Sammanfattning

Bakgrund: Vård i livets slutskede är krävande för såväl familj som sjuksköterskor, men många sjuksköterskor erfar trots det att de får någonting tillbaka av att vårda de döende. Cancersjukdomar är vanligt och både överlevnaden och prognosen skiftar mycket beroende på vilken typ av cancer en person blir diagnostiserad med. Det är därmed viktigt att sjuksköterskor har kunskap och förståelse om grundläggande palliativ vård samt vård i livets slutskede för att kunna erbjuda den bästa vården för såväl patient som dennes anhöriga. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter i vårdandet av patienter med cancer i livets slutskede på sjukhus. Metod: Examenarbetet utgick enligt en systematisk litteraturstudie med beskrivande syntes. Resultat: Utifrån 11 artiklar analys framkom två tema: Etiska utmaningar i vårdandet och sjuksköterskans utveckling. Dessa innefattar fem subteman som beskriver sjuksköterskors erfarenheter att vårda i livets slutskede. Slutsatser: Det framkom att sjuksköterskor blir utmanade av känslomässig involvering med patienter, tidsbrist, mängden information sjuksköterskor bör ge sina patienter samt att kunna vara i ett existentiellt samtal. Sjuksköterskorna erfor att de har utvecklats mycket av att vårda patienter i livets slutskede, både personligt och professionellt. Däremot erfor sjuksköterskorna också att de saknade kunskap i att ge vård i livets slutskede. 

Abstract [en]

Background: To give care in the end of life is a demanding process for both family members and nurses, but the nurses experiences that in spite this, they gain a lot in return to care for the dying. Cancer is common and the survival and prognosis differs depending on what type of cancer a person is diagnosed with. It is therefore important for the nurse to have knowledge and understanding in basic palliative care and end-of-life care to be able to offer the very best care for both the patient and their family. Aim: This study describes the experiences that nurses have in the care of patients with cancer in end-of-life care in a hospital. Methods: A systematic literature study with descriptive synthesis was used. Results: After 11 articles were analyzed two themes emerged: Ethical challenges in caring and nurses’ development. These include five subthemes that describes the nurses experience in end-of-life care. Conclusions: Results showed that nurses were challenged by the emotional involvements with their patients, the lack of time, how much information to give their patients and how to be in existential conversations with their patients. The nurses experienced that they developed a lot by caring for patients in the end of life. However, the nurses experienced that they lacked knowledge in providing end-of-life care
