Full textSammanfattning
Fibromyalgi har betraktats ända framtill våra dagar som en ren psykosomatisk sjukdom som uppkom utan känd orsak. Sjukdomen innebar en ständig smärta och en oändlig trötthet/ utmattning. Det fanns ingen behandling för sjukdomen bara lindra symtomen. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva hur kvinnor med fibromyalgi upplevde sin livssituation. Metoden som användes var en litteraturstudie med beskrivande design. Artiklarna kvalitetsbedömdes, innehållet sammanställdes och resulterade i fyra kategorier. Resultatet som rörde dem fysiska aspekterna av livssituation visade att smärta, trötthet/utmattning och sömnlöshet var vanligt förekommande symtom i kvinnornas vardag som påverkade deras livskvalitet. Symtomen hindrade dem från att leva ett aktivt liv samt delta i sociala aktiviteter. De psykiska aspekterna inom livssituationen visade att kvinnorna med fibromyalgi gav uttryck för en längtan efter det liv de levt innan sjukdomen och den förlorade identiteten. De sociala aspekterna visade att kvinnorna med fibromyalgi hade en önska att få spendera mer tid tillsammans med familjen. Sjukdomen hade också en negativ inverkan på förhållande och separationer var inte ovanligt. Arbetet prioriterades högt och arbetslivet uppskattades som stimulerande. Bristen på synliga symtom vid sjukdomen gjorde att kvinnorna blev ifrågasatta av personer i omgivningen och sjukvårdspersonal. Under de existentiella aspekterna föll de positiva sidorna med sjukdomen in. Kvinnorna började reflektera över alla måsten och plikter i livet samt lärde sig att prioritera på ett bättre sätt.

Full textBackground: Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterized by widespread pain, hypersensitivity to the touch but other body areas are also affected. Method: A literature study was conducted in which 10 scientific articles were analyzed and discussed. Purpose: The main purpose was to investigate possible risk factors that may affect the development of fibromyalgia. Results: The results of this study raised four themes describing risk factors. Traumatic childhood events, including both physical and verbal abuse and sexual abuse, were risk factors. Becoming a victim of trauma as an adult, where physical abuse, operation and work related injuries were included, was a risk factor as was stress and a high BMI. Discussion: Study results showed that there are many risk factors that affect the development if this syndrome. All persons exposed to one of these risk factors however does not develop fibromyalgia, so most likely it is a combination of several risk factors that makes the development of fibromyalgia possible. Conclusion: More research is needed to study the connection between physical, psychological and social risk factors.

Full textFibromyalgia is a chronic disease that often has been questioned as a diagnosis. The disease causes chronic and widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances and concentration difficulties. The aim was to describe experiences of living with fibromyalgia. The method used was a literature study based on thirteen qualitative scientific articles. The articles used in the result were compiled and presented in four categories: An intransigent body, A changed life, Lack of respect and support from the surroundings and To accept and learn how to live with the illness. The result showed that fibromyalgia affected the lives of the persons in many different ways. Living with fibromyalgia was a life-change in which the disease limited the everyday life. The persons didn’t only fight against the symptoms, but were even forced to fight to be accepted and trusted by their surroundings. The conclusion that can be drawn is that there was a continuous struggle in which the persons had to obtain confirmation and to know that their families and caregivers took them seriously. Encouragement and support from the caregivers is needed in order to help the patient so that he or she can achieve well-being.

Full textBackground: Fibromyalgia is a lifelong disease. The exact cause is unknown, but pain is one of the fundamental symptoms that affects the mobility of the patient. The disease affects about two percent of the world's population and 75-85 percent are women. The etiology behind the disease is not entirely known. It is difficult to diagnose fibromyalgia and patients go through many medical examinations. It usually takes up to five years to receive a diagnosis. Aim: The purpose was to describe women’s experience of living with fibromyalgia. Method: A literature review based on eight qualitative studies from the databases PubMed and CINAHL. Results: Four main categories were identified: The experience of pain and fatigue, experience of total change in the daily life with three subcategories: Limitation in daily routines, limitations in social life and limitations at work. The third main category is the experience of losing identity. The fourth is to be mistrusted with the associated subcategories: To be mistrusted by the surrounding, to be mistrusted by the medical care. Discussion: The discussion contains of a method discussion where the weaknesses and strengths of the review are discussed. In the result discussion, the results were discussed using Katie Eriksson's Nursing Theory. Fibromyalgia has a major impact on women’s lives. Pain and fatigue have been described as the basis for all limitations. According to Katie Eriksson theory this can be defined as different kinds of suffering that the woman living with fibromyalgia have experienced.

