The life as next of kin to a person in palliative care. : a literature review. (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: När en person blir svårt sjuk, är döende och behöver vårdas palliativt berörs inte bara den sjuke, utan även personer i dennes närhet. Det har framkommit att närstående inte alltid uttrycker sina behov i situationen. Närståendes involvering är ett faktum, och deras upplevelser varierar. Närståendes upplevelser knyts i resultatdiskussionen an till begreppet om Känsla av sammanhang.   

Syfte: Litteraturöversiktens syfte är att beskriva upplevelser av att vara närstående till en palliativ vårdtagare.

Metod: En kvalitativ litteraturöversikt, inkluderande elva studier, har genomförts där dessa studier granskats, bearbetats och analyserats utifrån Fribergs femstegsmodell.

Resultat: Det framkom att närstående upplevt förändringar i vardagen sedan deras närstående blivit sjuk. De upplevde åsidosättande av egna behov och intressen. Vårdpersonal fick en betydande roll i situationen, och närstående upplevde trygghet när de var närvarande, men upplevde en otrygghet när kontinuitet och löften inte hölls. Behov av information och stöd visade sig vara viktigt för hanterandet av situationen.

Slutsats: Utifrån huvudfynden konstateras att närstående genomgår förändringar genom hela den sjukes palliativa period. Förändringarna upplevs olika, då varje situation är unik, de närstående har individuella behov som behöver tillfredsställas. Uttryckt behov av stöd och information gör att vårdpersonal får en betydande roll i deras liv.
