Abstract (Swedish)
Bakgrund: Första fallen av COVID-19 kom i december 2019 i Kina. I mars 2020 blev COVID-19 klassat som pandemi. Pandemin satte stor press på sjukvården världen över, men framför allt på intensivvården och intensivvårdssjuksköterskorna som tog emot ett större antal patienter än normalt. Syfte: Att belysa intensivvårdssjuksköterskors upplevelser av att arbeta under COVID-19 pandemin ur ett globalt perspektiv. Metod: 18 kvalitativa studier har analyserats genom metaaggregering enligt SBU:s riktlinjer. Resultat: Analysen genererade sex huvudkategorier: emotionell påverkan, omvårdnad av patient och närstående, professionen, organisation, omvärlden samt framtid, med 11 underkategorier. Konklusion: I samtliga regioner fanns en stark rädsla hos... (More)

Resultat: Analysen genererade sex huvudkategorier: emotionell påverkan, omvårdnad av patient och närstående, professionen, organisation, omvärlden samt framtid, med 11 underkategorier. Konklusion: I samtliga regioner fanns en stark rädsla hos intensivvårdssjuksköterskorna att föra smittan vidare, ofta i kombination med ett behov av större stöd från ledning och en bättre planering kring beredskap och kompetensförsörjning. Samtidigt behövs ett ökat medvetandegörande om kulturella skillnader för att förbättra omvårdnaden i svåra situationer där patienter och anhöriga blir isolerade från varandra. (Less)
Abstract
Background: The first cases of COVID-19 emerged in China in December 2019. In March 2020 COVID-19 became a pandemic. The pandemic put a big strain on healthcare all over the world but especially intensive care units and the critical care nurses who had to take care of an unusually large number of patients. Aim: To highlight critical care nurses' experiences of working during the COVID-19 pandemic on a global scale. Method: 18 qualitative studies have been analyzed though metaaggregation in accordance with SBU:s guidelines. Result: Six main categories were found: emotional impact, caring for patients and their loved ones, the profession, organization, the wider world, and future, with 11 subcategories. Conclusion: In all regions critical... (More)

Result: Six main categories were found: emotional impact, caring for patients and their loved ones, the profession, organization, the wider world, and future, with 11 subcategories. Conclusion: In all regions critical care nurses experienced a strong fear of spreading the disease onwards, while often also expressing a need for more support from their leadership and better planning around preparedness and making sure there are enough skilled ICU nurses. There is also a need to increase awareness of cultural differences in order to improve the care of patients in situations where patients and families are isolated from each other. (Less)
