Nurse’s attitudes in the care of patients with substance abuse in somatic care : A General literature study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Substansmissbruk av narkotika eller alkohol innebär stora sociala konsekvenser för personen som missbrukar och förknippas med stora kostnader för samhället. Substansmissbruk är ofta ett känsligt ämne för vårdgivare där samhällets syn på missbruk påverkar sjuksköterskans attityd. Patienter med substansmissbruk uttrycker ett behov av att få sina fysiska och psykiska behov tillgodosedda. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa påverkan av sjuksköterskans attityd gentemot patienter med substansmissbruk på somatiska vårdenheter. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie där 13 vetenskapliga artiklar valdes för att svara på syftet. I resultatet framkom det att sjuksköterskans attityd påverkar omvårdnaden av patienter med substansmissbruk på flera somatiskavdelningar. En negativ attityd och bristfällig omvårdnad till patienter med substansmissbruk berodde på okunskap, dåligt kollegial och organisatoriskt stöd. Sjuksköterskor med mer positiv attityd mot patienter med substansmissbruk var mer erfarna och hade mer kunskap om patientgruppens vårdbehov. Omvårdnaden av patientgruppen upplevs komplex och ställer höga krav på sjuksköterskan och organisationen. Konklusion: Övervägande delen av resultatet belyser att sjuksköterskor som arbetar inom somatisk vårdenhet har en negativ attityd gentemot patienter med substansmissbruk som bidrar till en bristfällig omvårdnad till patientgruppen. En god omvårdnad kan endast delges när sjuksköterskan besitter kunskap, stöd och ser personen bakom sitt missbruk.

Abstract [en]

Background: Substance abuse of drugs or alcohol is a major social issue for the person with an addiction and is also associated with considerable societal costs. Substance abuse is often a sensitive subject for caregivers where society’s reflection on substance abuse affects the nurse´s attitude. Patients with substance abuse express a need of that both their physical and mental needs be met. The aim of the literature study was to shed light on the impact of the nurses’ attitude towards patients with substance abuse in somatic care units. Method: A general literature study in which 13 scientific articles were selected that related to the studies purpose. The results show that the nurse’s attitude affects the patients’ care with substance abuse in a somatic ward. There was a correlation between attitude and nursing. A negative attitude and inadequate care for patients with substance abuse resulted from lack of knowledge, poor collegial and organizational support. Nurses with a more positive attitude towards substance abuse patients were more experienced and had more knowledge about the patient group’s care needs. The patient group’s care is perceived as complex and places high demands on the nurse and the organization. Conclusion: Most of the result indicate that nurses working in somatic care unit have a negative attitude towards patients with substance abuse, contributing to inadequate care to the patient group. Good nursing can only be provided when the nurse possesses knowledge, support and can see the person behind the addiction.
