Anhörighälsa. En intervjustudie om de vårdgivande anhöriga till Alzheimersjuka och deras upplevelser av sin situation
Most of the people in today's society have at least some knowledge about Alzheimer's disease to some extent. When a person with Alzheimer's disease is being taken care of at home, the relatives have to change their own priorities and readapt themselves to the existing situation. The primary aim of this study is to describe how the relatives experience their own situation in life. The secondary aim of this study is to describe how the relatives understand their own relation with the health care authorities concerning the help and support issues. The authors have realized this study using the analytic inductive method and have interviewed four informants using a semi structured interview guide. The result of this study has been analyzed towards the SAUK-model for confirming nursing. The informants experience to a high extent that they are not being confirmed in their own situation and that this could convey a change of their own health situation.