Full textBackground: There is no biomedical reason why fibromyalgia occurs. Today, the patients are diagnosed mainly by the symptoms that are part of fibromyalgia. The cause of fibromyalgia is unclear, and it consists of both physical and psychological problems that make the disease difficult to treat. It is important to have a holistic approach when treating patients with fibromyalgia. Aim: To create an overview of current research of women’s experiences of living with fibromyalgia. Method: The study is designed as a study based on thirteen scientific articles which have been analyzed. Results: The main symptoms for women with fibromyalgia were pain, fatigue, exhaustion, depression, sleep disorders and cognitive impairments. The main themes that have emerged are A disease that affects the daily life and To struggle with the healthcare. Furthermore, the results show four subthemes which were based on that the limitations of the disease demand the women to restructure their life situation achieve quality of life. Conclusion: Increased knowledge and understanding of the experiences of patients living with fibromyalgia, may contribute to a better attitude and a better care for this group of patients. This may lead to improvement of women’s experiences of the disease.

Full textBackground: Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease which affects about 2 - 4 % of the population, of which 80% are women. Although the disease was described in the early 18th century, during other aliases, the cause remains nebulous. Fibromyalgia is manifested by extensive symptoms that daily constitute physical, social, mental and cognitive suffering for the patient. Aim: The aim was to enlighten the patients ́ experience of living with fibromyalgia. Method: A general literature study was conducted, based on the findings in ten qualitative articles. The result was encoded and divided into categories. Results: The results were divided into five categories: limitations in everyday life, mental limitations, limitations in social relationships, limitations in working life andlimitations in the care contact. Fibromyalgia turned out to affect the patients ́ world of life and caused suffering. Experienced symptoms contributed to social isolation where lack of knowledge was a contributing factor, as a forced lifestyle change proved to be a threat to the patients ́ identity and sence of self. Conclusion: The study clarified how fibromyalgia affected the patient physically, cognitively, mentally and socially. Extensive symptoms and lack of reception contributed to social isolation, which posed a threat to the patient's identity and sence of self. Some patients experienced profound shortcomings in health care. Increased knowledge of the fibromyalgia impact on the patient's life would promote the nurse's care from a person-centered and health-promoting approach.

Full textThe aim of the study was to describe how women with fibromyalgia experienced health care professionals´ response and how they wish to be responded. The study had a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were obtained from individual interviews with eight women, who were all members of a fibromyalgia association in central Sweden. Data were analyzed using manifest content analysis. The main result was that the informants experienced the health care professionals as not confirming them. This was based on the informants’ experience of not being believed or listened to. They also felt that the knowledge of fibromyalgia among health care professional was poor. The informants also described that they could trust the health care professionals but that they wished that they to a greater extent was responded that way. They described a desire that the health care professionals in greater extent should listen to them, show an understanding and give them information. The conclusion was that the confidence of health care professionals is based on being listened to and to be showed an understanding of their disease and to receive information. To be discredited and / or not being listened to and lack of knowledge among the health care professionals about fibromyalgia was perceived as not being confirmed.

Full textThe purpose of this study was to describe how women with fibromyalgia experienced their quality of life. The method used was a literature study with a descriptive design. The search for scientific articles was done by the databases Academic Search Elite, CINAHL, Medline via PubMed and Cohrane Library. The articles were quality-tested and the content studied, resulting in four categories as follows. Research involving the physical aspects of the quality of life showed that sleeplessness, tiredness and pain was commonly occurring symptoms in women’s daily life which affected their life-situation. The symptoms stopped them from planning or actively taking part in social activity. The psychological aspects of quality of life showed that women with fibromyalgia expressed a longing for the life they lived before the disease. The result of the social aspects showed that the women with fibromyalgia wished to spend a lot of time with their families and expressed how important it was. Fybromylagia also had negative effects on their relationships and divorce was not unusual. Work was highly prioritised and estimated as stimulating. The lack of specific symptoms of the disease made the women questioned by people in their environment and by health-personnel. The positive sides of the disease was found in the existential aspects. The women started to reflect about their duties in life and learned how to prioritise in a proper way.

