The patient`s sexual health : A challenging topic of conversation for the nurse - A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Begreppet hälsa är komplext och innefattar flera olika delar, bland annat sexuell hälsa. Människans sexuella hälsa riskerar att påverkas vid exempelvis åldrande, läkemedelsbehandling eller sjukdom. Patienter upplever att de själva får ta initiativ till att inleda en kommunikation kring sin sexuella hälsa. De önskar att sjuksköterskor istället initierar samtalsämnet, då det underlättar för patienterna att våga lyfta frågor. Sjuksköterskan kan ta hänsyn till patienters önskan samt sitt professionella ansvar genom att ha kunskap inom området och öppna upp för samtal. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av kommunikation kring sexuell hälsa i patientmötet. Metod: Den kvalitativa litteraturöversikten baserades på 13 vetenskapliga artiklar. Analysen genomfördes utifrån en femstegsanalys beskriven av Friberg. Resultat: Sjuksköterskor uttryckte att ämnet var känsligt att diskutera. Egna värderingar och kunskaper inom området visade sig påverka huruvida samtalsämnet togs upp av sjuksköterskan eller inte. Dessutom visade sig strukturella faktorer vara betydelsefulla. Det förekom delade meningar gällande vem som bar ansvaret för att lyfta frågor kring sexuell hälsa. Slutsatser: För att främja kommunikation kring sexuell hälsa behöver sjuksköterskor erbjudas mer utbildning inom ämnet. Verksamheterna behöver utveckla rutiner, riktlinjer samt ge tillgång till en avgränsad samtalsmiljö.

Abstract [en]

Background: The concept of health is complex and includes sexual health as well. Sexual health may be affected by aging, medication or illness. Patients experience that they need to take the initiative to initiate a communication about their sexual health. Instead they want nurses to bring up the subject, as it facilitates for patients to ask questions. Nurses can meet patient's wishes and take their professional responsibility by having knowledge in the area and raise the topic. Aim: To describe nurses experiences of communication about sexual health in the meeting with patients. Method: The qualitative literature review was based on 13 scientific articles. The analysis was followed out by a five-step analysis described by Friberg. Result: Nurses expressed that the topic was sensitive to discuss. Their own values ​​and knowledge in the area were found to influence whether the subject was raised or not. Furthermore, structural factors were proved to be important. Various opinions prevailed regarding the responsibility for raising issues related to sexual health. Conclusions: To promote communication about sexual health, nurses need to be offered more education on the subject. The healthcare needs to develop routines, guidelines and provide access to a private environment.
