Full textI Sverige minskar antalet personer som drabbas av hjärtinfarkt trots detta är förekomsten fortfarande hög och ca 5800 avlider varje år. Hjärtinfarkten medför både fysiska och psykiska förändringar hos den drabbade. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att belysa patienters upplevelse av livet efter en genomgången hjärtinfarkt. I studiens resultat framkom det att både män och kvinnor såg situationen och livet efter en hjärtinfarkt som svår att hantera, då både kroppen och hjärtat inte längre upplevdes pålitligt. Detta resulterade i rädsla och oro som begränsade det vardagliga livet. Personerna upplevde att det var svårt att tolka kroppsliga signaler, vilket gav en osäkerhet som resulterade i ångest och katastrof tankar om döden. Detta medförde även att de inte vågade anstränga sig fysiskt. Känslor som ilska, frustration och nedstämdhet upplevdes på grund av den mentala och fysiska utmattningen som var svår att förstå. Personerna kunde inte utföra vardagsaktiviteter i samma utsträckning som innan hjärtinfarkten, vilket resulterade i en känsla av passivitet. Det utrycktes även ett behovav stöd från anhöriga och vårdpersonal för att klara av sin situation och det vardagligalivet. Vårdpersonalens bemötande och agerande var avgörande för hur patienterna förstod informationen som gavs, deltog i rehabilitering och klarade att genomföra nödvändiga förändringar när det gäller ohälsosamma levnadsvanor. Vårdpersonalens förmåga att skapa en trygg atmosfär tillsammans med att se patienten som människa var viktigt för att uppnå välbefinnande. Anhöriga sågs som en resurs för personerna då de kunde avlasta vardagssysslorna samtidigt som de lyssnade, vilket gav trygghet och välbefinnande hemma. Patienter upplevde att familjen satt för höga krav och fick då stödet från vänner. Partnerrelationen kunde påverkas genom den minskade sexuella relationen som grundade sig i rädsla för de fysiska förändringarna och upplevdes svårt att prata om med partnern. Livet efter en hjärtinfarkt beskrevs som en ny chans till livet där nya värderingar uppstod. Personerna upplevde att arbetsgivarens attityd och förståelse för situationen var avgörande för fortsatt sjukskrivning. För att kunna möta patientens unika behov och skapa välbefinnande genom omvårdnad, är personcentrerat förhållningssätt lämpligt för att vidhålla en helhetssyn på patienten och inte bara det fysiologiska tillståndet.

Full textBackground: The ward round is a team collaboration mainly between patient, nurse and physician. A good collaboration enhances the relationship between them. In addition, a successful round between the patient and the medical personnel is of great significance for the patient to have a safe and person-centered care. Therefore it is important to gain a deeper understanding of how patients and medical staff experience ward rounds, as well as of the importance of team work during the ward rounds. Aim: To shed light upon the effects of ward rounding on healthcare teams and to explore the experience of ward rounds from the perspectives of both patients and medical staff (nurses, physicians and medical students). Method: A literature study based on 14 scientific articles. Databases used in the study were PubMed, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, SBU and SveMed. Results: The results of this study indicate that both patients and medical personnel experience an increased satisfaction during ward rounds. Furthermore, the results show that ward rounds contribute in making medical personnel provide a proactive care to their patients, that cooperation between medical staff becomes more efficient, and that ward rounding benefits medical students’ development and increases students’ satisfaction with their education. A challenge that nurses experience during ward rounds is time limitation – mainly they experience that it takes time for nurses and physicians to synchronize and coordinate the meeting between patient and medical personnel, and also that the time for documentation is inadequate. Physicians also experience that their autonomy is reduced in relation to ward rounds. Conclusion: Overall, ward rounding can be an effective way to promote person-centered care. Ward rounds have a positive impact on teamwork between medical personnel and contribute to increased satisfaction among both patients and medical staff. However, there is need for further research on patients' perception of ward rounding and which specific measures that can be taken for the medical staff to be able to collaborate more efficiently.

Full textObjectives: Fibromyalgia has long been a chronic pain condition that bases itself on the individual's subjective experience of pain. Aim: The aim was to describe how patients with fibromyalgia experience the treatment, support and attitudes by the health care personal. Methods: This study is a literature review based on thirteen articles’. Results: The result resulted in two main categories "Patients experiences of treatment" and "Knowledge and support from the medical staff". The patients experience that the health care personal has a lack of knowledge of both diagnosis and treatment. The patients also experience distrust in their doctors and experience a lack of adequate help when seeking for their painful symptoms. Patients with fibromyalgia diagnosis experience poor treatment in health care, and want a person-centered approach and more time by their doctors. Conclusions: This literature review shows that patients with fibromyalgia report that they experience poor treatment, ignorance and lack of commitment from health care. Research should focus on how services can work more person-centered for this group of patients, for example by intervention studies.

Full textBackground: Nurse-to-nurse shift report means the exchange of information about the patient’s state of health between health care professionals. Previous research shows that errors within the communication are common and that it can lead to serious consequences for the patient. Bedside handover means that the shift report is conducted to the patient’s bedside, therefore the patient can also be actively involved in it. Aim: To describe patients' and nurses’ experience and views of bedside report. Method: A literature review was conducted based on 11 studies that corresponded to the purpose. These were quality checked and analyzed with Friberg's three-stage model. Results: Articles focusing on patients was revealed into three themes: 1) Provides increased safety. 2) The integrity could be affected. 3) Communication adapted to patient. Articles focusing on nurses was revealed into three themes: 1) To get closer to the patient. 2) The importance of dealing with privacy and sensitive information in a correct way. 3) Improved communication. Conclusion: The main findings in this literature review were increased patient safety and increased sense of patient participation. These findings are notions which the person-centered care is based on. Health care professionals who intend to pursue a person-centered care should consider implementing bedside handover as their report model.

Full textBackground: Today there is approximately 150 000 individuals with dementia in Sweden and the group is expanding at the same time the population is ageing. Person centred care has its roots in humanistic psychology and the concept was described already in the 1960’s. Person centred care is one of the nurses’ six core competencies and is a good foundation for the various needs amongst the complex patientgroup. Aim: The aim for the literature review is to illustrate nurses’ experiences of giving person centred care to patients with dementia. Method: A literature review with a result based on studies with a qualitative approach. Databases used was CINAHL, PsycINFO and PubMed. The fifteen articles of the result were analyzed according to Forsberg and Wengströms (2016) model of five steps. Results: The result was presented using four main themes; the organisation, patient-relations, communication, care environment and seven subthemes; workplace support, quality of competens, lack of time and personel, lifestory - a patient’s history, personal attributes, team cooperation and documentation routines. Conclusion: The health-care system is a complex organisation and the nurse faces many challenges. Insufficient support from both management and colleagues and the formation of the care environment was all factors that affected the nurses’ ability to provide person centred care. More education in communication and different types of dementia illnesses were seen by nurses as positive contribution in their work. Even the importance of having a good relationship with the patient and learn about their lifestory was brought to daylight as important components in person centred care.