Full textBackground: From the beginning fibromyalgia was classified as rheumatism, but now we know it is caused by central nervous system (CNS) disorder. The symptoms are diffuse but most common are constant pain and fatigue. There are no specific tests to establish the diagnose and no satisfying medication. The disease is not visible outside the body and many experiences misbelieve from care staff and relatives, which affects their wellbeing negatively. Aim: The aim of this study is to describe how patients and their family are affected by fibromyalgia. Method: A literature based study was used to identify the knowledge that already existed in the topic. Results: Fibromyalgia is an invisible disease that affects the individual and their family significantly. Because the complicity of establishing the diagnose and the fact that fibromyalgia can not be seen outside the body, these patients are often met with distrust from both doctors and acquaintances. The lack of information is apparent, which can affect the disease negatively. Four main themes emerged, The changed lift, To be misbelieved, Changed rolls and the vague knowledge. Conclusion: Nurses have an important function, to listen to and inform individuals with fibromyalgia, and their relatives. To be able to inform, a higher knowledge and understanding is necessary. To get information can be the difference between coping with the disease, or not.

Full textFibromyalgia is a chronic disease that affects and limits a woman’s daily life. There is no definite reason why the disease occurs. The common symptoms that occurs are pain, fatigue, muscle weakness and depression. The women’s experiences of living with fibromyalgia is an important basis for nursing care. In order to improve the care, more knowledge is required about the lived experiences of living with fibromyalgia. The aim of this study was to illuminate women’s lived experiences of living with fibromyalgia. The study was conducted as a literature study with a qualitative approach. The literature search was done systematically and led to fourteen qualitative articles that shaped the result. By reading the articles four categories emerged: The body as an obstacle, losing a part of yourself, lack of good response and finding the way to well-being. The result showed that women with fibromyalgia were affected by the symptoms that fibromyalgia caused and that they lost a part of themselves. The disease affected their everyday lives and relationships with other people in their surroundings. The women felt misunderstood and disbelief from the health care professionals. Despite the physical and mental obstacles that women suffered from, they could find positivity in their lives and accept that they suffered from fibromyalgia. This literature study can be used as a support for a better understanding of women’s experiences of living with fibromyalgia and result in a bigger awareness among nurses to be able to pay attention to the symptoms and signs of the disease.

Full textBakgrund: I världen lider cirka 2 procent av befolkningen av fibromyalgi och 80 procent av dessa är kvinnor. De vanligaste symtomen är långvarig smärta med fortfarande okänd orsak till varför sjukdomen uppkommer. Sjukdomen karaktäriseras av onaturlig trötthet, ömhet och kognitiva besvär som att till exempel glömska. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva upplevelsen av att leva med fibromyalgi, samt att beskriva de inkluderade artiklarnas datainsamlingsmetod. Metod: En litteraturstudie med deskriptiv design. Tretton kvalitativa artiklar inkluderades, dessa söktes genom databaserna Cinahl och Medline via PubMed. Huvudresultat: Många av personerna med fibromyalgi upplevde att smärtan och orkeslösheten från deras sjukdom förändrade i stort sett allt i deras vardagliga liv. De flesta upplevde att deras psykiska mående samt sociala liv påverkats negativt av sjukdomen. Att inte bli betrodd eller mottagen på ett bra sätt av människor de mötte samt sjukvårdspersonal beskrev personerna i flera av studierna som ett stort problem och allt för vanligt förekommande. Föreliggande litteraturstudie beskrev även vilken datainsamlingsmetod som användes. I elva av de tretton artiklarna användes intervju som datainsamlingsmetod. Av de resterande två använde sig en av ett formulär och den andra fokusgrupp diskussion. Slutsats: Beskrivningar av upplevelser att leva med fibromyalgi, har visat att den påverkar personerna på många plan i livet, både fysiskt, psykiskt och socialt. Smärtan och tröttheten hindrar dem i det dagliga livet och de upplever att de inte blir betrodda eller tagna på allvar både i vardagen, men även i mötet med hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal.

