摘要
: Background: Long-term care facilities have been confronted with various workforce challenges, including a poor image within the nursing profession, a shortage of staff, and a growing demand for long-term care. Furthermore, these facilities have been significantly impacted by the pandemic and the respective measures with detrimental effects on residents, staff, and their family members. Aim: This study explored issues in working in residential long-term care from the perspective of nurses and their perception on amplifying and additional effects of Covid-19. Methods: It applied a qualitative design focusing on experiences and views of 25 LTC nurses working in Austrian long term care facilities during the pandemic. Data were collected by conducting in-depth interviews either virtually or in presence. The data analysis was conducted by applying a thematic analysis. Results: The four identified themes are: (1) Work motivation, (2) Dealing with vulnerability, (3) Human Resource Planning and (4) External view on long-term care. For each theme it was delineated which aspects have been present in the pre-Covid-19 situation and which became more visible or arose additionally. Conclusions: Nurturing connection between LTC nurses and with residents and relatives as well as signaling the positive aspects of LTC such as relationships, challenge and responsibility may allow to tackle Human Resource Planning issues. Zusammenfassung: Hintergrund: Station & auml;re Langzeitpflegeeinrichtungen sind mit personellen Herausforderungen konfrontiert, wie etwa einem schlechten Image innerhalb der Pflegeberufe und einem Arbeitskr & auml;ftemangel bei gleichzeitig steigender Nachfrage nach Langzeitpflege. Au ss erdem waren insbesondere diese Einrichtungen stark von der Pandemie betroffen. Forschungsfrage/Ziel: Ziel der Studie war es, Probleme in der station & auml;ren Langzeitpflege aus Sicht der Pflege zu identifizieren und aufzuzeigen, welche Aspekte nach deren Wahrnehmung verst & auml;rkt auftraten und welche aufgrund der Covid-19-Pandemie hinzukamen. Methoden: Mit einem qualitativen Forschungsdesign werden Erfahrungen und Ansichten von 25 Pflegekr & auml;ften, die w & auml;hrend der Pandemie in & ouml;sterreichischen Pflegeeinrichtungen t & auml;tig waren, erhoben. Zu diesem Zweck wurden leitfadengest & uuml;tzte Interviews durchgef & uuml;hrt und mittels Thematic Analysis ausgewertet. Ergebnisse: Die vier identifizierten Themen sind: (1) Arbeitsmotivation, (2) Umgang mit Verletzlichkeit, (3) Personalplanung und (4) externe Sicht auf die Langzeitpflege. F & uuml;r jedes Thema wurde beschrieben, welche Aspekte bereits vor der Pandemie vorhanden waren und welche sichtbarer wurden oder hinzukamen. Schlussfolgerungen: Ein Ansatzpunkt liegt darin, Pflegekr & auml;fte zu unterst & uuml;tzen, eine Beziehung mit anderen Pflegekr & auml;ften, mit Bewohner_innen und mit Angeh & ouml;rigen aufzubauen. Au ss erdem sollten positive Aspekte der Langzeitpflege, wie wertvolle Beziehungen, verantwortungsvolles Arbeiten und anspruchsvolle T & auml;tigkeiten, kommuniziert werden, um Probleme bei der Personalplanung zu adressieren.
