Full textConfusion can be a life threatening condition that is often missed by the nurses, thus it occurs in the same range as pain, fever or infections. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the phenomenon of confusion among elderly patients, in order to establish a wider understanding of the patient's nursing needs. Method: Literature study based on scientific material. Results: The result showed the patient's ability to recollect and reconstruct episodes of confusion. During the confusion the stories contained a wide variety of experiences, such as threat, fear, suspicion, chaos and order, unreal experiences, a need to escape and a bad sleep. Afterwards the patient's told that they experienced a sense of shame and guilt, abasement, fear, relief and a will to understand what had happened to them. They also felt a need to talk about what they had gone through. These experiences of confusion among elderly patients showed the importance of education and awareness among the nursing staff. The nursing strategies depended in which ground the nurses´ folkway by the elder patient was settled in. When the nurse establishes relation, brings and puts across enough knowledge, beholds, observes and evaluates, informs, explains, communicates and creates a encouraging inner and outer environment, she gives an opportunity for the patients recovery.

Bakgrund: Akut konfusion har visat sig förekomma inom nästan alla vårdformer för äldre patienter, därför behöver sjuksköterskan utveckla sina kunskaper om patienters upplevelser vid tillståndet. Syfte: Att beskriva äldre patienters upplevelser vid akut konfusion i samband med sjukhusvistelse. Metod: Litteraturstudien utgjordes av tio vetenskapliga artiklar som hittades i databasen PubMed och analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Utifrån innehållsanalysen formades fyra teman kring äldre patienters upplevelser vid akut konfusion; ”en overklig verklighet”, ”starka emotionella upplevelser”, ”vara i någon annans händer” och ”uppvaknandet”. Det framkom att patienterna upplevde hallucinationer och att tids- och rumsuppfattningen mixandes ihop samt att de upplevde rädsla och hot. Patienterna kände också att mötet med sjuksköterskan inte skedde på lika villkor och de kände sig därför underlägsna. Dock var sjuksköterskans närvaro viktig för att patienten skulle känna trygghet. Patienterna upplevde att de miste kontrollen över situationen och kände ofta skuld och skam efteråt. Slutsats: Det behövs gemensamma strategier för sjuksköterskor inom omvårdnaden av äldre för att kunna hantera uppkomna situationer i samband med akut konfusion. En modell utarbetades om hur sjuksköterskor kan agera i arbetet med äldre patienter som riskerar att drabbas av akut konfusion.

Full textKonfusion är mycket vanligt förekommande hos äldre och skapar stort lidande, ger höga samhällskostnader och orsakar hög mortalitet. Syftet med studien var att belysa sjuksköterskans icke farmakologiska omvårdnadsåtgärder vid konfusion hos äldre patienter. Metoden var en litteraturstudie, vilken innefattade tio artiklar där relevanta omvårdnadsåtgärder framkom, dessa presenterades i resultatet under VIPS - modellens åtgärdssökord. Resultatet av studien visade att patienter med konfusion mindes och uppmärksammade vad som skedde med och runt omkring dem. Viktigt var att få information om sitt konfusionstillstånd för att förstå vad som hände och varför. Samspelet mellan sjuksköterska och patient var av stor vikt. Återorientering av patienten var vanligt och ansågs oftast ha positiv effekt. Att bekräfta patientens upplevelse, och att visa omtanke och förståelse var väl fungerande stöd. Kontinuitet av personal, att eliminera bakomliggande orsaker och att främja god sömn var av stor betydelse. Vanligt förekommande var tvångsåtgärder för att skydda patienten från att skada sig själv och andra. Musik och ljusterapi togs upp som omvårdnadsåtgärder. Även närstående hade en stor roll vid omvårdnaden av patienten med konfusion. Relativt lite forskning finns inom området konfusion, i synnerhet gällande omvårdnadsåtgärder i samband med konfusionstillståndet. Behov av ytterligare forskning föreligger inom området. //
Confusion is quite common among elderly and creates great suffering, high cost for social services and high mortality. The purpose of this study was to highlight the non-pharmacological actions in care provided by nurses to elderly with confusion. The method was a literature study, based on ten articles containing relevant care measures where the result is presented in the VIPS-model’s keywords. The result of the study showed that patients with confusion remembered and registered what was happening around them. It was important for the patient to obtain proper information regarding the state of confusion to understand what is happening. The teamwork between nurse and patient is of great importance. Re-orientation of patient was common and mostly considered to have a positive effect. Important support by the nurse is to confirm the patient’s perception by showing concern and understanding. Other key concepts where continuity of staff, eliminate underlying causes, facilitate good sleep. It was common with supervision and constrainer to protect the patients from harming themselves and others. Music and light therapy were mentioned as care measures. Relatives also played an important part in treating a patient with confusion. There is relatively little research regarding confusion especially with focus on suitable care actions. There is a need of further studies in this matter.