Full textSurgery with prosthetic joint replacement of the hip and knee in patients with osteoarthritis is a common procedure. Despite meticulous preparation prior to surgery, surgical site infections develop in some patients. A surgical site infection is a direct threat to the new implanted joint and can lead to long treatments that affect quality of life over time. The aim of this study was to explore patients´ participation in early detection of a surgical site infection based on the information given in conjunction to surgery for hip and knee replacement. Semi structured interviews were conducted with ten patients diagnosed with surgical site infection after hip or knee replacement surgery. Transcribed interviews were analyzed using content analysis. Medical records were reviewed to describe the patients´ comorbidity. The result showed that the first signs of infection can be described with the theme; What is normal and what is not normal? Two categories describe patients´ Possibility of participation and Barriers to participation in infection prevention before and after surgery. It was all about How the patient had understood or not understood the given information which was categorized as subcategories. Person-centered care can be a tool that enables patients´ possibilities to participate in their care and increases the possibilities to prevent adverse events such as surgical site infections.

Full textBackground: Patient visits at Swedish emergency departments have decreased, but waitingtimes has increased. The triage system is used by nurses to prioritize patients based on their health background and symptoms. A good care environment, regular communication, information, increased participation and person-centered care can reduce the incidence of caregiving for patients who have sought care at Swedish emergency departments. Aim: The aim of this study was to illustrate what it is like to be a patient under waiting time at a Swedish emergency department. Method: This study is a literature review based on ten scientific articles with a qualitative method. Results: Three main categories of meeting with the nurse, factors affecting the experience, consequences of inadequate care. Six subcategories of positive experiences, negative experiences, the impact of the care environment, basic needs, exposure and vulnerability and situation is accepted. Discussion: In the discussion, the authors emphasize patients’ experiences from the emergency department. It was discussed around three concepts person-centered care, caregiving and participation. Conclusion: It emerged that when basic needs were met, information was provided and when the nurse gave confirmation, participation increased, and care sufferers could be prevented.

Full textBackground: An intestinal stoma could mean great physical and mental changes and restrictions in a patient's life. Colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel diseases are the most common causes of intestinal stoma. Stoma therapists are specially trained nurses, when they are not available, it is ordinary nurses that cater to the care of the patient. Aim: To illuminate the patient's experience of living with intestinal stoma. Method: A general literature review based on eleven qualitative articles. Results: The analysis resulted in four themes. Impact on daily life, change of habits that affect the patient's life. Body image, intestinal stoma changed the patient’s view of their body. Support, the importance of the nurse's role in nursing. Information, provided by the nurse was an important element in the self-care. Conclusion: It is of importance that the nurses in their role adapts the care individually and take into account the patient based on the patient’s individual needs. The nurse can also motivate the patient to participate in self-care and provide support for the patient to the adjustment of the intestinal stoma. By relating to the person-centered care the nurse can take the patient’s whole experience into account and gain a deeper knowledge of understanding the patient’s experience of living with an intestinal stoma. Continued research: As a nurse, it is important to always take note of current research in order to improve the care of patients with intestinal stoma. Further research is needed, since specific research was lacking in the area person-centrered and intestinal stoma care

Full textBackground: Although the patient is entitled by law to be involved during the care period, it is not always an easy task to achieve. This challenge highlights the importance of the conditions and requirements needed by the patient to feel involved in the care. Aim: The purpose of the study was to describe the nurse's experiences and what could affect patient’s involvement in decisions about care and treatment within inpatient care. Method: This study was based on a qualitative method with inductive approach. Semi-structured interviews with interview guide, comprised of predetermined open questions, were used to collect the data. Result: The results highlighted that according to the nurses’ experience, not all the patients were totally involved in decisions about their care and treatment. For instance, the team-patient communication, the patients' illness, and the care staff's attitude were some of the parameters identified by this study. Conclusion: In this study, it emerges that clinical experience, competence, knowledge and good communication with mutual dialogue and relevant information to the patient enable nurses to create the conditions for the patient's participation. It appears from the study that nursing staff need more education to increase their knowledge of older patients in order to actively invite the patient to participation and decision-making in the care.

Full textBackground: Person-centered care (PCV) is increasingly used in both somatic and psychiatric care, with predominantly positive effects for the individual. Clinical studies are ongoing, but another way of evaluating methods is to follow how indicators from patient registries develop after implementation. Purpose: In this study, the indicators are analyzed based on the knowledge that the psychiatric clinic at Gotland has introduced PCV 2016 and has thus had the opportunity to closely monitor the indicators' development. Method: Through descriptive analysis, this study has identified results that indicate that there are changes in indicator development over time that can be linked to the introduction of PCV in 2016. Outcome: The clearest result is the reduction in the number of individuals and inpatient care. The reduction of Individual plans is clear and should be analyzed in more detail with a gender perspective. Results in areas of safe care are not clear, but by no means negative, with low numbers maintained. Conclusion: The results in this study indicate that there are changes in indicator development over time that can be linked to the introduction of PCV in 2016.

Full textPerson-centered care emphasizes the importance of seeing the person behind the patient as well as the cooperation between the patient and healthcare professionals. The patient is considered as an equal partner in healthcare and is participating in the planning and execution of their care. Within emergency care, there are many short meetings with multiple patients which may limit the possibility of maintaining person-centered care. The fragmented way of work within emergency care, along with changing conditions and limited time, sets high standards on the capability of healthcare professionals to utilize the short meetings in order to paint a general picture of the patient’s care. In order to conduct person-centered care within emergency care, a holistic perspective is of importance to create a comprehensive view of patients’ care. Person-centered care increases the quality and effectiveness of healthcare, and in order to strengthen the patient’s position within healthcare a person-centered approach is recommended within emergency care. The aim was to describe the factors affecting healthcare professionals’ conditions to conduct person-centered care within emergency care. A literature review was used as a method and a collection of data was done through database searches. The databases used were CINAHL and PubMed, along with manual searches, where 15 qualitative and quantitative original articles were found. The results were categorized into four categories: Care relationship, communication and information, professional factors, and organizational factors. The results showed that acquainting with the person behind the patient and involving relatives in the care, as well as having a clear communication and information, were factors that affected the conditions for person-centered care. Healthcare professionals’ attitude towards patients’ participation in care, teamwork, care environment, and support from the management, affects to what extent healthcare professionals conduct person-centered care within emergency care. The conclusion of the study is that person-centered care is crucial for patient satisfaction, and it is a fundamental prerequisite in order to conduct high quality care. It is essential that healthcare professionals can relate to the patient in a good manner, using a good care relationship, clear communication and information, and an optimal healthcare environment for the patient. These conditions are obtained by having sufficient staffing and adequate working conditions, along with proper support from management. Having well-functioning teamwork in regards to patient care and having the capability to see the person behind the patient, thus better conditions are created in order to conduct person-centered care within emergency care.

