Nurses’ experiences of using nitrous oxide to children during pain and anxiety related procedures (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Procedurrelaterad smärta och oro kan innebära ett lidande för barn inom sjukvården vilket kan medföra att barn bygger upp en sjukvårdsrädsla. Ett sätt att lindra det kan vara genom avledning, information samt låta barnet vara delaktigt i sin vård. När det inte är tillräckligt kan lustgas användas eftersom det ger både smärtlindrande och lugnande effekt. Syfte: Att undersöka sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att använda lustgas till barn vid procedurrelaterad smärta ochoro. Metod: Studien genomfördes utifrån kvalitativ design. Tio sjuksköterskor intervjuades genom en semistrukturerad intervjuguide. Materialet analyserades utifrån en kvalitativ metod. Resultat: Resultatet presenteras i tre kategorier och åtta underkategorier. Kategorierna innefattar: Skapa en optimal situation, Lustgas är en effektiv metod men bör inte vara det enda alternativet och Erfarenhet och utbildning ger trygghet. Barn ska bli informerade och vara delaktiga i sin vård. Lustgas är en effektiv metod men andra avledningsmetoder bör provas först och mindre erfarna sjuksköterskor kan känna osäkerhet. Konklusion: Lustgas är en effektiv metod. Genom att involvera barn i sin vård ökar deras delaktighet. Därtill behöver sjuksköterskor fortlöpande lustgasutbildning för att känna trygghet. Det skulle kunna bidra till en förbättrad lustgasanvändning och en optimal barnsjukvård.

Abstract [en]

Background: Procedure-related pain and anxiety can cause suffering to children in healthcare, which can lead to children building up a fear of healthcare. One way to alleviate this can be by distraction, information and letting the child be involved in their care. When it is not enough nitrous oxide can be used since it provides both a pain relieving and a calming effect. Purpose: To examine nurses’ experiences of using nitrous oxide to children during procedure-related pain and anxiety. Method: The study was conducted through a qualitative design. Ten nurses were interviewed based on a semi-structured interview guide. The material was analyzed based on a qualitative content analysis. Result: The result is presented in three categories and eight sub-categories. The categories include: Create an optimal situation, Nitrous oxide is an effective method but should not be the only option and Experience and education provides security. Children should be informed and involved in their care. Nitrous oxide is an effective method but other distraction methods should be tried first and less experienced nurses may feel insecure. Conclusion: Nitrous oxide is an effective method. By involving children in their care, their participation increases. In addition, nurses need continuous nitrous oxide training to feel safe. It could contribute to improved nitrous oxide use and optimal pediatric care.
