Full textSyfte: Att undersöka ambulanssjuksköterskors upplevelser av Boussignac CPAP jämfört med deras föregående modell, samt ambulanssjuksköterskors eventuella förslag till möjliga förbättringar vid användandet av CPAP i vården av patienter med lungödem. Metod: En kvalitativ studie med deskriptiv och utforskande ansats. Data utgörs av tio semistrukturerade intervjuer med ambulanssjuksköterskor, sju män och tre kvinnor. Materialet har analyserats med Lundman och Graneheims innehållsanalys. Resultat: Tre kategorier identifierades: Användning, Behandling samt Utveckling. Boussignac CPAP beskrivs som lättanvänd och med färre moment än föregående modell. Med modellen uppskattas särskilt möjligheten att steglöst reglera motståndet. Boussignac CPAP upplevs som lättare då masken eller dess delar inte behöver plockas av patienten vid överlämnandet från ambulansverksamheten. Förutsättningarna till ökat användningsområde, i och med möjligheten att steglöst ändra motståndet för Boussignac CPAP upplevs inteutnyttjas fullt ut. Slutsats: Boussignac CPAP upplevs av ambulanssjuksköterskorna ha underlättat hanteringen av utrustningen samt ökat vårdkvaliteten för patienten. För att vidare kunna utnyttja potentialen med Boussignac CPAP kan mer utbildning och förändringar i riktlinjer behövas.

Every day media reports acts of violence in various kinds. Crime statistics shows that threats and violence are increasing in regard to both frequency and intensity within the nation. Nurses in the ambulance service are often the first to meet with a patient, therefore these nurses often find themselves in situations where violence and threats occur or have occurred. Drug addiction or some kind of illness are often reasons behind threats and violence.
Earlier studies within this area of knowledge are mostly foreign and therefore little describes Swedish nurses` experiences of threats and violence within the ambulance service.
The purpose of this study was to describe nurses experiences of threats and violence in the meeting with patients within the ambulance service.
The study is a qualitative interview study performed within the School of Life Sciences at the University of Skövde. Six nurses were interviewed with the criterion that they should have experienced threats and violence within their occupation. The primary information was analyzed with a qualitative method.
The result showed that threats and violence occur within the occupation and that the nurses feel exposed for the same. It indicated that the types of threat vary and that the education concerning how threats and violence should be handled is considered poor by the nurses themselves. The result also showed that the patient care is affected by the amount of threats and violence that the nurses are exposed to.
There is a need for further research within this area of knowledge and within education in how to handle these situations for personnel in the ambulance service.

Full textBackground: Acute seizures affects a large number of people both nationally and internationally. Seizures are primarily treated with benzodiazepines, such as Diazepam and Midazolam. Sweden's prehospital treatment guidelines differ in the treatment of acute seizures. Region Halland renewed the treatment guidelines in 2011 and introduced intranasal administration of Midazolam. Objective: To compile the treatment guidelines for medical treatment in prehospital seizures in Sweden and to survey the use of benzodiazepines in prehospital seizures in Region Halland. Method: A quantitative register study with a retrospective design was used. A compilation of Sweden's prehospital treatment guidelines was performed. Chi-Two and Fishers exact test are used in the analysis of the collected data from 127 ambulance journals in Region Halland. Results: The compilation of Swedish prehospital treatment guidelines for seizures showed that the treatment guidelines differ nationally. The survey of the use of benzodiazepines in prehospital seizures in Region Halland showed that Diazepam was the most commonly used drug, and that there was a significant difference in treatment with Diazepam rectally related to the age of the patient. Most patients treated with Midazolam intranasally needed additional therapy with Diazepam intravenously. Conclusion: The prehospital treatment guidelines for seizures differs nationally. Diazepam was the most commonly used drug and the compliance with the treatment guidelines is inadequate in Region Halland. More research is needed regarding from the ambulance nurse's experiences of treating ongoing prehospital seizures in order to provide patients with proper care in a safe way.