Full textBackground: The health facility environment has traditionally been design by architects. The approach to the patient has switched from a subject to an object, to once again look upon the patient as a subject. Designing and creating new types of health facility environments is an interest that has increased. Problem: Understanding how patients are effected by the health facility environment is necessary for nurses to be able to care for patients in a person-centered way and create conditions for a good health facility environment. Aim: To describe the health facility environment as it is experienced by patients admitted to a hospital ward. Method: A literature review with a compilation of qualitative studies. Results: Findings where categorized in two themes and five subthemes. The first theme “Experiences of health facility environment and its importance for integrity and dignity”, describes sharing the environment with others and how the environment affect the patient to feeling exposed and addicted to the nursing staff. The second theme “Experiences of health facility environment and its importance for security and fellowship”, describes how the patient is able to share experiences with others, physical aspects which can create calm and safe atmosphere and to feel safe in the hands of other people. Conclusion: Both the physical and psychosocial health facility environment has importance for the experiences of the patients. Respecting the patients individual needs were important to achieve person- centered nursing care and an optimal health facility environment.

Full textBackground: The concept of person-centered care has grown nationally and internationally and created a description of good care for every individual. If the healthcare system is organized with a focus on the patient as an individual the care becomes more efficient and it also increases the patients participation and engagement. When nurses practice person-centered care it enhances the resilience for the patients and improves the possibility of being involved in decisions aboout their own care. In total 13 of 21 regions in Sweden has decisions about creating requisite for person-centered care, although a majority of the regions describes different challenges that comes with implementing person-centered care. Some of these challenges are that nurses wish that they got more support from the management, and there are other circumstances that can obstruct the work with person-centered care, such as insufficient communication between patient and nurse. It is therefore important to highlight the patients view on person-centered care. Aim: The aim of this literature review was to describe patients experiences of person-centered care in somatic care. Method: A literature review, based on 18 scientific articles from the three databases CINAHL, PsycINFO and PubMed. Results: Two main categories were identified in the results. These main categories were experiences of the relationship between patient and nurse and experiences of being seen and treated as a unique individual. Conclusion: The relationship between patient and nurse was a central aspect that had great meaning for the patients well being and care. To be seen as a unique individual was shown through being able to tell their story, get support to handle the disease and through having possibilities to autonomy and participation. Personcentered care can contribute to patients getting a good treatment, being respected and being seen.

Full textBackground: Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. It may be valuable for nurses to have knowledge of how patients with pancreatic cancer experience their disease, in order to be able to plan a person-centered care. Purpose: The aim of the study was to explore experiences in patients with pancreatic cancer. Method: A literature study with inductive structure and review of nine scientific articles was conducted. Result: The result revealed three categories: Physical impact as a result of illness or treatment, psychological impact as a result of illness or treatment and Importance of communication with healthcare professionals. The results showed that patients with pancreatic cancer suffered from physical and psychological symptoms. The symptoms affected their social and everyday activities. The results also showed that patients with pancreatic cancer were in need of information and communication with healthcare professionals. Conclusion: This study can contribute with knowledge about how patients with pancreatic cancer experience their disease on a physical, psychological and communicative level. Further research on how patients with pancreatic cancer experience their disease can help nurses feel safe working with this type of patients. Suggestion for further research is to study the relationship between person-centered care in connection to patients with pancreatic cancer.

Full textBackground: All nurses have an ethical and legal responsibility for their care, assessments and decisions. Person-centered care is assumed to bring a more humane aspect to the healthcare of today, without reducing the patient to a passive care object. Could the use of humor be a way to make the healthcare more person-centered? Aim: The aim was to explore the importance of humor to person-centered care. Method: A literature review with a qualitative content analysis, based on nine scientific articles published between 2009-2019. Results: The study generated three main themes: humor as a tool for communication, the importance of humor for the nurse-patient relationship, and approaches to humor. Conclusion: Humor has a key role in healthcare to promote person-centered care, and should be taken seriously. A salutogenic use of humor has multiple positive aspects and does not undermine the professionality of the nurse. Nurses can strengthen partnership, patient stories and documentation in person-centered care by initiating, using and reciprocating humor. The authors ask for more empirical studies targeting the experiences of the use of humor by male nurses, as the articles only included female nurses, for example an empirical study based on interviews conducted in Sweden.

Full textShortness of breath is a common symptom of serious illnesses producing multidimensional and complex experiences. Breathlessness is very limiting - physically and psychologically - for patients around the clock. The purpose of the study was therefore to highlight the patient's experience of breathlessness. Method: The study was conducted as a general literature study with inductive approach. Literature was searched systematically. Result: Nine scientific articles formed the outcome. Using meaningful extracts six subcategories were formed in two main categories: Attack on life and Managing life. Conclusion: Breathlessness contributed to severe limitations in life. Patients felt their entire way of life was affected even beyond the acute phase. Fear or ignorance created uncertainty among patients who perceived themselves as inadequate and helpless. This, combined with shortcomings in health care, contributed to patients experiencing shame. Because breathlessness was always on the patient’s mind, hopelessness and despair were also experienced. The result also described a positive side where patients could handle life through supporting family and relatives, increased knowledge, control and training. Further research how person-centred care can relieve patients’ experiences of breathlessness is needed. New research clearly addressing patients' experiences of breathlessness outside the acute phase is required.

Full textBackground: Professional-patient communication impacts the patients’ health outcome, safety and satisfaction. Earlier research shows a need to further explore patient perspectives of communication as it could make improvements more efficient. Aim: To examine inpatient’s experiences and attitudes towards nurse-patient communication. Method: A systematic review of qualitative studies. Following databases were searched: PubMed, CINAHL and PsycINFO. After searching, checking for relevance and quality assessment, ten articles were examined with inductive content analysis. Results: The patients described communication as a centerpiece of their care. Kindness, empathy and respect was considered key elements in establishing effective communication as it made the patient feel safe and acknowledged. Individualized information was highly requested by the patients, as well as being involved in decision-making. Questionable attitudes and inadequate information/involvement made the patients feel abandoned and in some cases, especially during nursing care, it caused a sense of violated personal integrity. Registered nurses that were busy and/or failed to make patients feel acknowledged and understood made some of the patients omit signs of deterioration or less likely to approach them when in need of nursing care. Conclusion: Patient harm is reduced or prevented when nurses are able to establish effective communication based on kindness, empathy and respect towards the patient. When effective communication fails, patients are likely to feel abandoned and/or miss-treated.

