Tiivistelmä
Nurses play an important role in providing care to people with dementia. However, little attention is paid to the challenges nurses experience in their effort to provide care to people with dementia. This study seeks to explore challenges experienced by nurses in their effort to provide nursing care to people with dementia.
The study is done using qualitative literature review as a method with a deductive approach to analyze the data. Eight peer-reviewed articles were selected and analyzed. The study used Jean Watson´s theory of human caring to understand the nurse´s challenging experiences.
Presented in categories and sub-categories, the study establishes that nurses experience both mental, organizational and physical challenges which hinder their effort to provide care and improve on the nurse-patient relationship.
