Samordnad vårdplanering : Sjuksköterskans upplevelser

by Hammarstrand, Henrik; Olsson, Peter

A coordinated care plan must be carried out before a patient in closed care, that need help from the municipality social services or other open care institutions, can be discharged. This coordinated care planning is accomplished by a team consisting of the nurse responsible for the patient together with a number of representatives from the municipal care. The aim with the study is to elucidate how nurses within the county council experience the coordinated care planning. The method used in this study was a qualitative questionnaire survey and the answers were assessed by using a qualitative content analysis. The results are based on ten questionnaires answered by nurses working at the lung medicine ward in Kärnsjukhuset, Skövde. This study revealed that the nurses experienced stress, frustration, bad conscience and inadequate cooperation in the coordinated care planning; however, they accepted the situation and kept on working.
