Background: Mobile Emergency Teams (MET) consisting of an anesthetist and an intensive care nurses is a way of working in an emergency phase within the hospital organization. The purpose is to identify critically ill patients in care departments with the help of a nurse. MET is based on predicting, preventing and treating severely ill patients according to a structured prioritization approach. Aim: The purpose of the study was to describe nurse’s experiences of contacting Mobile Emergency Teams (MET). Method: Interview study with descriptive design. Nine interviews were conducted. Results: Nurses in healthcare departments experiences the presence and the knowledge that they could contact MET as a high level of security. Getting help quickly felt important to safety and nurses felt that they trusted the MET. However, feelings of stress, concern and insecurity were also included in the picture. In the majority of meetings with MET, the participants felt that they received a good response, that they had a team feeling of working together. Something that also was found in the study was that nurses in healthcare departments used MET too seldom. Conclusion: MET was experienced as a positive asset in health care for both nurses and patients. Nurses in healthcare departments felt safe to call an MIG team, but the safety was mixed with a sense of stress when these situations occurred.

Bakgrund: Västvärlden har hög medellivslängd vilket inte bara innebär att människor är friska utan att de också finns många som lever med svåra sjukdomar och stort lidande. I Australien startades den Mobila Intensivvårds Gruppen, MIG-team för att minska dödlighet av akut sviktande patienter, som sedan infördes runt om i världen.   Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva sjuksköterskornas upplevelser av den mobila intensivvårdgruppen (MIG-team) samt National Early Warning Score (NEWS), samt beskriva de inkluderade artiklarnas datainsamlingsmetod.   Metod: Beskrivande litteraturstudie. De inkluderade vetenskapliga artiklarna söktes fram i databasen PubMed. Elva artiklar inkluderades som svarade på syftet. Artiklarna inkluderade både kvalitativ och kvantitativ ansats.   Huvudresultat: Många sjuksköterskor ansåg att kommunikationen var viktig. NEWS – National Early Warning Score sågs som ett viktigt verktyg för att effektivisera patientvården då kommunikationen blev snabb och exakt mellan sjuksköterskan och MIG-team. Detta ökade även patientsäkerheten genom att både hjärtstoppslarm och dödsfall har minskat. Sjuksköterskorna önskar överlag mer utbildning för att stärka den egna kompetensen. Det har påvisats att en del av sjuksköterskorna känner sig osäkra att hantera NEWS samt att de känner sig osäkra vid vilken tidpunkt de bör kontakta MIG-team. Osäkerheten skulle med största sannolikhet minska om de fick tillgång till mer utbildning samtidigt som det skulle stärka teamarbetet kring patienten. Datainsamlingsmetoderna i de inkluderade studierna var ett flertal intervjuer, en observationsstudie och datainsamlingar från olika dataprogram.   Slutsats: Kommunikation har visat sig ha stor betydelse både för att säkerhetsställa patientarbete och främja teamarbete i personalgruppen. Införande av NEWS och MIG-team runt om i världen har visats minska hjärtstopplarm och dödligheten på sjukhus, vilket skulle kunna motivera till ytterligare utbildning för sjuksköterskor i NEWS och MIG-team. / Background: In the west world it is a high life expectancy, which not only means thatpeople are healthy but that they also are many who are living with serious illnesses andgreat suffering. The Mobile Intensive Care Group (MIG team) started in Australia toreduce mortality from acute fragile patients, who then introduced around the world. Aim: To describe the nurse´s experiences of Rapid Response Team (MIG-team), andthe National Early Warning Score (NEWS), and to describe the data collection of theincluded articles. Methods: A literature study with descriptive design. The included scientific articleswere sought out in the PubMed database. Eleven articles were included who answeredthe aim. The articles included both qualitative and quantitative approach. Results: Many of the nurse´s concider that the communication was important. NEWSseen as an important tool to streamline patient care when communication was fast andaccurately between the nurse and the MIG- team. This also increased patient safety,which showed that both cardiac arrest alarm and deaths have declined. Nurses wishgenerally more education to enhance their skills. It has been demonstrated that some ofthe nurses feel insecure dealing with NEWS and that they feel uncertain when theyshould contact MIG -Team. The uncertainty would most likely decrease if they hadaccess to more education while it also would strengthen the teamwork around thepatient. Data collection methods in the included studies were several interviews, oneobservational study and data collection from various data programs. Conclusion: Communication has proved to be very important both to the collateralpatient work and promote teamwork in the personnel group. Introduction of NEWS andMIG teams around the world have been shown to reduce cardiac alarms and mortality inhospitals, which could warrant additional training in the MEWS and MIG team for thenurse´s.