Full textDenna studie hade som syfte att undersöka patienters upplevelser av bemötande när de sökte vård på akutmottagningar. Resultatet visade att patienter hade svårigheter i att tala om varför de sökte vård, då personalen upplevdes som ifrågasättande och nonchalanta. Patienterna kände sig bortglömda i väntrummet då det var långa väntetider samt att de inte informerades tillräckligt. Detta resulterade i att känslor av otrygghet, rädsla och oro belystes. De patienter som däremot informerades, uppmärksammades av personalen samt där personalen bjöd in patienten till delaktighet i sitt vårdbesök, upplevde ett gott bemötande. Denna studie visar att patienter upplevde brister i bemötandet på akutmottagningar och att personcentrerad vård värderades högt av patienterna för att känna en trygghet till vården. Att inte bli respektfullt bemött resulterar i ett onödigt lidande för patienten. Vården som bedrivs på akutmottagningen är inriktad på allvarliga skador och åkommor, där personalen har som ansvar att bedöma, sortera och prioritera så att de allvarligaste skadorna hanteras först. En del av sjuksköterskan ansvar på akutmottagningen är att uppmärksamma patientens psykosociala behov, likaledes är hennes ansvar att prioritera patienters fysiska behov. Studiens resultat påvisade att patienter upplevde brister kring dessa ansvarsområden. Patienter som sökte vård på akutmottagningen upplevde ångest och oro då de saknade kunskap om sitt förändrade hälsotillstånd och var beroende av kontinuerlig information. För att ge patienten en positiv upplevelse av sitt besök så kan personcentrerad vård vara en ingång. Personcentrerad vård innebär en kärnkompetens för sjuksköterskor och belyser vikten av att tillsammans med patienten bilda en relation och ett partnerskap för att patienten ska kunna uppleva delaktighet i sin egen vård. Genom delaktighet kan patienten på ett bättre sätt hantera och begripa sin situation. Den metod som använts är en litteraturstudie. Kvalitativ forskning har granskats för att skapa en överblick av tidigare forskningsresultat kring detta ämne. Studiens syfte var att undersöka patienters upplevelser och därför valdes kvalitativ forskning, då denna forskningsmetod rekommenderas för granskningar av upplevelser.

Full textBackground: The Integrated Palliative care Outcome Scale (IPOS) is intended to provide a multidimensional view of patients’ concerns. IPOS can be used with the purpose of assessing patients’ perceptions of their functional status and wellbeing. Few studies have undertaken the patients’ perspective when exploring experiences of using IPOS. Aim: To explore patients’ experiences of using the Integrated Palliative care Outcome Scale during specialized palliative home care. Method: The study adopted a qualitative approach with an interpretive descriptive design. The patients were recruited from three different specialized palliative home care settings. Interviews were performed with 10 patients, seven men and three women, with a mean age of 72 years. A majority of the patients were diagnosed with incurable cancer. Data were analysed using interpretive description, as described by Sally Thorne. Results: Patients experienced that the use of IPOS entailed secure care as it facilitated nurses in making accurate assessments of patient care needs. IPOS helped to plan the care according to patients’ specific needs, making them feel confident that the care provided was tailored to them, giving a sense of security. Patients expressed that IPOS facilitated discussions between them and the nurse about care needs. They believed that using IPOS enabled opportunities for reflection on their wellbeing and life situation. Doing so with a nurse present was enriching, providing new perspectives. Conclusions: Patients experienced that using IPOS was beneficial. It can be concluded that IPOS provide an effective way to enable person-centred care and with advantage could be used in specialized palliative home care.

Full textBackground: According to the Swedish patient law, the patient is to be regarded as a resource in his or her own care and is expected to be participating in reasoning and decisions. The patient is entitled to self-determination and have the right to decide the level of participation that he or she wishes. Increased knowledge of what affects the willingness to participate is required to promote a response from healthcare professionals who will benefit the patient and provide a better healthcare experience. Purpose: The purpose was to describe which factors that affect the patient's participation. Method: A literature review based on 12 scientific articles with a qualitative approach was made and analyzed with an inductive approach based on Friberg's five-step model. These 12 articles are taken from CINAHL, PsycINFO and manual searches. Result: The result is presented in two categories and five subcategories. The first category is the Patient with the subcategories Self-Initiative, Confidence in Health Care, Patient Age and Family Support. The other category is Healthcare Personnel with the subcategories Treatment from healthcare professionals and Investing time for the patient. Conclusion: Participation leads to better care experience. Own initiatives, support and affirmative treatment are factors that affect the patient's participation.

Full textBackground: The Health Care Act emphasizes the importance of the care being designed and implemented together with the patient as far as possible. In person-centered care, the person is at the center and participates in the design of their care and treatment. In self-admission, the person assesses the need for hospitalization himself. Aim: The purpose was to investigate patients' experiences of the treatment model self-admission. Method: A systematic literature reviews according to Whittemore and Knafl integrative method has been used. Qualitative articles were obtained from the databases PubMed, Cinahl and PsychInfo. A total of nine articles were included in the result. Results: The analysis resulted in two main themes and seven categories that illustrate the patient's experience of self-admission. The structure of self-admission, in which patients emphasized the importance of safety and preventive measures in mental illness. Patients' experiences of the care environment and the influence in their care and treatment. In the second theme, the patients' experiences of the staff's competence in self-admission, it experienced the attitudes and lack of knowledge of those working with the intervention. It also illustrates the approach of the staff in connection with self-admission. Conclusion: The literature review may be supportive to staff working in psychiatric care and who have the opportunity to work with self-admissions or wish to gain more knowledge about patients' experiences of the treatment model in accordance with person-centered care.

