To care in a pandemic : Nurses experience of caring patients with Covid-19 (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Smittsamma sjukdomar har funnits i alla tider. När sjuksköterskor möter patienter med smittsamma sjukdomar ska de tillhandahålla trygg vård som grundar sig på teoretisk och praktisk kunskap. I dag möter sjuksköterskor patienter som bär på Covid-19 som är en smittsam sjukdom. Forskning om vilka omvårdnadskompetenser som krävs för de som är i frontlinjen under en global katastrof är begränsade Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda patienter med Covid-19. Metod: En litteraturöversikt baserad på 12 artiklar med både kvalitativ och kvantitativ ansats: Resultat: Ur analysen identifierades fyra teman; Vårda i ovisshet; Rädsla för smitta; Utmaningar att arbeta i skyddsutrustning och Stödets betydelse. Konklusion: Sjuksköterskor saknar information och erfarenhet av att arbeta med Covid-19. Trots att flertalet sjuksköterskor innehar specialistutbildningar räcker inte det för att bemästra denna pandemi. Sjuksköterskor som arbetar med Covid-19 löper en stor risk för yrkesmässig exponering som leder till en stark rädsla för smitta och att smitta sina familjemedlemmar. Utmaningar att arbeta i skyddsutrustning samt bristen på skyddsutrustning har lett till både psykiska och fysiska påfrestningar. Det har bevisats att familjen, teamet och arbetsgivaren är ett viktigt stöd för sjuksköterskor i denna pandemi.

Abstract [en]

Background: Infectious diseases have always existed. When nurses meet patients with infectious diseases, they should offer to provide care based on theoretical and practical knowledge. Today nurses meet the majority of patients carrying Covid-19 which is a contagious disease. Research on the nursing skills required for those at the forefront during a global disaster is limited: Aim: To describe nurses' experience of caring for patients with Covid-19: Method: A literature review based on 12 articles with both qualitative and quantitative approach: Results: From the analysis, four themes were identified; To nurture in uncertainty, Fear of infection, Challenges of working in protective equipment and The need of support: Conclusion: Nurses lack information and experience of working with Covid-19. Despite the fact that most nurses have specialist training, this is not enough to overcome this pandemic. Nurses who work with Covid-19 are at high risk for occupational exposure, which leads to a strong fear of infection and of infecting their family members. Challenges to work in protective equipment and the lack of protective equipment have lead to both mental and physical strain. It has been proven that the family, the team and the employer are an important support for nurses in this pandemic.
