Sammanfattning
The aim of this study was to develop,
implement and describe
counselling in groups as a method
in clinical nursing in relation
to patients with SLE. Further
more, the purpose was to describe
how participation in counseling
could aid the patients to
cope with health-related daily
living challenges and strengthen
their courage to live.
The study was organized as
action research. The analysis is
based on six qualitative group
interviews, three with patients
and three with nurses, and on
fieldnotes.
Counselling of patients in groups
was described as a method in clinical
nursing which can aid
coping, give support and encourage
living. The nurses competency
in both counselling and
rheumatology nursing and medical
treatment were their strength
in realizing the group as a hybrid
of reflectional and educational
dialogues.
The study revealed participation
in counselling as discovering the
common features in the individual
experiences. A confidential communion
encouraged living.
Systematical reflection on action
and personal experiences has
increased understanding and
knowledge of living with SLE.
The study findings point to three
areas of interest for this group of
women suffering from SLE: tiredness
for some to the point of fatigue,
changed self-esteem and
body image and the unpredictability
of the disease and worries
about the future. The study revealed
that in relation to the above
areas both cognitive, emotional
and instrumental coping developed
or improved through the
period of the group.