Full textBackground. To provide safe care for patients, good communication between different professional caring groups is essential. Lack of communication is usually due to misunderstanding of the respective roles between involved professionals and disturbances in the environment where the communication is carried out. For a well-functioning collaboration between personnel in the ambulance and rescue services, good communication is of utmost importance. Purpose. The purpose of the study was to investigate the experience nurses in the ambulance service have of communication with the rescue service during collaboration. Method. A qualitative interview study with an inductive approach with eleven nurses active in the southern part of Sweden was conducted. By using the Critical Incident Technique, the nurses' experience and the handling of specific incidents related to communication with the emergency services were defined. The interviews were analyzed through a qualitative content analysis with the aim of creating categories and themes of the experiences. Results. Two main themes emerged: Characteristics of good communication during collaboration and characteristics of lack of communication during collaboration. The two main themes contained eight themes based on the participants' descriptions of the Critical Incidents and their handling and behavior around these incidents. Conclusion. There are benefits when ambulance personnel and emergency services personnel work at the same station. The advantage of knowing each other by name also increases the understanding of each other's work and collaboration becomes easier. A well-functioning communication contributes to effective teamwork. In connection with major events, the risk of failure during communication increases. This may affect patient care. It is recommended to have joint practice where the different professional groups learn from each other. Further research in the field is recommended.

Full textSjuksköterskan i ambulanssjukvården ska snabbt och tillförlitligt utföra prehospitala bedömningar av medicinska tillstånd hos patienter. En bedömning av ett medicinskt tillstånd är en kontinuerlig process och utgår från patientens första symtom eller tecken, och ska klargöra de möjliga underliggande fysiologiska faktorerna till hur det uppkommit. Bedömningen är viktigt för att det medicinska tillståndet kan vara livshotande för patienten. I jämförelse med miljön på sjukhus är förutsättningarna annorlunda för att utföra bedömningar av medicinska tillstånd hos patienter i prehospital miljö. De prehospitala miljöerna är inte anpassade för att bedriva akutsjukvård och medicinska tillstånd hos patienter kan vara svårbedömda.
Syftet var att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att bedöma medicinska tillstånd hos patienter i prehospital ambulanssjukvård.
Metoden var en kvalitativ intervjustudie med nio sjuksköterskor inom den prehospitala ambulanssjukvården. Intervjuerna har analyserats med innehållsanalys.
Resultatet redovisas i tre kategorier: Förmåga och ett behov av att identifiera kroppsliga tecken, behov av tillgång till hela människan och miljöns påverkan på bedömning samt de nio underkategorierna: medicinsk kunskap, diagnostiska instrument, kroppsundersökning, få tillgång till patientens värld, relationsbyggande, beroendeställning till patienten, yrkeserfarenhet, miljöns påverkan och anhöriga.
Resultatet visade på att sjuksköterskorna upplevde att det var viktigt för bedömningen att ha ett bra bemötande till patienten. De upplevde också att medicinska kunskaper, yrkeserfarenheter, diagnostiska instrument och en bedömningsstruktur var viktigt för bedömningen av ett medicinskt tillstånd. De upplevde även att det var en tillgång att utföra bedömningen i patientens hemmiljö. Sjuksköterskorna upplevde att bedömningen blev svårare om patienten var i ett berusat eller medvetslöst tillstånd. Sjuksköterskorna upplevde otrygghet i miljöer som var osäkra och stress om det var mycket människor i omgivningen där patienten skulle bedömas. Sjuksköterskorna upplevde en frustration över att inte känna sig tillräckliga i vårdsituationer där barn och anhöriga var i behov av ett omhändertagande i samband med patientens bedömning. Anhöriga upplevdes vara en tillgång för bedömningen när information skulle inhämtas om tillståndet hos patienten.
Slutsatsen blev att sjuksköterskorna upplevde det var viktigt att ha kunskap, bra bemötande, flexibilitet och uppmärksamhet vid bedömningen av det medicinska tillståndet hos patienten. Sjuksköterskorna upplevde att bedöma patienten utifrån ett sammanhang skapade information till bedömningen om det medicinska tillståndet hos patienten.

