Nurses’ experiences of detecting sepsis : A general literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Sepsis är ett livshotande tillstånd som drabbar ca 50 000 personer i Sverige årligen, varav ca 20 procent avlider. Då sepsis utvecklas snabbt är tidig identifiering av sjukdomen mycket viktig. Sjuksköterskan har en ledande ställning och ett stort ansvar för omvårdnaden, vilket inkluderar förmågan att undersöka och utvärdera patientens hälsa och tidigt upptäcka sepsis.

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa sjuksköterskans erfarenheter av att upptäcka sepsis.

Metod: Denna studie var utförd som en allmän litteraturöversikt.

Resultat: Studien visade vikten av god kommunikation, yrkeserfarenhet hos den enskilda sjuksköterskan, en god förmåga att samarbeta, samt kunna använda utvärderingsverktyg som kunde identifiera sepsis hos patienter. Dessa nämnda faktorer måste ses som en helhet då varje del är viktig för upptäckt av sepsis.

Konklusion: Trots sjuksköterskans erfarenhet fanns det brister avseende upptäckt av sepsis. Utveckling av multidisciplinära sepsisteam, utvärderingsverktyg, kontinuerlig utbildning samt en god arbetsmiljö är faktorer som kan bidra till bättre upptäckt av sepsis.

Abstract [en]

Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that affected about 50 000 people in Sweden each year, of whom about 20 percent die. As sepsis develops rapidly, early identification of the disease is very important. The nurse has a leading role and responsibility in nursing care, which include the ability to examine and assess the patient's health, including early detection of sepsis.

Aim: The aim of the study was to highlight the nurse's experiences of detecting sepsis.

Method: This study was conducted as a general literature review, which is a structured approach and a type of literature review that aims to summarize the current state of knowledge on the selected topic.

Findings: The study showed that, in addition to good communication, practical and theoretical experience of the individual nurse and a good ability to collaborate was also important. There are assessment tools that can identify sepsis in patients. These mentioned factors must be seen as a whole as each part is important in the detection of sepsis.

Conclusion: Despite the nurses' experience, there were gaps in the detection of sepsis. The development of multidisciplinary sepsis teams, assessment tools, continuous education and a good working environment are factors that can contribute to better detection of sepsis.
