Nurses’ attitudes towards patients with hepatitis B and hepatitis C (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Hepatit B och hepatit C räknas i dag som de största infektionssjukdomarna i världen med dödlig utgång. Sjukdomarna rapporteras som en världsomfattande börda och mellan år 2018 och 2019 uppgavs 1,9 miljoner människor avlidit. I omvårdnadsarbetet ska sjuksköterskan värna om patienten och arbeta personcentrerat, visa respekt och inte kränka patienten. Patienter med hepatit B och C har uttryckt sig känna av stigmatisering och förutfattade meningar om hur de smittats, de kände även av att bemötandet i omvårdnaden kunde påverkas negativt. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att utforska sjuksköterskors bemötande till patienter med hepatit B och C. Metoden utgick från en allmän litteraturstudie där 13 vetenskapliga artiklar presenterade resultat på hur sjuksköterskor bemöter patienter med blodsmitta. Resultatet visade att sjuksköterskor bemöter patienter med hepatit B och C olika med både positiva och negativa attityder. Det fanns signifikanta samband mellan låg kunskap och ett sämre bemötande. Det berodde bland annat på rädsla och förutfattade meningar som speglades i omvårdnadsarbetet. Det fanns även signifikanta samband mellan korrekt tillämpning i basala hygienrutiner och ett tryggt omvårdnadsarbete för sjuksköterskan. Konklusion: Bemötandet till patienter med hepatit B och C var övergripande positivt men det förekom sjuksköterskor med ett stigmatiserande synsätt och motvillighet till att bemöta dessa patienter.

Abstract [en]

Background: Hepatitis B and C are currently considered to be the largest infectious diseases with lethal repercussions. The diseases are considered a worldwide burden, which between 2018 and 2019, caused the death of an estimated 1,9 million people. In nursing, nurses are meant to shield patients, work on a personal basis with them, show the respect and not offend them. Patients with hepatitis B and C have expressed a feeling of stigmatization and prejudice towards how they were infected. Therefore, they feel their care could be affected in a negative way. The aim of this literature study was to explore nurses’ attitudes towards patients with hepatitis B and C. The method emanated from a literature study where 13 scientific articles showed results for how nurses’ attitudes towards patients with blood diseases varies. The results showed that nurses’ attitudes towards patient infected with hepatitis B and C can be both positive and negative. Statistically significant associations occurred between a lack of knowledge and worsened attitude in nursing, the reason was often because of fear and preconceptions. Findings showed a relation between using correct safe precautions and confidence in nursing. Conclusion: The attitude towards patients with hepatitis B and C was positive over all but there were some nurses with a stigmatized perception and reluctance to handle those patients.
