Titel: Omvårdnadsmiljön på två somatiska vårdavdelningar i Bangkok, Thailand

Bakgrund: Miljö ur ett hälsoperspektiv omfattar den fysiska, kulturella och psykosociala aspekten av omvårdnad. Miljön på en vårdavdelning kan både främja hälsa och ha en ogynnsam verkan. Omvårdnad är ett universellt fenomen men kulturen formar människans syn på hälsa och även hur hälsa kan uppnås. Sjukvården i Thailand präglas av buddhismen. Syfte: Beskriva omvårdnadsmiljön kring patienter på två somatiska vårdavdelningar i Bangkok. Design: Studien har inspirerats av etnografisk metod. Data insamlades genom observationer, utförda under tio arbetspass, nedtecknades i loggböcker för att därefter bearbetas genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Två teman formades: Dagliga rutiner och patientens omgivning, med kategorierna rang/attityd, omvårdnad, miljö/aktivitet och ljud/lukt. Första temat beskriver vardagen för patienter och vårdpersonal samt vilka omvårdnadsmetoder som användes. Det andra temat beskriver miljön och pågående aktiviteter. Slutsats: Den thailändska kulturen speglas i omvårdnadsmiljön på avdelningarna; det råder en stark hierarki bland vårdpersonalen och det utförs många rutinmässiga omvårdnadsåtgärder. Vårdpersonalens största fokus i det dagliga arbetet är arbetsuppgifterna; det är svårt att tyda om patienternas omvårdnadsbehov styr omvårdnadsarbetet. Patienterna är omgivna av mycket personal som orsakar rörelse och ljud i patientsalen, men skapar också trygghet i form av att ha nära kontakt till patienten.

Title: Nursing environment in two somatic wards in Bangkok, Thailand

Background: Environment from a health perspective includes the physical, cultural and psychosocial aspects of nursing. The environment in a ward can both promote health and have an adverse effect. Nursing is a universal phenomenon, but culture shapes people's views on health and also how health can be achieved. Medical care in Thailand is characterized by Buddhism. Aim: Describe the nursing environment around the patients in two somatic wards in Bangkok. Design: This study was inspired by ethnographic method. Data were collected through observations, conducted over ten sessions, was recorded in logbooks and then processed by content analysis. Results: Two themes were formed: Daily routines and Patient environment, with the categories rank/attitude, care, environment/activity and sound/smell. First theme describes daily lives for patients and caregivers and the nursing methods used. Second theme describes the environment and the ongoing activities. Conclusion: The Thai culture is reflected in the nursing environment at the wards; there is a strong hierarchy among health professionals and many routine nursing activities are performed. The health professionals’ main focus in their daily work was the work tasks; it is hard to decipher whether the patients’ care needs govern the nursing. Patients are surrounded by staff members who cause movement and sound in the patient room, but also create peace of mind by having close contact to the patient.
