Nurses' experiences of receiving telephone calls from suicidal patients - At Swedish call centers (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att ta emot telefonsamtalen med självmordsnära patienter på callcentra i Sverige.

Metod: Empirisk kvalitativ intervjustudie med fenomenologisk hermeneutisk ansats.

Huvudresultat: Studien resulterade i åttan teman och två subkategorier. Det fanns både slående likheter och stora skillnader i respondenternas upplevelse av att ta emot telefonsamtal med självmordsnära patienter. Samtalen upplevdes som annorlunda, fokuskrävande och svårhanterade. Respondenterna beskriver att de upplever ett behov av mer internutbildning i psykiatri. Kontakten med psykiatrivården upplevs som bristfällig och att hantera patientsamtalet simultant som kontakt hålls med tredje part upplevdes som frustrerande. Oavsett egen upplevelse av användning av samtalsprocessen i telefonsamtal med självmordsnära patienter, beskrevs samstämmigt en upplevelse av att bara använda lyssnafasen.

Konklusion: Det framgick tydligt att telefonsamtal med självmordsnära patienter skiljer sig från de somatiska. Respondenterna beskrev enhälligt att de får en annan mental inställning när patienten de pratar med uttrycker självmordstankar. Respondenterna upplevde också att psykiatrin fungerar dåligt, oberoende på vart i landet de arbetade. För att bemöta patienter med självmordstendenser efterfrågades mer utbildning i psykiatri. Detta stärktes av att en stor del av den mytbild som omger självmord även återfanns hos respondenterna

Abstract [en]

Aim: To describe the experiences of nurses who receive phone calls from suicidal persons at call centers in Sweden.

Method: Empirical qualitative interview-based study with a phenomenological hermeneutical approach.

Results: The study resulted in eight themes and two subcategories. There were striking similarities and sizeable differences alike among the respondents’ experiences concerning receiving phone calls from suicidal persons. The calls were perceived as different, demanding focus and difficult to handle. The respondents describe a need for increased internal education in psychiatry. The interaction with psychiatric care is perceived as lacking and handling the patient call simultaneously while maintaining contact with a third party was perceived as frustrating. Regardless of the individual experiences regarding the process during the suicidal calls, it was unanimously described as only making use of the listening phase.

Conclusion: The suicidal calls are clearly distinct from the somatic. The respondents unanimously describe entering a different state of mind when the patient expresses suicidal thoughts. The respondents also experience that the psychiatry works poorly, regardless of where in the country they work. Approaching patients with suicidal tendencies is becoming increasingly requested within psychiatry. This is reinforced by some of the respondents also subscribing to the myths surrounding suicide.
