Caring for people with dementia : A literature-based study of nurses' experiences of conditions for good dementia care (English)
Abstract [en]
Background: Today 130,000-150,000 people live with dementia in Sweden. A cure for dementia disease does not exist, but you can relieve symptoms with nursing and adequate care. The nurse has a responsibility to meet the patient's needs and assist them in living a life as normal as possible. To be able to give the right care, the nurse needs to have accurate knowledge and skills about dementia and dealing with disease.
Aim: The purpose of the study is to describe nurses' experience of dementia care.
Method: A literature-based study was executed. Ten qualitative articles were analysed in five steps according to Friberg's five-step analysis.
Results: Three main themes and eight subthemes appeared through the analysis. The first main theme is barriers to good care for people with dementia. The second main theme is conditions to good dementia care and the third main theme is the influence of the environment for good dementia care.
Conclusion: The result shows that knowledge and time is required to provide proper care. The partnership with the patient also matters as well as the environment. Nurses need more knowledge and continuous education about the disease dementia and how it turns out to provide good and safe care.
