Understaffing of nurses and its impact on nursingcare : A literature study (English)
Abstract [en]

Background: The most central thing in healthcare is nursing care and its applicability in practice. Lack shortage of nurses is a growing problem globally that can be related to quality of nursing care. Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate understaffing of nurses and its impact on nursing. Method: The study design is a literature study and the databases used are CINAHL and PubMed where scientific articles with a quantitative approach have been selected and analyzed. Friberg's analysis of studies has been applied in the work. Results: The analysis resulted in two themes; Inadequate care and Deficiencies and consequences. The result shows a connection between understaffing and unfinished nursing. Nurses experienced high burnout related to high workload. Conclusion: Nursing absence was related to understaffing and resulted in low quality of care and reduced patient safety. This is as a result of nurses needing to deprioritize certain nursing interventions.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: En av de mest centrala inom hälso- och sjukvården är omvårdnad och dess tillämplighet i praktiken. Brist på sjuksköterskor är ett globalt växande problem som kan relateras till omvårdnadskvalitet. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka underbemanning av sjuksköterskor och dess inverkan på omvårdnaden. Metod: Studiedesignen är en litteraturstudie och databaser som använts är CINAHL samt PubMed där vetenskapliga artiklar av kvantitativ ansats valts ut och analyserats. Fribergs analys av studier har tillämpats i arbetet. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i två teman; Otillräcklig omvårdnad samt Brister och konsekvenser. Resultatet visar ett samband mellan underbemanning och oavslutad omvårdnad. Sjuksköterskor upplevde hög utbrändhet relaterat till hög arbetsbelastning. Slutsats: Utebliven omvårdnad var relaterad till underbemanning och medförde låg vårdkvalitet och minskad patientsäkerhet. Detta till följd av att sjuksköterskor behövde prioritera bort vissa omvårdnadsinsatser.
