Overweight patients in the Health Care System : To encounter and to be encountered (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Övervikt är ett folkhälsoproblem i västvärlden. Att leva med övervikt kan innebära ett stort lidande. Sjuksköterskan är ofta den som har mest regelbundna kontakter med överviktiga patienter. Sjuksköterskans uppgift är att bemöta patienter på ett värdigt sätt oavsett ålder, utseende, funktion eller prestationsförmåga. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa bemötandet av patienter med övervikt i hälso- och sjukvården. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en litteraturstudie baserat på nio vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Resultatet presenteras ur två perspektiv, ett patientperspektiv och ett sjukvårdspersonalsperspektiv. Studien visade att bemötandet till överviktiga patienter upplevdes både positivt och negativt. Patienterna upplevde att de fick en god relation med sjukvårdspersonalen. Andra tyckte att de blev dömda direkt utifrån sin övervikt. Sjukvårdspersonal upplevde att övervikt var ett känsligt område att arbete inom. Slutsats: För en lyckad vårdrelation där bemötandet upplevs positivt bör sjukvårdspersonalen vara medveten om sina attityder och se hela människan.

 

Abstract [en]

Background: Overweight is a public health problem in the Western world, and the disease can cause severe suffering. Usually, the nurse has the most contact on a frequent basis with overweight patients. The nurse’s task is to treat patients in a dignified manner regardless of age, appearance, function or capacity. Aim: The aim with this literature study was to enlighten the encountering with overweight patients in the health care system. Method: This study was carried out as a literature study based on nine scientific articles. Result: The result is presented from the patient’s perspective as well as from the health care professionals’ perspective. The study shows that the encountering with overweight patients is experienced both negatively and positively. The patients could feel that they established a good relationship to the health care professionals. Other patients experienced that they were judged directly by their overweight. The health care professionals experienced that overweight were a sensitive area to work within. Conclusion: For a caring relation where the encountering is experienced as positive, the health care professionals should be aware of their attitudes in the caring relation and consider the different aspects of the human they treat.