Full textBackground: Delirium is a common phenomenon for elderly people during hospitalization. As many as 50% might be affected by this severe condition. Due to poor knowledge among nurses in general, many patients neither get the proper diagnosis nor care. By enhancing the understanding of the lived experience of delirium by patients, their families and the caregiving nurses, it is possible to create a good foundation for cooperation among all parts. Since the patients often have trouble with communication, the family’s knowledge of the patient can help health professionals and calm the patient. Family-centered care theory was therefore chosen as nursing theory. Aim: To examine the lived experience of delirium at a hospital from the perspective of the elderly patient, the significant other and the nurse. It is also to explore if family-centered care can serve as prevention or positive impact on the patient with delirium. Method: A literature review with systematic approach based on fifteen articles from the years 2010–2019, from the PubMed database. Of the articles, eight had a qualitative method, four had a quantitative approach while three articles used the mixed method. Result: The literature review resulted in four themes: Experience of the confusion, Lack of knowledge, Interaction and Family-centered nursing. These were reflected according to the patient, the significant other and the nurse. The theme Experience of the confusion showed that the patients often had a terrifying experience during the delirium episode. The theme Lack of knowledge showed that significant others were frustrated that they did not receive a clear explanation for the patient’s condition. In the theme of Interaction, hallucinations and an aggressive behaviour in patients led to nurses sometimes having to use coercive methods. The theme of family-centered nursing showed that by highlighting significant others knowledge of the patient, early signs of confusion could be detected, and patients also felt calmer. Conclusion: Delirium is a complex state that is difficult for the patient as well as the family and the nurse. If the knowledge of delirium increases for the nurse and the significant other, the cooperation can improve the care of the patient.

Full textBackground: Delirium is an acute state of confusion that is common post surgery where a disorientation of time, situation and person occurs which can lead to longer length of stay, an increased need for rehabilitation and an increased mortality. This leads to suffering for the patient but also an increased burden on healthcare. By preventing postoperative delirium the negative consequences could be avoided and the suffering of the patient thereby decrease. Aim: The aim of this study was to identify non-pharmacological measures that are described in scientific literature to prevent postoperative delirium in somatic wards. Methods: A descriptive literature study based on ten quantitative peer reviewed articles published between 2015–2020. The databases that were used were Pubmed and Cinahl. The compiled results were evaluated and the compiled results were analyzed and then categorized into themes to give a better overview of the field. Results: As preventive measures for postoperative delirium five themes were identified in the result. These were knowledge, orientation, environment, nursing care and pain. Within these themes categories were also identified and communication, staff education and a close cooperation with relatives were an important part in preventing postoperative delirium in somatic wards. Conclusion: With non-pharmacological preventive measures aimed towards knowledge, orientation, environment, nursing care and pain more cases of postoperative delirium could be prevented. These preventive measures could thereby decrease the patients suffering and the burden on healthcare.

