Nurses' clinical experience in identifying sepsis in patients within the health care system : A litterature review with a qualitative approach (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: 49 miljoner människor runt om i världen drabbas årligen av sepsis samt orsakar 11 miljoner dödsfall. Det är ett allvarligt och livshotande tillstånd där varje timme räknas för att minska dödligheten och därmed krävs en tidig identifiering för en snabb och adekvat behandling samt en säker vård.

Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors kliniska erfarenheter av att identifiera sepsis hos patienter inom hälso- och sjukvården.

Metod: En litteraturöversikt som inkluderade åtta vetenskapliga artiklar publicerade mellan 2003 och 2022. Data inhämtades från databaserna CINAHL och MEDLINE samt genom sekundär sökning. Innehållsanalys utfördes enligt Fribergs fem steg.

Resultat: Två huvudkategorier och sex underkategorier identifierades. Sjuksköterskors kliniska erfarenheter av att identifiera sepsis (erfarenhet påverkar tidig identifiering, symtom och varningstecken, klinisk erfarenhet av diffusa symtom). Faktorer som påverkar sjuksköterskornas identifiering av sepsis (kunskap och arbetsstöd, samverkan i team och kommunikation, arbetsbelastningens betydelse).  

Slutsats: Sepsis är ett komplext tillstånd som kan vara svårt att identifiera när diffusa symtom och tecken uppvisas. Sjuksköterskornas förmågor att identifiera sepsis påverkas av olika faktorer såsom kunskap, klinisk erfarenhet och arbetsmiljö.

Abstract [en]

Background: 49 million people around the world suffer from sepsis annually and cause 11 million deaths. It is a serious and life-threatening condition where every hour counts to reduce mortality and thus early identification is required for prompt and adequate treatment for a safe care.

Aim: The purpose was to describe nurses' experiences of identifying sepsis in patients within the health care.

Method: A literature review that included eight scientific articles published between 2003 and 2022. Data were obtained from the databases CINAHL, MEDLINE and by secondary search. Content analysis was performed according to Friberg's five steps.

Results: Two main categories and six subcategories were identified. Nurses' clinical experience in identifying sepsis (experience affects early identification, symptoms and warning signs, clinical experience of diffuse symptoms). Factors influencing the nurses' identification of sepsis (knowledge and work support, teamwork and communication, workload importance).

Conclusion: Sepsis is a complex condition that can be difficult to identify when diffuse symptoms and signs are present. The nurses' abilities to identify sepsis are affected by various factors such as knowledge, clinical experience and work environment.
