Bakgrund: Covid-19 pandemin ställde våren 2020 om primärvårdens arbetssätt till mer digitala möten för att skydda riskgruppspatienter och minska smittspridningen i samhället. För sjuksköterskor var detta ett nytt arbetssätt som tidigare inte praktiserats inom Närhälsan. Närhälsans applikation Närhälsan Online lanserades några år tidigare men var fokuserad på läkarbesök. Under våren 2021 infördes Närhälsan Online på samtliga vårdcentraler Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av digitala vårdmöten via Närhälsan Online. Metod: Semistrukturerade intervjuer med 10 sjuksköterskor genomfördes. Intervjuerna analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet visar att sjuksköterskorna uppskattade digitala vårdmöten och såg möjligheter att påverka sin arbetsmiljö på ett sätt som tidigare ej varit möjligt. Sjuksköterskorna såg också en möjlighet att få en ökad inblick i patienternas liv när mötet flyttade från vårdcentralen och hem till patienten eller dennes arbete. Vinster sågs med att mötena blev effektivare och patienterna sparade tid och pengar när de inte behövde resa till vårdcentralen eller ta ledigt från sina arbeten. Fler patienter kom till de planerade mötena när dessa skedde digitalt. Svårigheter sågs i att det var få patienter som bokade sig själva på besök samt att det fanns språkliga och tekniska hinder som påverkade mötena. Slutsats: Resultatet visar att digitala vårdmöten är ett bra komplement till fysiska möten på vårdcentralen. De fysiska mötena måste alltid finnas men att ge patienter möjlighet att träffas digitalt har öppnat för nya möjligheter. Fler patienter nås och en del som tidigare avbokat sina möten på vårdcentralen visar sig komma mer på det digitala mötet. / Background: In the spring of 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic changed the way primary healthcare was performed. Digital encounters increased in order to protect patients in risk groupsand reduce the spread of infection in society. For nurses, this was a new way of working that had not previously been practiced in primary health care. Närhälsan's application Närhälsan Online was launched a few years earlier but was at that point mainly focused on medical encounters with doctors. In the spring of 2021, Närhälsan Online was introduced at all health centers.  Aim: The aim of the study was to describe nurses' experiences of digital care encounters via Närhälsan Online.  Method: Semi-structured interviews with 10 nurses were conducted. A qualitative content analysis was applied to analyze the interviews.  Results: The results show that the nurses appreciated digital care encounters and saw opportunities to influence their work environment in a way that had not previously been possible. The nurses also saw an opportunity to gain increased insight into the patient's life when theencounters moved from the healthcare center to the home or workplace of the patient. The encounters became more efficient, and the patients could save both time and money. More patients also showed up to the scheduled encounters when they took place digitally. Difficultiesthat appeared was that few patients booked themselves for visits and that there were language and technical obstacles that affected the encounters.  Conclusion: The results show that digital care meetings are a good complement to physical meetings at the health center. The physical meeting must always be a possibility but giving patients the opportunity to meet digitally has opened new ways of providing care. Furthermore, an increased amount of patient’s attend digital meetings thus receiving care.

Plusieurs infirmières nouvellement diplômées (INDs) débutent leur carrière professionnelle avec le soutien d’un programme de transition, offert par leur centre hospitalier, qui vise à faciliter leur intégration professionnelle. Toutefois, peu de programmes semblent inclure la participation d’infirmières gestionnaires directement dans la réalisation de ses activités d’intégration. À ce jour, aucun écrit ne semble avoir explorer la pertinence d’inclure les infirmières gestionnaires dans les activités d’un programme de transition. Cette étude avait pour but d’explorer les perceptions d’INDs en lien avec la participation d’infirmières gestionnaires dans un programme de transition et des retombées perçues sur leur intégration professionnelle. Cette étude qualitative descriptive a été réalisée à l’aide d’entrevues individuelles semi-dirigées auprès de sept participants travaillant dans un centre hospitalier universitaire à Montréal. L’analyse de contenu a été la méthode choisie pour analyser les données récoltées. Selon les perceptions d’INDs, les périodes de discussion de groupe dédiées avec leur infirmière gestionnaire dans un programme de transition ont contribué à la création d’une atmosphère de soutien et de sécurité, l’identification d’un espace désigné de communication, l’établissement d’une relation avec leur gestionnaire et l’amélioration de l’environnement de travail. Les résultats suggèrent que ces périodes de discussion dédiées de groupe entre les INDs et leur infirmière gestionnaire sont une activité appréciée et anticipée, qui tend à faciliter leur intégration professionnelle. Ces résultats invitent les infirmières gestionnaires à davantage s’impliquer durant l’expérience de transition des INDs en organisant des périodes de discussions avec leurs INDs pour comprendre comment mieux les soutenir et faciliter leur intégration professionnelle. / Many newly graduated nurses (NGNs) begin their professional career with the support of a transition program offered by their hospital center that aims to facilitate their professional integration. However, few programs seem to include the nurse manager’s participation directly in carrying out its onboarding activities. To date, no study seems to have explored the relevance of including the nurse manager in the activities of a transition program. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of NGNs in relation to the participation of nurse managers in a transition program and its perceived contributions on their professional integration. A qualitative descriptive study was conducted using individual semi-structured interviews with seven participants working in a university healthcare centre in Montreal. Content analysis was the method chosen to analyze the data collected. According to the perceptions of NGNs, dedicated group discussion periods with their nurse manager in a transition program contributed to the creation of a supportive and safe atmosphere, identification of a designated space for communication, relationship building with their manager and improvement of the work environment. The results suggest that these group dedicated discussion periods between NGNs and their nurse manager are an appreciated and anticipated activity by INDs, that tends to facilitate their professional integration. These results invite nurse managers to be more involved during the transition experience of INDs by initiating discussion periods with NGNs to understand how to better support them and facilitate their professional integration.
