The nurse' experience of giving care to children in home care (English)
Abstract [sv]
Bakgrund;
Som sjuksköterska inom kommunal hemsjukvård skall du i dag besitta de kunskaper som krävs för att kunna tillgodose patienter med en god och säker vård oavsett ålder. Allt fler sjuka barn vårdas i dag i hemmet med hjälp av hemsjukvården och antalet tros i framtiden öka. Det finns i dag ingen svensk forskning inom ämnet. Hur är sjuksköterskornas upplevelse av att vårda barn i hemmet?
Syfte;
Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka sjuksköterskans upplevelse av att vårda barn i hemmet.
Metod; En intervjustudie genomfördes med åtta sjuksköterskor som arbetade inom hemsjukvården i fyra olika kommuner i västra Sverige. Textmaterialet från intervjuerna analyserades i sin helhet med hjälp av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys.
Resultat;
Analysen resulterade i tre kategorier och sju underkategorier samt ett tema. Följande kategorier framkom: Att känna sig otillräcklig, Att se den enskilda familjens behov, Att vara engagerad. Temat som framkom var betungande men givande
Konklusion;
Sjuksköterskorna kände sig otillräckliga att vårda barn i hemmet då de upplevde brist på kunskap och erfarenhet av att vårda barn. De upplevde även att familjen hade en stor och viktig roll vid vård av barn i hemmet och att det var viktigt att vara engagerad.