Full textBackground: Fibromyalgia (FMS) is a disease that primarily affects young women in middle age and may lead lifestyle changes due to chronic muscle pain and fatigue. Aim: The aim of this literature review was to identify coping strategies used by patients with fibromyalgia. Method: Goodman's seven steps in Willlman et al (2006) were used as a systematic approach. The databases used for literature search were PubMed, CINAHL, Medline, Cochrane Library and PsychInfo. Ten articles were reviewed independently by two reviewers with the help of protocols by Willman et al (2006) modified by the authors. In the ten scientific articles several different coping strategies used by patients with fibromyalgia was emerged. Results: Based on the studies the coping strategies that evolved were; self-care, social support, structure, positive view, negative view, religion / higher power, self-awareness and escapism. Conclusion: As a nurse it is important to pay attention to the poor strategies and motivate the patient to use the better strategies. Further studies still need to be done on patients with fibromyalgia and how this is handled.

Full textBackground: Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease that is characterized by a widespread pain. Fibromyalgia has a significant impact both socially and physically on a person’s daily life which causes an increased suffering for people with fibromyalgia. There is a stigmatization around people with fibromyalgia from the society and healthcare personnel which causes an defective refutation of people with fibromyalgia. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe how people with fibromyalgia experienced the refutation from healthcare personnel. Method: A literature study was conducted where the result included 11 scientific articles. Result: The literature result was divided into three categories: Refutation from healthcare personnel, Lack of knowledge and Lack of support. The result showed that people with fibromyalgia experienced the refutation as defective. They felt misunderstood, not believed and they felt a lack of support, understanding and a lack of knowledge from professions in healthcare. Conclusion: The study showed that people with fibromyalgia experienced the refutation with healthcare personnel as strained where they did not take them serious and did not see them as individuals. The study indicates that more research is needed to increase the knowledge about the disease fibromyalgia but also that education of healthcare personnel about refutation could be advisable so that people with fibromyalgia would not experience the refutation as strained.

Syftet med studien var att belysa fysisk aktivitets inverkan på sjukdomssymtom samt livskvalité hos patienter med fibromyalgi. Metoden var en litteraturstudie baserad på 20 vetenskapliga artiklar. Artiklarna visade liknande resultat när det gällde fysisk aktivitets inverkan på symtom samt livskvalité hos personer med fibromyalgi. Det framkom att fysisk aktivitet gav god effekt när träning utfördes med låg- till medelintensitet samt utfördes under en längre tid. Det framkom även att symtomen påverkade förmågan och viljan att delta i någon form av fysisk aktivitet. Vidare forskning inom området behövs när det gäller att utforma och individanpassa motionsprogram för fibromyalgipatienter.

Full textFibromyalgia is an illness without clear etiology, which strongly affects multiple aspects of daily living and quality of life. The illness occurs predominantly in women and affects approximately 3-6% of the world population. The most common symptoms are chronic musculoskeletal pain and fatigue. Fibromyalgia manifests itself differently in different individuals and it is important to increase understanding of how these patients experience their illness to improve their health care. The purpose of this study was to illuminate the experience of living with fibromyalgia. A literature review was made of material with a qualitative approach, 14 articles were reviewed and a content analysis was made. Five categories emerged: Becoming ill with fibromyalgia, Daily life, Health care experiences, Treatment and To manage the illness. The results showed that the illness affected a person‟s entire life, causing great changes which were seen as primarily negative. It was essential to accept these changes and to learn to cope with them. This study shows that the people living with fibromyalgia were in great need of support and understanding. With increased knowledge and understanding health care professionals have great potential to alleviate the suffering caused by fibromyalgia.

