Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: År 2019 upptäcktes det nya coronaviruset Covid-19 som idag är en samhällsfarlig sjukdom som hotar hälsan hos miljontals människor världen över. Medvetna om att den egna hälsan hotas möter sjuksköterskorna med värdighet de Covid-19-smittade patienterna. Iklädd personlig skyddsutrustning i syfte att förhindra smittspridning kämpar sjuksköterskorna mot smittspridningen. Syfte: Sjuksköterskors upplevelse av att vårda inneliggande patienter med Covid-19. Metod: En litteraturstudie baserad på 12 artiklar med kvalitativ ansats Resultat: Ur analysen identifierades två huvudteman; Att vara människan bakom masken som beskriver sjuksköterskors inre konflikter där yrkesprofessionen ställdes mot de personliga känslorna. Hjälplöshet av otillräcklig kunskap som beskriver sjuksköterskors upplevda oro inför virusets komplexitet vilket påverkade självförtroendet och fick dem känna sig som en belastning, med fyra underteman. Konklusion: Skyddsutrustningen skapade kommunikativa problem med patienter och kollegor. Sjuksköterskor upplevde frustration och oro över situationen som hotade patientsäkerheten och den egna hälsan. Trots stundtals bristande tro över den egna kompetensen fann sjuksköterskorna nya stödjande relationer som visat sig stärka den psykiska hälsan. Upplevelsen av arbetet mot Covid-19 präglades initialt av rädsla men sjuksköterskorna fann längs vägen nya styrkor och berikades med erfarenheter gällande vård av kritiskt sjuka patienter.

Abstract [en]

Background: In 2019, the new coronavirus Covid-19 was discovered, which today is a socially dangerous disease that threatens the health of millions of people around the world. Although their own health is threatened, the nurses meet the Covid-19-infected patients with dignity. Wearing personal protective equipment to prevent the spread of infection, the nurses fight against the spread of infection. Aim: To describe nurses experiences of caring for hospitalized patients with Covid-19. Method: A literature study based on 12 qualitative articles. Results: The analysis identified two main themes; To be the person behind the mask that describes nurses' inner conflicts where the professional profession was set against the personal feelings. Helplessness of incomplete knowledge that describes nurses' perceived concerns about the complexity of the virus, which affected their self-confidence and made them feel like a burden, with four subthemes. Conclusion: The protective equipment created communicative problems. Nurses experienced frustration and anxiety about the situation that threatened patient safety. Despite doubts about their own competence, the nurses found new supportive relationships that strengthened mental health. The experience of working against Covid-19 is characterized by fear, but the nurses found new strengths along the way and were enriched with experiences regarding the care of critically ill patients.
