Nurses’ experiences of the work environment in home healthcare : A general literature study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Sammanfattning Bakgrund: Vård i hemmet är ett globalt fenomen under framväxt. Orsaker till detta är bland annat den åldrande befolkningen som löper större risk för att drabbas av multisjuklighet samtidigt som de traditionella vårdplatserna minskar. Utvecklingen har dessutom möjliggjort en ökad komplexitet av omvårdnadsinsatser i patienternas hem, vilket ställer högre krav på kompetens hos sjuksköterskorna inom hemsjukvården. Att vårda patienter i deras hemmiljö kan innebära utmaningar då arbetsmiljön inte är lika lätt att påverka jämfört med standardiserad sjukhusmiljö. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser av arbetsmiljön i hemsjukvården. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en allmän litteraturstudie där sex artiklar med kvalitativ metod och fyra artiklar av mixad metod sammanställdes. Samtliga artiklar granskades med en induktiv ansats och utmynnade i tre kategorier. Resultat: Resultatet visade att tidsbrist orsakades av bland annat hög arbetsbelastning, omväxlande patientbehov, utmanande arbetsuppgifter och ensamarbete. Likaså varierade patienternas hemmiljö avseende resurser, hygienstandard och tillgänglighet. Att bygga goda relationer till kollegor och patienter skapade en bra arbetsmiljö. Slutsats: Resultatet visar att bättre tillgångar till personal och resurser skulle kunna förbättra sjuksköterskors upplevelser av arbetsmiljön.

Abstract: Background: Home care is a growing global phenomenon. Reasons for this are among other things that the aging population often suffers from multimorbidity at the same time as the number of traditional care places is decreasing. The development has also made an increased complexity of care interventions in patients’ homes, something that places higher demands on the competence of nurses in home health care. Caring for patients in a home environment can pose challenges as the work environment is not as easy to influence. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to illustrate nurses’ experiences of the work environment in home health care. Method: The study was conducted as a general literature study where six articles with a qualitative method and four articles with a mixed method were compiled. All articles were reviewed using an inductive approach and resulted in three categories. Results: The results showed that lack of time was caused by, among other things, high workload, various patient needs, challenging tasks and solitary work. Likewise, the patients’ home environment varied in terms of resources, hygiene standards and accessibility. Building functioning relationships with colleagues and patients constituted a good experience of the work environment. Conclusion: The result shows that more assets for staff and resources could improve nurses’ experiences of the work environment.
