Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskans roll och upplevelser vid vård i livets slutskede. Syftet var även att värdera vilken betydelse datainsamlingsmetoden har för de inkluderade artiklarna.

Metod: Beskrivande litteraturstudie baserad på 13 vetenskapliga artiklar som söktes i databaserna Cinahl och PubMed via Högskolan i Gävle. En metodologisk granskning av de ingående artiklarnas datainsamlingsmetod genomfördes.

Resultat: Vård i livets slutskede krävde teamarbete där både vårdpersonal, patient och närstående ingår. Sjuksköterskans roll innefattade ett professionellt förhållningssätt där patient och närstående inkluderades som en helhet. Resultatet visade betydelsen av sjuksköterskans närvaro och lyhördhet i omvårdnaden men beskrev även vikten av att bevara en balans mellan närvaro och distans. Sjuksköterskans upplevelser innefattade både positiva och negativa upplevelser, vilket påverkade sjuksköterskan både i privat- och arbetslivet. Tidsbrist och otillräcklig kunskap upplevdes som hinder för att uppnå god vård. Vård i livets slutskede upplevdes även som unikt och ett privilegium som gav sjuksköterskorna en personlig utveckling. Semistrukturerade intervjuer förekom i 6 artiklar och resterande 7 artiklar använde ostrukturerade intervjuer.

Slutsats: Sjuksköterskans roll innefattar flera element och för att utöva god omvårdnad vid vård i livets slutskede krävs ett professionellt förhållningssätt. Vård i livets slutskede ger sjuksköterskan både positiva och negativa upplevelser. Vald datainsamlingsmetod i de inkluderade artiklarna ger djupare förståelse för det fenomen som studeras.
