? g? med i pasienten si livsverd. Tankar omkring ei sjukepleieforteljing

摘要

Based on a nursing experience from a Norwegian local hospital, we reflect on?the personal narrative in the story presented as well as on?essential caring near the end of life. Important questions are: What will the challenging tasks be in nursing?following a patient′s life world??How?does such a practice and way of being in the world?affect the relationship between nurse and patient? The focus of discussion is how a nurse possibly can be open, receiving and personal connected, and through such a practice be able to?support patients to?live their lives in spite of life threatening illness.The authors emphasize the existential dimensions of the relationship between a nurse and a patient. The nurse can support her patients to express themselves in many different ways, in her communication. For this to happen depends on the nurse′s ability to be open and personally present in her meeting with the patient.