Full textBackground: Nursing care should be conducted on an individual level with a focus on physical environment, social support and the patients own abilities. Ambulance staff should be able to give good care, both physical and mental, regardless preconditions and environment. The prehospital care is performed 24 hours a day. The nurse has a responsibility for ensuring that a health-promoting environment is maintained. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the ambulance care during different parts of the day. Method: This study has a qualitative approach. A total of eleven semi-structured interviews have been carried out with registered nurses and specialist nurses specializing in ambulance care active within the prehospital care. A qualitative content analysis has been used to analyze the collected material. Main result: The ambulance care was affected both positive and negative due to the time of the day it was performed. Two themes emerged from the result. The first was Perform good care and the second was Perform insufficient care. The first theme included that the ambulance care that was performed during day time and in the beginning of the shift was considered positive, while the second theme included ambulance care that was performed during night time and in the end of the shift was considered negative. Conclusion: During some parts of the day, ambulance staff perform inadequate care, which in turn can lead to patient safety risks. It is important that the ambulance staff provides good nursing 24 hours a day. This in order to maintain good patient safety and minimize potential risks to the patient.

Full textIn recent years, regional guidelines have implemented to provide patients’ cared for by Emergency Medical Services [EMS] care alternatives to the traditional transport to the closest hospital. The purpose for this is to provide the most appropriate level of care based on the patients’ needs. Since 2013, these guidelines have been tested on a project basis in a region in Sweden. Providing that certain criteria are met, the ambulance specialist nurse, in agreement with the patient, is able to offer the patient an adequate level of care, often with a quicker admittance at four walk-in centers in the region, During 2013, 566 patients have been brought by EMS to these walk-in centers, according to the EMS journal system. The purpose was to describe the patient that has been brought to walk-in centers by the EMS and describe the management process. The study was a retrospective journal review where results were presented by descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate differences among patient demographics concerning gender, as well as differences in priority set by emergency dispatch and severity of the patients’ condition according to the EMS. Furthermore, the EMS was shown to deviate from the criteria that the regulatory guidelines were founded on. The study gives insight to a relatively new patient group, illustrating variations in demographic data as well as reasons contact with the EMS. There were differences concerning equality between genders, both from emergency dispatch as well as the EMS. The cause for these differences requires further research. The guidelines providing the basis for this new approach were not followed to the full extent, motivating further research into the content of these guidelines, as well as attitudes of the EMS personnel.

Full textABSTRACT Ambulance care developments regarding medical technology and medical expertise have created the opportunity for ambulance nurse to care for patients at a very advanced level. It has also created the opportunity to triage, prioritize and steer patients towards the most suitable medical care unlike before when all ambulance missions resulted in a visit to an emergency room. This is a possibility that is handled differently depending on where in Sweden the ambulance nurse is working. The objective of this study was to elucidate care on site in conjunction with ambulance missions within a specific hospital area. The study was based on a quantitative approach and was a journal study where ambulance medical records were reviewed. The results show that there are monthly fluctuations over a full year perspective, but these are small and difficult to interpret. The biggest difference is between November, 15,3 percent (n=489) and May 11,6 percent (n=386). When the day distribution of the sought after assignment was analyzed it was found that the night (22.00 to 05.00) is the time when most of the missions, relatively, are resulting in a non-transportation of the patient by ambulance. The difference is illustrated by comparing the time between 09.00 to 10.00 when only 6,5 percent (n=149) of the ambulance assignments resulted in that the patient did not have to be transported by ambulance and with the time between 01.00 to 02.00 when 26,4 percent (n=222) were handled in the same way. The study area's total of nine stations was examined for comparative purposes and the results indicate that there might be differences between these stations ways of working. What has further emerged from the comparison of these stations was that the satellite stations that are linked to a master station operates more generously with allowing patients to remain on pick up location or to get referring to an alternative way of transport. This despite the fact that it is the same staff that is manning these two connected stations. The difference between the highest relative frequency and the lowest relative frequency was between station 2 with 22,8 percent (n=336) and station 7 by 8,6 percent (n=689). The result shows in terms of assignment time that an assignments that results in care on site or referring to an alternative way of transport takes the median time of 28 minutes less to perform than other assignments. The fluctuations over a year are difficult to interpret and would need further and deeper studies for proper conclusions to be drawn. The daily distribution of non-transport assignments, points out that there is a need for access to primary care even during on-call hours. The effect that care on site may have could mean that the area may benefit from increased preparedness, which ultimately can lead to shorter waiting times for acutely ill patients.

