Sammanfattning
The purpose of this article is to
present the essence of experiencing
meaning in life as a patient
in a nursing home. Such knowledge
is important for improving
the quality and ethics of nursing
practice in nursing homes.
The research question to be answered
is: «What factors contribute
to the patient experiencing
meaning in life in a nursing home
situation?»
Seventeen in depth interviews
with 9 patients in a nursing home
are the basis for the data collection.
The study includes seven
women and two men, the average
age being 79 years. Data are
analysed by Giorgi’s (1) phenomenological
method.
The interviewees contribute with
many stories about their own
experiences of being cared for.
The results point out the essence
of elderly patients’ experiencing
meaning and meaninglessness in
life. The nurse-patient-relation is
central to those experiences.
