Abstract [sv]

Problemformulering: Kataraktkirurgi och intravitreala injektioner är vanliga ingrepppå ögonmottagningar och dessa ingrepp kan föregås av oro och ångest hos patienten. Iögonsjuksköterskans ansvar ligger det att arbeta för en god omvårdnad och främjavälbefinnande för alla patienter. Ökad kunskap om ögonsjuköterskans erfarenhet avmötet med patienter med oro vid ingrepp i ögat skulle därför vara av värde för attfrämja hälsa och välbefinnande. Syfte: Att undersöka ögonsjuksköterskorserfarenheter av att möta patienter med oro i samband med planerade ingrepp i ögat.Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie med semistrukturerade frågor och induktiv ansatsgenomfördes. Tio ögonsjuksköterskor från fem ögonmottagningar i mellersta ochsödra Sverige deltog. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i tre kategorier och åttasubkategorier. De tre kategorierna var; Oro varierar, Omständigheter som kanpåverka oro, Oro kan leda till konsekvenser. Konklusion: Ögonsjuksköterskornahade en erfarenhet av att alla patienter hade någon form av oro preoperativt.Individanpassad information och ett personcentrerat omvårdnadsarbete var ett stöd föratt lindra oro hos patienterna. Teamets betydelse och specifika omvårdnadsåtgärdersom till exempel en hand att hålla var också av värde. Framtida studier kan varaintervjuer med ögonsjuksköterskor eller patienter med fokus på omvårdnadsåtgärdersom kan stilla oro.
