Sydafrikanska sjuksköterskors upplevelser från bra möten inom vården med äldre patienter som lider av demens (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

To meet patients who are sufferng from dementia takes encouragement and imagination. As a nurse you should try to understand the patients verbal and nonverbal communicative skills. How you as a nurse act towards the patient is of great importance for how the nurse-patient relationship will be. In this study a humanistic outlook on people is described and Katie Eriksson is used as a theoretical framework. The aim of this study was to get a deeper understanding how South African nurses' experience of caring encounters with patients sufferung from dementia. The method was qualitative, and data was collected through a group interview with four nurses at an old age home in South Africa. Adaptation and analysis was accomplished through content analysis with the intention of reaching different themes. Two different themes emerged: 'Finging the unique creates a caring relationship in nursing' and 'The unique culture has an impact on nursing care'. The central subject throughout the whole study was that the unique is the core in nursing care and that you as a nurse should see the unique in every individual and interact from that.

Abstract [sv]

Att bemöta patienter som lider av demens kräver engagemang och fantasi. Som sjuksköterska bör du försöka att förstå patientens kommunikatiova förmåga både verbalt och non verbalt. Hur du som sjuksköterska agerar gentemot patienten som lider av demens är av stor betydelse för hur mötet ska bli. I studien beskrevs en humanistisk människosyn och Katie Eriksson användes som teoretisk referensram. Syftet med studien var att få djupare förståelse för hur sydafrikanska sjuksköterskor upplever bra möten med äldre patienter som lider av demens. Metoden var kvalitativ och data samlades in genom en gruppintervju med fyra sjuksköterskor på ett äldreboende i Sydafrika. Bearbetning och analys av data genomfördes som en innehållsanalys med avsikt att komma fram till olika teman. Två olika teman framkom i resultatet vilka var "Att finna det unika skapar en vårdrelation i omvårdnaden" och "Att den unika kulturen har ett inflytande på omvårdnaden". Det som var centralt genom hela studien var att det unika är kärnan i omvårdnadsarbetet och att man som sjuksköterska bör se det unika i varje individ och bemöta patienten därefter.
