Health care staff work environment in elderly care : A qualitative study of its impact on occupant safety (English)
Abstract [sv]

Det har blivit allt mer vanligt att vårdpersonal inom äldrevård arbetar under svåra förhållanden som personalbrist, arbetsbelastning och stress. Vårdpersonalen hanterar olika tillstötande svårigheter under sitt arbete och de svårigheter som de utsätts för leder till att misstag sker vilka påverkar brukarsäkerheten. Det huvudsakliga syftet med studien var att undersöka och analysera vårdpersonalens arbetsmiljö genom att studera vilka brister de upplever i sitt arbete och hur detta påverkar brukarsäkerheten.

Forskningsfrågorna för studien var: 1. Vilka situationer är det som skapar stress hos vårdpersonalen? 2. Hur påverkar detta vårdpersonalens uppfattningar om sin arbetssituation och tanken om brukarsäkerhet? För att få svar på dessa frågor genomfördes semistrukturerade intervjuer med följande teman: arbetsmiljö och brukarsäkerhet. Intervjuerna utfördes med sex undersköterskor på två olika äldreboenden i Göteborg. Utifrån en tematisk analysmetod analyserades och bearbetades data från intervjuerna för att hitta teman som var huvudsakliga för ämnet. Teman som framträdde är följande; stress, personalbrist, riktlinjer och chefernas agerande. Även några underrubriker framkom i vissa huvudteman som har identifierats. Utifrån studien kan vi konstatera att ledningen har en skyldighet och en avgörande roll när det kommer till att åstadkomma en säker arbetsmiljö för vårdpersonal och brukare.

Abstract [en]

It has become increasingly common for health care workers in elderly care to work in difficult conditions, such as staff shortages, workloads and stress. The nursing staff manages various intercurrent difficulties in their work and these difficulties they face lead to mistakes which affect the safety for the elderly. The main purpose of the study was to investigate and analyze the nursing staff working environment by studying what deficiencies they experience in their work and how this impacts the safety.

The research questions for this study were: 1. What situations create stress among health care staff? 2. How does this affect the health care staff perceptions of their work situation and the idea of occupant safety? To answer to these questions, a semi-structured interview guide with the following themes was performed: environment and occupant safety. The interviews were conducted with six nurses at two different homes for elderly in Gothenburg. Data was analyzed and processed from the interviews to identify themes that were essential to the subject by a thematic analysis. Themes that emerged were the following; stress, staff shortage, policies and actions of managers. Even some subthemes emerged in some of the major themes that were identified. Based on the study we can conclude that the management has the obligation and a vital role when it comes to providing a safe working environment for health professionals and residents.
