Patients' experiences of care and support at home after their family members' participation in an intervention during palliative care (English)
Abstract [en]

Background: Patients who receive palliative home care are in need of support from their family members who take on great responsibility related to the patients’ care but who often feel unprepared for the situation. An increasing number of interventions aimed at supporting family members in palliative care have been described and evaluated. It is not known whether and how these interventions actually affect the care or support provided to the patient. It has been suggested that family members are likely to provide better support or care with positive experiences for the patients after intervention participation. However, this has not been studied from the perspective of the patients themselves.

Aim: The aim is to explore patients’ experiences after their family member participates in apsycho- educational intervention during palliative care.

Method: This study has a qualitative approach and interviews were conducted with eleven patients whose family members had participated in a psycho-educational intervention during palliative home care. The interviews were analyzed with interpretive description.

Results: Patients’ experiences are represented by three themes: Safe at home; A facilitated and more open communication; and Feeling like a unit of care. Patients experienced that their needs were better met and that their family members became more confident at home without risking their own health. Patients felt relieved when their family member was given the opportunity to talk and reflect with others in the same situation and hoped that the intervention would contribute to a more honest communication between them and their family member. Further, it was of great importance to the patients that their family members got the attention and were confirmed and supported by the healthcare professionals.

Conclusion: These findings show how an intervention targeted at family members during palliative home care also benefited the patients. The findings are therefore useful when developing support to family members in palliative care.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Patienter som erhåller palliativ hemsjukvård är i stort behov av stöd från sina närstående, som ofta tar ett betydande ansvar för patientens vård. Dock känner sig  närstående ofta otillräckligt förberedda för situationen. Ett ökat antal interventioner som syftar till att stödja närstående i palliativ vård har beskrivits och utvärderats. Det är inte känt om eller hur dessa interventioner påverkar patienten men det har föreslagits att närstående troligtvis ger bättre vård och stöd med positiva erfarenheter för patienten. Detta har dock inte studerats från patientens perspektiv.

Syfte: Att undersöka patienters erfarenheter av vård och stöd i hemmet efter att deras närstående deltagit i en intervention under pågående palliativ vård.

Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ utgångspunkt och är designad utifrån tolkande beskrivning. Intervjuer genomfördes med elva patienter vars närstående deltagit i ett stöd och informationsprogram under pågående palliativ hemsjukvård.

Resultat: Patienternas upplevelser presenteras genom tre teman: Trygghet i hemmet, En underlättad och mer öppen kommunikation och Känsla av att vara en enhet för vård. Patienterna upplevde att deras behov blev bättre tillgodosedda, deras närstående fick mer självförtroende hemma och vården skedde utan att riskera närståendes hälsa. Patienterna kände sig lättade över att deras närstående fick en möjlighet att tala och reflektera med andra i samma situation och hoppades att interventionen skulle medföra en förbättrad och ärlig kommunikation mellan dem och deras närstående. Vidare så var det viktigt för patienterna att deras familjemedlem fick uppmärksamhet och blev bekräftade och stöttade av vårdpersonalen.

Slutsats: Dessa resultat visar hur en intervention riktad mot närstående under palliativ hemsjukvård även kommer patienten till nytta. Resultatet kan bidra med kunskap för utveckling av stöd till närstående i palliativ hemsjukvård.
