District nurses' experiences of difficult conversations : In telephone counseling in primary health care (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: En stor del av distriktssköterskors arbete inom primärvården består av telefonrådgivning. Det krävs stor kunskap inom omvårdnad, kommunikation, medicin och teknik för att kunna göra en korrekt bedömning av patientens hälsotillstånd. Inom telefonrådgivning finns det flertalet faktorer som försvårar bedömningen.

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva distriktssköterskors upplevelser av svåra samtal vid telefonrådgivning inom primärvården.

Metod: I studien användes en kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats. Intervjuer genomfördes med åtta distriktssköterskor.

Resultat: I resultatet framkom fyra kategorier vilka var: Svårt att bedöma via telefonen, Svårt att inte kunna tillgodose allas önskemål, Organisationsrelaterade problem samt Stöd i bedömningen med tillhörande nio underkategorier. Distriktssköterskorna upplever att svåra samtal kan uppstå i många olika situationer samt att dessa påverkar distriktssköterskorna känslomässigt och deras arbete inom telefonrådgivning.

Konklusion: Denna studie tydliggör vad distriktssköterskor upplever som svåra samtal och att dessa påverkar dem känslomässigt. Resultatet kan bidra till att öka medvetenheten av vad distriktssköterskor upplever sig behöva för att lättare kunna hantera svåra samtal.

Abstract [en]

Background: A large part of the district nurses’ work in primary health care consists of telephone counseling. This requires extensive knowledge of nursing, communications, medicine and technology to be able to make an accurate assessment of the patient's health. In the telephone counseling there are several factors that complicate the assessment.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe district nurses’ experiences of difficult conversations in telephone counseling in primary health care.

Method: The study used a qualitative content analysis with inductive approach. Interviews were conducted with eight district nurses.

Results: The result shows four categories: Difficult to assess through the telephone, Difficult to not be able to accommodate everyone, Organizational problems and Support in the assessment. District nurses feel that difficult conversations can occur in many different situations and that they affect the district nurses emotionally and their work with telephone counseling.

Conclusion: This study clarifies what the district nurses’ experience as difficult conversations and that they affect them emotionally. The results can help to raise awareness of what the district nurses feel they need to manage difficult conversations easier.