Full textBackground: The elderly is a group that will be a major part of the population in the future. With increasing age, the risk of suffering from one or more diseases increases, which will place higher demands on healthcare. Swedish law states that healthcare has an obligation to promote patient integrity, participation and self-determination, but this is invalid in the care of the elderly. Many complex illnesses in an elderly person necessitate nursing based on the patient's individual needs. Person-centered nursing is about a partnership between the individual and healthcare staff, where the individual is at the center of care. Aim: To highlight the elderly patient's experience of care based on a person-centered perspective. Method: A literature review was conducted and the data was found in the databases CINAHL and PubMed, 13 articles with qualitative method were selected. Result: The results showed that there were similarities and differences in how the elderly patient experiences their care. These experiences can be divided into three main categories: self-determination, participation and integrity. The elderly patient had a longing for independence and self-determination, however, this was reversed due to a lack of time and competence shortage. The elderly had a desire to be involved in their care, where the relationship and communication were an important basis for creating participation. Many of the elderly did not feel confirmed as a unique individual of nursing staff. Conclusion: In order to promote the role of the elderly in their care, must a holistic perspective and a person-centered approach be applied, where the elderly is respected as a unique individual. With the older individual at the heart of his care, his right to self-determination, participation and integrity is strengthened, which in turn can lead to an increased quality of life.

Full textIn palliative care, communication is a central concept. Communication can have several purposes, one of which is to create relationship. The overall goal of person-centered communication is to actively listen to the patient's story and identify the person with their viability and own resources. Listening is not a passive process but involves listening to both experiences and feelings in the situation. To hear what is said and how it is said. With various ways of actively listening, an important therapeutic intervention is created, as communication can alleviate symptoms, create understanding of information and the conditions for participation and co-determination. A good communication creates hope, leads to security and helps the patient to feel understood and respected. The purpose of the study was to describe the meaning of person-centered communication in palliative care from the perspective of the patient and the nurse. A literature review was chosen as a method for investigating the state of knowledge in the area. Qualitative articles were chosen when the study wanted to describe in-depth knowledge from the patient's and the nurse's perspective. The result showed that person-centered communication gave a feeling of security, respect, participation and symptom relief to the patient. When patients were not listened to or met with disinterest, they felt invisible and less worthy, which caused a suffering. For the nurse, person-centered communication meant an increased understanding of the patient as a person and an overall picture of the patient's situation. Person-centered communication gave the nurse increased knowledge, job satisfaction and professional pride, but could also mean that they felt insecure in their professional role and experienced shortcomings in competence. Both experienced and inexperienced nurses stated in the studies that they needed skills enhancement and education. It also emerged in the studies that culture had significance for the possibility of conducting person-centered conversations. Within inpatient care, limited spaces and time were described as obstacles to person-centered conversations. Nurses in hospice and palliative units instead described both a permissive culture and an environment that facilitated this calls. Patient and nurse meet as human beings, but in different roles and under different conditions. By being actively present in the meeting and listening to the patient's story, the patient is confirmed as a person and the dignity is maintained. The meeting creates a mutual understanding of each other's knowledge, expectations and conditions. The patient is involved and receives a greater responsibility and influence over their own care. The conclusion is that person-centered communication in palliative care is an important basis for experiencing dignity, security, meaningfulness and personal development for both the patient and the nurse and a prerequisite for the care being person-centered.

Full textBackground: Millions of people are yearly diagnosed with a cancer disease. The cells in the body can for different reasons mutate and become tumours. If the tumour is determined as bad it’s considered cancerous. The responsible physician takes a stand if the cancer disease is treatable or if the treatment should be palliative. The palliative care should be shaped from the terms set by the patient. The patient ought to receive care from healthcare staff, where they respect the individual and treat them in a kind manner, so called person centered care. The patient is to be encouraged to have the freedom to control their own life, the right to information, preserve their integrity and receive adequate alleviation of symptoms. Aim: A literature review over how patients with a cancer disease experience the encounters with healthcare professionals in inpatient palliative wards. Method: The databases CINAHL Complete and MEDLINE with Full text were used for information retrieval. The retrieved information was audited and approved by both authors. Results: The results highlight patient experiences of the professional-patient relation. The study resulted in two themes. The first theme: Healthcare Professional’s approachment with two subtopics: Presence and commitment and trust and respect. The second theme: Communication and information, without subtopics. Discussion: The results were discussed on the basis of Rosemarie Rizzo Parse's theory after the subjects trust and mistrust were identified. Patient experienced that involvement, honesty and benevolence were important. The experiences were discussed based on Parse's theory about Human Becoming and other literature.

Full textSome cardiovascular events can lead to sudden cardiac arrest caused by a life-threatening arrhythmia. Today these patients are offered an ICD that has been shown to increase survival and give the patient the opportunity for a continued active life. Despite the fact that the ICD gives the patient good conditions to live as usual, there is an imminent worry and fear that has a negative impact on the quality of life. The aim was to examine which factors affect quality of life in persons living with an ICD. A literature review with a systematic method was used where 17 articles were included and analyzed with an integrated method. The articles were retrieved from databases CINAHL and PubMed with the keywords Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator and Quality of Life. Only quantitative articles published between 2010-2020 were included. Five categories of factors that affect quality of life in persons with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator were identified in the result. These were person related factors, therapy related factors, care related factors, time related factors and device related factors. In conclusion, quality of life in persons with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator is affected by several different factors, thus this patient group has a lot to gain from person centered care. For example, the results show that men and women can benefit in different amounts from interventions such as physical training or psychological support where quality of life in men seem to benefit more from physical training whereas quality of life in women seem to benefit more from psychological support. Age was another factor that affected quality of life in this patient group where older persons more often stated having a better quality of life than younger persons. These factors and their impact on quality of life in persons with an ICD should be studied further to better understand how care of this patient group can become more person centered in order to promote a good quality of life.

Full textIn modern nursing research, the concept of the environment has acquired an ever broader anddeeper dimension where people in their environment are viewed from a holistic perspective.Person-centered care is a way of working that is based on the patient as a person who cannotbe reduced to his or her illness alone. As a caregiver, being aware of the physicalenvironment, people's actions and how the organizational philosophy is structured creates agreater opportunity to be able to work person-centered. Person-centeredness is what thepatient experiences, while person-centered care is the way of working that generates thepatient's experience of person-centeredness. Person-centered climate is the environment inwhich person-centered care takes place. The relationships that are formed between the patient,care staff, relatives and technology, as well as the environment's atmosphere, surroundingsand settings, are decisive for whether the patient will experience the environment as caring oruncaring. The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of person-centered care amongstpeople who have been cared for in a high-tech care environment in connection with heartsurgery and heart failure. The method was a non-experimental cross-sectional study conducted in high-tech cardiaccare. Data collection was performed using two patient-reported measures: Being TakenSeriously Questionnaire - Patient version (BTSQ-P) and Person-Centered ClimateQuestionnaire - Patient version (PCQ-P). The results showed that the patients felt that the care was person-centered based on beingtaken seriously and that it included a person-centered climate. The regression analysis showedthat a safe climate is the most important component for the feeling of being taken seriously. The conclusion was that high-tech cardiac care not only generates good medical results butcan also contribute to person-centered care. Furthermore, we learn from the study results withthe knowledge that a safe climate is the most important factor in the person-centered climate,for the patient's experience of person-centering.

