Sammanfattning

 

Bakgrund: Personer som ska genomgå en operation räknar med att ha smärta efteråt, så kallad postoperativ smärta. Hur stark smärtan upplevs beror bland annat på patientens erfarenhet av smärta. Smärta är en upplevelse som bara kan beskrivas av personen som har den. Kunskapen i smärta och smärthantering inom sjukvården har genom åren ökat, men patienterna uppger fortsatt att deras smärta är hög. Det ingår i sjuksköterskans arbetsuppgifter att bemöta och behandla smärtan för att minska patientens lidande.

Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva patienters upplevelser av postoperativ smärta samt att beskriva de etiska aspekterna i de utvalda artiklarna.

Metod: En beskrivande litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats. Databaserna PubMed och Cinahl användes för att söka de vetenskapliga artiklarna till studien. Åtta kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar utgjorde grunden för studiens resultat del.

Huvudresultat: Analysen resulterade i 6 teman; ”Smärtan tar olika uttryck”, ”Finner egna sätt för att lindra smärtan”, ”Vill att bli tagen på allvar av vårdpersonalen”, ”Oro över att ta för mycket smärtstillande” ”Vill inte uppfattas som besvärlig” samt ”Viktigt med information om smärta

Slutsatser: Smärta är högst individuell och ska behandlas därefter. För att tillgodose patientens behov bättre vid smärta behöver sjuksköterskan mer kunskap om smärthantering, vilket då kan leda till större förståelse. När patienterna tilläts vara delaktiga i sin vård uppfattades det som något som påverkade deras tillfrisknande positivt.

Abstract

 

Background: People undergoing surgery are expected to have pain afterwards, so called postoperative pain. Hov strong the pain is experienced depends, among outher things, on the patient´s experience of pain. Pain is an experience that only can be described by the person who has it. Knowledge in pain and pain management has increased over the years, but patients still indicate that their pain is high. It is a part of the nurses duties to respond to and treat with the pain to reduce the patients suffering.

Purpose: The aim with the literaturstudy was to describe patients experiences of postoperative pain. The aim was also to describe the ethical aspects in the selected articels.

Method: A describtive literature study with qualitative approach. The databases PubMed and Cinahl was used to search for the scientific articels. Eight qualitative scientific articels formed the basis for the study result.

Finding: The analyses resulted in 6 themes; ”The pain takes many forms”, ”Finds your own way to relieve the pain”, ”Wants to be taken seriously by health professionals”, ”Concern about too much pain medication”, ”Do not want to be perceived as troublesome” and ”Important with information about pain”.

Conclution: Pain is highly individual and should be treated accordingly. To better meet the patients needs at pain nurses need more knowledge about painmanagement, which can leed to greater understanding. When the patient were allowed to be involved in their care it was perceived as something that affected their recovery positively.
