In spring 2020, a global SARS-Cov-2 pandemic was declared. The number of patients in need of intensive care exceeded the number of available care places at intensive care units (ICUs) and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) were relocated to ICUs to support the care during the pandemic. The aim of this study was to illuminate the experiences of the CRNAs regarding relocation to COVID-19 intensive care. An interview study based on qualitative content analysis was conducted. The participants were CRNAs who usually work in the operating unit, however, were relocated to work in the COVID-19 ICU at a university hospital in southern Sweden during the pandemic. Four themes emerge in the results: sense of pride, competence, work environment, and nursing. The results illuminate the CRNAs' experience of relocating from their usual working environment to caring for critically ill patients in a COVID-19 ICU. The CRNAs managed the relocation well, although sometimes it was difficult. The CRNAs showed great loyalty, dedication, competence, and flexibility in their professional capacity. The time they worked in COVID-19 intensive care was a challenging period, but it gave them a well-deserved sense of pride and competence.
2020 年春季，全球宣布爆发 SARS-CoV-2 大流行。需要重症监护的患者人数超过了重症监护病房（ICU）的可用床位数量，注册护士麻醉师（CRNA）被重新调配到 ICU 以在大流行期间提供支持。本研究旨在阐明 CRNA 关于重新调配到 COVID-19 重症监护室的经历。这是一项基于定性内容分析的访谈研究。参与者是通常在手术室工作的 CRNA，但在 COVID-19 大流行期间被重新调配到瑞典南部一所大学医院的 COVID-19 ICU 工作。研究结果中出现了四个主题：自豪感、能力、工作环境和护理。研究结果阐明了 CRNA 从其常规工作环境重新调配到 COVID-19 ICU 照顾重症患者的经历。CRNA 很好地管理了重新调配，尽管有时很困难。CRNA 在他们的专业能力中表现出极大的忠诚、奉献、能力和灵活性。他们在 COVID-19 重症监护室工作的时间是一个充满挑战的时期，但这给了他们应得的自豪感和成就感。
