Gustafsson, David, and Rasmus Mårtensson. "Patienters livskvalitet efter hjärttransplantation." Thesis, Mid Sweden University, Department of Health Sciences, 2009. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:miun:diva-11246.
Full textTidigare studier om hjärttransplantation har handlat om den medicinska behandlingen. Därför var syftet med den här litteraturstudien att belysa patienters uppfattning om livskvalitet efter hjärttransplantation samt deras uppfattning om omvårdnadens betydelse i samband med och efter hjärttransplantation. Metoden som användes var innehållsanalys av tio vetenskapliga artiklar av dem var sex kvantitativa, två kvalitativa och två var mixad design. Det framkom i resultatet att en stor del av patienterna blev bättre efter genomförd hjärttransplantation. Efter hjärttransplantationen var det dock vanligt att patienter drabbades av fysiska, psykiska och sociala problem t.ex. fatique, depression och reducerat socialt nätverk relaterade till hjärttransplantationen. I resultatet framkom det även att tiden hade en stor betydelse för patienterna gällande att dessa symtom upptäcktes. Desto snabbare symtomen upptäcktes av vårdpersonalen ju lättare blev de att behandla, vilket ökade patienternas livskvalitet. Resultatet visade att vårdpersonalen har stor betydelse för hjärttransplanterade patienter för att främja deras livskvalitet. Sjuksköterskan bör ge en individuellt anpassad vård och omvårdnad för att stärka hjärttransplanterade patienters livskvalitet.

Full textWithout a heart life cannot continue. Sometimes undergoing heart transplantation is the only way to survive. Can a heart transplantation be done without psychological influence and how does the receiver find the way back to life as it was before the heart disease. The aim of this literature study was to illuminate heart transplantated individual’s psychological experiences after heart transplantation. The research questions were: How does the receiver who went through heart transplantation describe the experience of having another person’s heart? How does the receiver describe ones strategy to find the way back to the life he/she had before the heart transplantation? How does the receiver describe the experience that they live because of somebody else’s death? Through systematic literature review nine scholarly articles have been chosen and critically examined according to Carlsson and Eiman (2003) then analysed and processed. Four themes were identified and are presented under findings: feelings of guilt towards the donor and his/her family, gratitude for a second chance, coping to handle feelings and returning to daily life, attitudes towards the new heart and the donor. This study shows various psychological aspects such as denial and fantasies, which nurses should consider.

Full textBackground: A person who are subject to heart transplantation is very ill and there is no other treatment available. When the heart transplantation is made lifestyle changes and life-long and continuous treatment of immunosuppressive drugs requires. A transplant is an obscure event that brings diverse emotions. Aim: To describe adults’ experiences after a heart transplantation. Method: A literature review was conducted. Results: In the result four subcategories appared: Emotion on the transplanted heart and the donor, the psychological suffering, spiritual and social support and belief in the future. Subsequently formed the main category: Life as the heart transplant. Discussion: Life after a heart transplant is a complex situation. It can be a difficulty to adapt to the donated heart. It is therefore important, but good health care relationship to support and inspire positive aspects of perceived health, this has been discussed on the basis of Antonovsky theory of Sense of Coherence. Conclusion: A good contact to invite questions about their health problems leading to security and increased knowledge.

Full textBackground: In Sweden, heart transplantation increases as a method of treatment. Patients undergoing heart transplantation require special needs of care. Nurses have to increase knowledge about experiences that these patients percieve to conform the health care in the future. In this study, health science has been used as a theoretical frame of reference which includes a patient perspective.
Aim: The aim of this study was to describe experiences among patients, elder than 18 years old, undergoing heart transplantation.
Method: The method was a qualitative descriptive study with a context analysis based on ten scientific articles and an autobiography corresponding with the aim of the study.
Results: The results of this study showed six themes about experiences that emerged among patients undergoing heart transplantation: feeling of vitality, existential crisis, importance of social support, destructive feelings, capacity of going on and the experience of quality of life.
Conclusion: It’s not a guarantee that the quality of life will increase among patients undergoing heart transplantation and they need a specialist trained nurse available to support at all hours.

