Nurses´ attitudes towards caring for elderly in the emergency department : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund Sjuksköterskorna inom akutsjukvården har en avgörande roll i skapandet av en personcentrerad och respektfull vårdmiljö för patienterna, speciellt för de sköra och äldre i samhället. Dock utmanas det av svårigheter som att bemanna med legitimerad hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal, kompetensbrist och även platsbrist på sjukhusen. Vilket leder till negativa upplevelser både hos patient och personal.

Syfte Att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att vårda äldre på akutmottagningen.

Metod Examensarbetet har genomförts som en strukturerade litteraturöversikt. Databaserna som använts är CINAHL och PubMed, både kvalitativa och kvantitativa artiklar har använts. Översikten är baserad på 15 artiklar.

Resultat I resultatet av denna litteraturöversikt framträder två huvudkategorier: upplevelser av vårdmötet och faktorer som påverkar vårdmötet och vården

Slutsats Fler faktorer påverkade sjuksköterskornas omvårdnad av äldre i form av bristande kunskaper om äldre patienter, svårigheter att prioritera personcentrerad omvårdnad, tidsbrist, hög arbetsbelastning, resursbrist, samt den äldre patientens vårdmiljö.

Abstract [en]

Background Nurses in emergency care play a central role in creating a person-centred and respectful care environment, particularly for the most vulnerable and elderly patients in society. However, this goal is challenged by issues such as a shortage of licensed healthcare professionals, lack of competence, and limited hospital capacity. These factors, in turn, contribute to negative experiences for both patients and healthcare staff.

Aim To enhance nurses' attitudes towards caring for elderly in the emergency department.

Method The thesis was conducted as a structured literature review. A total of 15 articles, including qualitative and quantitative studies, were selected from CINAHL and PubMed databases.

Results The results of this literature review revealed two main categories: Experiences of the care encounter and factors that influence the care encounter and care.

Conclusions Several factors influence nurses' care of the elderly patients, including a lack of knowledge about older patients’ specific needs, difficulties in prioritizing personcentred care, insufficient time, high workload, lack of resources and challenges related to the patient´s care environment.
