Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Tidigare forskning visar att patienter uttrycker ett behov av att sjuksköterskor är tillgängliga och stöttar dem under deras svåra tid vid palliativ vård i livets slutskede. Det framgår även att anhöriga upplever att de får ta en stor roll i vårdandet av patienter och är därför i behov av att sjuksköterskor bekräftar dem samt är stöttande. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser inom palliativ vård i livets slutskede. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie med en beskrivande syntes. Tolv kvalitativa artiklar analyserades och är presenterade i examensarbetets resultat. Resultat: Efter analys framkom två teman: Upplevelsen av att bli involverad och Uppleva hinder för god palliativ vård. Utifrån dessa två teman identifierades totalt fyra subtema. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor som arbetade nära patienter som erhöll palliativ vård i livets slutskede upplevde att de blev berörda samt ville lindra patienters lidande. Begränsad tid skapade frustration och en hjälplöshet hos sjuksköterskor. När den egna kunskapen brister av att arbeta inom palliativ vård i livets slutskede uppkom en osäkerhet hos sjuksköterskor, av att inte kunna hjälpa patienter och deras anhöriga tillräckligt mycket. Genom sina möten med patienter uttryckte sjuksköterskor en tacksamhet över livet och insåg hur skört det är, vilket skapade reflektion kring döden.

Abstract [en]

Background: Previous research has shown that patients express a need for nurses to be available and support them during their difficult time in end-of-life palliative care. It also appears that relatives feel that they get to play an important role in the care of the patient and are therefore in need of nurses’ validation and support. Aim: To describe nurses' experiences in palliative care at the end of life. Method: A systematic literature study with a descriptive synthesis. Twelve qualitative articles were analyzed and are presented in the results. Results: After analysis, two themes emerged: The experience of becoming involved and experiencing obstacles to good palliative care. From these two themes, a total of four subthemes were identified. Conclusion: Nurses who worked close to patients who received palliative care at the end of life felt affected for them and wanted to alleviate the patients suffering. Limited time led to frustration and a sense of helplessness among the nurses. Those who lacked experience working in palliative care at the end of life, were uncertain if they provided sufficient help to the patients and their relatives. Their encounters with patients gave the nurses an appreciation for life and how fragile it is, which led to reflections on death
