Nurses experiences to care for palliative patients with a different cultural background. : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Antalet människor som bor utanför sitt födelseland har ökat både i Sverige och globalt. Denna ökning av internationell rörlighet har medfört en ökad kulturell diversitet och mångfald inom våra samhällen. I detta sammanhang blir kulturell kompetens och personcentrerad vård alltmer viktiga, särskilt för sjuksköterskor som möter palliativa patienter med olika kulturella bakgrunder. Syftet: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av palliativ vård med patienter med annan kulturell bakgrund. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en litteraturöversikt, där det inkluderades 12 vetenskapliga artiklar med kvalitativ design. Databaserna som användes var Cinahl, Sociology database och Medline. Fribergs femstegsanalys användes för dataanalys. Resultat: Dataanalysen resulterade i 2 huvudteman: utmaningar som påverkar sjuksköterskans roll och kulturella anpassade strategier som bidrar till en god palliativ vård. Subteman som framkom är: språkbarriär och kommunikationssvårigheter, bristande kunskap inom kulturell kompetens, familjens roll, förståelse för olika kulturer, delaktighet och partnerskap, förbättrade kommunikationsfärdigheter. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor inom palliativ vård av patienter med en annan kulturell bakgrund upplever att det är viktigt att besitta kulturell kompetens i åtanke vid behandling av dessa patienter. Utmaningar som betonades av sjuksköterskor inkluderade familjens roll, bristande kulturell kompetens och språkbarriärer. Olika strategier för att hantera dessa utmaningar inkluderade att förstå olika kulturer, utveckla kommunikationsfärdigheter och skapa partnerskap som främjar patientens delaktighet.

Abstract [en]

Background: The number of people living outside their country of birth has increased both in Sweden and globally. This rise in international mobility has led to increased cultural diversity and multiculturalism within our societies. In this context, cultural competence and person-centered care become increasingly crucial, especially for nurses who encounter palliative patients with diverse cultural backgrounds.

Aim: The aim of this study is to describe nurses' experiences to care for palliative patients with a different cultural background. Method: The study was conducted as a literature review, where 12 scientific articles with a qualitative design were included. The databases used were Cinahl, Sociology database and Medline. Friberg's five-step analysis was used for data analysis. Result: The data analysis resulted in 2 main themes: challenges that affect the nurse's role and culturally adapted strategies that contribute to good palliative care. The subthemes were: language barrier and communication difficulties, deepening knowledge in cultural competence, the role of the family, understanding of different cultures, participation and partnership, improved communication skills. Conclusion: In summary, nurses in palliative care of patients with a different cultural background felt that it is important to have cultural competence in mind when treating these patients. Challenges highlighted by nurses included the role of the family, lack of cultural competence and language barriers. Various strategies to address these challenges included understanding different cultures, developing communication skills, and creating partnerships that promote patient participation.
