Patienternas upplevelser av sjuksköterskornas bemötande vid substansbrukssyndrom : En beskrivande litteraturstudie

Sammanfattning: Substance use disorder is a medical diagnosis who affects approximately one of ten adults in Sweden. Nursing relation on a mutual level is created when the nurse sees the person behind the disease, the care can then be giving from a person-centred approach. The care shall be given from all human’s equal value. Aim: To describe nurses’ treatment against patients with substance use disorder- from the patients’ perspective. Method: A descriptive literature study based on ten scientific articles, of which nine were qualitative and one were quantitative Main result: The patients experienced a fear to tell about their substance use in the meeting with health care. This fear affected patients' care when adequate drug treatment couldn´t be met. In this patient group is comorbidity plain occurring, a holistic view was missed when only one of the diagnoses were treated. The weight of total abstinence of drugs was experienced to be more important than quality of life. What on the other hand made a difference in a positive way in the treatment of this group of patients was the nurse’s education and their personal experiences of relatives with substance use disorder. Conclusion: A big share of the patients experienced the meeting with the health care as condemnatory and disparage which led to the patients avoiding the health care system. That is why it is important that the nurses focus on treating the patients from their symptoms which they seek treatment for initially and minimize withdrawal symptoms. Nurses with higher education tend to have a better treatment.
