The experience of nurses caring for patients with substance addiction in form of drugs and alcohol (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Narkotika och alkoholberoende definieras som kontinuerlig användning av substansen trots skadlig effekt. Under årtiondet har det rapporterats ca 124 000 narkotikabrott i Sverige och detta har ökat med 39%. Alkohol och narkotikaberoende påverkar hjärnan och individens beteende som orsaka oförmåga att kontrollera substans intaget. Personer med substansberoende är oftast stigmatiserade och karaktäriseras som aggressiva och våldsamma individer. Sjuksköterskor har ett stort ansvar i omvårdnaden och att vårda patienter med narkotika eller alkoholberoende kan vara tidskrävande.

Metod: En litteraturöversikt med åtta kvantitativ och kvalitativ vetenskapliga artiklar.

Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenhet av att vårda patienter med substansberoende i form av narkotika och alkohol.

Resultat: Resultaten presenterades i fyra huvudkategorier som består av 1. Brist på kunskap och utbildning. 2. Känsla av rädsla och hotfulla situationer. 3. Frustration och tillitsproblem. 4. Stigmatisering.

Konklusion: Att vårda patienter med alkohol och narkotikaberoende beskrevs att vara utmanande och komplex. Brist på kunskap samt utbildning har visat sig vara den största orsaken till att sjuksköterskor känner sig osäkra att vårda dessa patienter.

Abstract [en]

Background: Alcohol and drug addiction is defined as continuous use of the substance despite the harm it causes. In the last decade, approximately 124 000 drug crimes were reported in Sweden and it has increased 39%. Drug and alcohol addiction affects the brain and the person's behavior which causes the inability to control the drug use. Individuals with substance addiction are often stigmatized and characterized as dangerous and violent people. Nurses have a huge number of responsibilities caring for patients in general and nursing patients with drugs and alcohol addiction can take a lot of effort.

Method: A literature review study with eight scientific articles with quantity and quality research.

Aim: The aim of the study is to describe the experience of nurses caring for patients with alcohol and drug addiction.

Findings: The results are presented in four main themes: 1. Lack of knowledge and education. 2. Feeling of fear and threatening situations. 3. Frustration and mistrust. 4. Stigma.

Conclusion:Caring patients with drugs and alcohol addiction was described as challenging and complex. Lack of knowledge and education was the main reason that nurses felt insecure caring for patients with drug and alcohol addiction.
