Abstract

Background: The knowledge of the landscape of COVID-19 research performed by nurses in hospitals and health services is scarce. It is important to identify, map and share knowledge and thus provide a better understanding of the important research performed by nurses.

Aims: To provide a comprehensive overview of Nordic nurses' focus areas of research during and related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to extract knowledge on recommendations for future evidence-based practice.

Methods: The electronic databases of MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL (via EBSCO) and Scopus (via Elsevier) were searched for studies describing all areas of nursing during and related to the COVID-19 pandemic conducted in the Nordic countries. Studies conducted by a nurse as the first or last author and published from March 2020 to March 2022 were included in the scoping review. The protocol for the review is registered at Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/f8kuq).

Results: Of 8412 studies found in the comprehensive search, 119 studies met the inclusion criteria. The studies were written by nurses from Denmark (42%), Sweden (31%), Norway (20%), Finland (6%) and Iceland (1%). The majority of studies (39%) covered patients' and relatives' experiences of visiting restrictions and social distancing and relatives' communications with healthcare professionals. Twenty-six per cent of included studies covered healthcare professionals' experiences of caring for patients infected with COVID-19, working during the pandemic and suffering from the consequences of both.

Linking evidence to action: The recommendations of evidence-based practice for future pandemics show that social distancing for disease prevention must be provided while considering the human consequences of social distancing. Special training is also recommended for healthcare professionals caring for COVID-19 patients accompanied by psychosocial support for their mental well-being. Additionally, virtual contact is an important supplement to personal treatment and face-to-face contact during social restrictions.

北欧护士在 COVID-19 大流行期间及与之相关的研究领域。范围审查及循证实践建议。

背景：有关医院和医疗服务机构中护士开展的 COVID-19 研究情况的知识十分匮乏。目的：全面概述北欧护士在 COVID-19 大流行期间及与之相关的重点研究领域，并提取有关未来循证实践建议的知识：方法：在MEDLINE（通过PubMed）、CINAHL（通过EBSCO）和Scopus（通过Elsevier）等电子数据库中搜索北欧国家在COVID-19大流行期间及与之相关的所有护理领域的研究。由护士作为第一作者或最后作者、于 2020 年 3 月至 2022 年 3 月期间发表的研究均被纳入范围界定综述。综述协议已在开放科学框架（https://osf.io/f8kuq）上注册。结果：在全面搜索中发现的 8412 项研究中，有 119 项研究符合纳入标准。这些研究由来自丹麦（42%）、瑞典（31%）、挪威（20%）、芬兰（6%）和冰岛（1%）的护士撰写。大多数研究（39%）涉及病人和亲属在探视限制和社会疏离方面的经历，以及亲属与医护人员的沟通。在纳入的研究中，有 26% 涉及医护人员护理 COVID-19 感染者、在大流行期间工作以及承受这两种后果的经历：针对未来流行病的循证实践建议表明，必须在考虑社会隔离对人类造成的后果的同时，提供社会隔离以预防疾病。我们还建议对护理 COVID-19 患者的医护人员进行特殊培训，并为他们的心理健康提供社会心理支持。此外，在社会限制期间，虚拟联系是个人治疗和面对面接触的重要补充。
