• W150900661 abstract "The overall objective of the thesis is to describe and illustrate the experience of being an arthroplastic surgery patient during the perioperative period with regard to the issues of communication, pain,suffering and satisfaction with care. While waiting for surgery, the participants in this thesis experience suffering in different ways and mainly experience health care as being unavailable and negative in a faceless system (I). Obtaining information related to their illness is difficult, as it is hard to establish contact with health care providers. The responsibility for establishing contact and obtaining information rests solely with the patients (II). In Paper I, due to poor communication, the respondents express feelings of abandonment, anonymity and being disparaged by the health care system. During the participants' journey through the health care system, the negative experience acquires a more positive nature, as personal contacts are established with health care representatives (I-IV). The findings in the different papers (I-IV) are interpreted in the light of Katie Eriksson and Lennart Fredriksson’s descriptions of suffering and the caring conversation. There are participants in this thesis who have been able to reach a personal understanding of themselves and have found reconciliation in suffering. In this way, they have been able to maintain or obtain meaning in their lifeworld. Through their own power, or with the help of family and friends, individuals may be able to attain confirmation of their suffering, have the time and space to suffer and find reconciliation. However, as long as health care is experienced as a faceless system, there are individuals in this study who are unable to face their suffering. During the patients’ journey through the system, it becomes obvious that the system obtains a face when the individuals are able to establish trustful contact with an actual person within the system. The system does not obtain a face as long as the individuals perceive themselves as being poorly treated by health care representatives. In these cases, the system is actually the cause of additional suffering. In the terms defined by Fredriksson, the system obtains a face when a turning point occurs in the form of a caring conversation. During the waiting time, there are few opportunities for a caring conversation. An opportunity is more likely to occur when the individual is admitted to hospital. This is reflected in the extensive degree of satisfaction with care as expressed in Papers II-IV. High levels of satisfaction are reported, although the participants report having experienced high levels of postoperative pain. In Paper III, 68% (n=40) and, in Paper IV, 83.5% (n=50) of the patients experienced pain of ≥ 4 on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). When they have been admitted to hospital, the individuals sense that they are confirmed by and visible in the system. This visibility is mutual, as the individual becomes an actual person to health care representatives. In a caring conversation, a sense of trust is established and, as this occurs, the individual and the care provider dare to communicate in an open way, where both are present in the situation." @default.
