Palliative care at home : The nurse's experiences of end of life care (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund:

Palliativ vård vid livets slutskede i hemmet blir allt vanligare då fler patienter väljer att dö i det egna hemmet. Patientens komplexa omvårdnadsbehov ställer höga krav på sjuksköterskan i hemsjukvården. Sjuksköterskans främsta uppgift i den palliativa vården är att lindra lidande hos både patient och närstående.

Syfte:

Syftet är att belysa sjuksköterskans erfarenheter av palliativ vård i hemmet vid livets slutskede.

Metod:

En systematisk litteraturstudie med en tematisk innehållsanalys enligt Bettany-Saltikov och McSherrys analysmetod har använts. Nio vetenskapliga artiklar med en kvalitativ ansats kvalitetsgranskades och valdes ut till studiens resultat.

Resultat:

Studiens resultat belyser sjuksköterskans upplevda erfarenheter av att vårda patienter i hemmet vid livets slutskede. Ett huvudtema, Att ombesörja palliativ vård och tre subteman, Att vara förberedd – en förutsättning för palliativ vård, Sjuksköterskans utmaningar och Att möta patient och närstående i livets slutskede framkom.

Slutsats:

Sjuksköterskans erfarenhet var att det fanns brister vid utskrivning från sjukhus och att samordning var viktigt i utformningen av den palliativa vården. Sjuksköterskan ansåg att ett nära samarbete med läkare var av vikt för att kunna tillgodose patientens medicinska behov av symtomlindring. Närståendes delaktighet var en förutsättning för att kunna uppfylla patientens önskan om att dö i hemmet. På grund av de utmaningar som den palliativa vården innebar belyste sjuksköterskans behov av stöd.
