- BACKGROUND: Stress can originate from many different unsatisfying work situations. Registered nurses working in municipal care have experience of work-related stress in different ways.AIM: The purpose of this study was to describe the work-related stress experienced by registered nurses caring for older people at municipal aged care facilities.METHODS: Qualitative semi-structured interviews according to Polit and Beck were carried out in clinical work at six different municipal aged care facilities in Sweden. Twelve registered nurses participated in the study.RESULTS: The results outlined in one main central theme: Feelings of inadequacy and dissatisfaction contribute to work-related stress and three categories: Difficulty coping with work tasks, Insufficient support, Work-related stress affects private lives. Areas identified were lack of time, staff shortages, high number of patients, lack of communication and teamwork in the working group, showing that inadequacy and dissatisfaction can contribute to work-related stress. This can contribute to work-related stress, and it can be a result of problems in the organizational and social work environment.CONCLUSION: This study showed the everyday experiences of registered nurses' stress at work. The reasons that registered nurses experience a heavy workload were found to be similar in several municipal care facilities. Future interventions should consider the areas of stress found in this study to reduce the risk of further increasing the work-related stress experienced by registered nurses working in municipal aged care.

- Background. Dementia not only has a negative effect on a person’s well-being, but it also affects the well-being of their relatives. In this study, we examined how relatives perceive the well-being of people with dementia who live in nursing homes and how nursing staff contribute to the well-being of the residents they care for. Method. A qualitative study with a phenomenographic approach was applied. Ten individual semistructured interviews were conducted, five in Sweden and five in Hungary. In this study, the COREQ checklist for qualitative studies was followed. Results. The perceptions relatives had of what constituted well-being resulted in five categories of factors that could impact negatively or positively on a person’s well-being: “Nursing care is adapted to the needs of the person with dementia,” “Nursing is carried out by a sustainable care team,” “The social needs of the person with dementia are met,” “The person with dementia participates in meaningful activities,” and “The person with dementia shows signs of feeling well.” Conclusion. From relatives'’ perspective, well-being can be created for people with dementia if nursing is person-centred and managers allow staff more time to socialize with the person with dementia. Relatives are essential cooperative partners in person-centred dementia care. Relevance to clinical practice. Person-centred care is essential. Relatives, nurses, and managers are important partners in making it possible. Competence in dementia and knowledge of values and ethics are needed to provide autonomy and well-being. Patient or Public contribution. Ten relatives were selected through purposive sampling. In Hungary, the relatives were invited to take part in the study and given information about it by an operational manger. In Sweden, this process was carried out by a dementia nurse. Transcribed content of semistructured interviews was analyzed using a phenomenographic method.