Full textBackground: Fibromyalgia is a long term pain condition that is more common among women than among men. The cause of fibromyalgia is unclear but common symptoms are long lasting pain and fatigue. The syndrome is difficult to define and requires time to diagnose and treat. The nurse has a major responsibility for the care of these patients, but believes that they have insufficient knowledge about fibromyalgia. Aim: To describe people's experience of living with fibromyalgia and to describe the methods of data collection in the included articles. Method: Literature study with a descriptive design that included ten qualitative articles who were acquired through the database Medline via PubMed. Results: People with fibromyalgia experienced that the constant pain was the main problem in their daily life since it affected their mood and social life negatively. Not being believed or taken seriously in healthcare caused people to feel frustrated. Insufficient knowledge of fibromyalgia in healthcare professionals was common and people experienced that they were often interpreted to have mental disorders. The articles in this study used interviews as data collection method, where semistructured interviews was most common. Conclusion: People’s experience of living with fibromyalgia has shown that it has a major negative impact on their physical, mental and social life. The constant pain and fatigue have negative impact on daily life and at work. People also described how they are rarely believed by healthcare professionals or society. The nurse has an important part in the treatment of people with fibromyalgia which is important for a good nursing.

Full textBakgrund: Fibromyalgi är en kronisk sjukdom med ständig värk och/eller ömhetskänsla i kroppen och onormal trötthet eller kraftlöshet. Det finns ingen behandling för sjukdomen utan endast lindring av symtom. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med fibromyalgi. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie med systematisk sökning har genomförts. De studier som framkom har analyserats med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Kvinnorna upplevde att smärta och trötthet var de symtom som medförde begränsningar, som svårigheter att utföra hushållssysslor och att inte kunna delta i familjens aktiviteter. Kvinnorna upplevde att de inte blev förstådda och trodda, innan de fått en diagnos. Diagnosen gjorde det lättare för kvinnorna att förklara sjukdomen för andra. Slutsats: Det behövs mer forskning om fibromyalgi för att mer kunskap ska spridas om sjukdomen. Ytterligare kunskap kan öka förståelsen för dem som drabbas och minska fördomarna.

Full textThis work questions the place of the feminine in the subjective experience of people suffering from fibromyalgia, a disease that mostly affects women and which chronic pain and fatigue occupy center stage. Our main hypothesis leads us to investigate the existence of a primary disorder of the feminine in people suffering from this disease. This disorder would be linked to a failure of reaching the passive way. The role model would be the first care mother, poorly differentiated, but which represents an omnipotent narcissistic ideal. In this context, the pain felt in primary passivity would leave room for a major difficulty regarding the passive position which is seen as a defense against the mother’s control. Some research intends to consider this disease as a modern expression of conversion hysteria. We challenge this hypothesis through the clinical cases that we studied. We also investigate the question of depression by following the idea that the fatigue of fibromyalgic people could be interpreted as a form of depression, non-reactive, pre-existing from the disease and characterized by a melancholic susceptibility. Then, the pain would consist in the melancholic component of the depression. Our work is based on the theoretical framework of psychoanalytical psychology and on investigation tools which are clinical research interviews and projective tests (Rorschach and TAT)

Full textBakgrund: Fibromyalgi drabbar två till tre procent av befolkningen och är ett kroniskt smärttillstånd utan känd orsak. Majoriteten av dem som drabbas är kvinnor. Sjukdomen syns inte utanpå och det finns därför en risk att drabbade blir missförstådda av människor i sin omgivning och av sjukvårdspersonal. Syfte: Att med den här litteraturstudien beskriva hur kvinnor med fibromyalgi upplever sin livssituation. Metod: En litteraturstudie baserad på elva kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Analysen av artiklarna resulterade i en huvudkategori; smärta och trötthet, och fyra underkategorier; förändrad identitet, förändringar i det sociala livet och arbetslivet, förändringar i familjelivet och upplevelser av mötet med vården. Smärta och trötthet var de symtom som påverkade kvinnorna i störst utsträckning och som gav upphov till att det blev förändringar i deras dagliga liv. Kvinnorna upplevde mötet med vården negativt. De uttryckte det viktigt att få en diagnos eftersom den gjorde att de kände att de blev trodda och att sjukdomen verkligen existerade. Slutsats: Kvinnor med fibromyalgi upplever sin livssituation som fylld av påfrestningar och att de ständigt blir missuppfattade. Sjukvårdens bemötande av dessa kvinnor tycks inte ha förbättrats under de senaste tio åren, vilket indikerar på att det behövs mer kunskap och utbildning om fibromyalgi.
Background: Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that affects two to three percent of the population, of whom the majority are women. Fibromyalgia is not visible on the outside and therefore lays a risk that the health care and people in general misunderstand women affected by it. Aim: the aim of this literature review was to describe how women with fibromyalgia experience their life situation. Method: The method used was a literature review based on eleven scientific articles. Result: The analysis of the articles resulted in one major category; pain and fatigue and four sub-categories; changed identity, changes in social life and working life, changes within the family and experiences of the health care. Pain and fatigue were the most prominent symptoms in the women’s life and made changes in their daily life. The women experienced negative attitudes from health care professionals and therefore getting a diagnosis was of great importance to them. The diagnosis made them feel that they were believed and that the illness really existed. Conclusion: Women affected by fibromyalgia experienced their life situation as a life filled with strains and misconceptions. In the last ten years there has been little improvement on the way the health care treat these women. This indicates that there is a need for increased knowledge and education about fibromyalgia among health care professionals.

