Nurse´s experiences of caring for patients with Covid-19 : A litetature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: SARS-CoV-2 är ett nytt coronavirus som har framkallat en pandemisk luftvägsinfektion. Infekrionssjukdomen heter Covid-19 och kan ha ett allvarligt förlopp som kräver omfattande och komplex omvårdnad. Sjuksköterskor är oftast de som arbetar närmast patienter och riskerar själva att bli smittade i vårdarbetet med Covid-19. Syfte: Att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att vårda patienter med Covid-19. Metod: Allmän strukturerad litteraturstudie som grundades på tio kvalitativa artiklar. Resultatartiklarna analyserades med inspiration av innehållsanalys. Resultat: Litteraturstudiens resultat utgjordes av sex kategorier som belyste sjuksköterskors upplevelser av omställningar i omvårdnadsarbete, samarbete i vårdteam, omvårdnad vid hög smittrisk, användning av skyddsutrustning, kunskap om sjukdomen och hur omvårdnad av patienter med Covid-19 skulle utföras samt hur relationen mellan sjuksköterskor och patienter med Covid-19 påverkades. Konklision: Sjuksköterskor upplevde akuta organisatoriska omställningar, rädsla för att smittas, samt brist på kunskaper om sjukdom och användning av skyddsutrustning. Nya kunskaper utvecklades under omvårdnadsarbete. Samarbete i vårdteam var viktigt för optimal omvårdnad och utgjorde ett psykologiskt stöd. Sjuksköterskor upplevde en ansvarskänsla och plikt för yrket trots medvetenheten om riskerna för den egna hälsan.

The infectious disease is called Covid-19 and can have a serious course that requires extensive and complex care. Nurses who spend the time closest to the patients are at risk becoming infected while caring for patients with Covid-19. Aim: To explore nurse´s experiences of caring for patients with Covid-19. Method: A general structured literature study based on ten qualitative articles. The articles were analysed with inspiration of content analysis. Result: The result of literature study includes six categories exploring nurse´s experiences of changes in nursing work, teamwork, nursing at high risk of infection, use of protective equipment, knowledge about the disease and how nursing of patients with Covid-19 shoud be performed and how the relationship between nurses and patients with Covid-19 was affected. Conclusion: Nurses caring för patients with Covid-19 experienced acute organizational changes, fear of becoming infected and lack of knowledge about the disease and the use of protective equipment. New knowledge was developed during nursing work. Teamwork has been important for optimal nursing and provided psychological support. Nurses experienced a sense of responsability and duty for the profession despite the awareness of the risks to their own health.
