The Covid-19 pandemic changed the conditions for basic hygiene routines inprimary health care. : A qualitative interview study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Basala hygienrutiner är en av grundstenarna inom omvårdnad och brister inom följsamheten leder till ökad smittspridning och ohälsa. När världen drabbades av covid-19 pandemin i början av 2020 påverkades både vårdpersonalens arbetsmiljö och välbefinnande negativt. Samtidigt sjönk vårdpersonalens följsamhet till de basala hygienrutinerna för första gången i nationella mätningar sedan 2010. Syfte: Att beskriva distriktssköterskors erfarenheter av att arbeta enligt de basala hygienrutinerna inom primärvården under covid-19 pandemin. Metod: Kvalitativ intervjustudie med induktiv ansats. Individuella intervjuer genomfördes med åtta distriktssköterskor. Materialet analyserades med en innehållsanalys med manifest inriktning. Resultat: Distriktssköterskors erfarenheter av att arbeta enligt de basala hygienrutinerna under covid-19 pandemin beskrivs under huvudkategorierna “arbetsmiljö” och “kunskap”. Under “arbetsmiljö” uppkom underkategorierna: tidsbrist minskar följsamheten, materialtillgången påverkar följsamheten och den fysiska arbetsplatsen påverkar förutsättningarna. Under “kunskap” uppkom underkategorierna: arbetsgruppens utbildning ökar följsamheten, erfarenhet av att utföra de basala hygienrutinerna och förändrad kännedom om smittspridning. Slutsats: Distriktssköterskors erfarenheteter av att arbeta enligt de basala hygienrutinerna påverkas och förändras av deras arbetsmiljö, kunskap och av att ha arbetat under covid-19 pandemin. Detta innebär att åtgärder för att hantera minskad följsamhet av de basala hygienrutinerna behöver baseras på de erfarenheter som finns i den aktuella verksamheten och arbetsgruppen.

Abstract [en]

Background: One of the cornerstones of nursing is basic hygiene practices. Deficiency in compliance leads to increased spread of infection and morbidity. When the Covid-19 pandemic spread across the world, in the beginning of 2020, both the work environment and the well-being of healthcare workers were affected negatively. At the same time as the health care workers´ compliance to basic hygiene routines dropped for the first time since 2010 according to national evaluations. Aim: To describe the district nurse's experiences working according to the basic hygiene routines in primary care during the covid-19 pandemic. Method: Qualitative interview study with an inductive approach. Individual interviews were conducted with eight district nurses. The material was analyzed with a content analysis with manifest orientation. Results: District nurses' experiences of working according to the basic hygiene routines are described under the main categories “work environment” and “knowledge”. Under “work environment” could the following subcategories be identified: lack of time reduces compliance, availability of materials affects compliance and the physical workplace affects the conditions. Under “knowledge” did the following subcategories arise: training of the work group increases compliance, experience of performing the basic hygiene routines and changed knowledge about spread of infection. Conclusions: District nurses' experience of working according to the basic hygiene routines is affected and changed by their work environment, knowledge and having worked during the covid-19 pandemic. This means that measures to handle the reduced adherence to basic hygiene routines need to be based on the experiences of the current workplace and group.
