Pasientsikkerhet i overflytting fra postoperativ til kirurgisk avdeling – konsekvenser for utøvelse av intensivsykepleie

Abstract

Hensikt: Formålet med studien er å gi intensivsykepleiere en bredere oversikt over aspekter og konsekvenser av innføring av elektronisk kurve på postoperativ avdeling, og for pasientoverføring til kirurgiske sengeposter. Dette ble gjort ved å hente inn erfaringer fra sykepleiere på kirurgiske sengeposter, i den hensikt å få dybdekunnskap om hvordan kommunikasjon fra sykepleiere og intensivsykepleiere ved postoperativ avdeling påvirker pasientsikkerhet i overflyttingsprosessen. Metode: Studien ble gjennomført ved bruk av kvalitativ metode, med en eksplorerende og induktiv tilnærming. Data ble samlet inn gjennom to semistrukturerte fokusgruppeintervju, hvert bestående av fire sykepleiere fra forskjellige kirurgiske sengeposter. Studien er gjennomført ved det sykehuset vi har tilknytning til. Kvalitativ innholdsanalyse er benyttet for å analysere data. Funn: Funn viser at sykepleierne på kirurgiske sengeposter opplever forbedret kommunikasjon med postoperativ avdeling etter innføring av elektronisk kurve. Samtidig identifiserer de flere utfordringer og forbedringspotensialer. Tre tema som har betydning for pasientsikkerhet, pekte seg ut: 1) Samhandling og felles kommunikasjon, 2) feil, mangler og utfordringer i informasjonsoverføring og 3) et felles dokumenteringssystem. Overgang til elektronisk informasjonsoverføring har ført til færre misforståelser som før kunne oppstå på grunn av utydelig håndskrift eller utilgjengelig kurve. Dette gir tryggere informasjonsutveksling med postoperativ avdeling. Den elektroniske kurven oppleves effektiv, tidsbesparende og tilgjengelig. Funn viser behov for utbedring av systemet og identifiserer forbedringsområder. Uklare ansvarsforhold og utilstrekkelig opplæring oppgis som opphav til uforsvarlig legemiddelhåndtering. Konklusjon: Erfaringer viser at elektronisk kurve oppleves som et bedre system i sin helhet, sammenliknet med papirkurven. Samtidig presenteres det tydelige behov for utbedring av systemet for å ivareta pasientsikkerhet i overflyttingsprosessen fra postoperativ avdeling. Opplevelse av uklare ansvarsforhold og manglende opplæring representerer en reell fare for svikt i pasientsikkerheten. Mangel på felles scoringsverktøy utgjør en risiko for at informasjon kan gå tapt som resultat av mangel på felles kommunikasjon, og presenteres som innspill for forbedring.

Aim: The study aims to give intensive care nurses a broader overview of aspects and consequences related to the implementation of an electronic journal in the post-operative ward, and for patient transfer to the surgical ward. This was done by collecting experiences from surgical bedside nurses, with the intention of gaining in-depth knowledge of how communication between nurses and intensive care nurses in the post-operative ward affects patient safety in patient transfers. Method: The study was conducted using qualitative method, with an exploratory and inductive approach. Data is collected through two semi-structured focus group interviews, each consisting of four nurses from different surgical bedside posts. The study was carried out at the hospital to which we are affiliated. Qualitative content analysis is used to analyze data. Findings: Results reveal that surgical bedside nurses have positive associations to the implementation of an electronic journal. However, they also face several challenges related to information transfer. Three themes that have importance for patient safety emerged: 1) Interaction and joint communication, 2) errors, shortcomings and challenges in information transfer and 3) a shared documentation system. The transition to electronic information transfer has led to fewer misunderstandings that could previously arise due to unclear handwriting or an inaccessible curve. This provides safer information exchange with the postoperative department. The electronic journal is perceived as efficient, time-saving and accessible. Findings show a need for improving the system and areas for improvement are identified. Unclear responsibilities and insufficient training are cited as reasons for improper drug handling. Conclusion: Experiences show that the electronic journal is perceived as an overall better system, compared to the paper journal. However, it is evident that improvement of the system is necessary to ensure patient safety in the transfer process from the post-operative ward. Experiences of unclear responsibilities and lack of training represent a real danger to patient safety. A lack of a shared scoring tool poses a risk of loss of information due to deficient joint communication and is presented as input for improvement.
