Touch : A literature review of the so called non-necessary touch in the care of elderly people (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Beröring är livsviktigt genom hela livet. Människor mellan 66 och 100 år är de som får minst beröring. Beröring är en form av icke verbal kommunikation som kan förmedla kontakt och inge trygghet. Då äldre personer ofta får nedsatt kommunikationsförmåga blir den icke nödvändiga beröringen, det vill säga beröring som inte relaterat till omvårdnadsuppgifter, ett naturligt kommunikationsmedel. Syftet: Belysa icke nödvändig beröring i omvårdnaden av äldre personer. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie genomfördes baserat på nio vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultatet: analysen resulterade i kategorierna icke nödvändig beröring i mötet mellan vårdpersonal och äldre vårdtagare, äldre vårdtagares upplevelser av och attityder till icke nödvändig beröring och vårdpersonals upplevelser av och attityder till icke nödvändig beröring. Konklusion: Som sjuksköterska är det viktigt att vara medveten om hur den icke nödvändiga beröringen kan uppfattas av äldre vårdtagare eftersom upplevelsen av beröring kan vara både positiv och negativ.

Abstract [en]

Background: Touch is vital throughout life. People between 66 and 100 years are the ones that receive the least touch. Touch is a form of non-verbal communication that can mediate contact and security. Since older people’s ability to communicate decreases the non-necessary touch, that is, touch that is not related to nursing tasks, becomes a natural way to communicate. Purpose: To highlight non-necessary touch in the care of elderly people. Method: A literature review was conducted based on nine scientific articles. Result: The analysis resulted in the categories non-necessary touch in the encounter between caregivers and elderly care receivers, elderly care receivers' experiences of and attitudes towards non-necessary touch and caregivers' experiences of and attitudes towards non-necessary touch. Conclusion: As a nurse it is important to be aware of how the non-necessary touch can be experienced since the experience can be both positive and negative.
