Bakgrund: I dagens sjukvård förekommer möten som inte uppfyller de kriterier vilka ligger till grund för ett förtroendefullt möte mellan sjuksköterska och patient. Dessa grundpelare är trovärdighet, kunskap/utbildning, attityder, tid och närvaro. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att belysa förutsättningar och hinder för att förtroende skapas mellan vårdare och patient med långvarig smärta. Metod: Författarna har använt sig av en litteraturstudie med kvalitativ inriktning. Studien är baserad på fyra vetenskapliga artiklar och två avhandlingar.

Bakgrund: Varje år ställs sjuksköterskor inför diverse problemställningar gällande palliativ vård i livets slutskede. Nutritionsbehandling är en av de åtgärder som kan sättas in för att lindra situationen för både patient och anhöriga. Då det är flera parter så som patient, anhöriga, läkare och sjuksköterska inblandade är det av stort vikt att alla förstår och är informerade om situationen för att den svårt sjuke ska få bästa möjliga vård. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien är att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av nutritionsproblem hos patienter i livets slutskede. Metod: En litteraturstudie genomfördes där 10 kvalitativa och kvantitativa artiklar granskades och analyserades enligt Friberg (2012).

Title: From openness and presence to distance and control: to be medicated and to administrate from a patient and nurse perspective.Background: Within forensic psychiatric care the patients are admitted against their will, under heavy security with long term treatments.

Tiden patienten får med vårdpersonalen är ofta kort och intensiv och patientens behov av psykosocial omvårdnad, som i regel är stort, kan inte alltid tillgodoses. Vårdlidande är det lidande som skapas av vårdgivaren på grund av felbehandlingar, långa väntetider men främst i vårdrelationen mellan patient och vårdpersonal. Syfte: Belysa patienters vårdlidande i mötet med vårdpersonal på akutmottagning. Metod: En litteraturstudie med granskning av åtta stycken kvalitativa forskningsartiklar.

Problemformulering: Sjuksköterskan behöver ge patienten förutsättning till delaktighet i vårdandet. En patient som är delaktig i sin vård upplever minde obehag över situationer och mindre stress.

Läkemedelshantering såsom administrering av medicin till patienter är en av de dagliga omvårdnadshandlingarna för en sjuksköterska. För en patient som vårdas under Lagen om Psykiatrisk Tvångsvård (LPT) (SFS, 1991:1128) kan upplevelser av att få medicin vara blandade. I sjuksköterskans omvårdnadsarbete är det viktigt att se patientens unika upplevelser av situationen. Syftet med denna studie är att belysa patienters upplevelser av läkemedelsadministrering då de vårdas under LPT. Metoden är av kvalitativ natur där empirin samlats in med hjälp av intervjuer som har analyserats med manifest innehållsanalys.

ABSTRACT The persons whom the authorized nurse encounters in hospital wards and nursing homes are in great extent elderly persons. According to Wasserman (2000), about 30 to 40 percent among these, show signs of depression.