Full textBackground: Fast-track surgery is an increasingly common work procedure in cardiac surgery. Previous studies have shown that an early extubation has a positive effect on the patients’ reha-bilitation process and contributes to a shorter hospitalization and lowered medical costs. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify and recognize the degree of pain and confusion after extubation in patients’ undergone cardiac surgery. Method: Material was collected through an ongoing record review. The pilot study examined the medical records and monitoring records in real time. This was carried out in combination with an observation form designed for the study containing the instruments VAS [Visual Analogue Scale for pain measurement] and RASS [The Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale, for the assessment of the degree of confusion]. Results: Patients experienced pain after both early and late extubation in heart surgery. After early extubation four of ten patients were documented as calm and alert, and six of ten as dull. After late extubation one patient was documented/revised to be slightly sedated, eight patients as lethargic, one patient as alert and calm, and one patient as restless. Conclusion: The data set is appropriate for a pilot study. Thus, it is not possible to draw any scientific conclusions concerning the correlation between the time of extubation, pain and confusion. In order to achieve a scientific significance, a study of greater amplitude is required.

Full textBakgrund: Akut konfusion är en akut rubbning av medvetandet som leder till nedsatt uppmärksamhet samt försämrad kognitiv förmåga, uppfattningsförmåga och minnesförmåga. Akut konfusion kan drabba vem som helst, men är vanligast bland äldre patienter i samband med sjukhusvård. Syfte: Att belysa patienters upplevelser av akut konfusion samt behov av stöd. Metod: En litteraturstudie med struktur av innehållsanalys baserad på 16 vetenskapliga studier. Resultat: I form av fyra kategorier presenterades patienters upplevelser samt behov av stöd under och efter den akuta konfusionen. Huvudfynden i resultatet berörde patienters upplevelser av obehag eller välbefinnande, overkliga upplevelser och kaos, kamp- eller flyktkänslor, att vilja förstå och försöka få kontroll, skam och skuld samt lättnad och lärdom. Resultatet visade även patienternas behov av en bra omgivande miljö, närhet och kommunikation samt bearbetning. Dessa upplevelser och behov presenterades i form av nio subkategorier. Slutsats: Patienterna upplevde övervägande den akuta konfusionen som obehaglig och plågsam. I resultatet framkom att patienterna upplevde behov av omvårdnad och stöd både under och efter en akut konfusionsperiod. För att kunna ge omvårdnad och stöd utifrån patienternas verkliga behov bör vårdpersonalen ta del av patienternas egna upplevelser.

Full textBackground: Delirium is a common syndrome that often affects older people when admitted into hospital care. Delirium is often misinterpreted as other medical conditions or overlooked by nurses, which in turn can lead to unnecessary suffering for patients. Nurses are expected to work person-centered and the nurse has a variety of assessment tools at her disposal to assess the patient's status and identify delirium. Aim: To investigate nurses' experiences of assessing and caring for patients with delirium in a hospital ward Method: A qualitative interview study with nurses working in hospital wards Results: Nurses lack education on delirium, they have gained knowledge about the syndrome through experience. To identify delirium, nurses use their clinical gaze as well as the patient's anamnesis, relatives and joint reflection within the team. Cognitive assessment ools are not being used. Patients with delirium have a great need for security and time, these needs are difficult to satisfy for nurses in emergency care and in times of high workload in hospital wards. Conclusion: The lack of knowledge about delirium needs to be highlighted in order to prioritize education about the syndrome. Elderly patients with delirium should not be cared for in emergency departments unless their medical condition so requires. Awareness and knowledge of cognitive assessment tools should be improved in hospital care to facilitate early identification and avoid unnecessary suffering for patients.

Full textTitle: Nurses experience of acute confusion in elderly patients in acute emergency care- A qualitative interview study. Background: The elderly cared for in emergency care have an incidence between 11–51% to develop acute confusion during the care period. The condition is related to increased morbidity and mortality among the elderly. Multifactorial causes lie behind the elderly being affected. Acute confusion is a clinical diagnosis, at present there are not biomarkers or examinations that can identify the condition. Acute confusion requires early awareness, swift investigation, medical care and well adapted health care environment in order for the patient to recover. Purpose: To describe nurses experiences in detecting, preventing and caring for patients suffering from acute confusion in emergency care. Design: A qualitative interview with five nurses working within geriatric emergency care at two hospitals in the south of Sweden. Result: Three categories emerged in the result; strategies to identify and assess signs of acute confusion, strategies and hinders for preventative measures and good nursing upon acute confusion, and improvement proposals for the care of elderly suffering from acute confusion. Nurses used observation, communication, and gathering of information from medical records and relatives in order to identify acute confusion. A comprehensive view in care, continuity in contacts, adaption of health care environment and relatives engagement were important factors to prevent acute confusion and provide good nursing. Hindering factors were a result of shortcomings in the health care environment, insufficient resources and time, and lack of knowledge among other requisite staff regarding appropriate reception and approach. Conclusion: An evidence-based screening instrument which identifies various states of confusion would render assessment and documentation easier for nurses. Personal centered care built upon that such is planned based on a comprehensive view and continuity in contacts, and that relatives are more engaged in care, is advocated by the nurses. Health care environment shall be adapted, be calm and supportive in form. Staff that work with confused patients need more sufficient knowledge regarding appropriate reception and approach to render patient recovery easier.

