Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund; 3 % av världens befolkning lider av venösa bensår och de drabbade är främst äldre och kvinnor. Kompressionsbehandling och fysisk aktivitet är de två vanligaste egenvårdsåtgärderna och det ligger ett stort ansvar på sjuksköterskan att motivera patienten till en fungerande egenvård. Syfte; Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva patienters svårigheter till följsamhet av egenvård och att belysa betydande aspekter i sjuksköterskans arbete för att kunna motivera patienter till följsamhet av egenvård vid venösa bensår samt att undersöka kvaliteten på urvalsmetoden forskarna till valda artiklar använt sig av. Metod; Denna litteraturstudie har en deskriptiv design och är baserad på tio vetenskapliga artiklar varav fyra är kvalitativa, tre är kvantitativa och tre är kvalitativa/kvantitativa och publicerade mellan 2004-2014. De vetenskapliga artiklarna inhämtades från databasen PubMed. Artiklarnas innehåll granskades utifrån likheter. Kvalitet, likheter och skillnader granskades i den metodologiska aspekten urvalsmetod. Resultat; Sju teman identifierades varav tre berörde patienters svårigheter till följsamhet av egenvård; kunskap och tro på sig själv och behandlingen, patienters svårigheter vid kompressionsbehandling som egenvårdsåtgärd, patienters svårigheter vid fysisk aktivitet som egenvårdsåtgärd och fyra behandlade aspekter i sjuksköterskans motiverande arbete; kunskap och information, patientens inställning, organisationsproblem och relationer. Gällande granskningen av artiklarnas urvalsmetod påvisades en varierande kvalitet. Konklusion; Kunskap och inställning hos både sjuksköterska och patient samt en god relation mellan dessa är av största vikt för få en fungerande egenvård och på så sätt minska prevalensen av venösa bensår.

Quality, similarities and differences were examined in the methodological aspect selection method. Results; Seven themes were identified and three of them described patients difficulties to adhere to self-care. Knowledge and belief in the treatment and themselves was found to be essential and the next two themes described patients’ difficulties to adhere to compression therapy and physical activity. The residual themes described the nurses’ essential factors to motivate patients to adhere to self-care, knowledge and information, the patients’ attitude towards self-care, organizational problems and the relationship between the nurse and patient.
