Sammanfattning
The aim of this paper is to present
and describe factors influencing
the opportunities for people with
terminal cancer to die at home.
The theoretical framework was
developed from relevant literature:
present research, Orem’s nursing
model and elements from hospicephilosophy.
A deductive, descriptive
design was used. 31 primary
care-givers, relatives of people
with terminal cancer who have
died at home, have been interviewed.
The results have been
analysed by means of Miles and
Huberman’s three point process. A
model presenting the factors identified
in this study has been developed.
This chart contains the following
factors: Autonomy, Availability
of relatives, Maintenance of
self-care deficits for the person
with terminal cancer, Maintenance
of self-care deficits for the relatives,
Availability of nursing care
and Equipment availability.
The findings illustrate the importance
of nurses’contribution to
relatives coping with different
aspects of the patient’s condition.
The relatives describe that they
want the nurse to help the patient
with practical options and functions,
e.g related to self-care deficits
and symptom relief. The study
results show the necessity of supporting
the relatives as well, especially
when they need rest and leisure,
and time to eat and sleep.
