Refugees with history of torture and other potentially traumatic events : Experiences in the encounter with health care - a literaturereview (English)
Abstract [en]

Background: Many of the people who have been forced to flee their countries have experienced torture or other potentially traumatic events [PTE]. These experiences can lead to serious health consequences. The care staff experience difficulties in caring for these individuals. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe how refugees with history of torture and other PTE experience the encounter with with healthcare. Method: Literature review with a qualitative methodology that includes eleven articles, through the databases CINAHL and PubMed, which are analyzed through a thematic analysis. Result:Two overarching themes were identified through the analysis; ‘Perceived success factors’ and ‘Perceivedobstacles in care’. These themes had two and four sub-themes respectively. Conclusion: Refugees with experiences of torture and other PTE need to be met with caution before their experiences. This can be achieved in a good caregiver-patient relationship, characterized by caring and trust. However, there seems to be a need for increased knowledge among healthcare staff in meeting this patient group in a person-centered way. In order for these people to receive good care, a well-functioning interaction between all the different actors who are in contact with refugees is also required.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Många av de människor som tvingats fly sina länder har erfarit tortyr eller andra potentiellt traumatiska händelser (potentially traumatic event [PTE]). Dessa erfarenheter kan leda till allvarligakonsekvenser för hälsan. Vårdpersonalen upplever svårigheter i att vårda dessa individer. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva hur flyktingar med erfarenheter av tortyr och andra PTE upplever mötetmed hälso- och sjukvården. Metod: Litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats som inkluderade elva artiklar, genom databaserna CINAHL och PubMed, vilka analyserats genom tematisk analys. Resultat: Två övergripande teman identifierades genom analysen; ‘Upplevda framgångsfaktorer i vården’ och ‘Upplevda hinder i vården’. Dessa teman hade två respektive fyra subteman. Slutsats: Flyktingar med erfarenheter av tortyr och andra potentiellt traumatiska händelser behöver mötas med varsamhet införvad de har varit med om. Detta kan göras bra i en god vårdare-patientrelation, präglad av omtanke och tillit. Det tycks dock finnas ett behov av ökad kunskap hos vårdpersonal i att möta denna patientgrupp på ett personcentrerat sätt. För att dessa personer ska få en god vård krävs även ettvälfungerande samspel mellan alla de olika aktörer som är i kontakt med flyktingar.
