seen as multidimensional, something that affects the whole person, which is why a holistic view is a central part of palliative care. Aim: The aim of this literature study was to describe patient's experiences of existential suffering in the palliative phase. Method: A literature study based on ten qualitative articles. Results: Four main themes were found; experiences of a changed life-situation, experiences of loneliness, experiences of meaningless and experiences of loss. Conclusion: The study shows, from an existential point of view that coping and handling with an imminent death is complex and difficult in several ways. Patients in palliative care are a vulnerable patient group whose existential suffering may be enhanced by the way health professionals provide care. The study also shows a need for further research in this area aiming to support health care professionals to alleviate existential suffering.

Hur patienter med psykisk sjukdom upplever att bli vårdad i den somatiska vården : En litteraturöversikt / How patients with mental illness experience being cared for in the somatic care : A literature reviewEliasson, Anna, Höglund, Louise January 2016 (has links)
Bakgrund: I den somatiska vården finns det patienter med psykiska sjukdomar. De vanligaste psykiska sjukdomarna är schizofreni, psykoser, depression, ångestsyndrom och bipolära sjukdomar. Behovet av somatisk vård är större för patienter med psykiska sjukdomar än de utan, på grund av ökad risk för somatiska sjukdomar. Patienter upplevde att vardagslivet påverkas av de psykiska sjukdomarna. Vårdpersonal upplevde en osäkerhet och rädsla inför denna patientgrupp. Syfte: Att beskriva hur patienter med psykisk sjukdom upplever att bli vårdad i den somatiska vården. Metod: Litteraturöversikten baserades på 13 vetenskapliga artiklar. Dessa artiklar hämtades från CINAHL Complete och Pubmed. De huvudsakliga sökorden bestod av: mental illness, mental health, healthcare experience, patients’ experience, physical illness, primary care, communication och physical care. Resultat: Fyra teman utformades i resultatet. Ett tema var upplevelser av att bli stämplad av sjukvården på grund av den psykiska sjukdomen och det gjorde att patienterna kände sig bortprioriterade. När de kände sig stämplade upplevde de känslor av skam och maktlöshet. Ett tema var upplevelser att inte bli trodd som handlade om att fysiska symtom inte blir tagna på allvar. Det tredje temat var hur upplevelser om bristande kunskap hos vårdpersonal om psykiska sjukdomar påverkade vården. Detta upplevde patienter ledde till brist på information och delaktighet. Positiva erfarenheter och önskemål var det sista temat som visades i form av upplevelser av en personcentrerad vård, då vårdpersonal visade empati. Diskussion: Valda delar i resultatet diskuterades utifrån Katie Erikssons teori om att lindra lidande. Centrala begrepp inom teorin som användes var vårdlidande och konsensusbegreppet människan. / Background: In the somatic care, there are patients with mental illnesses. The most common mental illnesses are schizophrenia, psychoses, depression, anxiety disorders and bipolar disorders. The need for somatic care is bigger for patients with mental illnesses than those without, because of an increased risk of getting a somatic disease. Patients were experiencing that their daily life was affected by the mental illness. Healthcare professionals experienced uncertainty and fear of treating these patients. Aim: To describe how patients with mental illness are experiencing to be cared in the somatic care. Method: The literature review consisted of 13 scientific articles. These articles were found in the databases CINAHL Complete and PubMed. Main search words consisted of: mental illness, mental health, healthcare experience, patients experience, physical illness, primary care, communication and physical care. Results: Four themes were formed in the result. One theme was the experience of being labeled because of the metal illnesses and that made the patients feel not prioritized. When they felt labeled, they experienced feelings of shame and powerlessness. One theme was the experiences of not being believed and included patients experience that symptoms were not taken seriously. The third theme was how the experience of a lack of knowledge among health professionals about mental illnesses affected the care. Patiens experienced that it led to lack of information and participation. Positive experiences and desires were the last theme that appeared in form of experiences of a person centred care, when health professionals showed empathy. Discussion: Based on Katie Eriksson´s theory about relieving suffering, chosen parts from the results were discussed. The key concepts in the theory that were used were care suffering and the consensus concept human.