Full textBackground: Fibromyalgia is a syndrome and a chronic condition which causes pain, soreness and stiffness in the musculoskeletal system. Fibromyalgia is additional characterized by sleep disorder, anxiety, depression and bowel functional problems. Aim: Describe women’s experiences of living with fibromyalgia and which coping strategies they use for handling their situation. Method: A literature review with descriptive design. Result: Women with fibromyalgia experienced an unpredictable, fluctuating and widespread pain, an ever-present fatigue, stiffness and cognitive difficulties. The cognitive difficulties found to include concentration difficulties and memory problems. Living with fibromyalgia was considered by the women as emotionally stressful. Frustration, anxiety and depression were common. Many women experienced mistrust and incomprehension from the surroundings. Fibromyalgia had a great impact on women’s social life such as work life and daily activities. To manage their fibromyalgia, the women used various physical and mental coping strategies. Conclusion: An increased knowledge from the surroundings about how it is to live with fibromyalgia could lead to increased understanding and good treatment for these women. That could generate confirmation, promote the management of fibromyalgia and decrease the suffering for these women.

Full textBackground: Fibromyalgia is a chronic illness that affects the body in several ways, and the cause remains unexplained. It emerges from physical or psychological trauma, infection or pain. Aim: The aim was to describe people’s experiences of living with fibromyalgia. Method: This study was made as a literature review with an inductive approach, based on 13 articles with qualitative design. Three categories and six subcategories evolved from analysis. Results: The experienced physical symptoms were pain in the body, fatigue and sleeping problems. The illness also affected the persons psychologically which could occur as depression, anxiety and cognitive issues. The social life was also affected since family, friends, colleagues and health care personnel often questioned the illness and did not believe in their experiences. Conclusion: Fibromyalgia affects the life in several ways, both physically, psychologically and socially. The essay provides an increased understanding and knowledge to health care personnel, especially nurses, for these patients’ situation. Further research is required to determine the cause of fibromyalgia to increase the understanding.

Full textObjectives: Fibromyalgia has long been a chronic pain condition that bases itself on the individual's subjective experience of pain. Aim: The aim was to describe how patients with fibromyalgia experience the treatment, support and attitudes by the health care personal. Methods: This study is a literature review based on thirteen articles’. Results: The result resulted in two main categories "Patients experiences of treatment" and "Knowledge and support from the medical staff". The patients experience that the health care personal has a lack of knowledge of both diagnosis and treatment. The patients also experience distrust in their doctors and experience a lack of adequate help when seeking for their painful symptoms. Patients with fibromyalgia diagnosis experience poor treatment in health care, and want a person-centered approach and more time by their doctors. Conclusions: This literature review shows that patients with fibromyalgia report that they experience poor treatment, ignorance and lack of commitment from health care. Research should focus on how services can work more person-centered for this group of patients, for example by intervention studies.