Full textBackground: In order to provide a clear description from the patients' perspective regarding their experiences in the ambulance care and at the emergency department, it is important to consider their expectations of this service. An ambulance nurse must be able to show engagement and empathy, as well as the ability to interpret and predict patients' various needs. Objective: To describe patients' experiences of interactions and relationships in the ambulance care and in the emergency department. Methods: A litterature review with a systematic approach in which studies (n=20) with qualitative methods are included. The searches of the articles were made in the databases CINAHL and PUBMED. Results: The results are divided into three sections: firstly, the initial perceived response of the ambulance crew, secondly more than transportation in an emergency vehicle and finally how people are treated in the emergency department. Conclusion: When there is a need for emergency care, the ambulance service and emergency department of a hospital are the first instances patients come in contact with. The patient's experience of treatment and hospitality in these instances are crucial to, and affects how trust is developed for their continued care.

Full textThe demand from care homes on NHS services continues to rise, with little evidence of ambulance service contribution in this area. The Yorkshire Ambulance Service provides an advanced practitioner model to support care homes in Sheffield, as an alternative to calling 999. This study investigated the experiences and needs of the care home staff who use the ambulance service advanced practitioner model. This qualitative study conducted semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with 19 staff members from 10 different care home settings. Thematic analysis using a combination of NVivo and manual coding was undertaken. The three key themes from the interviews were variations in service demand, the service user’s expectations and experience, and benefits to residents. Participants reported that good community services reduced the need to call 999, empowering carers to support residents to remain in the community. Care homes require comprehensive services that meet their needs. The advanced practitioner model provided by the ambulance service supports this, preventing unnecessary 999 calls and fitting with other community service provision.

Full textBackground: Being in environments that can be perceived as threatening is not unusual for ambulance nurses. Being exposed to threats in their work occurs and is perceived as a problem by many in the ambulance business and according to national as well as international studies, is a growing problem. Working in prehospital care means that you often work within an exposed environment. As a threatening situation affects healthcare, an important part of the ambulance nurse´s field of expertise is to create a safe care space where the patient can receive adequate care. Aim: The aim of the study was to describe ambulance nurse's perceptions of threats associated with the treatment of sick or injured persons. Method: Qualitative interview study with phenomenographic approach. A strategic selection was used which resulted in ten interviews with ambulance nurses at an ambulance station in a medium-sized city. The interviews were sound recorded and transcribed post the interviews. Results: The analyzed interviews appeared in four descriptive categories on the perception of ambulance nurses on threats associated with the treatment of sick or injured persons. The four description categories were: That it is part of the job, Personal circumstances and professional experience, Managing a threatening situation and To only perform the necessary. Conclusion: The perceptions regarding threats varies a lot, a number of different were more extra common. As example that a gender differentiated ambulance crew were perceived as something positive, also that the caring relationship suffers and that the only necessary care is given if a situation is regarded as being threatening.

Full textAbstractBackground: The ambulance service has a broad task, which includes caring for people regardless of gender, age or background. The background of the study describes ambulance care, competence in the ambulance, the care process in the ambulance, the patient group of children in the ambulance, communication with children and patient safety. Previous research and literature show that the patient group of children is seen as a challenge in the ambulance service and in ambulance care, care assignments with children are rare and in order to be able to properly assess and care for children, it is important as an ambulance staff to have knowledge of the differences that exist in comparison with adults.Aim: To highlight the ambulance staff's experience of caring for children within the ambulance care.Method: The study was conducted through a systematic literature review. The searches were done in PubMed and Cinahl. The articles have been quality reviewed and analyzed according to Bettany-Saltikov and McSherry (2016) and then compiled into a result.Results: Ambulance staff feel that caring for children in ambulance care is emotional and challenging. The ambulance staff also experience a need for more training and education, as well as limitations in being able to perform patient-safe care for the patient group children.Conclusion: The study provides an overview that ambulance staff need continuous training and education that continues throughout their professional lives, which is crucial for improving and maintaining the knowledge required to care for children in the ambulance service in a patient-safe manner. Further research could be to investigate whether the varying competence of the ambulance staff affects the experiences of the care for children in the ambulance service.

