Bakgrund/syfte: Sma?rtlindring via PCA-pump a?r en effektiv och sa?ker metod vid postoperativ va?rd. Den syftar till att ge patienten sto?rre mo?jlighet att pa?verka sin sma?rtlindring. Tidigare studier pa?visar att ma?nga patienter upplever sin kunskap om PCA- pumpen som otillra?cklig.

Sammanfattning Syfte: Att beskriva sma?rtskattning och sma?rtlindring fo?re och efter omfattande buk- och thoraxkirurgi pa? barn va?rdade pa? en neonatal intensivva?rdsavdelning. Metod: Retrospektiv kvantitativ journalgranskning. Totalt granskades 35 journaler utifra?n en journalgranskningsmall.

Bakgrund: Venprovtagning kan orsaka sm?rta hos barn vilket kan leda till negativa upplevelser och undvikande av v?rd i framtiden. Virtual reality (VR) ?r en ny teknik inom h?lso- och sjukv?rd som bland annat b?rjat anv?ndas som distraktion f?r barn vid venprovtagning. Syfte: Denna studie syftar till att unders?ka effekten av VR som sm?rtlindring f?r barn i samband med venprovtagning.

Bakgrund: ?rligen opereras cirka 400 000 patienter inom slutenv?rden i Sverige. Det finns forskning som visar upplevelsen av att v?nta p? en elektiv operation, dock saknas det forskning om hur patienterna upplever v?ntan p? en akut bukoperation. Specialistsjuksk?terskan beh?ver kunskap om och f?rst?else f?r hur patienterna upplever sin v?ntan p? en akut bukoperation f?r att kunna bem?ta patienten och ge trygghet.

Bakgrund: Prematurt fo?dda barn utsa?tts fo?r ma?nga sma?rtsamma ingrepp under sin tid pa? neonatal va?rdavdelning. Det finns behov av att utveckla icke- farmakologisk sma?rtlindring som komplement till farmakologisk sma?rtlindring fo?r denna patientgrupp. Tidigare forskning har visat att inspelad musik under blodprovstagning har positiva effekter pa? prematurt fo?dda barns fysiologiska va?rden samt beteendema?ssiga respons.

Bakgrund: Procedurrelaterad sm?rta ?r ofta f?rekommande inom barnsjukv?rd, d?r venpunktion ?r en vanlig orsak. Enligt lag har barn r?tt till delaktighet, individanpassad information och b?sta m?jliga v?rd, vilket inkluderar att skyddas fr?n on?digt sm?rtsamma procedurer. Trots evidensbaserade riktlinjer f?rebyggs inte alltid procedurrelaterad sm?rta optimalt.

Today patients are more aware of their rights regarding their own care. They are more informed, more engaged and have more and individual requirements, which leads to increased demands for information and participation increases. The Health Act sets out the patientsÂŽ right to participation. Participation increases patient satisfaction with care, promotes healing and increases adherence to health care advise. The patient doesnÂŽt always experience participation in their own care to the extent they wish, which suggests that nurse?s does not always succeed in getting the patient involved.

Background: Every day patientÂŽs get isolated in hospitals as a consequense of infection control purposes. Physical isolation can result in lack of human contact and a new unknown environment for the patient. Those two factors can easily cause stress within the patient and create anxiety for the future. Aim: The aim of the study was to describe patientÂŽs experience of being nursed in an isolation room. Method: The method that was used was a literature research, where earlier research findings were read and put together.

Background: More focus has been placed towards autonomy when it comes to care and in special towards palliative care. The purpose with palliative care is to relieve and support at the end of the life. When the patient has difficulties to communicate to those around him due to his illness it is hard to preserve the patients right of self-determination. It is very important to consider the patient as autonomous during the course of the illness. Different alternatives have been developed to preserve the patient?s autonomy such as dedicate a deputy or plan the care of the patient in advance.Aim: The aim of this study was to describe, from an ethical point of view, how the patient?s autonomy could preserved at palliative care.Method: A general literature study where 11 scientific articles have been analysed from a qualitative checklist whereof the result has been discussed based on the principles of ethics.

Background: Vacuum assisted closure, VAC, is a method which can benefit wound closure. There are not many reliable studies about the effects of VAC in different types of wounds. Previous studies have shown that patients have experienced pain during dressing changes.Aim: The aim of the study was to survey in what kind of wounds the vascular surgery ward have been using VAC, to study the treatment process of VAC and how it has been documented and also to investigate if patients with VAC experienced pain during dressing changes.Method: The patients were chosen from a ledger, which contained 77 patients that had been treated with VAC on the vascular surgery ward. Data were collected with a journal survey protocol.Results: The result is based on 67 patients with a total of 79 wounds. VAC was shown to have a good effect on wound healing and infected surgical wounds were the most commonly wound category undergoing treatment with VAC.

The aim of the study was to investigate the importance of the interaction between the physiotherapist and the patient. Semistructured interviews were carried out with three patients and one physiotherapist. A qualitative design with content analysis was used. The data analysis led to classification of four categories. These were communication, confidence, expectations and participation.

AbstractBackground: Relation means the relationship between two parts. By creating a good relation between nurse and patient you can conduce a better caring. Aim: The aim of the study was to illustrate the relation within palliative care from nurse- patient perspective. Method: The study is a literature review where ten articles were analysed with qualitative content analysis. Results: The findings showed that knowledge, communication, continuity, silence and availability were the most important thing for the nurse in the relationship.

Healthcare professionals will strive after having knowledge and understanding for how woundpain influences the patient's quality of life. Aim: The aim is to elucidate the patient's experiences of pain at venous leg ulcer and the effects on their daily life. Method: The procedure has been a systematic literature overview with a systematic search in different databases. The search resulted in nine scientific articles.

Background: Health care is a strange place for the patient. To make this enviroment as good as possible, would the patient be well informed.

NurseŽs basic responsibility is caring, for her/him itŽs important to prevent the shock for the patient that can appear. Aim: Describe the nursing staff responses to the patient, using the patientŽs perspective in relation to bad news. Method: A litterture review has been made with nine articles. Current research materials that meet the studyŽs purpose has been applied in databases and analyzed.
