Older persons' experiences of the discharge process from inpatient to primary care : a literature overview (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Utskrivningsprocessen har förändrats på grund av sjukvårdsreformer med mål att stärka patienters ställning och förkorta vårdtider inom sluten vård. Samtidigt som en åldrande befolkning med ökande multisjukhet och komplexa vårdbehov ställer höga krav på samverkan mellan berörda parter. Äldre patienters upplevelse av utskrivningsprocessen är av intresse för sjuksköterskor i rollen som samordnare av insatser under utskrivningsprocessen.

Syfte: Syftet var att belysa äldre personers upplevelser av utskrivningsprocessen från slutenvård till primärvård.

Metod: Efter en kvalitetsgranskning gjordes en litteraturöversikt enligt Fribergs metod på nio kvalitativa och tre kvantitativa studier ur databaserna CINAHL och PubMed.

Resultat: Ur analysen identifierades fem teman under utskrivningsprocessen och var patienters: informationsbehov och vårdpersonalens betydelse, känsla av utsatthet, nöjdhet och tillfredställelse med vården, strategier och empowerment, samt anhörigas betydelse för patienterna.

Slutsats: Äldre patienter upplevelser av utskrivningsprocessen var brist på delaktighet och samordning vilket gav upphov till känslor av oro, stress, förvirring och maktlöshet. Patienter upplevde en ojämlik tillgång till insatser, i synnerhet personer ≥ 80 år. Bristande kommunikation mellan vårdpersonal och patienter påverkar patienters upplevelse av utskrivningsprocessen negativt och orsakade vårdlidande.

Abstract [en]

Background: The hospital discharge process (DP) has changed due to healthcare reforms whose aim has been to promote the status (voice) of patients and to shorten hospital stays. At the same time as an ageing population with increased multimorbidity and complex care needs puts high demands for integrated care on the partners concerned. Elderly patients’ experiences of the hospital discharge process are of interest to nurses in their role as coordinators of integrated care during the discharge process.

Aim: The aim was to highlight older persons’ experiences of the discharge process from inpatient to primary care.

Method: Following a quality review, a literature review was conducted according to the method by Friberg on nine qualitative and three quantitative articles from the databases CINAHL and PubMed.

Results: From the analysis five themes emerged during the DP and were patients’: need for information and the importance of care personnel, feeling of vulnerability, satisfaction with health care, strategies and empowerment as well as the importance of relatives for the patients.

Conclusion: Older patients’ experiences of the DP were lacking in participation and integrated care which aroused feelings of concern, stress, confusion and powerless. Patients experienced an unequal access to care and support, especially persons ≥ 80 years. Lack of communication between care professionals and patients influence patients experience of the DP negatively and can lead to health care-induced suffering.
