Til death do us part: nurse’s experiences of palliative care (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Palliativ kommer från latinets “pallium” som betyder mantel och ska symbolisera den heltäckande vård som ska erbjudas den döende patienten och dess anhöriga. Den legitimerade sjuksköterskan som har en inriktning på palliativ vård ska ha beredskap inför det som är oväntat och oförutsägbart. Den palliativa omvårdnaden ska utföras baserad på evidens som innebär att sjuksköterskan väger samman sin expertis med tillgänglig kunskap och erfarenheter. Metod: Semistrukturerad intervjustudie med fyra deltagande sjuksköterskor som hade erfarenhet av palliativ vård. Intervjuerna spelades in och transkriberades av författarna. Syfte: Undersöka de erfarenheter som sjuksköterskor får av att arbeta i palliativ vård. Resultat: Sjuksköterskorna understryker att den palliativa vården känns på riktigt, att deras handlingar spelar stor roll för patienten och dennes anhöriga. Det blir svårt när döden kommer nära samt etiska dilemman. Det framkom att teamarbetet är viktigt inom denna typ av vård. Konklusion: Komplexa känslor tillhör vardagen för sjuksköterskor inom palliativ vård och genom sin erfarenhet samt stöttning från team kan en god omvårdnad säkerställas. En betydelsefull slutsats av denna studie är att sjuksköterskorna som arbetar i palliativ verksamhet har behov av stöd för att kunna vårda helhetsomfattande.

Not only do the nurse have a liability towards the patient, but also for the wellbeing of their relatives. Method: An semi-structured interview method was utilized and four nurses with experience working in palliative care participated in the study. The interviews were recorded and then transcribed by the authors. Aim: To survey nurses' experience of working in palliative care. Findings: The nurses who participated emphasized the feeling of actually making a difference in another person's life. Examples of hardship they have to endure, is when they are forced to face their own mortality and also ethical arguments. Another important part within this care is a strong team of different professions and expertise. Conclusion: Complexity is an everyday thing for a palliative care nurse. Through their professional experience and support from their colleagues, a formidable end-of-life care can be ensured. A significant conclusion of this study, is the importance of reliance for the nurses in palliative care, to ensure the patient receives comprehensive care.
