Caring for children in a prehospital environment : ambulance clinicians experiences (English)
Abstract [sv]

Prehospital akutsjukvård är till för patienter i alla åldrar, symtom, tillstånd och sjukdom. Ambulanspersonalen behöver ha kompetens och förmåga att bedöma och behandla alla patienter. Enligt Travelbee främjas den mellanmänskliga relationen genom kommunikation, förståelse och handling vilket skapar förutsättningar för omvårdnaden. Alla patienter har rätt till god och jämlik vård oavsett prehospitala förutsättningar.

Syftet var att belysa ambulanspersonalens upplevelser av att vårda barn.

Metoden som användes var en litteraturöversikt med en systematisk ansats för att sammanställa befintlig forskning inom området. Både kvalitativa och kvantitativa artiklar har inkluderats från databaserna Pub Med och Cinahl Complete. Sammanlagt har 15 artiklar inkluderats till resultatet.

Resultaten visar att ambulanspersonal upplever otillräcklig utbildning i omhändertagande av barn, att det tillkommer utmaningar kring denna patientgrupp samt olika känslor som uppkommer i vårdmötet med barn.

Slutsatsen av litteraturstudien beskriver att vård och omvårdnad av barn prehospitalt leder till känslor som stress, osäkerhet och otrygghet. Det beskrivs bero på begränsad kunskap och erfarenhet av akut sjuka och skadade barn samt mötet med patienternas föräldrar. Ambulanspersonal önskar mer teoretisk och praktisk utbildning av det akut sjuka barnet samt debriefing i samband med särskilt påfrestande händelser.

Abstract [en]

Prehospital emergency care is for patients of all ages, symptoms, conditions and illness. Ambulance clinicians (AC) need to have the competence to assess and treat all patients. According to Travelbee, the interpersonal relationship is promoted through communication, understanding and action, which creates conditions for nursing. All patients have the same right to good and equal care regardless of different circumstances and/or factors that challenge the AC´s in assessing and treating children in prehospital emergency settings.

The aim was to describe ambulance clinicians’ experiences of caring for children in prehospital emergency care.

A literature review with a systematic approach was used as a method to compile existing research in the field. Both qualitative and quantitative articles have been included from the databases PubMed and Cinahl Complete. A total of 15 articles have been included in the results.

The results show that AC´s experience insufficient training regarding the care of children, that there are challenges to this patient group and different emotions that arise in the care when meeting with children in the prehospital emergency settings.

The literature study concludes that the care of children in prehospital emergency settings leads to feelings of stress, uncertainty and insecurity, which is described to be caused due to limited knowledge and experience of acutely ill and injured children as well as the meeting with the patient's parents. AC´s want more theoretical and practical training of the acutely ill child as well as debriefing in connection with particularly stressful events.
