Licensed healthcare professionals´ experiences of digital tools in Dalarna and Gävleborg Region – a descriptive interview study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: I takt med samhällets växande digitalisering har efterfrågan av e-hälsa ökat, inte minst med Covid-19 pandemin. Digitala arbetsverktyg (DAV) i vården kan öka tillgängligheten till vård och effektiv resursanvändning. Få studier i Sverige har undersökt hur legitimerad sjukvårdspersonal upplever ändamålsenlighet och användbarhet i DAV.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att utforska legitimerad sjukvårdspersonals erfarenheter och upplevelser av vad som underlättar och försvårar i deras dagliga arbete med DAV inom sluten- och öppenvården samt primärvården i Region Dalarna och Gävleborg.Metod: Studien var en kvalitativ intervjustudie. Fem fokusgruppsdiskussioner har genomförts med en semistrukturerad frågeguide. Data har kodats och analyserats med kvalitativ innehållsanalys med en induktiv ansats.Resultat: Analysen resulterade i tre huvudkategorier och tolv subkategorier som innefattar sjukvårdspersonalens upplevelser av underlättande respektive försvårande faktorer vid användandet av DAV samt hur de önskade att DAV ska utformas i framtiden.Slutsats: Resultatet visade att DAV inte är användarvänliga utefter sjukvårdspersonalens behov. Arbetet försvårades på grund av brist på stöd från arbetsledningen vid implementering och användandet. Framöver önskas sammankopplade DAV som interagerar med varandra. Emellertid framkom att e-hälsa varit ett bra alternativ under Covid-19 pandemin till att fortsätta bedriva vård.

Abstract [en]

Background: The demand for e-health has increased with growing digitalization in society, not least with the COVID-19 pandemic. Digital work tools (DAV) in healthcare can increase the availability of healthcare and efficient use of resources. Few studies in Sweden have examined how healthcare professionals experience the appropriateness and usefulness of DAV.Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the experiences of licensed healthcare professionals of what facilitates and complicates their daily work with DAV in hospital care, outpatient care as well as primary care in the Dalarna and Gävleborg Region.Method: The method was a qualitative interview study. Five focus group discussions have been conducted with a semi-structured question guide. Data have been coded and analyzed with qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach.Results: The analysis resulted in three main categories and twelve subcategories that include the healthcare staff's experiences of facilitating and aggravating factors, respectively, when using DAV and how they wanted DAV to be designed in the future.Conclusion: The results showed that DAV are not user-friendly according to the needs of the healthcare staff. The work was made more difficult due to a lack of support from the management during implementation and use. In the future DAV and digital systems that interact with each other were desired. However, it emerged that e-health was a good alternative during the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to provide care.