Full textBackground: Patients who are in need of emergency care visit the emergency department. It is a fast paced unit with a high turnover of patients involving quick decisions and actions. Nursing staff examine patients and through triage, care needs can be determined and treatment may be initiated. To ensure good care there are various laws that everyone in the care team must follow. The care team consists of a number of professions for which the nurse is responsible and leads the nursing care. Nursing aims, among other things, for promoting health, counteract injury and focus on the whole person. It has been noted that there is a lack of information about patients’ experience of nursing, and in order to identify areas for improvement and establish improvements, patients’ experiences need to be further illustrated. Aim: To illustrate patients’ experiences of nursing care at the emergency department. Method: A literature review where the result is based on 14 scientific articles with qualitative approach retrieved from the databases Cinahl and PubMed. The results were analysed based on qualitative content analysis. Results: The included articles generated three themes: the importance of being seen, the importance of present and competent healthcare professionals, and the importance of good communication with healthcare professionals. A positive experience of nursing required qualified healthcare professionals who took care of the patient´s person-centered care needs. Conclusion: Patients experienced good nursing care when competent healthcare professionals with a respectful approach provided person-centered care. Deficiencies in communication and lack of meeting the patients’ fundamental care needs led to dissatisfaction. Keywords: Emergency department, Experience, Nursing care, Patient perspective, Person-centered care.

Full textBackground: Person-centered care is a concept that characterize high-quality care, both internationally and nationally. The main focus in person-centered care is getting to know the person. Nurses are responsible for enforcing laws and governing documents by offering patients continuity, security and safety in care. Patients feel that it is important to be seen as a whole and confirmed as the person behind the patient. Aim: To describe nurses' experiences regarding person-centered care. Method: A general literature review that includes 13 articles of qualitative approach and two articles of quantitative approach. Results: Caring for patients from a holistic approach by utilizing person-centered care, is something that nurses find important in forming a genuine care relationship. Nurses, based on their experiences, understand that communication has a significant foundation in the clinical environment and for person-centered care. On the other hand, a stressful workplace can have a negative effect on nurses' attitudes during person-centered care. Conclusion: Nurses possess knowledge of person-centered care but the knowledge will constantly need to be supplemented and developed within the nursing profession. If managers don’t eliminate obstacles in the work environment such as a high workload, nurses cannot fully implement person-centered care.

Full textIntroduction: Dementia diseases are described as a public disease where a person falls ill as often as every three seconds in the world, and in Sweden the estimated social cost is almost 62.9 billion SEK yearly. In accordance with the Patient Act, all care must be provided in consultation with the patient, which can be difficult when the person has a cognitive impairment. Aim: The aim was to describe the participation of people with cognitive disabilities and their relatives when deciding on life support measures. Method: Literature review with a descriptive design based on ten qualitative original articles collected from PubMed and CINAHL that were quality reviewed. The analysis of the articles was based on Friberg's model for content analysis. Results: It emerged that people with cognitive disabilities have different views on how actively they want to be involved in decisions about life-sustaining measures. There were those who believed that decisions should be made by caregivers and not by themselves, but there were also those who wanted to be more active in decisions about life-sustaining measures. Those who wanted to be more active in the decisions had in common that they wanted to make it easier for family and relatives as they were aware that the disease would one day make them unable to convey their wishes. Conclusion: Persons with cognitive disabilities have different views on how involved they want to be in decisions about life-sustaining measures. The result indicates that a person-centered approach among healthcare professionals makes it easier for persons with cognitive disabilities to convey their desire for participation in decisions about life-sustaining measures. Relatives of persons with cognitive impairment experienced a need for training for care staff in conversational techniques aimed at the patient group as well as various diseases that cause cognitive impairment.

Full textBackground An ileo-, colo-, or urostomy means that a surgical artificial opening in the abdomen removes bodily fluids into a bag located on the outside of the body. The most common causes of stoma are cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. The stoma involves changes and limitations in the bodily functions as well as other aspects of the person's life. Experiences are subjective and changeable and thus person-centered care can be important in the treatment of patients. Aim The aim was to shed light on adults experiences of living with a stoma. Method This non-systematic literature review was based on 19 scientific articles. Thirteen of these 19 articles have been implemented with qualitative methods, four quantitative methods and two articles with mixed methods. The articles that form the basis for the literature review results have been obtained with the help of a structured search strategy in the PubMed and CINAHL databases. The scientific articles have been individually quality reviewed based on Sophiahemmet University's review template. Subsequently, an integrated data analysiswas performed and involved a process in three steps. The three steps then led to the categories of the presented result. Results The results of the literature review describe that the experiences of adult ostomy carriers were of great variation and the life adjustment that ostomy carriers underwent was a changing process. Four categories were identified: The stomas impact on everyday life, experiences of the ostomy over time, relatives support and ostomy carriers experiences of care staff. Conclusions Experiences are unique to each person and can change over time. It is important that the nurse and other care staff understand and consider people's unique experiences in the planning and implementation of nursing. Nursing includes adapted and person-centered information, preparation and understanding of the transition that an ostomy carrier faces. This had a direct impact on experiences.

Full textBackground: Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), is a multiresistant bacterium that grows extensively throughout the world. MRSA is one of healthcare's biggest hygiene-related problems that are increasing around the world. MRSA spreads through both direct and indirect contact. When caring for MRSA positive patients, there are specific guidelines on health care routines, which means that the patient is isolated from other patients and that contact with healthcare professionals is limited. Aim: The aim of this study is to describe how patients who are infected with MRSA experience hospital care. Methods: Twelve qualitative articles, one with mixed method and two quantitative articles, form the basis of this literature review. Results: Repeated experiences in patients were that they felt dirty and contagious. In connection with these feelings, there were also guilt and shame. In contact with care, patients experienced feelings of stigmatization and that healthcare professionals treated them as if they were infected with plague. Lack of information about MRSA and lack of knowledge and understanding of staff were also recurring experiences in patients. Conclusion: There are lack of knowledge of MRSA in both patients and healthcare professionals. Lack of knowledge in healthcare professionals can have effects on how patients are treated when they get medical care. This may affect the patient's mental mood.

