Mötet med patienter med schizofreni utifrån sjuksköterskans perspektiv : En litteraturstudie / The meeting with patients with schizophrenia from the nurse`s perspective : A literature study

Background: Patients with schizophrenia often lack both self-knowledge and disease insight. They are frequently withdrawn, show less interest in their surroundings and have a slight social disability in handling their everyday life, all of which led to decreased capability of expressing their needs. The focus tends to be on the diagnosis and not the persons themselves. The nursing they get is often incomplete and is hence not patient centered. The imbalance in the relations between the nurse and the patient with schizophrenia increases the nurses’responsibility to achieve a good standard of nursing and a secure care for the patients. Aim:The purpose is to describe nurses’ experiences of meeting patients with schizophrenia admitted to inpatient psychiatric care. Method: General literature studies with a qualitative approach where the data was analyzed by thematic analysis. Results: Three themes wereidentified: the nurses’ personal treatment and approach, the nurses’ co-operation and relationsto the patient and the nurses experience and knowledge. Conclusion: The nurses’ experiences were that personal treatment and approach are essential to achieve a good standard of nursing. Lack of experience and knowledge were identified as barriers to achieve alliances and cooperation. Nurses expressed that lack of knowledge and adequate education negatively affected their views on patients with schizophrenia.
