Summary
This is an intervention study focusing on both medical and nursing questions. The study is a
joint project between the Ambulance services at four cities in West Sweden and Knowledge and
research centre, PreHospen at University of Borås. The aim is to prove the importance of a
caring relation between a patient and a caregiver in cases when a caregiver treats a patient
with benzodiazepines (Midazolam). The overall aim is to show that knowledge and skills in
both caring science and medicine can be applied at the same time in order to relieve pain and
anxiety in acute myocardial disease.
The nursing intervention involves a professional development course for caregivers. The
course is expected to deepen the caregivers' knowledge about the encounter with patients as
well as cardiovascular treatment.
