Aim: The aim of this study was to explore nurses' experiences working with patients with substance use disorders (SUD) in hospital settings, from a nursing perspective. This was done by focusing on the challenges and opportunities in dealing with this patient group. Method: This is a systematic literature study based on four qualitative and two quantitative research articles, and one review article. The articles were found by doing a systematic search in the databases CINAHL Complete, PubMed and Medline. Results: Through this study we ended up with two themes. Nursing competance and nurses' attitudes. Most of the included articles confirm that nurses often hold preconceived negative attitudes toward patients with SUD. Nurses felt unprepared and unsure when working with this patient group. Conclusion: This study confirms that nurses often approach hospitalized patients with SUD with negatively charged attitudes, which affects the quality of nursing care provided. Many nurses feel usure, unsafe and afraid of being manipulated when caring for these patients. Our study concludes that increased understanding, education, and knowledge about addiction are key factors in improving confidence and enhancing the level of care provided to this patient group.
Hensikt: Hensikten med denne studien var å utforske sykepleieres erfaringer i møte med pasienter med ruslidelser på sykehus, sett fra et sykepleieperspektiv. Dette med fokus på både utfordringer og muligheter i møte med denne pasientgruppen. Metode: Dette er en systematisk litteraturstudie som baserer seg på fire kvalitative studier, to kvantitative studier og en reviewartikkel. Disse ble funnet ved systematiske søk i databasene CINAHL Complete, PubMed og Medline. Resultat: Gjennom denne studien kom vi fram til to tema. Sykepleiekompetanse og sykepleiers holdninger. Mange av artiklene i denne studien indikerer at sykepleiere har forutinntatte negative holdninger mot pasienter med ruslidelser. Sykepleiere føler seg uforberedt og usikker når det kommer til møte med denne pasientgruppen. Konklusjon: Studien kom fram til at sykepleiere har en tendens til å møte pasienter med ruslidelser med negative holdninger, noe som påvirker sykepleieutøvelsen. Mange er ofte usikker, redd for å bli manipulert og uforberedt i møte med denne pasientgruppen. Studien vår konkluderer med at økt forståelse, læring og kunnskap innenfor ruslidelser er nøkkelen til å trygge sykepleiere og øke omsorgsnivået i møte med denne pasientgruppen.
