Caring for patients with covid-19 in emergency care : a literature study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Covid-19 utbröt 2020, hälso- och sjukvården omorganiserar sina verksamheter, patienter insjuknar samt isoleras. Sjuksköterskan har en fundamental roll i akutsjukvård och förväntas kunna bedriva personcentrerad vård även i en hektisk situation. Sjuksköterskor har en klinisk erfarenhet i omhändertagandet av patienter med Covid-19, men saknar evidens riktad mot Covid-19 vilket hotar den personcentrerade vården. Syftet var att belysa sjuksköterskors erfarenheter och utmaningar av att vårda vuxna patienter med Covid-19 inom akutsjukvård under pandemin.

En allmän litteraturöversikt utfördes med en systematisk design. I datainsamlingen användes två databaser, PubMed och CINAHL. Sammanlagt inkluderades 17 artiklar som analyserades i enlighet med en integrerad analys vilket utformade två huvudkategorier samt sju underkategorier.

Resultatets utformade huvudkategorier belyste omvårdnadens utmaningar samt psykologiska och fysiska utmaningar under Covid-19. Flertal studier belyste vikten av teamarbetet i vårdandet och sjuksköterskor kände att given vård inte var adekvat. Dem isolerade patienterna med Covid-19 hade ett ökat behov av stöd och sjuksköterskor blev utmattade samt upplevde ångest. Skyddsutrustningen utgjorde ett hinder vid omvårdnadsåtgärder, kommunikationen försvåras till patienter och sjuksköterskorna fick skador av utrustningen.

Sammanfattningsvis var vårdandet av patienter med Covid-19 psykiskt och fysiskt krävande för sjuksköterskor. Det var flertal faktorer som påverkade sjuksköterskors förmåga att utföra omvårdnad till patienterna som inte erhöll en värdig vård och teamarbete var en viktig del för patientens säkerhet samt personcentrerade vård. I framtida händelser som pandemier behövs specialistsjuksköterskor för att de har en högre omvårdnadsintention och utgör en viktig del i det tvärprofessionella vårdteamet.

Abstract [en]

Covid-19 erupted in 2020, the health services reorganized it’s operations, patients became ill and isolated. Nurses have a fundamental role in emergency care and are expected to provide person-centered care, even in a hectic situation. Nurses have a clinical experience in the care of patients with Covid-19, but the lack of evidence about Covid-19 threatens the personcentered care. The aim was to illuminate nurses´ experiences and challenges of caring for adult patients with Covid-19 in emergency care during the pandemic.

A general literature review with a systematic design was performed. In the data collection two databases were used, PubMed and CINAHL. In total, 17 articles were included and analyzed in accordance with an integrated analysis that designed two main categories and seven subcategories.

The main categories of the results highlighted the challenges of nursing as well as psychological and physical challenges during Covid-19. Many studies highlighted the importance of teamwork in care and nurses felt that the care provided was not sufficient. The isolated patients with Covid-19 had an increased need for support and nurses became exhausted and experienced anxiety. The protective equipment contributed an obstacle to nursing activities, the communication to patients became difficult and the nurses were physically affected by the protective equipment.

In conclusion, caring for patients with Covid-19 was mentally and physically demanding for nurses. There were several factors that affected nurses´ ability to provide care to patients who did not receive valuable care and teamwork was an important part of patient safety and person-centered care. In future events such as pandemics, specialist nurses are needed because of their higher nursing intentions and their important role in the interprofessional team.
