Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund Det dör cirka 5 miljoner barn globalt varje år, Forskning och litteratur påvisade att sjuksköterskans kommunikativa förmåga med såväl barnet som dess familj är av central betydelse för att kunna tillämpa kvalitativ vård vid livets slutskede. Sjuksköterskors kunskaper och färdigheter var betydelsefullt för barnet och familjen vid vård av barn i livets slutskede.

Syfte Syftet med studien var att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser att vårda barn i livets slutskede.

Metod Examensarbetet genomfördes som en strukturerad litteraturstudie med inslag av den metodologi som används vid systematiska översikter. Resultatet baseras på 14 kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar.

Resultat Sjuksköterskorna upplevde både positiva och negativa känslor när ett barn var i livets slutskede. Olika sorters strategier tillämpades för att sjuksköterskorna skulle kunna hantera upplevda känslor. En relation mellan sjuksköterskor, barnen och familjen skapades vid vård av barn i livets slutskede. Erfarenhet och utbildning om att vårda barn i livets slutskede upplevde sjuksköterskorna var betydelsefullt.

Slutsats Det var av stor betydelse att sjuksköterskor fick adekvat support och tillfälle att bearbeta och reflektera över händelser som skett under vården av ett barn i livets slutskede. Det var även viktigt med utbildning, speciellt för nyexaminerade sjuksköterskor. En sjuksköterska ska vara medveten om den relation som har skapats med barnet och familjen och handla adekvat och professionellt utefter det.

Abstract [en]

Background Approximately 5 million children die globally each year. Research and literature have shown that the nurse's communicative ability with both the child and their family is of central importance in being able to provide quality end of life care. Nurses' knowledge and skills are significant for the child and family in end-of-life care for children.

Aim The aim of the study was to describe nurses' experiences of caring for children at the end of life.

Method This thesis was carried out as a structured literature study with elements of the methodology used in systematic reviews. The results are based on 14 qualitative scientific articles.

Results The nurses experienced both positive and negative emotions when a child was in end of life. Different types of strategies were implemented to help nurses cope with experience demotions. A relationship between nurses, the children and the family were formed during the care of children at the end of life. The nurses found the experiences and education in caring for children in the end of life was significant.

Conclusions It was of great importance that nurses received adequate supports and opportunity to process and reflect on events that occurred during the care of a child at the end of life. Education, especially for newly graduated nurses, was also important. A nurse should be aware of the relationship formed with the child and family and act appropriately and professionally based on it.
