Euthanasia within palliative care, the healthcare professionals experiences : a literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: I Sverige är dödshjälp inte lagligt men ämnet debatteras utifrån olika synsätt samt etiska aspekter. Sjukvårdspersonalens uppgift är att vårda patienter genom att lindra, trösta samt bota men om patienten inte längre vill leva samt efterfrågar dödshjälp ställs sjuksköterskan inför en utmaning. All vård skall bygga på en respekt för patientens autonomi enligt lag.

Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva sjukvårdspersonalens upplevelser samt erfarenheter kring dödshjälp inom palliativ vård.

Metod: En litteraturöversikt gjordes enligt Fribergs (2017) metod. De databaser författarna använde inför sökningen av vetenskapliga artiklar var följande: CINAHL Complete, PsycINFO samt PubMed . I arbetet inkluderades tio stycken kvalitativa, då författarna bedömde dessa svara på syftet. De utvalda artiklarna analyserades med hjälp av Fribergs analysmetod.

Resultat: Författarna kunde identifiera tre teman genom sina valda artiklar. Sjukvårdspersonalens upplevelser samt erfarenheter av dödshjälp. Sjukvårdspersonalens teamwork. Sjukvårdspersonalens relation med patienten.

Diskussion: Resultatdiskussionen delades in i tre delar, “Sjukvårdspersonalens upplevelser samt erfarenheter kring dödshjälp”, “Sjukvårdspersonalens teamwork inom dödshjälp” samt “Sjukvårdspersonalens relation med patienten”. Samt en metoddiskussion om styrkor samt svagheter om arbetets gång.