Bakgrund: Palliativ vård inleds när sjukdom inte är kurativ längre och fokus flyttas tillatt lindra lidande och främja patientens livskvalitet. Cancerrelaterad fatigue[CRF] är ett av de vanligaste symtomen vid cancerbehandling ochcancersjukdom och beskrivs som en oroande, ihållande, subjektiv känsla avtrötthet eller utmattning som inte står i proportion till den senaste tidensaktivitet och stör den vanliga funktionen. För att identifiera CRF beskrivskrävas en ordentlig anamnes, fysisk undersökning, uteslutning av andrabehandlingsbara faktorer och användning av mätverktyg valida förändamålet. I kompetensbeskrivningen för sjuksköterskan inom specialiseradpalliativ vård beskrivs att sjuksköterskan ska kunna uppmärksamma symtomhos patient som baseras på komplexa tillstånd och tidigt kunna identifiera,bedöma, planera och utföra evidensbaserad vård utifrån detta. Syfte: Patienters upplevelser av cancerrelaterad fatigue i ett palliativ skede. Metod: Litteraturöversikt över 13 kvalitativa och 4 kvantitativa artiklar somanalyserades med Whittemore & Knalfs integrativa metod. Resultat: I resultatet framkom det tre olika huvudkategorier som beskrev olikadimensioner av patientens upplevelse av CRF. Fysiska symtom och förlustav kontroll, psykisk och emotionell påverkan och patientens strategier för atthantera CRF. Slutsats: CRF är ett komplext symtom som kräver noggrann utredning. Om symtometinte identifieras kan ett onödigt lidande skapas för patienten. Användning avvalida mätverktyg för att identifiera CRF och skapa möjlighet för patientenatt få samtala och få information gällande CRF ses vara behov patienten harfrån sjuksköterskan, specialistsjuksköterskan och sjukvården. / Background: Palliative care is initiated when illness no longer is curative and the focus isshifted to alleviating suffering and promoting the patient’s quality of life. Cancer-related fatigue [CRF] is one of the most common symptoms of cancer treatment and cancer and is described as a disturbing, persistent, subjective feeling of fatigue or exhaustion that is disproportionate to recentactivity and disrupts normal function.

Att vara vaken under operation i regional anestesi : Från patienters upplevelser till en vårdande modellKarlsson, Ann-Christin January 2013 (has links)
Aim: The overall aim of the thesis was to describe the experiences of awake patients during surgery under regional anesthesia. In addition, the aim was to develop a model for intraoperative care that can support and enhance patients’ well-being during the intraoperative period. Methods: Study I was a patient interview study guided by a reflective lifeworld approach. In study II a philosophical reflection of the findings from study I was carried out. In study III a hermeneutic approach inspired by Ricoeur and Gadamer was used in order to interpret video recorded material. In study IV a hermeneutic approach inspired by Gadamer was used to synthesize the findings in studies I-III transformed into an intraoperative caring model. Overall main findings: The analysis shows that being awake during surgery can be compared with walking a tightrope because of ambiguous feelings. The proximity and presence of the nurse anesthetist (NA) anchors the patient in the present and strengthens the patient’s feeling of trust. The temporary disruption in the relationship between the body and the world due to regional anesthesia means that the patient’s being in the world is exposed to revolutionary experiences. Gaps between the patient’s experiences and the situation can be bridged over when the NA acts as the patient’s bodily extension and links the patient as a subject to the world in the intraoperative situation. From the patient’s perspective this calls for the NA’s proximity and genuine presence in the ‘intraoperative caring space’. When the NA’s performance of his/her professional duties clashes with the patient’s existential being in the intraoperative situation the need of present presence from the NA is crucial. Conclusions: The findings contribute to knowledge development about intraoperative care and raise awareness that care for the awake patient cannot be performed on formal routines that might disregard the uniqueness of each patient’s situation. The model can be used as a tool to encounter awake patients’ existential needs in the intraoperative situation and to further enlighten NAs about the possible impact of their proximity, interaction and communication behavior in the delivery of intraoperative nursing care.