Full textBackground: Sweden is going through a demographic change in which a larger part of the population no longer has swedish as its first language. At the same time the ambulance service is transforming from a purely transporting service to an integrated part of the patients overall healthcare. This new mission involves to gather information, to assess, when needed to treat and finally to transport or direct the patient to the most suited level of care. This process is based on a correct patient history, assesment and triage. Previous research has shown that language barriers in hospitals result in an increased risk of delays, costly examinations and injuries. Prehospital research on language barriers have traditionally focused on the emergency phone-call. Aim: The purpose of this study was to explore ambulance staffs experiences and perceptions of assessing and caring for patients where language was a barrier. Method: This was a qualitative study using a qualitative content analysis. Participants included six Swedish ambulance nurses and two ambulance nursing assistants who all had experience in assessing and caring for patients where language had been a barrier.Participants were recruited based on convenience. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using inductive content analysis. Results:Four main categories emerged. A more physical evaluation encompassed how the providers increased the importance of outside physical attributes to assess the patients condition and level of urgency. To communicate differently comprised hos staff despite language barriers sought to communicate with the patient. To process without information described information that staff despite attempts were unable to map and how this affected their assessment and decision-making. The final category regarded to create a relationship through the language barrier and how participants perceived that their interpersonal carewas affected by language difficulties. Conclusion: The ambulance staff perceived and experienced the assesment and care where language was a barrieras characterised by a higher degree of uncertainty and a wish to compensate for alack of information. This compensation manifested itself through a more thorough, wider physical examination and an assessment based on the principle of ”belt and suspenders”. This was perceived as a limitation as staff abstained from certain actions, such as administering pain relief or directly admitting the patient to primary care or a geriatric ward. The assessment and care for the critically ill patient did not differentiate from that of the everyday case. The moderately ill patient however was perceived as not to be given thesameoptions to an individually adapted care and handling. Part of this problematique could be adressed through an expanded and adapted language- and decision making-tool for the crews.

Full textPrehospital care is an important part of the Swedish health system, the care process is dedicated to any kind of emergency out-of-hospital acute medical care. The quality of prehospital care varies between different counties, depending on their technical equipment and work methods. This essay investigates how Region Kronoberg (RK) and Stockholm’s County Council (SLL) have dealt with IT- and information security questions concerning prehospital care. The essay is conducted by collecting laws and guidelines related to IT-security. Interviews were later on conducted with intention to collect information about RK’s and SLL’s definition of accessibility and communication of patient journals This essay shows that RK and SLL begun digitizing their prehospital care at different times, but that they are as in now able to use equally safe methods for dealing with journals. The reason behind this is that they both root their solutions in the secluded network Sjunet. It is further concluded that SLL and RK have different prerequisites for journal access. Lastly, we could conclude that the greatest security risk is not associated with the connection between hardware, but rather misplacing any hardware containing delicate information.

Full textBackground: Nurses in the ambulance business are exposed to many different situations in the work environment that risk affecting the care of the patients. They risk being subjected to both physical and mental stress, which in some cases can result in the risk of patient-safe care being compromised. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the nurse's experiences of how the work environment can affect the care in ambulance care. Method: The study was a qualitative interview study based on semi-structured interviews. It was 15 nurses' experiences in the ambulance business that form the basis for the result. The interviews were analyzed through a qualitative content analysis with a manifest approach. Result: The result highlighted that there are a number of factors in the work environment that, according to the experience of the ambulance staff, affect the care in prehospital care. The analysis of the interviews resulted in five different themes, Round the clock activities, Safe working environment, Meeting, Physical work and Knowledge. These themes summarize the informants' experiences of how the work environment risks affecting care. Conclusion: The conclusion of the study shows that there are many factors with the working environment that affect the care. Factors that were considered important were the meeting with their colleagues, patients and relatives. Knowledge and lack of knowledge were raised as an important aspect when it comes to whether it should be possible to perform patient-safe care. Many experienced the long work passes as tiring, which in turn risks affecting the meeting with everyone involved. What was perceived as positive was that in today's ambulance care, the aids are constantly refined which means less lifting which is seen as positive for both the patients and the ambulance staff.