Full textHeart transplantation is considered to be the most appropriate end-stage option in treating patients with severe heart failure. However, lack of organs, long waiting times and other comorbidities reduce the number of patients eligible for this treatment. In order to reduce mortality of this patient group, increasing numbers of patients with severe heart failure receive support from an inoperative cardiac pump (i.e. Left Ventricular Assist Device; LVAD) awaiting transplantation. The purpose of this study was to investigate with transthoracic echocardiography if pretreatment with LVAD may positively affect right ventricular function after cardiac transplantation and whether this effect lasts for a long time. A total of 31 patients were included in this study, where of 13 patients were pretreated with LVAD before cardiac transplantation. The majority of patients were men (n=27) with mean age of 53 ± 12 years. Data has been collected prospectively. All patient data used in this study were taken from Lund University Hospital databases. It was investigated whether right ventricular function differs in cardiac transplanted patients 1 month and 12 months after transplantation based on if patients where pretreated with LVAD and not. The parameters for evaluation of RV function were tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), right ventricular systolic tissue velocity (RVS'), right ventricular fractional area change (RVFAC) and two-dimensional RV strain with speckle tracking. Results showed statistically significant differences between the groups 1 months after transplantation for right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RVGLS) and the RV free wall strain (RVFS), both parameters p-value < 0.01. This difference were not detectable after 12 months. For the parameters TAPSE, RVS ', RVFAC, no statistically significant differences were observed between the groups at either time point.

Full textBackground: The first heart transplant performed in Sweden took place in 1984 in Gothenburg. An increasing trend has been identified over the years and Sweden is the country that performs most heart transplants in Scandinavia. It is in case of severe heart failure that the affected person can become a candidate for any heart transplant and the nurse has a key role in the care of these patients. The purpose of nursing is to improve the patient's chance of survival and quality of life. Aim: The aim was to describe the organ recipient’ experience after having a heart transplant. Method: A literature-based study where the data consisted of qualitative articles. Result: Four categories were identified; A new life situation, changed view of life, influence from others and new thoughts about the future with ten subcategories. Conclusion: The result shows that patients who have undergone a heart transplant experience a changed everyday life and belief. New insights about life and the experience of having a new chance created. This arouses a sense of gratitude and obligation towards their donor. The majority of the patients felt that the support from the health service was inadequate, both before and after the surgery and that it is the lack of information that is perceived as central.

Full textI Sverige genomgår årligen 25-30 patienter
hjärttransplantation. Denna litteraturstudie belyser patienters upplevelser efter hjärttransplantation. Studien visade att många upplevde negativa känslor såsom rädsla
och skuld. Även kontrollbrist upplevdes av dem som genomgått en hjärttransplantation och det kunde leda till depression. Fler kvinnor än män drabbades av depression och oro. Ett mönster sågs mellan de som tidigare haft problem med oro och de som drabbats efter hjärttransplantationen. Ett flertal upplevde sorg över att ha förlorat sitt eget hjärta och detta kunde även vara en
bidragande orsak till depression. Intergreringen av det nya hjärtat i kropp och själ var lätt för vissa och svårare för
andra. Socialt stöd kunde medverka till en lättare anpassning efter hjärttransplantationen. Patienter som
genomgått hjärttransplantation hade fantasier om donatorn och om att ärva karaktärsdrag genom hjärtat. Andra kände
ökad tillfredsställelse, ökad optimism och ökat välbefinnande. De var tacksamma för den nya chansen och deras värderingar kring donation förändrades. För att
sjuksköterskan skall kunna förbereda patienter på ett optimalt sätt inför en hjärttransplantation, krävs ytterligare
forskning om patientupplevelser och anpassning efter hjärttransplantation.

