Anestesisjuksköterskors handläggning av postoperativ smärtlindring i generell anestesi : - en kvalitativ intervjustudie

Bjerger, Simon, Andersson, David January 2020 (has links)
Sammanfattning Bakgrund: Det är fortsatt förekommande med komplikationer relaterat till medelsvår och svår postoperativ smärta. Anestesisjuksköterskan har det samlade omvårdnadsansvaret för patienten perioperativt. En helhetsbedömning av patienten avgör postoperativt smärtlindringsbehov. Den Perioperativa dialogen skapar mening i arbetet och trygghet för patienten. Författarna identifierade avsaknad av riktlinjer vid genomförandet av en individuell helhetsbedömning vid handläggning av postoperativ smärtlindring. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa hur anestesisjuksköterskor planerar, genomför och utvärderar postoperativ smärtlindring i generell anestesi utefter tidsfaserna pre-, intra- och postoperativt samt inverkan av den perioperativa dialogen. Metod: En kvalitativ studie genomfördes med tio semistrukturerade intervjuer. Data analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys med en induktiv ansats. Resultat: I resultatet framkom fyra huvudkategorier med totalt elva underkategorier som berör informanternas handläggning. Preoperativa åtagande - Planeringsprocess Känna ansvar för planering, Skapa vårdrelation, Beakta patientens känslotillstånd. Intraoperativa vårdmoment - Konstant utvärdering av behandling, Anpassa behandling fortlöpande, Självständigt ansvarsområde. Postoperativa förhoppningar - Eftersträva återkoppling, Undvika smärtgenombrott. Perioperativa organisatoriska aspekter - Anpassa utefter arbetsförhållanden, Avsaknad av den Perioperativa dialogen. Slutsats: Handläggningen av postoperativ smärtlindring är ett komplext område vilket kräver beaktning av flera faktorer för ett gott utfall. Den perioperativa dialogen är inte prioriterad. Det saknas konsensus för anestesisjuksköterskans handläggning av postoperativ smärta. Det krävs utveckling och ett utökat samarbete av hela vårdkedjan för att kunna möta den postoperativa smärtproblematiken. / Abstract Background: Complications still occur in connection to moderate and severe postoperative pain. The nurse anaesthetic´s is completely responsible for the patient care perioperative. An overall assessment of the patient all together determine the postoperative need of analgesic. The perioperative dialogue is a method which gives the nurse anaesthetic´s a sense of meaningfulness of the work and creates a perception of safety for the patient. The authors identified the absence of guidelines to make an individual overall assessment when managing postoperative pain. Aim: The aim of the study was to elucidate the nurse anaesthetic´s planning, implement and evaluate postoperative analgesic during total anaesthesia along the time-phases pre-, intra and postoperative and the impact of the perioperative dialogue. Method: A qualitative study was conducted with ten semistructured interviews. A qualitative content analysis was made with an inductive approach. Result: The result is presented in four head categories and eleven sub-categories that illuminate the informants’ experiences. Preoperative undertakings - Feeling responsibility for planning, Create a care-relation, Respect the patients emotional state. Intraoperative steps – Constant evaluation of treatment, Adapt the treatment continuously, Independent responsibility. Postoperative expectations – trying to obtain feedback, Avoid outbreak of pain. Perioperative organizational aspects – Adjustment along work situation, Absence of the perioperative dialogue.    Conclusion: The postoperative pain management is a complex matter that demand consideration of several aspects to achieve a good outcome. The perioperative dialogue is not prioritised. There is a lack of consensus among nurse anaesthetic´s managing postoperative pain. Developing and increasing cooperation along the entire chain of care is necessary to manage the issue of postoperative pain.

An investigation into the integration of qualitative and quantitative techniques for addressing systemic complexity in the context of organisational strategic decision-making

McLucas, Alan Charles, Civil Engineering, Australian Defence Force Academy, UNSW January 2001 (has links)
System dynamics modelling has been used for around 40 years to address complex, systemic, dynamic problems, those often described as wicked. But, system dynamics modelling is not an exact science and arguments about the most suitable techniques to use in which circumstances, continues. The nature of these wicked problems is investigated through a series of case studies where poor situational awareness among stakeholders was identified. This was found to be an underlying cause for management failure, suggesting need for better ways of recognising and managing wicked problem situations. Human cognition is considered both as a limitation and enabler to decision-making in wicked problem environments. Naturalistic and deliberate decision-making are reviewed. The thesis identifies the need for integration of qualitative and quantitative techniques. Case study results and a review of the literature led to identification of a set of principles of method to be applied in an integrated framework, the aim being to develop an improved way of addressing wicked problems. These principles were applied to a series of cases in an action research setting. However, organisational and political barriers were encountered. This limited the exploitation and investigation of cases to varying degrees. In response to a need identified in the literature review and the case studies, a tool is designed to facilitate analysis of multi-factorial, non-linear causality. This unique tool and its use to assist in problem conceptualisation, and as an aid to testing alternate strategies, are demonstrated. Further investigation is needed in relation to the veracity of combining causal influences using this tool and system dynamics, broadly. System dynamics modelling was found to have utility needed to support analysis of wicked problems. However, failure in a particular modelling project occurred when it was found necessary to rely on human judgement in estimating values to be input into the models. This was found to be problematic and unacceptably risky for sponsors of the modelling effort. Finally, this work has also identified that further study is required into: the use of human judgement in decision-making and the validity of system dynamics models that rely on the quantification of human judgement.
