Nurses' experiences of providing palliative care during the COVID-19 pandemic : A literature study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Den palliativa vårdens förhållningssätt vilar på grunderna att lindra fysiskt och psykiskt lidande samt främja god livskvalitet, när sjukdominte längre går att bota. Under covid-19-pandemin skapades barriärer i form av social distansering, personlig skyddsutrustning och rädsla för smitta, vilket påverkade möjligheterna för sjuksköterskor inom den palliativa vården att ge patientnära vård. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att ge palliativ vård under covid-19-pandemin. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie med induktiv ansats, baserad på 10 vetenskapliga artiklar. Artiklarna som inkluderades i resultatet kvalitetsgranskades, bearbetades och sammanfattades. Resultat: Efter analys av samtliga artiklar identifierades tre huvudkategorier utifrån artiklarnas resultat: upplevelser av förändrad kommunikation, upplevelser av etiska och moraliska dilemman samt upplevelser av organisatoriska förändringar. Huvudkategorierna kompletterades med nio underkategorier. Konklusion: Resultatet belyser att sjuksköterskor inom den palliativa vården upplevde begränsningar i sitt yrkesutförande till följd av covid-19-pandemin genom försvårande möjligheter att vårda patienter i enlighet med den palliativa vårdens värdegrund.

Abstract [en]

Background: The palliative care approach rests on the foundation of alleviating suffering, physically and mentally and promoting a good quality of life, at times when disease no longer can be cured. During the COVID-19 pandemic, barriers were created in the form of social distancing, personal protective equipment and fear of being infected. This affected the ability of palliative care nurses to provide patient-centered care. Aim: The aim was to illustrate nurses’ experiences of providing palliative care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: The study was a general literature study with an inductive approach, based on 10 scientific articles. The articles included in the result were quality reviewed, processed and summarized. Result: Analysis of the articles identified three main categories based on the result of the articles: experiences of altered communication, experiences of ethical and moral dilemmas and experiences of organizational changes. The main categories were supplemented with nine subcategories. Conclusion:The results illustrate that palliative care nurses experienced limitations in their professional performance as a result if the COVID-19 pandemic due to obstacles that made it harder for them to care for patients in accordance with the values of palliative care.
