ABSTRACT<br />
Purpose: To study <strong>problem</strong>s that ambulance nurses experience at the scene of accident with a<br />
maximum of four affected persons.<br />
Methods: The study is qualitative. Nine ambulance nurses in Uppsala, between 27 and 53<br />
years, were interviewed. A convenience sample was chosen. The semi-structured interviews<br />
were sound recorded. Permission was acquired from the ambulance manager. After<br />
transcription a qualitative content analysis was performed. 11 categories and 19 subcategories<br />
were found.<br />
Results: Pre-hospital <strong>problem</strong>s are bad weather and traffic. Pre-hospital leadership is not used<br />
enough. Mental preparation is important before arrival at scene of accident. The new radio<br />
communication system is not working properly, which hinders interprofessional<br />
communication. Collaboration with the rescue service needs to be improved. The ambulance<br />
nurses request more training and education together with the other professions. The most<br />
demanding patient groups are children and trauma cases.<br />
Conclusions: Pre-hospital leadership is not used enough at a small scene of accident. The<br />
new radio system is not working properly which hinders the interprofessional communication.<br />
More training and education is needed when it comes to children and trauma. The ambulance<br />
nurses request more inter professional training and joint education.<br />
Keywords: Ambulance nurse, experience, scene of accident, <strong>problem</strong> areas.
