Nurses’emotional experience of caring for children with cancer : A qualitative interview study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: I Sverige drabbas ungefär ett barn om dagen av cancer. Barncancervård är komplext och ansvaret hos sjuksköterskan är stort och kräver kunskap. Sjuksköterskor som arbetar med barncancer upplever arbetet emotionellt intensivt och är utsatta för emotionell stress. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors känslomässiga upplevelse av att vårda barn med cancersjukdom. Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie med induktiv ansats användes till studien. Genom en semistrukturerad intervjuguide intervjuades 11 sjuksköterskor. Materialet analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys, vilket resulterade i fyra kategorier och sju underkategorier. Resultat: Resultatet redovisas utifrån studiens fyra kategorier: Känsla av meningsfullhet, Känsla av otillräcklighet, Behov av begriplighet och Hanterbarhet eftersträvas. Konklusion: Sjuksköterskor påverkas emotionellt både positivt och negativt av att vårda barn med cancersjukdom. Det är emotionellt krävande men också givande och glädjefyllt. Arbetet kräver erfarenhet och kompetens. Det är viktigt att uppmärksamma sjuksköterskors känslomässiga upplevelse inom barnonkologi för att de ska trivas och stanna kvar i yrket.

Method: A qualitative study based on interviews with inductive design was used for the study. Eleven nurses were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide. The material was analyzed through qualitative content analysis which resulted in four categories and seven subcategories. Result: The results are presented based on the study’s four categories: Sense of meaningfulness, Sense of inadequacy, Need for comprehensibility and Strive for manageability. Conclusion: Nurses are emotionally affected both positively and negatively by caring for children with cancer. It is emotionally demanding, but also rewarding and joyful.
