”Fake it til you make it” - To be a nurse in the front lines during a pandemic : A qualitative interview study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor kommer alltid besitta en viktig roll i vårdandet av patienter där samhällsfarliga sjukdomar existerar. Covid-19 har resulterat i en förändrad vård och det finns idag bristande kunskaper kring hur svenska sjuksköterskor upplevde vården under pandemin. Syfte: Att undersöka sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att vårda patienter med Covid - 19. Metod: Metoden som valdes var en kvalitativ intervjustudie med nio deltagande sjuksköterskor. Materialet analyserades utifrån en kvalitativ innehållsanalys enligt Graneheim& Lundman (2004). Resultat: I resultatet framkom det att känslorna varierade i upplevelsen av att vårda patienter med Covid-19. Det framkom en maktlöshetskänsla av att inte inneha kunskap om sjukdomen vilket ledde till psykisk stress hos sjuksköterskorna. Kunskapsbristen ledde också till en minskad trygghet och patientsäkerhet. Rädslan att själv bli smittad var lägre än att riskera smitta sina anhöriga. Dock var uppskattningen från patienterna en stor bidragande faktor att sjuksköterskor fortsatte gå till arbetet med glädje. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor saknar kunskap och erfarenhet av att vårda patienter med Covid-19 vilket har haft stor betydelse för deras välmående samt patientsäkerheten. Användandet av skyddsutrustning har haft inverkan på den vård sjuksköterskorna bedrev. Det visade sig vara av stor vikt att ta hänsyn till vad sjuksköterskorna kände sig säkra i gällande skyddsutrustning. Upplevelsen av pandemin har varit påfrestande men mycket lärorik.

Abstract [en]

Background: Nurses will always play an important role in the care of patients where socially dangerous diseases exist. Covid-19 has resulted in a change in care and today there is a lack of knowledge about how Swedish nurses experienced care during the pandemic. Aim: To investigate nurses' experiences of caring for patients with Covid - 19. Method: The method chosen was a qualitative interview study with nine participating nurses. The material was analyzed based on a qualitative content analysis according to Graneheim & Lundman (2004). Results: The result showed that the emotions varied in the experience of caring for patientswith Covid-19. There were feelings of powerlessness from not having knowledge about thedisease that have led to mental stress among the nurses. The lack of knowledge also led to reduced security and patient safety. The fear of becoming infected yourself was lower than the fear of infecting someone in their family. However, the appreciation from the patients and a major contributing factor was the reason why nurses returned to work with joy. Conclusion: Nurses lack knowledge and experience of caring for patients with Covid-19, which has been of great importance for their well-being and patient safety. The use ofprotective equipment has had an impact on the care provided by the nurses. It turned out to beof great importance to take into account what the nurses felt safe in current protective equipment. The experience of the pandemic has been stressful but very instructive.
