Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Corona-pandemin är högaktuell i dagens samhälle och sjuksköterskor har erhållit erfarenheter i vårdandet av patienter med Covid-19 världen över. Över 4 800 000 människor har avlidit i sviterna av Covid-19 och forskning visar att endast sju procent av 150 vårdavdelningar hade en budget för isolering och karantän samt att sjuksköterskor under tidigare virusutbrott fått erfara hopplöshet och ensamhet samtidigt som de utförde krävande arbete i skyddsutrustning som var svår att arbeta i. Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda patienter med Covid-19 på sjukhus. Metod: En beskrivande litteraturstudie som utgjordes av 13 empiriska studier med kvalitativa ansatser. Databassökning utfördes i databasen PubMed genom sökningar som berör ämnet. I granskningen av valda studier kunde två huvudkategorier, nio underkategorier som följdes av fem underkategorier läggas fram. Huvudresultat: Negativa erfarenheter som att inte känna sinnesro var något sjuksköterskor fick erfara samtidigt som de led av utmattning och utbrändhet. Deltagare fick erfara att inte känna uppskattning. Skyddsutrustning var utmanande för sjuksköterskorna. Dels genom användningen, förekommande materialbrist samt att det ställde deltagarna inför etiska dilemman. Sjuksköterskorna fann positiva erfarenheter som stolthet och teamkänsla, men även professionell utveckling. Socialt stöd och egna strategier utgjorde grunden för att bemästra utmaningarna hos sjuksköterskorna. Slutsats: Kunskapen om sjuksköterskors erfarenheter är viktig då det ger förståelse om sjuksköterskors arbete och utmaningar i vården av patienter med Covid-19. Kunskapen ger möjligheter till förbättringsarbete som gynnar sjuksköterskor i deras arbete för att bidra till en bättre vård för individen.

Abstract [en]

Background: The corona pandemic is a high topic in today's society and nurses have gained experience in caring for patients with Covid-19 worldwide. Over 4,800,000 people have died in Covid-19 and research shows that only seven percent of 150 wards had a budget for isolation and quarantine and that nurses during previous viral outbreak experienced hopelessness and loneliness while performing demanding work in protective equipment that was difficult to work in. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe nurses' experiences of caring for patients with Covid-19 at hospitals. Method:A descriptive literature study that consisted of 13 empirical studies with qualitative approaches. Database searching was performed in the PubMed database through searches related to the topic. In the review of selected studies, two main categories, nine subcategories followed by five subcategories could be presented. Main result: Negative experiences such as not feeling at mindpeace were something nurses experienced at the same time as they suffered from fatigue and burnout. Participants had experience of not feeling appreciated. Protective equipment was challenging to wear for the nurses, through the use of these and also lack of materials and that it caused ethical dilemmas for the concerned participants. The nurses found not only positive experiences such as pridefulness and teamwork, but also professional growth. Social support and own strategies formed the basis for overcoming the challenges of nurses. Conclusion:Knowledge of nurses' experiences are important as these provide an understanding of nurses' work and challenges in the care of patients with Covid-19. The same knowledge provides opportunities for work improvement that benefits nurses in their work to contribute to better care for the individual.
