Sammanfattning
The study was carried out at a
surgery ward in Norway, November
1997 to January 1998. 12
patients were interviewed, 8 men
and 4 women. The average age
was 73,6 years. The study used a
hermeneutical method. The participants
had been trough a relatively
big operation in the colonrectum
area. Most of them were in
need of help to body care. They
were interviewed once, about 1-2
weeks after surgery. The study
indicate that technology don’t
need to hinder the experience of
good nursing. The patients seemed
to have a deep force towards
independence, and they seemed to
appreciate the nurse being
slightly paternalistic. They didn’t
experience the nursing situation
as sexual, and didn’t seem to feel
embarrassed when undressed, but
one woman and one man wouldn’t
be nursed by men. Tree of four
women expressed scepticism
towards male nurses. The scepticism
seemed to disappear when
they had experienced male nurses
in concrete situations. All the
patients, except from two men,
would be happy to be massaged
at the back and on the feet. The
patients didn’t seem to pay much
attention to the nurses hands.
They had difficulties in separating
the hands from the total nursingrelation.
The nurses were welcome
to use more humour. The majority
of the patients expressions indicate
satisfaction with the nursing
they received, although they experienced
the nurses as very busy
persons.
