Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Covid-19 upptäcktes i Kina i slutet av året 2019 och spreds snabbt över hela världen. Covid-19 orsakade flera dödsfall och klassas som ett internationellt hot mot människors hälsa. Omkring 21 620 människor i Sverige avled i sviterna av Covid-19. Utvecklingen av Covid-19 har lett till omfattande förändringar och omprioriteringar inom vården. Inom hälso- och sjukvården fick sjuksköterskor under pandemin möta allvarliga utmaningar som inkluderade okunskap om viruset och brist på resursers som skyddsutrustning. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenhet av att vårda patienter med Covid-19 inom slutenvård. Metod: En beskrivande litteraturstudie baserad på 14 granskade artiklar tillgängliga i databasen PubMed. Resultat: 4 teman identifierades; Rädsla för att bli smittade och smitta andra med Covid-19 som berör sjuksköterskornas rädsla, oro och ångest, Sjuksköterskornas erfarenhet av att arbeta med skyddsutrustning som berör påverkning av omvårdnadsarbete och kommunikationssvårigheter, Erfarenhet gällande bristande kunskap och information om Covid-19 som berör osäkerhet om vilken behandling som är lämplig för Covid-19 patienter, bristande beredskap och dess påverkan hos sjuksköterskor, Sjuksköterskans positiva och negativa erfarenhet av att vårda patienter med Covid-19 som berör sjuksköterskans känsla av stolthet, ökad självförtroende och stöd från samhället. Faktorer som berör negativ erfarenhet hos sjuksköterskor är tung arbetsbelastning och rädsla. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskorna beskrev att de behövde kunskap och information om Covid-19 viruset för att ge en god och säker vård. Sjuksköterskorna beskrev även deras svårigheter av att arbeta med skyddsutrustning i vårdandet av patienter med Covid-19. Stöd från samhället och kollegor var viktigt för sjuksköterskor under pandemiutbrottet. 

Abstract [en]

Background: Covid-19 was discovered in China at the end of the year 2019 and spread rapidly throughout the world. Covid-19 caused several deaths and is classified as an international threat to human health. Around 21,620 people in Sweden died in the aftermath of Covid-19. The development of Covid-19 has led to extensive changes and re-prioritization in healthcare. In health care, nurses during the pandemic had to face serious challenges that included ignorance about the virus and a lack of resources such as protective equipment. Aim: Describe the nurse's experience of caring for patients with Covid-19 in hospital. Method: A descriptive literature study based on 14 reviewed articles available in the database PubMed. Findings: 4 themes were identified; Fear of being infected and infecting others with Covid-19 that concerns the nurses' fear, worry and anxiety of being infected and infecting others, family members and patients, The nurses' experience of working with protective equipment that concerns the impact on nursing work and communication difficulties, Experience regarding lack knowledge and information about Covid-19 that concerns uncertainty about which treatment is suitable for Covid-19 patients, lack of preparedness and its impact on nurses, The nurse's positive and negative experience of caring for patients with Covid-19 which affects the nurse's sense of pride, increased self-confidence and support from society. Factors that affect the nurses' negative experience are heavy workload and fear. Conclusion: The nurses described that they needed knowledge and information about the Covid-19 virus to provide good and safe care. The nurses also described their difficulties in working with protective equipment in caring for patients with Covid-19. Support from society and colleagues was important for the nurses during the Covid-19 pandemic.
