Registered nurses' experiences of the importance of the work environment for safe care – A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Inom EU år 2020 uppskattades det finnas en brist på 970 000 hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal. Samtidigt rapporteras vårdskador som hade kunnat undvikas drabba 93 000–98 000 patienter varje år. Sjuksköterskor rapporterar att omvårdnad uteblir på grund av tidsbrist relaterat till hög arbetsbelastning och låg bemanning. Det är viktigt att alla inom hälso- och sjukvården arbetar för att minska vårdskador och skapa säker vård.Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av arbetsmiljöns betydelse för säker vård.Metod: En litteraturstudie där 20 vetenskapliga artiklar med både kvantitativ och kvalitativ design inkluderades i resultatet.Resultat: Sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av arbetsmiljöns betydelse för säker vård beskrivs genom kategorierna organisatorisk arbetsmiljö och psykosocial arbetsmiljö. Det framkommer att chefer och organisation har stor betydelse för att sjuksköterskor ska kunna arbeta för en säker vård. Större lyhördhet krävs från chefer och fler utbildningar för sjukvårdspersonalen, optimala bemanningsnivåer, teamsamarbete, mindre övertidsarbete och mindre arbetsstress.Slutsats: Sjuksköterskans erfarenheter om arbetsmiljöns betydelse för säker vård är att varje organisation och chef anses behöva öka sin lyhördhet och information till arbetstagarna samt ge dem trygghet och kompetens i att använda avvikelserapportering i större utsträckning. En arbetsmiljö med hög arbetsstress och arbetsbelastning påverkar sjuksköterskors förmåga att arbeta mot säker vård då avvikelser, missad eller utebliven vård riskeras.

At the same time, it was reported that 93 000-98 000 patients each year was affected by care injuries that could have been avoided. Registered nurses reported that care is missed due to lack of time related to high workload and low staffing. It is important that everyone in health care work to reduce adverse events as well as to provide safe care.Aim: To describe registered nurses experiences concerning the importance of work environment to provide safe care.Method: A literature review where 20 scientific articles with both quantitative and qualitative design were included in the results.Results: Registered nurses experiences concerning the importance of the work environment regarding providing safe care are described through the categories organizational work environment and psychosocial work environment. It emerges that the managers and the organizations are of great importance in enabling nurses to provide safe care. More responsiveness is required from managers and more education for healthcare workers, optimal staffing levels, teamwork, less overtime work and less work stress.Conclusion: Registered nurses experiences concerning the importance of the work environment in their ability to provide safe care. Every manager and organization should consider increasing their responsiveness and communication with health care professionals and give them security and competence in using incidence reporting to a considerable extent. A work environment with high workplace stress and workload affect nurse’s ability to provide safe care and increases the risk for incorrect, missed care.