Full textAmbulance-nurses meet patients on a daily basis in different situations. Every situation is unique and places high demands on the ambulance nurse’s communicative ability, both non- verbally and verbally. Good communication is a prerequisite for a good care relation between patient and carer and has proven to be a central part of achieving person-centered care. Deficient communication in healthcare is one of the most common complaints from patients and has been shown to be able to lead to inadequate care, increased risks of adverse events and also increased socio-economical costs. The aim was to identify which factors according to the patient are perceived to affect the communication in the encounter with ambulance personnel in the prehospital environment. The method that was chosen was a literature review where searches for scientific articles were made in the databases Cinahl and PubMed. 16 qualitative scientific studies were used in this literature review after they were quality assured and analyzed. The results emerged in four main categories which, according to the patient, were perceived to influence the communication in the meeting with ambulance personnel: Provide security, Confirmation, Dialogue, Information. Under the category Provide safety three subcategories emerged: The encounter, Paralinguistic elements and Empathy. The conclusion was that the key factors, which according to patients were perceived to affect the communication with ambulance personnel were vital in enabling person-centered care and increased patient safety. Further research within this field is necessary to ensure which factors influence on the communication in the encounter with the ambulance personnel in the prehospital environment.

Full textBackground: Migration has increased in recent years, therefore increasing the need for interpreters in healthcare. Communication between nurses and patients is crucial for a good relationship, something that is hindered when a language barrier is present. As of now there is no Swedish law that enforces the need of an interpreter in healthcare settings, however there is a law stating the right to equal care despite background. The patient's experience of interpreter use is one of the main foundations to achieve patient centered care. Aim: The aim of this study was to compile the patients’ experience using an interpreter in healthcare. Method: This study was a literature review with a qualitative approach. The databases that were used during this literature review were Cinalh and Psycinfo. Quality of the studies were assessed using SBU:s template for quality analysis. The result was analyzed with a qualitative content analysis specific for literature studies, to identify relevant categories and subcategories. Results: The results were based on 10 qualitative studies. The results are presented under three main categories: Limitations with communication and time, Patient’s expectations from the interpreter and Trust and confidentiality of the interpreter. The results showed that patients had a lack of trust in interpreters in regard to lack of confidentiality and the interpreter’s professionalism. The limitation with communication impacted the care for patients with a need for an interpreter, among other things owing to difficulties booking an interpreter and time pressure. Conclusion: The interpreter's work of facilitating communication was crucial for person centered care and patient safety. There was a need for certified interpreters in order to ensure person centered care. The interpreter was crucial in order to enforce the patients participation in their healthcare, but many patients were uncomfortable with having the interpreter in the room. The nurse has a responsibility to meet the patients’ needs. Relatives were used partly due to the lack of interpreters, more certified interpreters are needed in order to avoid this. The need for further knowledge for nurses in regards to interpreter use within healthcare was identified through this study.

Full textBackground: A good working environment require a positive management where collaboration between colleagues and managers function in an environment where employees have opportunity to control the workload and work rate to some extent. Emergency care is often stressful with a high workload. There are deficiencies in patient safety, person-centered care and risks of medical errors. The nurse’s work is extensive and includes practical assignments that regulates by laws and regulations. Their work are also based on the patient’s participation, safety of care and being attentive to what patients and relatives say. Aim: The aim is to describe nurses’ experiences of work environment at two emergency units. Method: The essay is a quantitative empirical study. Questionnaires have been used as data collection in MAVA (medical emergency unit) and KAVA (surgical emergency unit). Results: 31 nurses answered the questionnaire. The average professional experience was relatively low. Shortcoming in staffing indicated a work environment that does not promote patient safety and person-centered care. The work environment is stressful and the possibility for recovery is small. Conclusion: The work environment is difficult at MAVA and KAVA as nurses handle emergencies with patients in relation to lack of resources. Good nursing care, patient safety and person-centered care should be maintained despite the shortcomings. Therefore, improvements and greater access to resources and competence are required.

Full textBackground: When a position is taken that the patient no longer benefits from life-prolonging treatment, the patient switches to palliative care. The goal of palliative care is to provide quality of life. Palliative care is based on four cornerstones: communication and relationship, cooperation, support for relatives, and symptom relief. Purpose: To describe the nurse's experience of caring for palliative care patients at home. Method: In the Literature Review, 14 articles were used to compile the results. A qualitative method with an inductive approach was used. The databases used were CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO and were analyzed according to Friberg's analysis process Results: Two themes and six subthemes emerged in the analysis. The nurses' goal was to offer as good care as possible. To do this, it was necessary to obtain a relationship with both the patient and his relatives. Another important factor is that multi-professional work should work. Conclusion: Nurses have an important role in providing person-centered care for palliative care patients. To be able to perform person-centered care, teamwork needs to work better. Lack of cooperation between the healthcare profession is something that can improve.

Full textBackground: To live with heart failure means living with a severe cronic disease, this requires a lot of the patients. The consequence of low compliance can result in worsened symptoms which leads to hospitalization. To improve patients’ compliance alternative strategies needs to be highlighted. The background in this study contains four parts: heart failure and its treatment, health literacy as a concept and its usability, low compliance and low health literacy, and a nursing perspective. Aim: The aim was to explore perceived reasons for low compliance in patients with heart failure. Method: The study was conducted as a literature review with a qualitative approach, with a focus on patients with a heart failure and their perspective. The database search was performed with searches in CINAHL and PubMed. 12 articles were reviewed with a template by SBU. A simple form of content analysis was used for analysing the articles. Result: Patients experienced that it was difficult to understand their disease, they felt a large responsibility were imposed on them, they experienced a lack of support, inadequate information and experienced inexplicit communication with the health care. Patients also experienced difficulty changing habits and to miss out on social occasions because of the limitations the recommendations imposed. All this led to low compliance. The results were presented in four themes: to not understand one’s disease, experience of a lack of support, experience of inadequate communication and information, and experience of insufficient wellbeing. Conclusion: The results show the difficulties that patients experience when living with heart failure. The four themes were discussed from a health literacy perspective, a nursing perspective and patient-centered care. The study highlights the patient perspective on reasons for low compliance but also how the nurse can influence patients to increase their compliance. Health literacy and patient-centered care are discussed as alternative ways to reach patients with low compliance.

