Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Palliativ vård i livets slut innebär att främja välbefinnande och lindra lidande för patienten den sista tiden i livet. För att skapa bästa förutsättningar för palliativ vård är kommunikation nyckeln som skapar relationer mellan sjuksköterska, patient, närstående och vårdteam. Med god kommunikation kan sjuksköterskan bemöta, involvera, informera patienten och närstående om patientens sjukdomsprocess samt tillämpa bästa möjliga vård i livet slut.

Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av kommunikation med patienter i livets slut.

Metod: En litteraturöversikt med tio vetenskapliga artiklar som hämtades från databaserna PubMed och Cinahl Complete. Artiklarna analyserades enligt Fribergs analysmodell.

Resultat: Analysen av resultatet består av fyra teman; (1) Samarbete i arbetsgruppen, (2) Samtal om existentiella frågor, (3) Kulturella faktorer och (4) Behov av kunskap och erfarenheter.

Sammanfattning: Kommunikationen är sjuksköterskan viktigaste redskap. Med kommunikation byggs mellanmänskliga relationer med patienter, närstående och multidisciplinära teamet i livets slut. En god kommunikation ger förutsättningar för att leverera bästa möjliga vård i livet slut till patient och närstående.

Abstract [en]

Background: End-of-life palliative care promotes well-being, quality of life, and alleviates suffering for patients in the last days of their lives. In order to create the best possible conditions for palliative care to fulfill its function, communication is the key that creates relationships between the nurse, the patient, relatives and everyone else who is part of the care team. Based on good communication, the nurse can meet, involve, inform the patient and their relatives about the patient's disease process and apply the best possible care at the end of life.

Aim: The aim was to describe nurses’ experiences of communication with patients at the end of life.

Method: The method being used is a literature review based on ten articles selected from databases PubMed and Cinahl Complete. Fridbergs analysis model was used to analyze the articles.

Results: The analysis of the results consists of four themes; (1) Collaboration in the work group, (2) Conversations about existential issues, (3) Cultural challenges and (4) The need of knowledge and experience.

Summary: Communication is the most important tool that a nurse owns to build interpersonal relationships with the patient, relatives and multidisciplinary team in end-of-life care. Good communication provides the conditions for delivering the best possible end of life care to the patient and their loved ones.