Full textBackground: According to statistics, ambulance emergency were increased but the density decreases, which requires a well-functioning prioritization of patients seeking emergency care from the central station. Those who are not in need of urgent ambulance transport to the hospital to be redirected to seek other care medical center or stay at home with self-care. Purpose: is to compare patients with the same ESS Code of ambulance records that are either transported to a hospital or keeping people with self-care at priority alarm. Method: A retrospective case-control study with a quantitative approach. A medical record review of 139 included ambulance records from southern Sweden. Results: The proportion of priority a mission in which the patient was at home with self-care in this study were 193 pieces, 7.2 per cent. Based on the results, there were no differences in age between patients who remained and was transported by ambulance to the emergency room and hospital. There were also no significant differences between the sexes based on time of day. However, there was a significant difference as regards the distance to the hospital. For patients who lived ≤ 8 km radius of a hospital stayed 83st (59.7%) remain in the home with self-care. For patients with ≥ 8 km from the hospital stayed 106 (76.3%) remain in the home with self-care. Total of patients transported consistent monitoring center index with the ambulance nurse ESS Code at 52%. For patients who were able to remain in the home was the consistency 42% between the central station's index and the ambulance nurse ESS. Conclusion: The study did not demonstrate a difference between gender and time of the transported toward those who could stay at home, however, there was a significant difference in the number of patients who were transported and could stay home, depending on the distance between their accommodation and hospitals. Although there was an improvement in potential between SOS Index and the ambulance nurse ESS code. For ambulance nurse, it is important to treat all patients equally regardless of external factors, in this study revealed that the distance had a meaning. This we get that ambulance nurses bring to us and not let be crucial for the care we decide to give.

Full textABSTRACT Patients seek care at emergency departments through ambulance, which is a reported problem when their condition could be treated at another level of care. As the number of visitors increases in emergency departments in Sweden causing overcrowding, serious consequences can occur in healthcare professionals and patients. Patients do not always receive the most appropriate care in emergency departments. In swedish healthcare it is unusual to allow ambulance nurses to disregard emergency departments for other levels of care. This results in overcrowded emergency departments and ambulances being used for the wrong purpose. Skills and equipment have developed treatment options for ambulance nurses, which result in further qualified interventions being carried out at the location. Ambulance nurses assess the patients need of care and decide on appropriate care facilities, in order to streamline resources, patients with mild disorders can be transported to primary care. The aim was to highlight the factors that affect the ambulance nurses decision to referral the patient to primary care. The method of the study was descriptive and was based on a qualitative and inductive approach. The sample was purposeful and consisted of seven ambulance nurses working in southern Sweden. Inclusion criteria were that the informants had a specialist nursing degree in ambulance care and had worked for at least one year. Interviews have been conducted based on a semi-structured questionnaire with follow-up questions. The analysis method was based on a qualitative content analysis. The result consists of five categories: guidelines in ambulance organisation, patient assessment, participation in decision-making on health care, ambulance nurses skills and cooperation with primary care. There was an uncertainty among ambulance nurses about which patients the primary care could treat. Ambulance nurses included the full complexity of the patient in their assessments, which was based on the patients general condition, vital signs and exhibited symptoms. Referral to primary care only occurred in patients with mild disorders. The dialogue with the patient and relatives regarding the appropriate level of care was stated to be essential. Ambulance nurses emphasized the importance of using their skills in decision making on the appropriate level of care. A wish for better accessibility to primary care was highlighted among ambulance nurses. The conclusion was that ambulance nurses took a variety of factors into account when deciding the patient referral to primary care. Ambulance nurses highlighted the complexity of the decision and expressed the importance of ensure the patients safety. Patients were transported to emergency departments even though the health center could have been an appropriate level of care. This was because of the difficulties encountered between patients and their relatives, but also the availability of primary care. Ambulance nurses wanted to help reduce the load in emergency deparments and advise patients to the appropriate care level. Keywords: ambulance nurse, care level, primary care and guidelines.

