Nurses experiences of caring for patients with Covid-19 (English)
Abstract [en]

Background: SARS-coronavirus-2 is the virus that was discovered in december, 2019. Covid-19 gave rise to diffuse symptoms and continuously changing routines and guidelines have posed a challenge for health care. The nurse is responsible for helping patients maintain, gain or improve their own health and well-being. During the pandemic, patients have not been sufficiently informed and as a result have experienced a feeling of confusion and a fear of the disease and its treatment.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe nurses' experiences of caring for patients with covid-19.

Method: A literature review with a qualitative approach that included 12 original articles. The articles were analyzed with Braun and Clarkes thematic analysis.

Results: The result is presented as five themes that emerged during the analysis process: Caring for patients during overload, Caring for isolated patients with a newly discovered virus, Difficulty caring for with protective equipment, Fear of becoming infected and spreading the virus and Positive experiences of caring for patients with covid-19.

Conclusions: Nurses have experienced that the challenges posed by the covid-19 pandemic have affected the physical and psychosocial environment as well as their ability to achieve good communication with patients.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: SARS-coronavirus-2 är viruset som upptäcktes i december, 2019. Covid-19 gav upphov till diffusa symtom och kontinuerligt förändrade rutiner och riktlinjer har inneburit en utmaning för hälso- och sjukvården. Sjuksköterskan ansvarar för att hjälpa patienter att upprätthålla, få eller förbättra sin egen hälsa och välbefinnande. Under pandemin har patienterna inte blivit tillräckligt informerade och därav upplevt en känsla av förvirring och enrädsla för sjukdomen och dess behandling.

Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda patienter med covid-19.

Metod: En litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats som inkluderar 12 originalartiklar. Artiklarna analyserades med Braun och Clarkes tematiska analys.

Resultat: Resultatet presenteras i fem teman som framkom under analysprocessen: Att vårda patienter under överbelastning, Att vårda isolerade patienter med ett nyupptäckt virus, Svårigheter att vårda med skyddsutrustning, Rädsla att bli smittad och sprida viruset vidare och Positiva erfarenheter av att vårda patienter med covid-19.

Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor har upplevt att de utmaningar som covid-19 pandemin har inneburit har påverkat den fysiska och psykosociala miljön samt deras möjlighet att uppnå god kommunikation med patienter.
