Experiences of nursing in epilepsy – the patient’s perspective : A general literature study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Epilepsi är en neurologisk sjukdom som drabbar människor över hela världen. Epilepsi påverkar livets alla aspekter och de begränsningar som sjukdomen medför kan resultera i försämrad livskvalitet. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa vuxna patienters upplevelser av omvårdnad vid epilepsi. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie genomfördes och tolv vetenskapliga artiklar inkluderades. Resultat: Patienter med epilepsi upplevde omvårdnaden bristfällig gällande information och bemötande. Otydlig och otillräcklig information från vårdpersonal medförde svårigheter att hantera sin sjukdom. Patienter upplevde ett förminskande av känslor samt att vårdpersonal visade brist på empati och respekt vid bemötandet. Bemötandet från sjukvårdspersonal beskrevs som väsentligt då det lägger en grund för upplevelsen av omvårdnaden. Personcentrerade omvårdnadsåtgärder samt ett professionellt bemötande upplevdes öka hanterbarheten, stärka självbestämmandet och genererade i ökad livskvalitet. Konklusion: Det förelåg brister i omvårdnaden vid epilepsi och det framkom ett behov av ökad kunskap gällande personcentrerad vård. Genom att patienters upplevelser belystes ökade medvetenheten kring behov och resurser, vilket genererade i en förbättrad personcentrerad omvårdnad och förbättrad livskvalitet.   

Abstract [en]

Background: Epilepsy is a neurological disease that affects people all over the world. Epilepsy affects all aspects of life and the limitation that the disease entails can result in an impaired quality of life. Purpose: The purpose was to elucidate adult patients experience of nursing care in epilepsy. Method: A general literature study was conducted and twelve scientific articles were included. Results: Patients with epilepsy perceive the nursing care as insufficient when it comes to information and treatment. Unclear and insufficient information from healthcare professionals means that patients with epilepsy experienced difficulties in managing their illness. Patients with epilepsy experience a diminution of emotions as well as an empathetic and disrespectful treatment. The treatment from healthcare professionals is described as essential as it laid a foundation for the experience of nursing. Person-centered care measures and professional treatment are perceived to increase manageability, strengthened self-determination and results in increased quality of life. Conclusions: There are shortcomings in nursing care in epilepsy and a need for improvement is identified regarding person-centered care. By highlighting patients’ experiences, awareness of needs and resources increases, which can generate improved person-centered care and improved quality of life for patients with epilepsy.
