Female district nurses’ experiences of their work situation in primary care (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Hälso-och sjukvården står inför en rad långsiktiga och strukturella utmaningar med höga krav. Inom primärvården är bristen på distriktssköterskor stor. Att vara kvinna och arbeta inom hälso-och sjukvård har visat sig kunna relateras till en sämre upplevd hälsa, ofta med diagnos utifrån sin psykiska hälsa vilket leder till en hög sjukfrånvaro. Kvinnliga distriktssköterskor väljer ofta att byta yrke eller till arbetsplats med andra arbetsuppgifter. Syfte: Syftet med den här studien var att belysa kvinnliga distriktssköterskor och undersöka deras erfarenheter av sin arbetssituation inom primärvården ur ett salutogent perspektiv. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en mixed method enkätundersökning med en kvalitativ frågeställning. Data insamlades med hjälp av en elektronisk enkät som deltagarna kom åt via en länk eller QR kod. Samtycke till studien sker i och med att deltagaren skannar länken eller QR koden. Resultat: Studien visade att distriktssköterskor inom primärvården upplevde sin arbetssituation som meningsfull och utvecklande. Begripligheten är i det hela hög, det är hanterbarheten som gör att känslan av sammanhang är låg. Slutsats: Undersökningen av de kvinnliga distriktssköterskorna i denna studie påvisar att de upplever en god hälsa utifrån KASAM. För att bibehålla hälsan hos distriktssköterskan ska hon värderas utifrån sin specialistkompetens och få möjligheten till kliniskt patientnära arbete utan tidspress samt få vara delaktig i vårdutveckling utifrån sin kunskap.

Abstract [en]

Background: Healthcare is facing several long-term and structural challenges with high demands. In primary care, the shortage of district nurses is greatest. Being a woman and working in health care has been shown to be related to a poorer perceived health, often with a diagnosis based on one's mental health, which leads to a high level of sickness absence. Female district nurses often choose to change profession or to a workplace with other tasks. Aim: The aim of this study was to highlight female district nurses and examine their experiences of their work situation in primary care from a salutogenic perspective. Method: The study was designed as a mixed method survey with a qualitative question. Data was collected using an electronic survey that participants accessed via a link or QR code. Consent to the study occurs when the participant scans the link or QR code. Results: The district nurses valued highly that they felt meaningful in their professional role, they felt that they developed in their work and that the tasks are understandable. What emerges from our survey is that it is the area of manageability that the district nurses do not have the feeling of mastering. Conclusions: The survey of our female district nurses in this study shows that they experience good health based on KASAM. To maintain the health of the district nurse, she must be valued based on her specialist skills and be given the opportunity to work clinically close to patients without time pressure and be allowed to participate in care development based on her knowledge.
