Relatives' experiences of palliative care at home for their loved ones : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Att vårdas palliativt i hemmet innebär att de sjuke personen får avsluta sitt liv i en bekant och trygg miljö. Det innebär också stora utmaningar för anhörigvårdarna som tar på sig rollen att vårda sin närstående.

Syfte: Syftet var att belysa anhörigas upplevelser av palliativ vård i hemmet för sin närstående.

Metod: En litteraturöversikt användes som metod. Tio vetenskapliga artiklar söktes fram via databaserna Cinahl Complet och Pub Med. Artiklarnas resultat tematiserades baserat på likheter.

Resultat: Dataanalysen resulterade i tre teman: Trygghet, Anhörigas upplevelser av sin roll och Hur anhörigas förbereder sig för döden.

Slutsats: Anhöriga har en central roll i palliativ vård och upplever både trygghet och osäkerhet. Vårdpersonalens kompetens, kontinuitet och närvaro är avgörande för att skapa tillit. Att vårda en närstående i hemmet ses som värdefullt men utmanande och många känner sig oförberedda. Information om döden och palliativ vård ger ökad trygghet.

Abstract [en]

Background: Receiving palliative care at home means that the sick person can end their life in a familiar and safe environment. It also means great challenges for the caregivers who take on the role of caring for their loved ones.

Aim: The purpose was to shed light on the relatives’ experiences of palliative care at home for their loved one.

Method: A literature review was used as the method. Ten scientific articles were searched via the databases Cinahl Complete and PubMed. The results of the articles were thematized based on similarities.

Results: The data analysis resulted in three themes: Security, Relatives´ experiences of their role and How relatives prepare for death.

Conclusion: Relatives play a central role in palliative care and experience both security and uncertainty. The competence, continuity and presence of healthcare professionals are crucial for building trust. Caring for a loved one at home is seen as valuable but challenging and many feel unprepared. Information about death and palliative care provides increased reassurance.
