Nurses’ experiences with palliative care in the end of life (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Palliativ vård tillämpas när patienter inte längre svarar på kurativ behandling och fokuserar på att förbättra livskvaliteten under livets slutskede. Sjuksköterskans uppgift är att ge en god omvårdnad, vilket de kan göra med hjälp av den palliativa vårdens 4 hörnstenar. Tidigare forskning visar att sjuksköterskor upplever en brist på kunskap och erfarenhet vilket kan leda till onödigt lidande. Syfte: Att undersöka sjuksköterskors erfarenhet av palliativ vård i livets slutskede. Metod: En litteraturöversikt baserad på 10 vetenskapliga artiklar, vilka analyserades genom induktiv tematisk innehållsanalys. Resultat: Det identifierades två teman, ”Att ge palliativ omvårdnad och stöd i livets slutskede” och ”Reflektion av yrkesrollen och faktorer som påverkar denna” samt fyra subteman. Slutsats: Personcentrerad vård är centralt i livets slutskede. Sjuksköterskor erfar att strukturella hinder som utbildnings-, personal- och tidsbrist påverkar deras möjligheter att hantera svåra situationer och upprätthålla en god vårdkvalitet. Det krävs mer forskning för att undersöka hur sjuksköterskor hanterar svåra situationer samt hur detta kan förbättras.

Abstract [en]

Background: Palliative care is applied when the patient is no longer responding to curative treatment and focuses on giving a better quality of life. The nurse’s task is to give good nursing care, which can be done with the 4 cornerstones of palliative care. Previous research shows that nurses feel they lack knowledge and experience which can lead to needless suffering. Aim: To explore nurses experiences with palliative care in the end of life. Method: A literature review based on 10 scientific papers, which were analyzed using an inductive thematic content analysis. Results: Two themes were identified, “Providing palliative care and support at the end of life” and “Reflection of the professional role and the factors that affects it”, as well as four subthemes. Conclusion: Person centered care is central at the end of life. Nurses experience that structural barriers such as lack of education, staffing and time affects their ability to manage difficult situations and feelings that arise in end-of-life care, and therefore struggle to maintain a good quality care. More research is needed to explore how nurses cope with difficult situations and how this can be improved.
