Nursing patients diagnosed with Covid-19 – Nurses’ perspective : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Covid-19-pandemin har haft stor påverkan på både samhälle och hälsovård specifikt. Vid utbrottet av pandemin var kunskapen om sjukdomen och hur den skulle behandlas otillräcklig, både nationellt och internationellt. Vårdpersonal bör via flexibla angreppsätt anpassa sig till den nya situationen utan att veta exakt hur denna sjukdom ska behandlas.

Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att vårda patienter med Covid-19 på vårdavdelning.

Metod: Metoden är en litteraturöversikt av kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar där sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att vara vårdgivare till patienter med Covid- 19 studerats. Data analyserades utifrån Fribergs beskrivning av kvalitativ analys i fem steg.

Resultat: Resultaten visade att sjuksköterskorna upplevde svårigheter vid anpassning till förändrad arbetsmiljö. Det gällde framförallt användning av skyddsutrustning och försämrade samt förändrade arbetsförhållanden. Inom ramen för de iakttagelserna av patientens lidande uppfattade sjuksköterskor maktlöshet, hjälplöshet, oro och avsaknad av kunskap samt brist på erfarenhet av sjukdomen. Hälsopåverkan i form av stress, rädsla och ångest präglade arbetssituationen men de fick stort stöd av sina familjer, vänner och kollegor.

Slutsats: Studien visade att Covid-19 pandemin hade stor påverkan på sjuksköterskors arbetssituation. Pandemin resulterade också i negativa individuella upplevelser men det stora stödet från sjuksköterskornas närmaste familjemedlemmar och vänner var betydelsefullt för att orka med sin arbetssituation. Även samarbetet med kollegor var avgörande för att kunna genomföra sina arbetsuppgifter.

Abstract [en]

Background: The covid-19 pandemic hugely influenced society as well as the global Health care system. As the pandemic broke out, it became clear that the lack of knowledge about the disease would greatly affect the way treatment was conducted, nationally as well as internationally. Health care professionals had to adapt to the situation without knowing exactly how to treat each symptom as well as to adhere to this specific disease.

Aim: This study investigates how nurses experienced their working conditions and treatment of patients with covid-19 disease.

Method: This is a qualitative study based on analyses of scientific articles that had studied nurses’ experiences of working with covid-19 patients. The analysis was conducted using the available Fribergs qualitative five step method.

Results: The results show that the investigated nurses experienced difficulties in adapting to a continuously changing work environment, especially when it came to the use of protective equipment in combination with the perceived worsening working condition. The investigated nurses had to adhere to a new normal situation categorized with feelings of powerless, and helplessness. However, the investigated nurses received the appropriate support from their close families, friends and colleagues which made their work acceptable despite the ongoing pandemic.

Conclusion: The study showed that the Covid-19 pandemic had a major impact on nurses' work situation. The pandemic resulted in negative individual experiences, the great support from the nurses' closest family members in combination with colleagues and friends became the key factor in coping with the new normal working conditions.
