Patients’ experiences of isolation due to MRSA : A literary review (English)
Abstract [en]

Background: MRSA is a critical disease, where isolation might be necessary among the infected. The literature reveals more negative consequences than positive for isolated patients. Given this information, a paradox is highlighted that healthcare works to reduce the spread of infection of MRSA, while it may affect the care of the individual patient.

Aim: The aim was to highlight patients' experiences of isolation due to MRSA.

Method: A literature study was performed according to Friberg (2012) in order to review the existing knowledge. Ten scientific articles were retrieved, whereof seven are qualitative and three are quantitative.

Results: The result supports the assumption that isolation affects the patients' experiences positively as well as negatively. The positive experiences are ”appreciation and calmness” and ”satisfaction”. There are more negative experiences. They are loneliness, boredom, anxiety, anger, frustration, confusion and bad treatment. Furthermore, a series of actions are proposed to improve patients' situations.

Discussions: The results are discussed from the point of view of Løgstrup’s ethical demand. That aims to highlight the ethical dimension of nurses meeting with isolated patients. The discussion is divided in several titles with different starting points. One of the titels discuss the paradox and another discuss the results from an environmental point of view.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: MRSA är en allmänfarlig sjukdom där isolering kan bli aktuellt för de smittade. I litteraturen framkommer fler negativa konsekvenser än positiva för isolerade patienter. Med detta i åtanke uppmärksammas en paradox. Den yttrar sig i att samtidigt som vården vill minska risken för smittspridning av MRSA, kan det påverka vården för den enskilda patienten.

Syfte: Syftet var att belysa patienters upplevelser av isolering i samband med MRSA.

Metod: En litteraturöversikt har genomförts enligt Friberg (2012) för att skapa en överblick över kunskapsläget. Tio vetenskapliga artiklar valdes ut, varav sju var kvalitativa och tre kvantitativa.

Resultat: Resultatet styrker antagandet att isolering påverkar patienternas upplevelser positivt och negativt. De positiva upplevelserna var "uppskattning och lugn" samt "tillfredsställelse". De negativa upplevelserna var fler. Dessa var "övergivenhet och tristess", "oro, ilska och frustration", "förvirring" och "dåligt bemötande". Vidare belystes en rad åtgärder för att förbättra patienternas situationer.

Diskussion: Resultatet diskuteras med anknytning till Løgstrups teori om det etiska kravet. Målsättningen var att belysa den etiska dimensionen av sjuksköterskans möte med den isolerade patienten. I diskussionen förs också resonemang kring den funna paradoxen och utifrån konsensusbegreppet miljö.
