Nurses´ experiences of caring patients with Covid-19 : a literature review (English)
Abstract [en]

Background: Infectious diseases due to viruses often originate from infected humans and animals and have for a long time been a major threat to humans and society. In December 2019, a new coronavirus was discovered which has been named SARS-CoV-2 and causes the disease Covid-19. This leads to a pandemic and quickly puts great pressure on healthcare globally. Being a nurse during a pandemic has proven to be challenging but also rewarding.

Aim: The aim was to examine the experiences of registered nurses caring for COVID-19 patients.

Method: The method is a literature review based on 7 qualitative, 2 quantitative and one mixed article. The articles were obtained in the databases CINAHL Complete and PubMed, published in the last 2 years with the keywords Nurses, Experience, Attitude, Nursing, Nursing care and Covid-19. The analysis method used was Friberg's and Henderson's nursing theory was used as a model.Results:The analysis identified three themes. To work under threat of infection, to perform nursing in challenging circumstances and changed view of the nursing profession.

Conclusion: Nurses who worked with care of Covid-19 patients experienced that lack of experience led to clinical nursing suffering. The fear of becoming infected affects them both mentally and physically. It was an ethical dilemma to perform care of infectious patients without adequate protective equipment. The support from society and patients has strengthened nurses' profession.Keywords:Attitude, Covid-19, Experience, Nurses, Nursing, and Nursing care.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Smittsamma sjukdomar på grund av virus härstammar ofta från sjuka människor och djur och har länge varit ett stort hot mot människan och samhället. I december 2019 upptäcktes ett nytt coronavirus som får namnet SARS-CoV-2 och orsakar sjukdomen Covid-19. Det leder till en pandemi och sätter snabbt stor press på sjukvården världen över. Att vara sjuksköterska under en pandemi har visat sig vara utmanande men även givande.

Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda patienter med Covid-19.

Metod: Metoden är en litteraturöversikt baserad på 7 kvalitativa, 2 kvantitativa och en mixad artikel. Artiklarna hittades i databaserna CINAHL Complete och PubMed och var publicerade de senaste två åren. Sökord som användes var Nurses, Experience, Attitude, Nursing, Nursing care och Covid-19. Analysmetoden som användes var enligt Friberg och Hendersons teori användes som teoretisk utgångspunkt.Resultat:Analysen identifierade tre teman. Att arbeta under hot om smitta, Att utföra omvårdnad under utmanande omständigheter samt Förändrad syn på sjuksköterskeyrket.

Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor som arbetat med vård av patienter med Covid-19 har upplevt att bristande erfarenheter lett till att den kliniska omvårdnaden blir lidande. Rädslan av att bli smittad påverkade dem psykiskt och fysiskt. Det var ett etiskt dilemma att utföra vård av smittsamma patienter utan adekvat skyddsutrustning. Stöd från samhället och patienter har stärkt sjuksköterskornas profession.
