Bakgrund: Det ställs allt högre krav på vårdpersonal som arbetar inom äldreomsorgen idag. Ökad arbetsbelastning, tidspress och en högre stress på arbetet påverkar den psykosociala arbetsmiljön inom äldreomsorgen. Enligt Karasek och Theorell så handlar det om krav, kontroll och socialt stöd för att kunna påverka hur vi mår på våra arbetsplatser. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att genom en litteraturöversikt belysa vårdpersonalens upplevda psykosociala arbetsmiljö inom äldreomsorgen. Metod: En litteraturöversikt. Resultat: Det finns en stolthet att arbeta inom äldreomsorgen, en tillfredsställelse av att hjälpa andra och att känna att de kan göra skillnad för någon. Den höga arbetsbelastningen, tidspressen, högt ställda krav, stress och hopplöshet leder till en rädsla av att begå misstag och ger en känsla av att inte känna sig tillfreds på sitt arbete. Att få utvecklas på arbetet har betydelse. Dels att få utbildning och en chans att förkovra sig inom sitt arbete samt dels att få chansen att använda sig av de kunskaper de har. Konklusion: Litteraturöversiktens resultat visar att vårdpersonalen upplever sig frustrerade på sitt arbete, att när kraven är för höga och när de inte har kontroll över sitt arbete minskar arbetstillfredsställelsen. Bra stöd och samverkan från chefer samt arbetskamrater ökar trivseln. Krav och resurser bör ha en hälsosam balans.

<p>The aim of this study was to illuminate how patients with mental illness experience encounters with the nurse in psychiatric care, in order to acquire increased understanding for the patients needs. A litterature study was used to analyse previously published scientific articles within psychiatric nursing care. Content analysis inspired by Graneheim and Lundman was used to perform the analysis. The result showed that the patients recovery depended on the relationship with the nurse. If the relationship was good, the patient was moore likely to regain his mental health, than if the relationship with the nurse was poor. If the nurse was able to take the time for the good conversation, the relationship was moore likely to carry out well. In order to do so, the nurse had to have gained the patients trust. If the nurse had an open attitude and a good dialogue with the patient, he could grow and acquire insight and learn to live with his mental illness. More empirical studies on patients experiences of psychiatric care are needed so that nurses can gain a deeper understanding for how to best meet these patients needs.</p>
