Caring around the clock : Nurses' experiences of working shifts (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Vid skiftarbete störs sömnen bland annat av att den biologiska dygnsrytmen rubbas, vilket kan få negativa konsekvenser på psykisk och fysisk hälsa samt på det sociala livet. Kvantitativ forskning har visat att sjuksköterskor som arbetade treskift hade högre nivåer av stress, minskad livslust samt sämre copingförmågor. Det framkom att skiftarbete påverkade både sömn, fysisk aktivitet och matvanor. 

Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att arbeta skift.

Metod: Denna litteraturstudie genomfördes med nio kvalitativa artiklar som studerade sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av skiftarbete. Sökningarna gjordes via databaserna PubMed och Cinahl och artiklarna analyserades enligt Fribergs femstegsmodell.

Resultat: Tre kategorier framkom vilket genererade åtta subkategorier. Kategorierna var "Att arbeta oregelbundet", "Att sova, koppla av och återhämta sig" och "Prioritera kosten för att orka". 

Konklusion: Att arbeta skift kan inverka på en sjuksköterska både psykiskt, fysiskt, socialt och professionellt. För att hantera de negativa effekterna av att arbeta skift kan regelbundna rutiner för sömn, kost och privatliv.
