Sjuksköterskor upplever stora krav och stor belastning i sitt dagliga arbete, dels från patienter, dels från kollegor och dels från sig själva vilket gör att de ofta känner sig otillräckliga. Den stora fysiska och psykiska belastningen leder till att sjuksköterskor känner oro över kvaliteten på vården vilket ger upphov till moralisk stress. Sjuksköterskor upplever moralisk stress i högre grad än andra professioner och är en betydande orsak till att sjuksköterskor avslutar sin anställning. I tidigare forskning har få studier moralisk stress som huvudsyfte. Därför syftar denna allmänna litteraturstudie till att undersöka närmare vad sjuksköterskan upplever i sin moraliska stress.

Syfte: Att undersöka i vilka situationer moralisk stress förekom hos sjuksköterskor inom somatisk vård och hur uppfattningen av moralisk stress påverkades av sjuksköterskans ålder och erfarenhet. Bakgrund: Moralisk stress hos sjuksköterskor uppkommer när de vet vad som borde göras, men strukturella, organisatoriska eller ekonomiska faktorer utgör ett hinder för att utföra rätt handling. Effekter av detta kan leda till dålig självkänsla, depression eller att arbetsplatsen lämnas. Metod: En litteraturstudie med granskning och bearbetning av tio kvantitativa vetenskapliga artiklar genomfördes. Resultat: Sjuksköterskor upplevde moralisk stress i samarbete med andra professioner samt vid samarbete inom den egna professionen. Moralisk stress upplevdes vid meningslöst vårdande som till exempel ineffektiv vård när läkaren gav inkompetent vård. Även vid meningslöst livsuppehållande vård upplevdes moralisk stress. I vissa etiska situationer och vid besparingar som innefattade personalbrist och kostnadsbesparingar, uppstod även moralisk stress.

Projektets övergripande syfte var att undersöka tillämpbarheten av Interactive Voice Response (IVR) som en modern metod för utvärdering, övervakning och påverkan av intagna som blivit villkorligt frigivna från ett fängelsestraff.
