Abstract [sv]

Viktnedgång är ett ofta förekommande fenomen hos patienter med allvarlig sjukdom. Erfarenheten visar att det inte talas mycket om detta inom vården. Syftet med denna studie var att få en djupare insikt i hur patienten upplever sin viktnedgång och vad sjuksköterskan kan göra i sin omvårdnad för att hjälpa patienten att bibehålla sin vikt. Metoden är en litteraturstudie av tretton vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultatet visar att patienten upplever en förändrad självbild, känner begränsningar i sitt sociala liv, tappar kontrollen över livet vilket är faktorer som påverkar hennes livskvalitet till det sämre. Det var viktigt att vårdpersonalen lyssnade och verkligen förstod vad de menade. Att använda ett verktyg för nutritionsstatus gav bra resultat för att hitta malnutrierade patienter. Det gav stora vinster för både patienten och samhället. Det framkom konkreta insatser, tex att göra miljön kring matsituationen så tilltalande som möjligt. Det framkom från patienterna att det var viktigt hur informationen var utformad och det spelade en stor roll när den gavs.

It was important that nursing staff were listening and really understood what they ment. The use of assessment tool for nutrition status was successful to find malnutrition patients. It gave a considerable gain for both patients an the society. There were concrete efforts to make the environment around the food situation as good as possible.
