Nursing interventions for elderly with depressive symptomsor depression: nurses experiences : A litterature study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa och depression ökar bland den äldre befolkningen. Detta ökar risken för försämrad fysisk hälsa samt förtida död. Sjuksköterskans bemötande och omvårdnad är ofta avgörande för välbefinnandet hos äldre med depressiva symtom eller depression. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av omvårdnadsåtgärder till äldre med depressiva symtom eller depression. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie gjordes där tio vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades och sammanställdes i en innehållsanalys. Resultat: Presenteras under tre huvudkategorier; Sjuksköterskors kunskapsnivå: Sjuksköterskor anser att äldre patienter som lider av depressiva symtom eller depression utsätts för stort lidande på grund av sjuksköterskornas bristande utbildning; Omvårdnadsåtgärder: Sjuksköterkor anser att omvårdnadsåtgärder bör prioriteras högre än farmakologiska åtgärder, främst i de fall där patientens vardagliga behov inte uppfylls; Brister i omvårdnaden: Sjuksköterskor upplever brist på resurser såsom tid och personal. Konklusion/Implikation: Utbildning för sjuksköterskor, inom depression hos äldre bör utvecklas och erbjudas, både i grundutbildningen och inom praktisk vårdverksamhet där även tydligare riktlinjer behövs.

Abstract [en]

Background: Mental illness and depression are increasing among the elderly population. This increases the risk of deteriorating physical health and premature death. The nurse's treatment and care are often crucial for the well-being of the elderly with depressive symptoms or depression. Aim: To describe nurses' experiences of nursing care for the elderly with depressive symptoms or depression. Method: A general literature study was done where ten scientific articles were analyzed and compiled in a content analysis. Result: Presented under three main categories; Nurses 'level of knowledge: Nurses believe that elderly patients suffering from depressive symptoms or depression are exposed to great suffering due to the nurses' lack of education; Nursing interventions: Nurses believes that nursing interventions should be given higher priority than pharmacological interventions, especially in cases where the patient's everyday needs are not fulfilled; Deficiencies in nursing: Nurses experience a lack of resources such as time and personnel. Conclusion/Implication: Education for nurses, in depression among elderly should be developed and offered, both in basic education and in practical care activities where even clearer guidelines are needed.