Full textBackground: A nurse anesthetist has to be able to create a good individual relationship with their patient, in an environment that is both highly technological and often far beyond what the patient is used to. In the perioperative care, the meeting with the patient and the nurse is often short and intense, with a lot of things happening at once. This place high demands on the nurse´s competence in anesthetic caring. Purpose: To illustrate what characterizes a good interaction between patient and nurse anesthetist pre- and intraoperatively. Method: A systematic literature review with qualitative approach where the results were analyzed using manifest and latent content analysis. A total of 11 articles were analyzed. Results: The analysis resulted in the theme see-listen-feel, that was built upon the two categories interpersonal factors, inner factors and outer factors. These, in turn built on eight subcategories; communication, within sight and reach, preparation and personal knowledge, participation, responsibility, trust, having time and caring in a technological environment. Conclusion: The nurse anesthetist must work from a person-centered approach where the care is adapted to each unique patient. This is done by seeing the patient´s needs, listening to their wishes and getting to know their patient´s personality and desires. It also requires the nurse anesthetist to be able to see beyond the technological environment she is working in and share her attention between the medical tasks that has to be done and the interaction the patient needs to feel safe and confirmed during the perioperative period.

Full textBackground: Reports show that the number of elderly people in Sweden is increasing, which means that the elderly as a patient group are becoming more prevalent in health care. According to IVO, caring behaviour is now the third most common cause of notification in the healthcare system. A lack of scientific support can be one reason, which can make it more difficult to understand what caring behaviour is, as we cannot seek scientific support and evidence for what an optimal and professional caring behaviour. Consequently, it is important that the advanced nurse practitioner understands what caring behaviour means and its importance in the care of the elderly patient, to build a trusting care relationship. Aim: The purpose of this study is to shed light on the advanced nurse practitioner experiences of caring behaviour when meeting with the elderly in health care. Method: The study was conducted as a qualitative interview study with inductive approach. An interview guide was created and contact was made with participants based on an appropriate selection. Eight experienced advanced nurse practitioners working in primary care, home based health care and inpatient care were interviewed. The data collected was analyzed using content analysis focusing on the manifest and latent content. Results: From the content analysis, a theme emerged: Use sure instinct in the meeting with elderly, divided in four categories: The art of caring behaviour; Understanding of aging; The elder as co-creator; Life skills in the care service, as well as thirteen sub categories. The results of this study show that the good caring behaviour means exploring and listening to the elderly patient's needs and wishes based on sure instinct and a person-centered approach. This was based on the experiences from meetings between the advanced nurse practitioner and elderly people. Conclusion: The number of elderly people is increasing in the society and more elderly are in need of health care. Therefore, it is important to have an understanding of, and knowledge of, the importance of the caring behaviour in the meeting with the elderly patient. The results show that the advanced nurse practitioner's experience facilitates and promotes the care of the elderly patient, which creates a prerequisite for being attentive and responsive. In this way, experience lays the foundation for the advanced nurse practitioner's ability and competence to care for the elderly. The experienced advanced nurse practitioner has therefore developed a skill in active listening and understanding of the patient – with intuition and fingerspitzengefühl, she feels and captures the patient's needs, so that she could provide person centered care.

Full textBackground: About 2 % of the Swedish population suffer from heart failure, which corresponds to about 200 000 people. Globally, 26 million people suffer from heart failure. Heart failure has a greater impact on the quality of life than many other chronic diseases. Patients are affected both mentally, physically and socially. The prognosis for heart failure patients is poor, 23 % by newly diagnosed heart failure patients will die within one year. Healthcare costs for heart failure patients amounted to SEK 7.7 billion in 2017, which corresponded to 2.7 % of Sweden's total healthcare costs. Aim: The aim of this literature review was to describe patients’ experiences of living with heart failure. Method: A literature review. Research articles has been collected from the Cinahl and PubMed databases. The results are based on 15 research articles, 14 qualitative and one mixed method article. Results: The patients’ experiences of living with heart failure could be divided into six main categories: Coping strategies, physical impact, psychiatric impact, social impact, meeting with health care and patient knowledge. Although heart failure is a somatic disease state, several patients experienced that the heart failure had an extensive impact on mental health. Conclusion: Heart failure has an impact on the patient in several ways, and it is individual how the affected person experiences his or her situation. By the healthcare staff applying a person-centered approach, where the care is based on the unique patient's story and is designed in collaboration with the patient, the self-care ability and thus also the quality of life is strengthened.

Full textBackground: Person-centered nursing is something that attaches great importance to today's healthcare. With this, nurses become more responsible by focusing on the patient. Traditional nursing handovers are performed without the patient's attendance while there is a reporting method that includes the patient, which is bedside nursing handover. Bedside nursing handover is relatively new and research has primarily examined the nurses' perspective. In addition, traditional nursing handover are not in accordance with the laws governing health care today. Aim: The aim was to illuminate the patient's experience of bedside nursing handover in the field of primary care. Method: A literature study with 10 qualitative studies was used, which was quality-reviewed. The results analysis was done using a qualitative method. Results: Generally, the patients experienced active participation, while also wishing to see more involvement while others appreciated a more passive role. The language that nurses used during the handover were perceived as difficult to understand. Bedside nursing handover enabled patients to gain more knowledge about their care and the nurses' work. Patients perceived that nurses protected their privacy while other patients experienced that nurses did not pay attention to the patient as a person. Patients explained that they felt more secure with their care as they knew that the information from the previous nurse had been handed over to the oncoming nurse. Patients felt that they were treated as a person primarily and a patient secondly. Conclusion: Since patients experienced bedside nursing handover as inclusive, the method of handover between nurses can be seen as an alternative to the traditional nursing handover in care since it is updated in accordance with the Patient Act. Patients did not experience integrity as a concern, as previous research has speculated as problematic. More research on the patient's experience of bedside nursing handover is needed as research is lacking.

Full textBackground: Within the radiographers' profession, efficiency of examinations is of great importance to keep up with patient flows. In these contexts, patients can easily be forgotten. Person- and patient-centered care have become more relevant in recent years, with person-centeredness being a part of the profession's goals, which leads to a need for increased awareness of the concepts and their differences. Purpose: The study's purpose was to find if radiographers are aware of whether they work person- or patient-centered, whether they know the difference between these two concepts and whether this is followed up either through education, lectures or workplace meetings. Method: A qualitative semi-structured interview study was conducted with open questions. Interviews were conducted with 15 radiographers at two hospitals. The interviews were analyzed with inductive manifest content analysis with regards to domains, sub-themes and themes. Results: Most informants had some knowledge regarding the concept of patient-centeredness from their education or workplace. A few informants had heard of the concept of personcenteredness but for many it was a new concept. The informants did not know any clear difference between the two concepts and often lacked information regarding the concepts from their departments. Conclusion: The radiographers' lack of knowledge regarding the concept of person-centeredness shows that the profession's goal of person-centered care is far from being achieved in practice. Through further information the consciousness of the concepts can increase. Lack of time was the biggest obstacle for the radiographers to be able to work with patients' need in mind.
