Multi-resistant bacteria are a growing problem worldwide. In relation to the bacteria spreading, the proportion of patients with multi-resistant bacteria also increase. In nursing, the encounter is described as a central part and works to ensure that the patient can express their feelings. How the meeting takes place has a great impact on whether the patient experiences suffering or not. A professional approach and knowledge regarding patients experience of the encounter as well as communication, forms a basis for the nurse to be able to meet the patient's unique needs in the encounter. The aim of this study is to describe how patients with multi-resistant bacteria experience the encounter with healthcare. This is a literature study is based on analysis of qualitative studies. The ten articles that make up the work have been analysed using a fivestep model. This resulted in two main themes and five sub-themes, which describe the experience of the meeting. The results describe how the staff's hygiene routines, attitudes and knowledge affect how patients experience the encounter. It also highlights the impact of the isolation in which patients are cared for and the stigmatization that was experienced during the encounter. In summary, it showed that patients with multi-resistant bacteria are at risk of experiencing an encounter that is stigmatizing. Patients experienced feelings such as guilt and shame due to the healthcare staff´s routines and attitudes in the meeting.
