Person-centred care during treatment with nasal esketamine - a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients suffering from treatment-resistant depression may be treated with nasal esketamine. The treatment requires administration in a healthcare facility and monitoring by a nurse. Existing research has mainly focused on the clinical effect of nasal esketamine, while less is known about patients' experiences of treatment. A person-centred framework provides valuable insights into care and treatment. By using person-centredeness, the patient turns into a respected contributor in the delivery of care, enabling improved outcomes, better use of resources, reduced costs and increased satisfaction with care. Thus, the aim was to explore patients' experiences of treatment with nasal esketamine utilizing the person-centred nursing framework by McCormack and McCance.
