Patients´ experiences of the relationship to nurses in psychiatric care : a literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa är ett samlingsbegrepp för en variation på olika tillstånd inom psykiatrin. Psykisk ohälsa kan drabba alla åldrar och befolkningsgrupper. Individer med psykisk ohälsa upplever ofta stigmatisering vilket skapar barriärer och påverkar individens hälsa. Det är viktig att patientens delaktighet och autonomi eftersträvas i vården.

Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att beskriva sjuksköterske- och patientrelationen inom den psykiatriska vården utifrån patientens perspektiv.

Metod: Examensarbetet genomförs som en strukturerad litteraturstudie med inslag av den metodologi som används vid systematiska översikter. Litteraturöversiktens resultat baseras på 13 vetenskapliga artiklar, varav tio kvalitativa, två kvantitativa och en mixed-method.

Resultat: I sammanställningen av resultatet framkom två huvudkategorier. Patientens upplevelse beskriver upplevelser av relationen, kommunikationen, främjande attityder hos sjuksköterskan och patientens upplevda känslor.Patientens önskemål beskriver önskemål på kommunikationen i relationen och egenskaper hos en sjuksköterska för att få en fungerande relation.

Slutsats: Relationen mellan sjuksköterskor och patienter kan påverka patienters upplevelser av vården. Resultatet i litteraturöversikten visade patienters upplevelser inom vården samt patienters förväntningar. För en god upplevelse av vårdrelationen är det nödvändigt att sjuksköterskor är intresserade, lyhörda, engagerade och individanpassar vården efter patienters problem, behov och resurser.

Abstract [en]

Background: Mental illness is a collective term for a variety of different conditions within psychiatry. It can affect individuals across all age groups and segments of the population. Individuals with mental illness often face stigmatization, which creates barriers to care and negatively impacts their overall health. Promoting patient participation and autonomy is essential in the delivery of psychiatric care.

Aim: The aim of this literature review was to describe the nurse-patient relationship within psychiatric care from the patient´s perspective.

Method: The study is conducted as a structured literature review, in corporating elements of the methodology used in systematic reviews. The findings of the literature review are based on 13 scientific articles, including ten qualitative studies, two quantitative studies, and one mixed-method study.

Results: In the synthesis of the results, two main categories emerged. The patient's experience encompasses perceptions of the nurse–patient relationship, communication, the nurse’s supportive attitudes, and the patient’s emotional responses. The patient’s wishes refer to expectations regarding communication within the relationship and the desired qualities in a nurse that contribute to a functional and effective therapeutic relationship.

Conclusions: The relationship between nurses and patients can affect patients´experiences of care. The results of the literature review showed patients´experiences within the care setting as well as their expectations. For a positive experience of the care relationship, it is essential that nurses are interested, attentive, engaged, and personalize the care according to the patients´ problem, needs, and resources.
