Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to describe psychiatric nurses' and diabetes nurses' experiences of care with hospitalized patients with schizophrenia and diabetes.
Design And Methods:
Eight psychiatric nurses and diabetes nurses were interviewed, and the data material was analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA).
Findings:
The analysis showed that nurses lack knowledge about schizophrenia, diabetes, and intersectoral collaboration. It triggers feelings of uncertainty and incapacity.
Practice Implications:
There is a need for more knowledge and organizational adjustments to underpin a more cohesive care to improve living conditions, so that patients may be able to self-manage their illnesses.
