Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att utifrån ambulanssjuksköterskors berättelser redogöra för upplevelsen av arbetet med HLR vid ett pre-hospitalt omhändertagande och hur fysiska och psykosociala omständigheter kan påverka deras arbetsmiljö samt att undersöka om det automatiska HLR-systemet LUCAS har påverkat arbetssituationen. En kvalitativ intervjustudie med deskriptiv design har genomförts.

Undersökningsgruppen bestod av sex ambulanssjuksköterskor på en ambulansstation i Mellansverige. Intervjuerna genomfördes med semistrukturerade frågor och insamlat material analyserades utifrån en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Utifrån analysen framkom tre kategorier samt temat ”Att känna stöd på arbetsplatsen trots brister i arbetsmiljön”. Resultatet visade att ambulanssjuksköterskorna upplevde arbetsutrymmet i somliga ambulanser så begränsande att det försvårade deras möjlighet att utföra adekvata vårdåtgärder, de upplevde sig vara beroende av LUCAS för att kunna utföra HLR. De upplevde ett svagt stöd från cheferna i frågan om inköp av ambulanser. Vidare framkom att samarbetet med räddningstjänsten var ett viktigt stöd vid HLR samt att en god stämning på arbetsplatsen främjade välbefinnandet. De riktlinjer som ambulanssjuksköterskorna hade att rätta sig efter upplevdes också som ett stöd, samt att det nya HLR-systemet LUCAS till stor del upplevdes avlastande i arbetet med HLR. Författarnas slutsats är att det finns både positiva och negativa upplevelser kring arbetsmiljön bland ambulanssjuksköterskorna och att det behövs mer forskning för att kunna förbättra ambulanssjuksköterskornas arbetsmiljö.

Abstract [en]

The aim of the study was to describe the ambulance nurses’ own experiences of working with pre-hospital CPR and how the physical and psychosocial factors effected their working environment. To investigate if the automatic CPR-system LUCAS have had any impact on their work situation. This study is based on qualitative interviews with a descriptive design.

The study group consisted of six nurses who worked at an ambulance station in the central part of Sweden. The interviews were conducted with semi structured questions and the collected data was analyzed through a qualitative content analysis. The analysis resulted in three categories and a theme. The result showed that the ambulance nurses experienced that the space in some of the ambulances was too limited to be able to provide necessary care for their patients, they experienced being dependent to the LUCAS-device to be able to perform CPR. The ambulance nurses also felt a weak support from the head management when deciding on which ambulance to purchase. Furthermore, it appeared that the cooperation with the emergency services was of a great support when performing CPR as well as creating a good atmosphere between co-workers was of importance for the employee’s wellbeing. The guidelines for the ambulance nurses were also seen as a support as were the new automatic CPR-system LUCAS, which perceived as minimizing the workload on the ambulance personnel during CPR. The authors’ conclusion is that both positive and negative experiences were found in the ambulance personnel´s work environment and that more studies are required in order to improve the ambulance personnel’s work milieu.
