Abstract:
People with dementia are hospitalized for a variety of reasons. The combination of dementia with additional health conditions creates a unique challenge to caregivers in acute care settings. There is a dearth of information available to provide guidance to the nursing staff caring for these patients. This integrated review of the literature examined the experiences of hospitalization from the perspective of the older adult with dementia, the family caregiver, and the patient care staff. Results showed a limited body of literature that addressed hospital experiences of people with dementia and

Abstract:
<p>To receive a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer can lead to a tremendous change in a person’s life. Thoughts regarding death may cause a personal crisis which can have negative influences on the patient’s social, mental and spiritual state. Most people with pancreatic cancer are diagnosed in a late stage of the disease. Therefore, palliative care is often one of the options that are offered to patients. Moreover, to be able to provide patients with nursing care and tend to their needs, it is very important to see them as unique individuals. The purpose with the literature review was to illustra

Abstract:
Background: In order to provide good diabetes care it is important for the health care professionals to share patients’ personal understanding of living with diabetes, which differs from a professional understanding of the illness. Patients’ beliefs about health, illness, control and cure are predictive of the outcome of lifestyle changes and pharmacological treatment. Narratives about illness could be used to elucidate what people believe to be central to their experience of an illness and its management.

Abstract:
The 1999 Institute of Medicine report, To Err is Human, raised awareness about the multitude of errors that occur in healthcare. Frequently, errors are not disclosed to patients or their families. While several studies have examined patient and physician perspectives on disclosure, limited research on nurse perspectives exist. In hospitals, nurses are often the last line of defense before errors reach the patient. Because nurses are often present when errors occur, nurses’ experiences with disclosure are integral to understanding the issues that surround the disclosure of errors. The purpose o

Efterfrågan på bassängträning är ibland större än tillgången, vilket kan innebära att sjukgymnasten behöver prioritera vilka patienter som ska få tillgång till bassäng.

The aggression of some psychiatric patients is recognised as a major problem in healthcare circles, both locally and internationally. It creates a significant risk for psychiatric nurses as these nurses spend more time with their patients than nurses from other nursing disciplines.

Little research has been conducted to understand how nurses think when they have to manage aggressive patients. In an attempt to address this problem, the objectiv

Abstract:
Organtransplantation erbjuds till patienter med livshotande organsvikt när det inte finns någon annan medicinsk eller kirurgisk behandling som kan förbättra tillståndet. Att motta ett organ är en livsförändrande upplevelse för en patient. Patienter och deras familj behöver vägledning, medkänsla och stöd från sjuksköterskor. Eftersom en transplantation är ett stort och avancerat kirurgiskt ingrepp behöver patienter omfattande omvårdnadsinsatser innan, under och efter ingreppet. Sjuksköterskans ansvar är att stödja patienter i denna process och därför är det av vikt att studera hur en transplant

Abstract:
I dagens samhälle blir människor allt äldre och sjukare. Antalet människor med diabetes och högt blodtryck ökar successivt i samhället vilket på sikt kommer medföra att fler människor insjuknar i kronisk njursvikt. För patienter som lever med kronisk njursvikt och dialysbehandling kan livskvaliteten påverkas. Det är därför av vikt att sjuksköterskan uppmärksammar patientens livssituation och anpassar omvårdnaden utefter individens behov. Att drabbas av kronisk njursvikt innebär en försämrad eller helt utebliven njurfunktion. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva pa

Abstract:
Professional counselors may choose to increase self-awareness and/or engage in self-care through the use of personal therapy. In particular, counselors may feel reluctant to pursue personal therapy due to stigma related to their professional identity. To date, researchers have paid limited attention to the unique concerns of counselors in personal therapy. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore counselors' experiences and decision-making in seeking personal therapy. I addressed the following questions: What contributes to counselors' decision to seek personal therapy? How

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor berör patienter, ibland med en speciell intention till exempel för att trösta, andra gånger på grund av nödvändighet för att kunna utföra arbetsuppgifter. Dessa två typer av beröring benämns expressiv respektive instrumentell beröring. Beröring har visat sig kunna stärka relationen sjuksköterskor och patienter emellan, samt främja patienters välbefinnande. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att belysa vuxna patienters upplevelser av fysisk beröring inom somatisk vård. Metod: Metoden för studien var en litteraturöversikt.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Den vanligaste smittvägen för hepatit C är genom intravenöst drogmissbruk. Smittöverföring kan även ske via blodtransfusioner eller stickskador i vården. Det finns många fördomar förknippade med sjukdomen och risken är stor att dessa färgar mötet med patienter. Det är viktigt att som vårdpersonal vara medveten om hur den egna synen på sjukdomen kan påverka bemötandet. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa vilka erfarenheter patienter med hepatit C har av bemötandet i vården. Metod: Studien utformades som en allmän litteraturöversikt av tolv kvalitativa artiklar.

This exploratory mixed-methods study examines the experiences of Spanish-speaking patients seeking non-urgent care in an emergency department setting. Emphasis is placed on understanding variables that influence patient satisfaction among this particular special patient population. This study draws from the explanatory models of illness and perspectives of clinically applied anthropology in contributing to the limited body of scholarly work that utilizes ethnographic approaches in clinical spaces to investigate how patients experience seeking emergency care services.

Abstract:
Male nurses can bring energy and knowledge along with diverse beliefs and values to their workplaces. When taking care of dying patients, male ICU nurses may also have an array of issues concerning comfort care, and their unique ways of coping with stress that can accompany such events. Male ICU nurses also have distinct ways for maintaining their well-being and for sustaining their masculine ideals when caring for dying patients and working in a female-dominated environment. Many research studies have focused on how nurses care for dying patients, but few studies have explored the experiences
