Experience of self-care for patients diagnosed with heart failure (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Hjärtsvikt medför en förkortad överlevnad där andfåddhet och trötthet är de vanligaste symtomen.  Distriktssköterskan arbetar utifrån en helhetssyn som respekterar patientens autonomi, integritet och att patienten ska vara delaktig i sin vård för att skapa förutsättningar för egenvård. Syftet var att beskriva vad som kunde påverka egenvården för patienter med diagnosen hjärtsvikt. Metod: Den metod som användes var metasyntes. De tolv inkluderade artiklarna granskades och teman och kategorier bildades. Resultat: Fem nyckelteman sammanställdes; viktigt att få tidig hjälp för att känna igen symtom och förebygga med egenvård, informationen har betydelse för egenvården, bemötande och kommunikation emellan vårdgivare och patient har betydelse för följsamheten vid egenvård, medverkan/engagemang stärker egenvården hos patienten samt depression ett hinder för egenvård. Patienter önskade ökade kunskaper och stöd, som stärkt och hjälpte deras förmåga till att övervinna hinder i egenvården. Slutsats: Kommunikation, tid och engagemang är faktorer som ökade välbefinnandet och livskvalitet hos patienter med diagnosen hjärtsvikt, dessa faktorer bör distriktssköterskan ta med sig i sin fortsatta yrkesutövning.