Full textEvery year, about six thousand cardiac arrests occur outside hospitals in Sweden. Only ten percent are estimated to survive. The ambulance nurse has guidelines for how she should start, carry out and possibly terminate a cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the prehospital setting. The problems surrounding termination of a cardiopulmonary resuscitation has been scarcely studied. The decision is made under strained conditions with ethical conflicts involved, which can affect the ambulance nurse's mental well-being and her ability to further carry out her work. The purpose of the study is to describe the experiences of interrupting cardiopulmonary resuscitation among nurses in ambulance care and how these experiences may be influenced by different factors (some of which may be amenable for improvement) and linked to the ambulance organization, the healthcare provider and circumstances at the event. A qualitative interview study has been performed to address the purpose of the study. Twelve interviews were conducted with ambulance nurses from three ambulance stations in western Sweden. An open-ended question with reference to the purpose of the study was answered by the informants. The result indicates that the ambulance nurse, during the most common type of cardiac arrest, does not experience the interruption as particularly problematic. Furthermore, the study shows that surrounding factors in connection with the interruption have an impact on the ambulance nurse. What the informants described as important in the context was the conversation with the colleague and time for recovery and reflection after an emotionally stressful situation. The ambulance nurse safeguards her professional role and in order to maintain this, they need certain conditions in the environment. It is important that the organization around the ambulance nurse ensures that these requirements are met so that she or he can carry out the work in a satisfactory manner and at the same time not be affected too much on a personal level. A new track in the training of cardiopulmonary resuscitation where the ambulance nurse gains increased knowledge in dealing with people in grief and crisis and to organizationally consider the need for time for conversation and reflection, mainly together with the closest colleague, may be of value in the future.

Full textBackground: Patients assessed by ambulance staff are on a regular basis referred to a different level of care. However, there is little research that highlights how patients experience treatment in such situations. This is important to explore as studies show that patients' experience of their care is greatly affected by the response of ambulance staff. Using the second dimension of the Fundamentals of Care (FOC) framework, the integration of patients' basic health care needs can be described on the basis of physical, psychosocial and relational aspects that are necessary regardless of medical conditions. Objective: To explore patients' experience of the treatment from the ambulance staff when referring patients to other levels of care, based on physical, psychosocial and relational needs. Method: A qualitative interview study based on content analysis. Participants were four females and six males in ages 25–75 (44,8). Results: Physical needs were met by thorough examination and by making a plan for continued care, which gave participants a sense of security. Psychosocial needs were met through information, dignity and participation. Participants felt reassured and confirmed by receiving clear, personalized information. Relational needs were met by a professional and empathetic approach from the ambulance staff. The care relationship and experience was impaired by poorly personalized treatment. Conclusion: Patients experience a good treatment when they have their physical, psychosocial and relational needs met, in situations where ambulance staff refer them to a different level of care.

Full textBackground: The competence of the personal in the ambulance team differ between the county councils. In some counties it has to be a specialist nurse that has the medical responsibility while in other counties it is a registered nurse that has that position. Today there are no guidelines for what specialist education the specialist nurse working within the ambulance care should have, even though there is an education for specialist ambulance nurse. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the formal competencies of the different specialist nurses that works in ambulance care in Sweden. Method: A summative content analysis of the documents describing the competencies for the difference specialist nurses was made. Results: Twelve documents describing the competencies were analyzed which all gave four main categories. Number of subcategories and keywords varied. Medical knowledge was identified as a main category in eleven of twelve documents describing the competencies and was the biggest in seven out of twelve documents describing the competencies. The result also showed that the competencies described in the documents mainly focused on the care area where they are meant to be practiced. Conclusion: The theoretical formal competencies differ between the documents describing the competencies for specialist nurses. Lack of theoretical knowledge designed for the variation of patient in prehospital care could influence patient safety.
