When the clock ticks and the pulse rises – stress in the operating room : A quantitative study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Operationssjuksköterskor hanterade komplexa arbetsuppgifter inom en högteknologisk, stressfylld miljö. Stress, som ofta orsakades av tidspress och arbetsbelastning, kunde leda till utbrändhet. Copingstrategier som socialt stöd, fysisk aktivitet och mindfulness var viktiga för att hantera stress och förbättra välbefinnande.

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att belysa arbetsrelaterad stress hos operationssjuksköterskor.

Metod: En kvantitativ prospektiv tvärsnittsstudie där data samlades in genom enkäter baserades på Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), på 30 operationssjuksköterskor vid 3 sjukhus och analyserades med deskriptiv statistik och korrelationsanalyser. Kvalitativ innehållsanalys användes till de öppna frågorna.

Resultat: Operationssjuksköterskans arbete präglades av hög stress på grund av tidspress, brist på återhämtning och hög arbetsbelastning. Socialt stöd från kollegor och god teamkommunikation minskade stress, medan individuella strategier hade begränsad effekt. Kvinnliga sjuksköterskor rapporterade högre stress än manliga, och erfarna sjuksköterskor hanterade stress och kommunikation bättre. Studien betonade vikten av en förbättrad arbetsmiljö, stärkt teamkommunikation och strukturerat stöd för att minska stress.

Konklusion: Studien visade att operationssjuksköterskors stress påverkades av kön och erfarenhet. Kvinnor upplevde hög arbetsbelastning, män upplevde irritation, och nyanställda hade svårt med stresshantering. För att minska stress och öka välmående rekommenderades ett stödjande klimat, återhämtning och hållbara rutiner som främjade patientsäkerhet.

Abstract [en]

Background: Operating room nurses handled complex tasks in a high-tech, stressful environment. Stress, which was often caused by time pressure and workload, could lead to burnout. Coping strategies such as social support, physical activity and mindfulness were important for managing stress and improving well-being.

Aim: The aim of this study was to highlight work-related stress in operating room nurses.

Method: A quantitative prospective cross-sectional study in which data were collected through questionnaires based on the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), on 30 operating room nurses at 3 hospitals and analyzed with descriptive statistics and correlation analyses. Qualitative content analysis was used for the open questions.

Findings: The operation nurse's work was characterized by high stress due to time pressure, lack of recovery and high workload. Social support from colleagues and good team communication reduced stress, while individual strategies had limited effect. Female nurses reported higher stress than males, and experienced nurses handled stress and communication better. The study emphasized the importance of an improved work environment, strengthened team communication and structured support to reduce stress.

Conclusion: The study showed that operating room nurses' stress was influenced by gender and experience. Women experienced high workload, men experienced irritation, and new employees had difficulty with stress management. To reduce stress and increase well-being, a supportive climate, recovery and sustainable routines that promoted patient safety were recommended.
