- Background: Caring for patients in the end-of-life is an emotionally and physically challenging task. Therefore, undergraduate nursing students (UNS) need opportunities to learn to care for the dying patient. This study aimed to describe UNS' experiences of caring for patients at end-of-life. Methods: Interviews with 16 UNS in their last semester of nursing education were conducted. Data were analyzed with a phenomenological approach. Results: The UNS created a professional relationship with the dying patient. It meant that when the patient was unable to speak for themselves, the UNS could still meet his/her wishes and needs. The UNS believed they could take responsibility for the patient who was no longer able to take responsibility for themselves. Meeting with the patient's family could be experienced with anxiousness but was dependent on the personal chemistry between the patient's family and the UNS. Conclusion: The UNS creates a relationship with the patient and their family. To be knowledgeable about the patient's physical and psychosocial needs means that the UNS can support the patient in the end-of-life phase. Being close to the patient and the family results in an intensity of emotions in the care situation. The UNS can receive support from their colleagues during processing their emotions and creating an experience from their encounters with patients in end-of-life care.

Ethics and aesthetics in injection treatments with Botox and Filler
- 2021

- The medical nature of esthetic treatments is confusing, as the boundaries between medicine and beauty are unclear. A person's autonomous decision is an indicator for esthetic treatments that will improve their self-image, self-esteem and appearance to others. Robust ethical consideration is therefore necessary for the medical esthetician in each meeting with the client. This study aimed to describe medical estheticians' perceptions of ethics and esthetics in injection treatments with Botox and Filler. The results are described in Understanding what different clients desire, Reaching a mutual understanding of expectations and possibilities and Taking responsibility for beauty.

Independent and effective care – district nurses’ experiences of prescribing drugs : A systematic qualitative literature review
- 2024
-
In: Nordic journal of nursing research. - : Sage Publications. - 2057-1585 .- 2057-1593. ; 44
-
Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Numerous countries in the world have chosen to allow district nurses to prescribe drugs to streamline the primary care process. This qualitative, systematic literature study aimed to examine district nurses’ experience of prescribing within primary care. The search followed the PRISMA-P search strategy, and the quality assessment of the nine articles was completed using the review template for assessing studies with qualitative methodology, using GRADE CERQual. The databases CINAHL, Pubmed, PsycINFO, and Scopus were used. The result shows that district nurses experience prescribing as crucial for being able to meet patient needs through holistic and person-centered care. Being able to sufficiently and efficiently meet patient needs contributed to increased job satisfaction and professional pride in district nurses. However, district nurses need more collegial support and training in prescribing. The additional burden that the ability to prescribe poses needs to be addressed to prevent limitations in the prescription rights of district nurses. Through an extended prescription right, district nurses can contribute to a more efficient care system that can meet future demand for healthcare services in primary care.

Enhancing the quality of CPR performed by laypeople
- 2018

In: Australasian Journal of Paramedicine. - : Paramedics Australasia. - 2202-7270. ; 15:4
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Introduction The prognosis of survival for a person suffering from cardiac arrest increases when a layperson performs cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on-site. In Sweden, providing CPR training to people working in public places is considered a social benefit. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a 3-hour CPR intervention for electricians. Methods Data were collected through an intervention by means of simulation and consisted of a pre-and post-assessment of the participants’ CPR performance. Results The results show a statistically significant improvement in ventilation (41%) and quality of compression (36%). Conclusion With short rehearsal training, the layperson can significantly improve the quality of CPR given. In a situation of cardiac arrest, this can be crucial for the patient’s survival and continued quality of life.

Ambulance Nurses' Competence and Perception of Competence in Prehospital Trauma Care
- 2018
-
In: Emergency Medicine International. - : Hindawi Publishing Corporation. - 2090-2840 .- 2090-2859.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Introduction. We focus on trauma care conducted in the context of a simulated traumatic event. This is in this study defined as a four-meter fall onto a hard surface, resulting in severe injuries to extremities in the form of bilateral open femur fractures, an open tibia fracture, and a closed pelvic fracture, all fractures bleeding extensively. Methods. The simulated trauma care competence of 63 ambulance nurses in prehospital emergency care was quantitatively evaluated along with their perception of their sufficiency. Data was collected by means of simulated trauma care and a questionnaire. Results. Life-saving interventions were not consistently performed. Time to perform interventions could be considered long due to the life-threatening situation. In comparison, the ambulance nurses' perception of the sufficiency of their theoretical and practical knowledge and skills for trauma care scored high. In contrast, the perception of having sufficient ethical training for trauma care scored low. Discussion. This study suggests there is no guarantee that the ambulance nurses' perception of theoretical and practical knowledge and skill level corresponds with their performed knowledge and skill. The ambulance nurses rated themselves having sufficient theoretical and practical knowledge and skills while the score of trauma care can be considered quite low.
