Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Den psykiatriska vården har under de senaste 100 åren utvecklats, däremot har synen på psykisk ohälsa inte följt samma process. Allmänheten ochsjukvården har idag en negativ attityd gentemot personer med psykisk ohälsa på grund av okunskap som resulterar i stigmatisering. Att dettaexisterar i sjukvården är ett problem eftersom det är det största forum dit personer med psykisk ohälsa kan vända sig för hjälp. Syfte: Attbeskriva sjuksköterskestudenters syn på patienter med psykisk ohälsa. Metod: Kvalitativ empirisk studie med semistrukturerade enkätfrågor. Datan analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Det framkom två kategorieravstudenternas svar: hinder för ett gott bemötande och förutsättningar för ett gott bemötande. Det framkomattstudenterna hadeen okunskapom psykisk ohälsaoch en stigmatiserad syn som resulteradei en ojämlik vård. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskestudenterna har en idealisk bild av hur patienter med psykisk ohälsa ska bemötas men är ändå osäkra i mötet med dessa. Osäkerhetenspeglas i en otrygghet i yrkesrollen och grundas i studenternas upplevelser av okunskap kring psykisk ohälsa. Upplevelsen av otrygghet i yrkesrollen skapar brister i omvårdnaden eftersom det då hålls ett störreavstånd gentemot patienter.

Abstract [en]

Background: Over thelast 100 years the psychiatric care has been developed, but the attitudetowards mental illness has not. The public and the health care system today hasa negative attitude towards people with mental illness caused by ignorance resulting in stigma. The existence of stigma in the health caresystem is a problem because it isthe main forum where people with mental illness can turn to for help. Aim:Todescribe nursing students attitudes towards patients with mental illness. Method:Qualitative study with semi-structured questionnaires. The data was analyzed withcontent analysis. Results:The students answers resulted in two categories: Obstacles against good careand conditions for good care. It was revealed that the students had a lack of knowledge about mental illness and a stigmatized attitude which resulted in unequal care. Conclusion:The nursing students have an ideal image of how the patients with mental illness should be cared forbut they still feel insecure. This insecurity is reflected in their profession and is based on the lack of knowledge about mental illness. The feeling of insecurity is causing deficienciesin the caregiving because it creates a bigger distance towards the patients.
