Abstract:
Objective:To systematically evaluate the qualitative study of ICU nurses' experience in caring for patients undergoing shallow sedation and mechanical ventilation, and provide reference for improving the quality of shallow sedation nursing.Methods:Qualitative studies about ICU nurses' experiences of caring for patients undergoing shallow sedation and mechanical ventilation were systematically searched in Chinese and English databases such as Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, Ovid, Wanfang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology Medicine disc, and VIP. The search period was from database establishment to June 30, 2024. Included literature was assessed according to the Joanna Briggs Institute Center for Evidence-Based Health Care quality assessment criteria for qualitative research. The results were summarized and analyzed through the aggregative meta-synthesis method.Results:A total of nine articles were included. Eight subcategories and were synthesized into three integrated results of difficulties and challenges, positive coping, and facilitation strategies for sedation management.Conclusions:ICU nurses encounter difficulties and challenges in caring for patients undergoing shallow sedation and mechanical ventilation. Although nurses themselves are able to respond positively, nursing managers need to provide additional sedation management support strategies to improve the quality of nursing.
