Sammanfattning
Background: Among nurses, there was a general opinion that cancer patients are rarely
receiving an IP. The IP is very important in achieving the patient’s collaboration regarding decision
making.
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore and document obstacles regarding why the nurses
are not preparing an Individual plan (IP) for cancer patients when they are in need of multiple
services from the health care sector.
Method: This study used a Mixed Methods design.
Results: The respondents comprised of 68 nurses and 35 leaders. Available time for writing up an IP
was mentioned as an obstacle among 44 prosent of the participants. The results showed that 47
prosent were, to a lesser degree, comfortable with the system and capable of working out an IP.
Among the participants, 63 prosent answered that the impetus to write up an IP has to be upon
instruction from the leader.
Conclusion: Obligation from the leader to complete IPs for cancer patients, and availability of time
among the nursing staff to do so, are the necessary conditions to fulfil the right for those with cancer
to have their IP.
