Metod: Den metod som användes var systematisk litteraturstudie. Nio artiklar inkluderades. De granskades och huvudkategorier med underkategorier bildades. Resultat: De sex kategorier som framkom var; Brister i kommunikation, information och stöd; Existentiella; Dyspné; Fatigue och depression; Ångest och Minskad rörelseförmåga. Patienternas behov var symtomlindring, god omvårdnad och bättre kommunikation vid vård i livets slutskede. Konklusion: Distriktsköterskan fungerade som en länk åt patienten. Samarbete med andra professioner var önskvärt. Kunskap, information, symtomlindring och god vård spelade en viktig roll i omvårdnaden av patienter med hjärtsvikt.
