Nurses' experience of caring for patients with sepsis in emergency care settings : A general literature study (English)
Abstract [en]

Background: Sepsis is a serious condition and is considered a global public health problem. Symptoms of sepsis can initially be vague and atypical, which makes it difficult to identify and treat patients. Within emergency healthcare, high demands are placed on nurses' knowledge and ability to quickly make decisions. Nurses' main area of competence is nursing, and the work must be based on guidance documents, ICN's code of ethics and evidence-based knowledge to achieve safe care. Continued high mortality has prompted a critical review of the assessment criteria and the effectiveness of nursing measures.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe nurses' experience of caring for adult patients with sepsis in emergency settings.

Method: A general literature study based on ten scientific articles. The study has a qualitative approach and is designed according to Polit and Beck's nine-step model. Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis model was used in the analysis of the data.

Results: When analyzing the material, two themes emerged, which constituted the result. The two themes were Competence and Organization with associated subthemes.

Conclusion: Nurses' experiences of nursing adult patients with sepsis in emergency care were influenced by factors linked to both competence and organization. Experiences linked to the care of sepsis in emergency healthcare are knowledge and a need for interprofessional collaboration, guidelines, and access to resources. However, further research is needed on the subject.
