Tiivistelmä
Although nurses possess various skills for accomplishing care tasks, this thesis project focuses on nursing skills implementation as palliative caregivers in home settings. Sequel to chronic nature of the diseases, which affect a patient who requires palliate care, nurses should follow certain guideline when taking care of the patient.
This thesis project is to write a guidebook for palliative care nurses working for a private Finnish social and health care company. This project was implemented by sourcing for materials through online databases and seeking the opinion of the social and health care company workers, which we used as an example of home-care service providers for palliative patients, in respect to whether a guidebook would be beneficial to nurses as well as the patients.
This thesis project’s purpose is to increase the palliative nursing skills in home-care settings, which will help palliative care nurses to understand the necessary skills needed to ensure good quality implementation of palliative care.
The aim is to write a guidebook for nursing skills implementation, in order to effect a positive improvement in the lives of palliative patients and that of their family members since the main palliative care goal is to improve the quality of lives of palliative patients and that of their families.
Nurses also face challenges during palliative care. This thesis project only set guidance for nursing skills implementation, thus further studies should be carried out to set a guidance for nurses regarding handling challenges they might face during palliative care; particularly, palliative care for patients in home setting.
This thesis project can be used to give orientation to nurses who are working in palliative care settings as well as for teaching nursing students at universities or other institutions.
