Nurses attitudes towards obese patients : A quantitativ litterature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor kommer inom vården i kontakt med patienter med fetma. Förutfattade meningar kring fetma skapar attityder. Sjuksköterskors attityder som framkommer i det vårdande mötet kan leda till att patienter med fetma upplever sig diskriminerade. Patienter med fetma undviker vården i högre grad jämfört med patienter med lägre BMI-värde. Attityder som förekommer i det vårdande mötet riskerar att påverka förhållandet mellan sjuksköterska och patient.

Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka sjuksköterskors attityder till patienter med fetma i det vårdande mötet.

Metod: Litteraturöversikt med en induktiv ansats. Resultatet är baserat på elva kvantitativa artiklar som analyserats med Fribergs trestegsmodell.

Resultat: Resultatet visar flera olika attityder som framkommer mot patienter med fetma. Fem olika teman skapades med attityderna som framkom: Vårdandet av patienter med fetma, beroende av patienters livsstil, patienters personliga egenskaper, patienters fysiska hälsa och patienters utseende.

Slutsats: Examensarbetet visar att det framkommer olika attityder till patienter med fetma bland sjuksköterskor. Sjuksköterskor bör ha en kännedom om sina attityder för att värna om relationen till patienter med fetma.

Background: Nurses encounters obese patients when working. Perceptions form attitudes, and the attitudes that occurs during given care can lead to obese patients feeling discriminated against. Obese patients have a higher tendency of avoiding care, compared to patients with normal BMI. Attitudes that exist between nurse and patient can affect the nursing relationship. Risk of delayed or cancelled care is present when attitudes of nurses influence the care given to obese patients.

Aim: To investigate nurses' attitudes towards obese patients in care.

Method: A literature review with an inductive approach.  Articles with quantitative design has been used. The results were based on eleven quantitative articles that were analyzed using the Friberg’s three step model.

Results: The result shows that different types of attitudes exist against obese patients. Five different themes were created with the attitudes that emerged: the care of obese patients, depending on patients’ lifestyle, patients' personal characteristics, physical health of patients and the appearance of patients.

Conclusion: This thesis shows that there are different attitudes towards obese patients among nurses. Nurses should be aware of their attitudes to safeguard the relationship with obese patients.
