To meet something inevitable : Patients experience of end-of-life care: a literature review (English)
Abstract [en]

Bakgrund: Inom palliativ vård är målet att lindra lidande och främja livskvaliteten hos patienter med obotliga sjukdomar, patienter som är nära livets slut, och när patient och närstående är i behov av fysiskt, socialt, existentiellt och psykiskt stöd. Palliativ vård utformas enligt fyra hörnstenar: samarbete, symptomlindring, relation och kommunikation samt närståendestöd.

Syfte: Syftet med litteraturöversikten var att undersöka patienters upplevelser av vård vid livets slutskede.

Metod: Arbetet utformades som en litteraturöversikt med databaserna PubMed och Cinahl Complete. I arbetet användes kvalitativa studier och en studie med grundad teori. Sökorden var: patient attitude, patient experience, patient perspective, palliative care, hospice and palliative care, end of life care. Data analyserades enligt Fribergs fyra analyssteg.

Resultat: I resultatet framkom följande teman: vårdrelation, kommunikation och samtal, självständighet kontra beroende, samhörighet eller ensamhet och hopp kontra hopplöshet. Patienternas tankar och upplevelser av interaktion och kommunikation med vårdgivarna var betydelsefulla vilket framkom i dessa teman. Deltagarna beskrev även hur delaktighet i vården påverkade deras autonomi.

Sammanfattning: Inom vård vid livets slut var det viktigt att sjuksköterskan gav patienterna möjlighet att vara delaktiga i sin vård, vilket ledde till att deras autonomi bevarades. En god vårdrelation, med en kontinuerlig kommunikation var viktigt för att göra patientens vårdupplevelse så bra som möjligt.

Abstract [en]

Background: Within palliative care the goal is to ease suffering and promote quality of life to patients living with terminal illness which increase the need for physical, social, existential and psychical comfort. Palliative care involves four main pilers, cooperation, symptom relief, relation and communication and relative's support.

Aim: The aim of this literature review was to explore patient's experiences of end-of life care. Method: The method was a literature review with the databases Pubmed and Cinahl Complete. Both qualitative studies and one grounded theory study were used. The search word included: patient attitude, patient experience, patient perspective, palliative care, hospice and palliative care, end of life care. The analysis was constructed according to Friberg's four analysis steps.

Results: In the results the following themes were found: interactions with caregivers, communication and conversations, independence versus dependence, affinity or loneliness and hopelessness versus hop. The patients' thoughts and experiences of interaction and communication with the caregivers were meaningful, which was shown in the results. The participants also explained how participation in their care affected their autonomy.

Summary: At end of life it was important that the nurse gave the patients opportunity to be involved in their care, which led to the patient maintaining autonomy. A good interaction between the caregiver and the patient, as well as a continuous communication, were important parts for patient's experiences of good end of life care.
