Personer som lever med hiv - Upplevelser av mötet med vårdpersonalen : En kvalitativ litteraturstudie

Sammanfattning: Background: The disease HIV was brought to attention in the 1980s. Today, there is effective treatment for the disease that allows a well-treated person to live a long life as others, without the risk of infecting someone. Living with HIV means lifelong contact with healthcare. This put demands on the healthcare personnel, including the nurse, to offer good care and good treatment. Aim: To describe how people living with HIV experience the encounter with the healthcare personnel. Method: A qualitative literature review. The databases CINAHL and PubMed were used to produce ten articles that were analyzed through a qualitative content analysis. Results: Two categories were identified, discriminatory meetings and confirmed meetings. Six subcategories were identified based on the two categories. Conclusions: A prerequisite for good care is a working meeting between the health care personnel and the patient. People living with HIV have experiences of both good and bad encounters with health care personnel. The healthcare personnel need increased knowledge about HIV to improve their encounters with people living with HIV.
