Newly graduated nurses experience of being faced with acute care situations : a literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund Studier visar att nyexaminerade sjuksköterskor som kommer ut till arbetslivet beskriver det som en ”verklighetschock” då det kan vara stressfullt och de är inte beredda på det. Akuta vårdsituationer är något man ställs inför som sjuksköterska och det förväntas av dem att kunna hantera detta. Studier visar även att det finns svårigheter för de nyexaminerade sjuksköterskorna som kommer ut i arbetslivet.

Syfte Syftet var att beskriva nyexaminerade sjuksköterskors upplevelse av att ställas inför akuta vårdsituationer.

Metod Examensarbetet har genomförts som en strukturerad litteraturstudie med inslag av den metodologi som används vid systematiska översikter. Databaserna CINAHL och PubMed har använts och elva artiklar hittades. En integrerad analys användes för att ta fram resultatet.

Resultat Resultatet landade i tre kategorier: emotionella reaktioner, olika aspekter av kompetens och organisatorisk påverkan. Inom varje kategori formulerades två underkategorier. Underkategorierna är tvivel på sig själv, hantering av svår sjukdom och död, teoretisk kompetens, handlingsberedskap, brist på stöd samt brist på tid.

Slutsats Resultatet visar att nyexaminerade sjuksköterskor upplever den första tiden som utmanande. Utmaningar som upplevdes var brist på resurser som exempelvis tid och stöd från övriga kollegor. Otillräcklig erfarenhet var något som hindrade handlingsberedskapen i akuta vårdsituationer. En tänkbar lösning till detta skulle kunna vara ett introduktionsprogram med mentorskap för de nyexaminerade sjuksköterskorna.

Abstract [en]

Background Studies show that newly graduated nurses who come out to workforce describes it as a“reality shock” because it can be stressful, and the newly graduated nurses is not preparedfor that. Acute care situations are something that a RN face and is expected to manage. Studies also shows that there are difficulties for newly graduated nurses entering the workforce, therefore this bachelor ́s thesis was accomplished.

Aim The aim was to describe newly graduated nurses’ experiences of managing acute care situations.

Method This bachelor ́s thesis has been accomplished as a structured literature study with elements of the methodology used in systematic reviews. The databases CINAHL and PubMed have been used and eleven articles was found. An integrated analysis was used to find the result.

Results The results resulted in three categories: emotional reactions, different aspects of competence and organizational impact. Within each category, two subcategories were formulated. The subcategories are self-doubt, management of serious illness and death, theoretical competence, preparedness of action, lack of support and lack of time.

Conclusions The results show that newly graduated nurses experience the first period as challenging. Challenges that were experienced were a lack of resources such as time and support from other colleagues. Insufficient experience was something that hindered readiness for action in acute care situations. A possible solution to this could be an introductory program with mentoring for the newly graduated nurses.