Full textBackground: Fibromyalgia is a complex condition characterized by widespread muscle pain. The pain is most localized in the back, neck, shoulders, and legs but can also occur in the joints and skeleton. In addition to the pain, the disease is also characterized by fatigue and sleep disorders. In Sweden 2-3 percent have fibromyalgia of which 80-90 percent are women. The ethology behind the disease has not been fully mapped. There are several visits for women with the disease to the health care as it is difficult to diagnose the disease and the patients go through several different treatments and examinations related to the symptoms that the disease can cause. Aim: The aim was to describe women’s experiences of living with fibromyalgia. Method: A literature review consisting of 11 scientific articles taken from the database Pubmed and Cinahl Complete. The 11 articles were read through, processed, analysed and from this several themes are formed based on results. Results: 3 main themes identified: Adapting everyday life to the disease, Lack of trust and Experiences of affected relationships. Main themes are then divided into subthemes, Women's distractions to normalize everyday life, Experiences of being mistrusted by the public, Experiences of being mistrusted by healthcare professionals and Women's experience of treatment. Conclusion: Identity, autonomy, and integrity are blunted in connection with the disease. A changed life in all aspects of everyday life affected the woman. Women experienced a mistrust, ignorance and stigma about the disease related to healthcare was common and this affected them negatively. Healthcare, which is supposed to be a tool and help the woman herself to understand her illness and promote health, among other things, cannot live up to it due to ignorance and stigma as a result.

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to explore the role of repetitive negative thoughts (RNT) in the development and maintenance of pain and negative emotions in fibromyalgia. We think that studying negative repetitive thoughts may provide us with a better understanding of the psychiatric comorbidity of fibromyalgia. For this, we relied on a model of repetitive thoughts in chronic pain.In order to test part of this model in fibromyalgia, we conducted three studies. In our first study, we wanted to replicate with fibromyalgia patients the results obtained for other non-painful clinical populations which have demonstrated the links between repetitive negative thoughts and different psychopathologies. In a second study, we questioned the indirect link between RNT and pain through attentional processes. Finally, in our third study, we were interested in the hypothesis of a causal link between repetitive thoughts and pain.We have shown that high levels of negative repetitive thinking link pain-related disability with anxiety and depression in fibromyalgia. We have also demonstrated a link between a high tendency to negative repetitive thoughts and attentional mechanisms in fibromyalgia. Finally, we have shown that repetitive negative thoughts maintain pain by prolonging its duration.These results support the interest in considering repetitive thoughts as a transdiagnostic process participating in the maintenance of Fibromyalgia and its psychiatric comorbidities. We discuss these results from a theoretical and clinical perspective

Full textFibromyalgia affects 1.4–2.2% of the general population, predominately women (more than 80% of subjects). This syndrome is characterised by chronic widespread pain, sleep disturbances, cognitive dysfunction, emotional disorders and chronic fatigue.Physiopathological mechanisms of FM are not fully elucidated but FM is considered a stress related syndrome. Studies on the stress axis in FM have demonstrated dysfunction of both the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. This stress axis deficit (ANS and HPA) could consequently induce dysregulation of pain modulation. According to this hypothesis and using two clinical trials, our main objective is to assess the efficacy of a specific training program on pain and symptoms in female fibromyalgia patients.Firstly, a 5-year observational study shows that overall care coupled with specific physical training [3 sessions of 45 minutes per week of Moderate Intensity Continuous Training (MICT) gradually associated with High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)] may lead to dramatic improvement of FM symptoms. Secondly, the initial results of a 24-month, controlled, randomised trial (RCT) confirm dysregulation of central pain modulation and a deficit of the autonomic balance, at least in a percentage of FM patients. This specific, supervised, individualised training program with exercise intensity defined to rebalance the neurovegetative system (parasympathetic tone and sympathetic reactivity), associated by peripheric effects as the improvement of muscle perfusion, may allow FM to be treated through central neuroplasticity
Kristevski, Adam A. "Neurofeedback for Fibromyalgia." Thesis, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3637158.
Full textThis study examined the effects of Neurofeedback on individuals diagnosed with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS). Neurofeedback is a non-invase form of brainwave biofeedback in which participants receive real-time visual and auditory feedback of their brainwave activity. Upon receiving this feedback, participants were reinforced via visual and auditory means for producing particular brainwave patterns which have been associated with mental concentration and bodily relaxation. The existing literature on Neurofeedback for Fibromyalgia Syndrome suggests that individuals experience lasting benefit in symptom reduction post-treatment. It was expected that participants would experience substantial improvements in their symptoms over the course of this study.
Therapeutic improvement was measured with a variety of self-report measures and neurophysiological metrics. Particpants were randomly placed into either an active treatment group or a wait-list control. The wait-list control group received active treatment after a speficied control period during which self-report and EEG data were collected. Active treatment involved approximately 30 minute Neurofeedback sessions once or twice per week depending on participant availability. Brief pre and post session measuress were obtained to track within-session improvements. In addition, a psychometric battery was administered at baseline, and weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8 to track therapeutic improvement and outcome. Participants received 8 to 16 sessions of Neurofeedback.
All participants showed improvements in subjective ratings of pain and fatigue throughout the course of treatment, decreased their FIQR scores, exhibited changes on EEG indices, and reported being satisfied with the treatment. The majority of participants experienced improvements on symptom frequency and intensity on the MFTQ, had significant pre-post session decreases in fatigue (assessed via a paired samples t-test), and had pre-post session changes on one or more EEG indices (also assessed with a paired samples t-test). VAS pain and fatigue scores and EEG indices appeared to change when participants completed their wait-list control condition and entered active treatment, which offers evidence that Neurofeedback had an additional therapeutic impact when compared to other concurrent treatments. These positive findings are consistent with the results of existing studies of Neurofeedback for Fibromyalgia, which offers additional support for utilizing neurofeedback in the treatment of individuals with Fibromyalgia. This warrants further studies of Neurofeedback as a treatment for Fibromyalgia.

