Like black ink on white paper : Patients experiences of ethnic discrimination in health care (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Etnisk diskriminering innebär att missgynnas på grund av utseende, språk eller kultur. Diskriminering skapar fysisk och psykisk ohälsa. När sjuksköterskor och hälso- och sjukvården diskriminerar patienter på grund av etnicitet utsätts patienterna för vårdlidande. Vård ska, enligt lag, ges på lika villkor där alla människor, oavsett etnicitet, har rätt till adekvat vård.

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva patienters upplevelser av etnisk diskriminering i hälso- och sjukvården.

Metod: Studien är en kvalitativ litteraturöversikt med induktiv ansats vilken baseras på nio vetenskapliga artiklar.

Resultat: Patienter upplever etnisk diskriminering i hälso- och sjukvården vilket synliggörs i tre teman; orättvis vård, orättvist bemötande och minskad delaktighet.

Konklusion: Patienter riskerar att bli utsatta för etnisk diskriminering i samma stund de söker sig till hälso- och sjukvården. Diskrimineringen kan pågå genom hela vårdkedjan, oberoende situation, vårdinrättning och land. Etnisk diskriminering sker på både organisations- och individnivå. För att undvika orsaka patienterna vårdlidande på grund av etnisk diskriminering bör sjuksköterskan utmana och reflektera över egna fördomar.

Abstract [en]

Background: Ethnic discrimination means being disadvantaged because of appearance, language, or culture. Discrimination creates physical and mental illness. When nurses and the health care system discriminate against patients based on ethnicity, patients are exposed to care suffering. Care must, according to law, be given on equal terms where all people, regardless of ethnicity, have the right to adequate care.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe patients experiences of ethnic discrimination in health care.

Method: The study is a qualitative literature review with an inductive approach which is based on nine scientific articles.

Findings: Patients experience ethnic discrimination in healthcare, which is made visible in three themes; unfair care, unfair treatment and reduced participation.

Conclusion: Patients risk being exposed to ethnic discrimination at the same moment they seek health care. The discrimination can continue throughout the care chain, independent situation, care facility and country. Ethnic discrimination occurs at both organizational and individual levels. To avoid causing the patients suffering due to ethnic discrimination, the nurse should challenge and reflect on their own prejudices.
