Patienters oplevelse af relationen til sygeplejersken på en palliativ sygehusafdeling -- sygeplejerskens lindring af den patientoplevede lidelse. (Norwegian)

Background: When patients are admitted to palliative care wards, relieving suffering is the nursing objective. The nurse-patient-relationship is decisive for this relief, but it's challenged in hospital services. Aim: To describe the patients experience regarding the nurse-patient-relationship on a palliative care ward, focusing on their preferences. Method: Three semistructured interviews were analyzed based on Reflective Lifeworld Research. Three patients from a palliative care ward were included. Findings: The essence shows the patients' need "to be embraced by the personality and the professionalism of the nurse, in a united encounter with the suffering". This is elaborated through three constituents: "The need for attentive time in a busy and routine-driven work environment", "the caring elements are visible but not always followed through" and "the execution of tasks are obvious, but also fundamental for a trusting relationship". Conclusion: The nurse should personally and professionally interact with the patient, to help relieve their suffering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Baggrund: Når patienter indlægges på palliative sygehusafdelinger, er lindring af lidelse den sygeplejefaglige målsætning. Sygepleje-patient-relationen er afgørende for lindringen, men er udfordret i hospitalsvæsenet. Formål: At belyse patienters oplevelse af relationen til sygeplejersken på en palliativ sygehusafdeling, og beskrive præferencerne til den lindrende relation. Metode: Reflective Lifeworld Research er valgt som metodologisk ramme for gennemførsel og analyse af semistrukturerede interviews, hvor tre patienter på en palliativ sygehusafdeling er inkluderet. Fund: Relationens essens viser sig som patienters behov for "at blive omfavnet af sygeplejerskens person og faglighed i et fælles møde med lidelsen". Essensen uddybes gennem tre konstituenter: "Når der er brug for nærværende tid i en travl og rutinepræget praksis", "når omsorgens elementer er synlige, men ikke altid følges til dørs" og "når opgaveudførelsen er en selvfølge og samtidig fundamentet for tilliden i samspillet". Konklusion: Sygeplejersker må investere personlige og faglige kompetencer i relationen, hvis patienter skal opleve lidelsen lindret. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
