Experiences of nursing care from a transcultural perspective among patients with an immigrant background : – A general literature study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Kulturell mångfald inom vården har ökat och skapat utmaningar. Språkbarriärer och kulturella skillnader kan påverka kvaliteten på både behandlingar och omvårdnaden samt öka risken för felbehandling. Sjuksköterskan har ett ansvar för patientsäkerhet därför är det avgörande att ge en kulturellt kongruent och holistisk vård. Syfte: Syftet var att ur ett transkulturellt perspektiv belysa upplevelser av omvårdnad hos patienter med invandrarbakgrund. Metod: Studien utfördes som en allmän litteraturstudie med en induktiv ansats. Resultatartiklar inkluderade åtta kvalitativa, två kvantitativa och en mixad studie. Resultat: Resultatet belyser tre huvudkategorier: Kommunikationsutmaningar, patienternas upplevelser av bemötande, patienternas upplevelser av kulturella värden. Patienterna beskrev svårigheter de mötte i vården såsom språkbarriärer, oprofessionella tolkar samt brist på tydlig information som påverkade deras förståelse och interaktioner med vårdpersonal, tillgång till vården, följsamhet till behandling och informerade beslut. Patienterna upplevde rasdiskriminering och partiskhet baserad på deras kulturella eller religiösa utseende. Konklusion: Ytterligare forskning behövs för att utforska sjuksköterskors kulturella kompetenser och inverkan på patienters upplevelser av omvårdnad. Ett förbättringsarbete inom hälso- och sjukvård samt tillhörande utbildningar kan öka den kulturella kompetensen och förbättra omvårdnaden för patienter.

Abstract [en]

Background: Cultural diversity in healthcare has increased, creating significant challenges. Language barriers and cultural differences can affect the quality of both treatments and nursing care, as well as increase the risk of medical errors. Nurses have a responsibility for patient safety, making it essential to provide culturally congruent and holistic care. Aim: The aim was to highlight experiences of nursing care among patients with an immigrant background from a transcultural perspective. Method: The study was conducted as a general literature study with an inductive approach. The included articles comprised eight qualitative studies, two quantitative studies, and one mixed-method study. Results: The findings highlight three main categories: Communication challenges, patients' experiences of encounters, patients' experiences of cultural values. Patients described difficulties encountered in healthcare, such as language barriers, unprofessional interpreters, and a lack of clear information, which affected their understanding and interactions with healthcare staff, access to care, treatment adherence, and informed decision-making. Patients also reported experiencing racial discrimination and bias based on their cultural or religious appearance. Conclusion: Further research is needed to explore nurses' cultural competencies and their impact on patients' experiences of nursing care. Improvements within healthcare and related educational programs could enhance cultural competence and improve nursing care for patients.
