”I was taking part in a war and I was fighting” : A literature review of work-related stress among nurses during the covid-19 pandemic (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Covid-19 viruset som upptäcktes först i Kina år 2019 orsakade stor smittspridning och många sjukdomsfall i världens befolkning. Inom akutsjukvården skedde en stor ökning i antalet patienter samtidigt som sjukvårdsbemanningen var låg. Arbetsrelaterad stress kan uppstå när personer upplever ökade krav, ovanpå kravet att sjuksköterskor ska besitta aktuell kunskap och främja hälsa.

Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av arbetsrelaterad stress inom akutsjukvården under covid-19-pandemin.

Metod: Allmän litteraturöversikt, baserad på 12 vetenskapliga artiklar med kvalitativ ansats vilka analyserades med en tematisk analys.

Resultat: Sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av arbetsrelaterad stress under covid-19-pandemin kan beskrivas utifrån fyra teman: Bristande kunskap om covid-19 och intensivvård, Ökat ansvar, ökade krav och stor arbetsbelastning, Svårigheter att arbeta iklädd skyddsutrustning, och Stöd och strategier för att hantera arbetssituationen. Sjuksköterskor upplevde arbetsrelaterad stress till följd av den ökade vårdtyngden och stressiga arbetsmiljön, vilket resulterade i psykiska påfrestningar.  

Slutsats: Arbetsrelaterad stress uppstår till följd av hög arbetsbelastning, underbemanning, okunskap kring covid-19 och intensivvård. Detta påverkar sjuksköterskors psykiska mående och hållbarheten i vårdandet. Vidare forskning bör lägga fokus på arbetsrelaterad stress inom hälso- och sjukvården i Sverige samt andra vårdområden utöver akutsjukvården. 

Abstract [en]

Background: Covid-19 was detected in China 2019 and spread rapidly with many confirmed cases. In emergency care there was a large increase in the number of patients and staff shortage. Work-related stress occurs when people experience increased demands, on top of pre-existing demands to possess the latest knowledge and promote health as nurses.

Aim: The aim was to describe nurses’ experiences of work-related stress in emergency care during the covid-19 pandemic. 

Method: A literature review based on 12 scientific studies with qualitative methods, analyzed with thematic analysis.

Results: Nurses' experiences of work-related stress during the covid-19 pandemic can be described with four themes: Insufficient knowledge of covid-19 and intensive care, Increased responsibility, increased demands and high workload, Difficulties working while wearing personal protective equipment and Support and strategies to cope with the work situation. Nurses experienced work-related stress due to increased workload and stressful work environment, resulting in psychological distress.

Conclusions: Work-related stress is caused by high workload, staff shortage, ignorance of covid-19 and intensive care. This affects the well-being of nurses and sustainability in nursing. Further research should focus on work-related stress in Swedish healthcare and other areas than emergency care.