Full textFibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disease in which the brain's ability to manage pain signals are considered to be disturbed. Symptoms include pain in at least 11 of 18 tender points and other pain, non-functional sleep, stiffness, fatigue, weakness in the muscles, cardiac arrhythmia, tenderness and knitting feelings in the skin. The symptoms may be related to the muscles, endocrine and immune system. FM lack of diagnostic markers that can be analyzed and used for the diagnosis of the chronic disease. The purpose of this pilot study is to study some biomarkers in saliva collected with Salivette® by female FM patients, and relate the results to the perceived pain by the patient. Patients and control group (KG) in the study (FM; n = 7, 43±12 years KG; n = 6, 42±14 years) were asked to answer questions regarding e.g. medication, pain and infections. The quantified biomarkers are free circulating mtDNA, uric acid and IgA. Total protein was analyzed for the normalization of the IgA value. Electrolyte analysis was performed to examine the plausibility of the sample. The results showed that the average values of the biomarkers is higher for FM patients than for KG. The regression between IgA and uric acid of the FM is slightly positive. There is no correlation between the ratio of IgA /total protein and uric acid of the FM. The saliva pH among FM was lower than in KG. The average of samples from day one and two of the FM in relation to the perceived pain during the last week show no significant associations related to the quantified biomarkers. For the development of this study and in this area it is required a better standardization of research methods, a larger number of participants and an increased understanding of the disease variability in patients depending on lifestyle and medical history.

Full textBackground: The cause for fibromyalgia is not known. Age, ethnicity and social status doesn´t matter. The most prominent symptoms are pain, stiffness and fatigue. The treatment for fibromyalgia is limited, it is often a combination of pain relief, physical activity and lifestyle changes. Nurses working with fibromyalgia patients have an important role in education and informing patients about their disease. Aim: The aim of this study is to describe patient with fibromyalgia and their experience of the encounter with the health care. Method: A literature review of eight scientific articles, with the focus on patients’ experience of living with fibromyalgia and the encounter with the health care. The authors chose Joyce Travelbees theoretical framework for their literature review. Result: The result shows that patient with fibromyalgia experience that health care professionals question their credibility and that they don’t take their problems seriously. Furthermore the result showed that health care professionals categorized these patients by stereotypical role perceptions, and encounters these patients by their pre-understanding about what fibromyalgia is or is no. Discussion: This study shows that health care professionals meets these patients, based of their own and others objective assessment of the situation, instead of being based on the patient´s unique perception of their situation. The authors make the interpretation based on the result and Travelbees nursing theory that health care professionals lack in their ability to know and to identify the patient´s needs.
