Nurses in Primary healthcare; Health Promoting Dialogue on Lifestyle in Conjunction with Blood-pressure Controls : - A cross-sectional study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund. Hälsosamma levnadsvanor förebygger uppkomsten och är grundläggande i behandlingen av högt blodtryck. Sjuksköterskors samtal om levnadsvanor är viktiga för att stödja patienterna att förändra ohälsosamma levnadsvanor.  Syfte. Syftet med studien är att kartlägga i vilken omfattning sjuksköterskor frågar om levnadsvanor och hur de arbetar med detta i hälsofrämjande samtal i samband med blodtryckskontroller. Dessutom har studien särskilt fokus på att också beskriva samband mellan fortbildning och sjuksköterskornas tillämpning av sådana samtal. Metod. En kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie med enkäter utfördes. Resultat. I samtalen frågar sjuksköterskor i lägre omfattning om patienternas alkohol- och saltintag jämfört med övriga levnadsvanor. Det vanligaste sättet att tillämpa samtalen på är genom att ge enkla råd till dessa patienter. I tre av sex förekommande levnadsvanor finns det ett samband mellan fortbildning i samtalsmetodik och högt blodtryck, och mer avancerade samtal.  Slutsats. Tid, arbetssätt och fortbildning tycks vara faktorer som påverkar sjuksköterskors samtal om levnadsvanor i positiv riktning.

Abstract [en]

Background. A healthy lifestyle prevents rise of hypertension and is fundamental for the treatment of the condition. Patient-nurse conversations on lifestyle are important to support patient lifestyle change. Aim. The aim of the study is to map to what degree nurses are asking about lifestyle habits and how they work with this in health-promoting dialogues in conjunction with blood pressure controls. In addition, the study has a particular focus on describing the relationship between nurses in-service training and the application of such dialogues. Method. A quantitative, cross-sectional study by questionnaire was performed. Result. Nurses are asking about patients' intake of alcohol and salt to a lower degree than for other lifestyle habits. Short advice is the most common type of dialogue with patients. For three out of the six lifestyle habits a correlation between degree of education and more elaborate dialogue was identified. Conclusion. Time, mode of work and degree of education seem to affect nurses' conversations about patient lifestyle positively.
