Experiences of caring for people with dementia : A literature review with a qualitative method (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Idag lever cirka 55 miljoner människor med demensdiagnos i världen varav cirka 160 000 i Sverige. Demens finns i olika typer och saknar botande behandling däremot går symtomen att lindra. Syfte: Att beskriva omvårdnadspersonalens erfarenheter av att vårda personer med demensdiagnos i särskilt boende för äldre personer. Metod: Litteraturöversikt med kvalitativ design inkluderande 14 kvalitetsgranskade artiklar. Data analyserades med hjälp av en femstegsanalys. Resultat: Tre huvudteman yttrades; ”Att bedriva demensvård när organisationen brister”, ”Att samverka med anhöriga och personer med demens” och ”Att vårda demensens emotionella uttryck”. Resultatet visade att omvårdnadspersonalens kunskap är en viktig faktor i vårdandet av demens. Tidsbrist och tung arbetsbelastning är enligt omvårdnadspersonalen förekommande och beror ofta på att personalen är oerfaren. Omvårdnadspersonalen ansåg att kommunikationen mellan patient, personal och anhöriga kan habetydelse i vårdandet. Slutsats: Omvårdnadspersonalen upplevde brister i vårdandet av personer med demens och att förbättring behövdes. Att vårda personer med demens är utmanande och ger upphov till frustration, stress och sorg enligt omvårdnadspersonalen. Mer tid, resurser och utbildad personal behövs för att omvårdnadspersonalen ska kunna ge personerna en demensvård av bra kvalitet. Anhöriga bör synliggöras samt erbjudas delaktighet i vårdandet. Bristande kommunikation kan leda till negativa konsekvenser i vårdandet. 

Abstract [en]

Background: Today, around 55 million people live with a diagnosis of dementia in the world, of which around 160,000 are in Sweden. Dementia comes in different types and lacks curative treatment, however, the symptoms can be alleviated. Purpose: To describe the nursing staff's experiences of caring for people with a diagnosis of dementia in special housing for the elderly people. Method: Literature review with qualitative design including 14 quality-reviewed articles. Data were analyzed using a five-step analysis. Results: Three main themes were expressed; “To provide dementia care when the organization fails”, "To cooperate with relatives and people with dementia" and "To care for the emotional expression of dementia" The results showed that the nursing staff's knowledge is an important factor in the care of dementia. According to the nursing staff, lack of time and heavy workload are common and are often due to the staff being inexperienced. The nursing staff considered that communication between patient, staff and relatives can be important in care. Conclusion: The nursing staff experienced deficiencies in the care of people with dementia and that improvement was needed. Caring for people with dementia is challenging and gives rise to frustration, stress and sadness according to nursing staff. More time, resources and trained personnel are needed for the nursing staff to be able to provide people with dementia care of good quality. Relatives should be made visible and offered participation in the care. Lack of communication can lead to negative consequences in care.