Full textBackground: Delirium is one of the most common postoperative complications and results in impaired cognitive function for the patient. It has been established from research that delirious patients had a higher risk for mortality, pathophysiological consequences and negative postoperative outcomes which can cause distress for the patient. Intention: The aim of this study was to survey nursing interventions that prevent delirium for patients who underwent surgery. Method: Quantitative literature review with a descriptive design, where the result is based on ten quantitative original articles. Results: The results show that use of clinical assessment tools for nurses, adaptation of the nursing environment and involvement of family members helped to prevent the development of delirium. Conclusion: Proper nursing assessment tools, adaptation of the nursing environment and involvement of family members helped prevent delirium. Nurses play a vital role in the patientcentered care as it is here warning signs needs to be identified – knowledge of this subject should therefore be studied. This helps to improve the quality of the nursing care, prevents delirium and reduces unnecessary suffering for the patients.

Full textBackground: Postoperative confusion is a common complication in postoperative care units. Increased knowledge of prevention, detection and treatment of postoperative can shorten hospitalization for these patients and reduce other serious postoperative complications and costs to healthcare. Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate which nursing strategies and nursing measures nurses use to prevent, detect and treat postoperative confusion, and thereby reduce unnecessary suffering for patients in postoperative care unit. Method: The method used was a qualitative interview study including eight nurses at two postoperative care units at a hospital central Sweden. A qualitative content analysis was used for analysis of the collected data. Results: The results showed that nurses had different nursing strategies for the treatment of patients at risk for postoperative confusion and for confused patients. The content analysis resulted in six categories; 1. To see the patient , 2. To prevent, 3. To detect, 4. To treat, 5. Complications to nursing, and 6. Nurse’s needs to provide nursing. Conclusion: Nurses considered that early detection of postoperative confusion is important because confusion can lead to care injuries and other complications. A clear strategy for screening risk patients, detecting and treating of confusion was missing. No assessment tool was used för measuring the grade of confusion. Nurses wanted more resources to detect and treat postoperative confusion and more focus on postoperative confusion on care units.

Full textABSTRACT Background Delirium is a common neuropsychiatric condition that primarily affects frail, aged people. When it has occured it is few treatments available to reduce duration and severity. The purpose of this study was to find out how delirium can be prevented and how nursing can facilitate the care of aged patients with delirium in hospital. Methods To find answer to our purpose a descriptive litteraturestudy have been chosen as a method. Database searches were implemented and the quality of the studies was scientifically reviewed with a template. Fifteen studies were included, both quantitative and qualitative. Through analysis of included studies, valuable data based on the purpose were identified and sorted into three categories. Results The results show that preventive actions have importance for reducing the risk of being affected of delirium. Some studies formed as multicomponent studies have shown good results for avoiding acute onset of delirium where the interventions secure that several of the patient basic needs are catered, as sleep, nutrition- and fluid intake, elimination and being able to communicate. The studies also came up with the result that the knowledge and education of the health professionals mattered, that increased knowledge facilitates the patient care and the quality of care. When the patient is affected of delirium, there are actions that facilitate the nursing. Facilitating actions is described in the studies as increased supervision, reduction of stimuli, activate the patient etcetera. Conclusion Preventive interventions have importance of reducing the risk of elderly patients being affected of delirium. Increased knowledge of healthcare professionals improves patient care and quality of care. To facilitate the care of the patient with ongoing delirium there is need for time, experience, suitable facilities and enough healthcare personnel.
