The aim of this study was to illuminate the nursing staff's lived experiences and meaning in giving tactile massage (TM) while caring for patients in short-term emergency ward.
Data were collected through individual qualitative interviews with six nurses and eight assistant nurses working with TM in short-term emergency wards in two hospitals in Sweden. The narratives were analyzed using a phenomenological hermeneutical method.
Nurses experienced providing TM to patients as a present awareness in connection with compassion for the patient. TM provided the nurses with a tool to ease patient suffering and pain. Three dimensions were found where touch became a tool of doing, was an aware presence as a mindful being, and was embodied in a human-to-human connection with a changed caregiver.
Given the current high-tech health care system with overcrowded units and a shortage of nursing staff, TM could be included as a caring tool to improve the caring in caregiving, allowing nurses to act in aware presence by touch to encourage health and well-being for both the patient and themselves.
本研究旨在阐明护理人员在短期急诊病房护理患者时进行触觉按摩（TM）的生活体验及意义。
通过对瑞典两家医院短期急诊病房中从事TM工作的六名护士和八名助理护士进行个人定性访谈收集数据。采用现象学诠释学方法对访谈内容进行分析。
护士们将为患者提供TM体验为一种与对患者的同情相关的当下意识。TM为护士们提供了减轻患者痛苦和疼痛的工具。发现了三个维度，在这些维度中，触摸成为一种行动工具，是作为有意识存在的一种觉知在场，并体现在与转变后的护理者的人际联系中。
鉴于当前高科技医疗系统中病房拥挤且护理人员短缺的情况，TM可作为一种护理工具纳入其中，以改善护理工作，使护士能够通过触摸以觉知在场的方式行动，促进患者和自身的健康与福祉。
