Providing palliative care at home : The nurse´s perspective (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Flertalet patienter föredrar att dö i hemmet. I samband med en åldrande befolkning samt en ökning av icke-smittsamma och smittsamma sjukdomar ökar behovet av palliativ hemsjukvård globalt. Den palliativa vården syftar till att uppnå bästa möjliga livskvalité för patienten och deras anhöriga, vidare ska vården i ordinärt boende tillgodose patientens behov av kontinuitet, säkerhet och trygghet. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa sjuksköterskans upplevelse av att ge palliativ vård i hemmet. Metod: Studiens metod var en allmän litteraturstudie med syfte att beskriva det aktuella kunskapsläget. Det här genomfördes genom att nio vetenskapliga artiklar plockades ut och bearbetades. Resultat: Ur resultatet framkom tre kategorier: emotionella upplevelser, vikten av samarbete samt utmaningar i hemmiljön. Palliativ vård upplevdes som både givande och krävande. Samarbetet med patient och anhöriga samt samarbetet inom det multiprofessionella teamet var av stor betydelse. Sjuksköterskorna ställs inför olika utmaningar när vården bedrivs i hemmet. Konklusion: Palliativ vård i hemmet ställer höga krav på sjuksköterskans kompetens till följd av patienters komplexa vårdbehov. Därav behövs vidare utbildning, forskning och kunskap inom området.
