Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva hur vårdare inom äldrevården upplever sin arbetssituation. Metoden som använts var en beskrivande litteraturstudie. Data samlades in via databaserna Medline via Pubmed och Cinahl. Sökorden nursing homes, elderly care och geriatric care kombinerades med experience och personnel för att ett så stort område som möjligt av äldrevården skulle ingå i sökningen. Sökordet Scandinavia valdes för att författarna ville fokusera studien på skandinavisk äldrevård. Resultatet visade att vårdarna ansåg tidsbristen vara det som påverkade den goda omvårdnaden negativt, det vill säga att det inte fanns tid att ge den omvårdnad som var önskvärd. Vårdtagarnas anhöriga sågs som en tillgång för de äldres välmående men att de ibland upplevdes som krävande och tålamodsprövande. En dåligt fungerande organisation samt ett dåligt ledarskap var orsak till att de inte kunde se till att de äldres behov av omvårdnad uppfylldes. Den goda kamratskapen och lagandan inom arbetsgruppen var viktig för att kunna ge god vård till de äldre. Positivt ansågs också utbildning och handledning för att kunna reflektera över sitt arbete och göra prioriteringar i arbetet. Arbetstillfredsställelse fick vårdarna genom den glädje som uppstod genom den ömsesidiga närheten mellan vårdare och de äldre. Då vårdarnas arbetsinsatser bekräftades uppstod positiva känslor.

Abstract [en]

The aim of this study was to describe how carers in the elderly care experience their work situation. The method used was a study of literature with descriptive design. Data was collected via the databases Medline and Cinahl. The search words were nursing homes, elderly care and geriatric care in combination with experience and personnel, because the authors wanted a wide database search. The search word Scandinavia was used because the authors wanted to focus on the Scandinavian elderly care. The result shows that the carers thought it was the lack of time that affected the good care of the elderly. The elder's relatives were considers as a resource for the elder's wellbeing but sometimes as demanding and as trying the carers patience. The carers thought that a poor organisation and management were some of the reasons to why the elders' need of good care was not implemented. Good fellowship and team spirit in the working group were important for giving good care to the elderly. Education and supervision helped the carers to reflect and prioritise their work.  The carers felt work satisfaction through the mutual togetherness between them and the elderly. When the carers work efforts were confirmed positive feelings aroused.
