Clean mouth equals clean lungs? : An investigation of the effect of oral care as a prevention of hospital acquired pneumonia (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Vårdrelaterad pneumoni är en av de vanligaste vårdrelaterade infektionerna inom svensk sjukvård. Att drabbas av vårdrelaterad pneumoni ökar risken för sjuklighet samt dödlighet. Munvård är en basal omvårdnadsåtgärd som sjuksköterskan ansvarar över. I dagsläget är munvård en åtgärd som genomförs för patientens välbefinnande snarare än som en preventiv åtgärd. När munvård inte utförs kan det leda till förändringar i munhålan som i sin tur ger ökad risk för pneumoni.

Syfte: Att undersöka effekterna av munvård som prevention mot vårdrelaterad pneumoni hos patienter inlagda på sjukhus.

Metod: En litteraturstudie baserad på åtta kvantitativa interventionsstudier. Databassökningen genomfördes i Cinahl och PubMed. Analysen genomfördes med hjälp av Popenoes analysmodell för att sedan sammanställas till ett resultat.

Resultat: I sju av åtta studier minskade insjuknandet av vårdrelaterad pneumoni efter implementering av en munvårdsintervention.

Konklusion: Det finns ett samband mellan minskat insjuknande i vårdrelaterad pneumoni och munvårdsinterventioner. För att fastställa munvårdens effekt mot vårdrelaterad pneumoni krävs vidare forskning.

Abstract [en]

Background: Hospital acquired pneumonia is one of the most common healthcare associated infections in Sweden. Suffering from hospital acquired pneumonia increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. Oral care is basic nursing care. Oral care is often considered a comfort arrangement in caring for patients, rather than a preventive one. The risk of pneumonia increases due to changes in the oral cavity which is a cause of not receiving oral care.

Aim: To investigate the effects of oral care as prevention of hospital acquired pneumonia in patients admitted to hospitals.

Methods: The analysis was conducted using Popenoe's analysis model. Eight quantitative studies were analyzed, which were identified in the databases PubMed and Cinahl. Using Popenoe´s model a result could be concluded.

Results: The analysis of the eight studies presented a decreased incidence of hospital acquired pneumonia in seven studies after an implementation of an oral care intervention.

Conclusion: It was found to be a relationship between reduction in the incidence of hospital acquired pneumonia and oral care intervention. In order to determine the effect of oral care due to hospital acquired pneumonia, supplementary research is required.
