The home care staff's experiences of the need for support from nurses when caring at home for people who are at the end of life (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Hemtjänstpersonalen har en central och viktig roll i den palliativa vården. Hemtjänstpersonalen arbetar ofta patientnära och är den som observerar förändringar i patientens mående. Personalen i hemtjänsten har ett stort ansvar. Det är sjuksköterskans/distriktssköterskan ansvar att stödja, utbilda och utveckla hemtjänstpersonalen i deras roll.

Syfte: Undersöka hemtjänstpersonalens upplevelser och erfarenheter av behov av stöd från sjuksköterska/ distriktssköterskan vid vård i hemmet av personer som befinner sig i livets slut.

Metod: Metoden som använts är en semistrukturerad kvalitativ intervjustudie.Telefonintervjuer användes som datainsamlingsmetod. Sex personer från hemtjänsten med olika utbildningar och erfarenheter deltog.

Resultat: Det framkom brister i kommunikation mellan sjuksköterskan och hemtjänstpersonalen, främst under jourtid eller när sjuksköterskan har en annan arbetsgivare än vad hemtjänstpersonalen har. Det framkom också att deltagarna önskar avsatt tid för reflektion efter dödsfall tillsammans med sjuksköterska, men också tillsammans med kollegor.

Slutsats: Ett gott samspel och samarbete med sjuksköterskan/ distriktssköterskan var viktigt för att hemtjänstpersonalen skulle kunna ge bästa möjliga vård.

Abstract [en]

Background: Home care staff have a central and important role in palliative care. The homecare staff often works close to the patient and are the ones who observe changes in the patient's condition. The staff in home care have a great responsibility. It is the nurse's responsibility to support, train and develop the home care staff in their role.

Aim: To examine the home care staff's experiences of the need for support from nurses when caring at home for people who are at the end of life.

Method: The method used is a semi-structured qualitative interview study. Telephone interviews were used as the data collection method. Six people from the home care service with different educations and experiences participated.

Results: There were difficulties in communication between the nurse and the home care staff, mainly during on-call hours or when the nurse has a different employer than the home care staff. It emerged that the participants wish for time set aside for reflection after a death together with a nurse, but also together with colleagues.

Conclusion: A good interaction and cooperation with the nurse was important so that the home care staff could provide the best possible care.
