Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Kvinnor påverkas av Covid-19 pandemin som bidragit till att förändringar skett inom vården under förlossning samt postnatalt. Forskning har visat att pandemin påverkar kvinnornas psykiska hälsa negativt. Det fanns en oro bland kvinnor att få symptom eller smittas av Covid-19 samt en rädsla över att vårdpersonalen inte skulle vilja vårda dem då. För att öka kunskapen om hur kvinnor upplever sin vårdtid i samband med barnafödande under pandemin, behövs mer forskning. Syfte: Att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av sin vårdtid i samband med barnafödande under pågående Covid-19 pandemi. Metod: Kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats. Semistrukturerade individuella intervjuer utfördes med 10 kvinnor som fött barn under Covid-19 pandemin. Resultat: Dataanalysen resulterade i ett tema, tre kategorier och nio subkategorier. Det övergripande temat som framkom var följande:“Covid-19 pandemin bidrog till känslor av ensamhet och övergivenhet samt ett ökat behov av stöd och trygghet” samt kategorierna: “ Partnerns stödjande roll och möjlighet till delaktighet”, “Vårdpersonalens stödjande roll“ och “Vårdmiljöns betydelse”. Konklusion: Partnerns närvaro är viktig för att kvinnornas ska känna stöd och trygghet. Det finns ett ökat behov av närvaro, kommunikation samt information från barnmorskan.

Semistructured individual interviews were conducted with 10 women who gave birth during Covid-19 pandemic. Results: Data analysis resulted in one theme, three categories and nine subcategories. The overall theme that emerged was following: ”Covid-19 pandemic contributed to feelings of loneliness and abandonment as well as an increased need for support and security” and categories: ”Partner´s supportive role and opportunity for participation”, ”Health professionals supportive role” and ”The importance of the care environment”. Conclusion: Presence of the partner is important for women to feel support and security. There is an increased need for attendance, communication and information from midwives.
