Sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att vårda personer med självförvållade skador
(2023) AKTM22 20231Department of Health Sciences
- Abstract
- Background: Nurses in healthcare will encounter patients who for various reasons have harmed themselves. All persons seeking healthcare must be treated with respect and dignity. But patients who seek care for self-inflicted injuries often experience negative encounters, which discourages them from seeking healthcare in the future. A lack of nursing care can mean unnecessary suffering for the patient. Aim: The aim of this study is to describe the nurses’ experience and attitude towards caring for people who have deliberately harmed themselves. Method: A literature review was performed where 16 scientific articles were included. Two of the articles were of a mixed method, seven were of a qualitative approach and seven were of a quantitative... (More)

Aim: The aim of this study is to describe the nurses’ experience and attitude towards caring for people who have deliberately harmed themselves. Method: A literature review was performed where 16 scientific articles were included. Two of the articles were of a mixed method, seven were of a qualitative approach and seven were of a quantitative approach. The databases used during the literature search were PubMed, Cinahl and PsychINFO. The articles were published between 2012 and 2023. Results: Nurses rarely have previous education on the subject but desire education to fill skill gaps. Relevant education produces several positive effects such as better attitude and higher competence. The experience of caring for this specific patient group leads to a better attitude and self-confidence, but no or little experience leads to the opposite. Nurses emphasized collegial support and the help of a multi-professional team to manage the patients. Patients repeatedly seeking care as a result of self-harm evoked feelings of frustration, anger and powerlessness. Conclusion: Nurses need more education, exposure, and support from colleagues to counteract a negative attitude. The study is broad but gives a clear indication that further research in more defined operational areas is needed. (Less)
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor i vården kommer möta patienter som av olika anledningar har skadat sig själva. Alla personer som söker vård ska behandlas med respekt och värdighet. Men personer som söker vård för självförvållade skador upplever ett negativt bemötande vilket leder till att de blir avskräckta att söka vård i framtiden. Ett bristande bemötande kan innebära ett onödigt vårdlidande för personerna. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenhet och attityd av att vårda personer som avsiktligt har skadat sig själva. Metod: En litteraturöversikt utfördes där 16 vetenskapliga artiklar ingick. Två av artiklarna var av mixad metod, sju var av kvalitativ ansats och sju var av kvantitativ ansats. Databaserna som användes... (More)

Metod: En litteraturöversikt utfördes där 16 vetenskapliga artiklar ingick. Två av artiklarna var av mixad metod, sju var av kvalitativ ansats och sju var av kvantitativ ansats. Databaserna som användes under litteratursökningen var PubMed, Cinahl och PsychINFO. Artiklarna var publicerade mellan 2012 och 2023. Resultat: Sjuksköterskor har sällan utbildning i ämnet men önskar vidarebildning för att fylla kompetensluckor. Utbildning ger en rad positiva effekter som bättre attityd och högre kompetens. Erfarenheten av att vårda patientgruppen leder till bättre attityd och självsäkerhet, bristande erfarenhet leder till motsatsen. Sjuksköterskor lade stor vikt på kollegialt stöd och hjälp av ett multiprofessionellt team för att hantera patienterna. Återkommande patienter skapade känslor av frustration, ilska och maktlöshet. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor behöver mer utbildning, exponering och stöd från olika kollegor för att motverka en negativ attityd. Studien är övergripande men ger tydlig indikation av att ytterligare forskning inom mer avgränsade verksamhetsområden behövs. (Less)
