To give life : The donors experience of a kidney donation (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Det är mer fördelaktigt att en organdonation sker med levande donator istället för avliden donator, då det är lägre risk för avstötning. Det är många som väntar på att få en njure vilket gör att levande donation blir allt vanligare. I Sverige genomfördes 147 levande njurdonationer år 2019. Njurdonation ökar vilket leder till ökat behov av kunskap och förståelse hos sjuksköterskan. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa donatorns upplevelser i samband med njurdonation. Metod: Studien genomfördes via en litteraturstudie, där 12 vetenskapliga artiklar granskades och analyserades från två databaser. Resultat: Resultatet består av tre teman och sju subkategorier. Temat Kommunikation med subkategorierna upplevelsen av kommunikation med vårdpersonal och anknytning till mottagaren, temat upplevda känslor med subkategorierna oro, glädje och hopp, temat upplevelsen av stöd med subkategorierna socialt stöd och ekonomiskt stöd. Slutsatser: Upplevelserna hos donatorerna var individuella, genomgående var upplevelsen av bristande kommunikation och oro. Bristen på kommunikation indikerar till ett ökat kunskapsbehov hos sjuksköterskor för att göra donationsupplevelsen bra.

Abstract [en]

Background: It is more advantageous that a organdonation to take place with a living donor instead of a deceased donor, as there is a lower risk of rejection. There are many waiting for a new kidney, thus living donations are becoming more frequent. In 2019 there were 147 living kidney donations in Sweden. Because of the increase in kidney donations, the nurses are in need of more knowledge and understanding of the whole procedure. Aim: The aim was to give an account of the donor’s experience throughout the process of donating a kidney. Method: The study was conducted through literary research, where 12 scientific articles from two databases were reviewed and analyzed. Result: The result consists of three themes and seven sub categories; Communication - Communication experience between patients and medical staff andConnection to the recipient, Emotions - Worry, Joy and Hope, Support - Social support and Economical support. Conclusion: The donor’s feelings were varied, but overall they felt a lack of communication and therefore worry. This indicates that the nurses are in need of improved communication skills in order to make the donation experience as good as possible.