Full textBakgrund: Hjärttransplantationer är idag ett rutinmässigt ingrepp och överlevnaden efter en hjärttransplantation har genom tiderna förbättrats. I Sverige blev det först möjligt att genomföra en hjärttransplantation då ändringen av dödsbegreppet från hjärtdöd till hjärndöd infördes. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa patienters upplevelser av livskvalitet efter en hjärttransplantation. Metod: Metoden som användes var en litteraturstudie som omfattade 14 vetenskapliga artiklar. Vid granskningen av dessa artiklar skapades två huvudkategorier vilka var; patienters upplevelser av psykisk livskvalitet och patienters upplevelser av fysisk livskvalitet. Resultat: Resultatet visade att en hjärttransplantation kan innebära en stor omställning för patienten, både psykiskt och fysiskt. De hjärttransplanterade patienterna upplevde en relativt dålig psykisk livskvalitet då de ofta kände sig nedstämda och deprimerade en tid efter operationen. Även den fysiska livskvaliteten visade sig vara försämrad i jämförelse med övrig befolkning. Ett flertal studier visade att kvinnor hade ofta mer omfattande psykiska besvär såsom dåligt självförtroende, nedstämdhet, depression och ångest än män. En del hjärttransplanterade patienter upplevde skuldkänslor, ångest och sorg över donatorns död men även förlust av det egna hjärtat. Slutsats: Med kunskapen att hjärttransplanterade patienter upplevde sin psykiska och fysiska livskvalitet som låg kan sjuksköterskor vara ett stort stöd och förebygga detta genom adekvat rehabilitering, patientundervisning, rådgivning samt ge dessa patienter möjligheter att träffas i grupp.

Full textPatients waiting for a heart transplant has an uncertain time ahead. There is a need to explore these patients’ experiences during this time so that nurses can give optimal care. The purpose was to explore patients’ experiences during the wait for a heart transplant and the meaning of the nurses’ care during this period. The study was conducted as a literature review of 14 scientific papers that was chosen, reviewed and processed. The categories that were found in the process were about the patients’ psychological aspects, social aspects, physiological aspects, how patients coped during this time and nurses’ care. Results showed that the wait for a heart transplant was stressful, emotional and an insecure time. Coping strategies that were effective during the wait was positive thinking and religious believes. The negative ones were denial and getting emotional. Results showed that nurses had an important role in being present, support and give information during the waiting time. It´s recommended that nurses should be more available for patients because the contact gave patients feelings of security and eased the waiting time. More research about how information affects patients is needed to give good nursing care.

Full textBackground: Today, heart failure is a widespread disease and heart transplantation is the only long-term treatment. The nursing profession is about promoting health and well-being of the patient to strengthen the quality of life. Aim: To describe patients’ experiences in connection with a heart transplant. Method: In the study, a qualitive method has been used with narrative material consisting of autobiographies. The study is written from a patient perspective to present patients’ experiences. Results: The result shows that patients experience, in connection with heart transplantation, a change in everyday life, uncertainty, disappointment and guilt, but then again, they also prove to be grateful to have survived the operation and their relatives’ support. Lack of support from nurses describes creating a feeling of insecurity and quality of life varied in the context of heart transplantation. Conclusion: Heart failure changes the patient’s whole life and undergoing a heart transplant is a major strain physically and mentally. The nurse must be strong in the nursing profession to support the patient to alleviate health and well-being.

Full textPrognosen för överlevnad efter en hjärttransplantation har successivt förbättras, under år 2008 genomgick 44 personer i Sverige operationen. Då hjärtat kan ses som beviset för liv och centrum för våra känslor kan en hjärttransplantation ha en dramatisk inverkan på patienters dagliga liv och hälsa. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa upplevelsen i samband med en hjärttransplantation och hur patienter hanterade sin situation. Metoden som användes var litteraturstudie där 16 artiklar inkluderades, publicerade mellan år 1998 och 2008. Data analyserades utifrån en innehållsanalytisk metod. Resultatet visade att patienter som levde med en svår hjärtsjukdom upplevde maktlöshet, begränsningar och behov av stöd. Att hantera sin livssituation i samband med en hjärttransplantation innebar användning av olika copingstrategier. Transplantationen gav patienterna nya möjligheter och en känsla av tillfredställelse med livet, vilket hjälpte dem att blicka framåt. I diskussionen framkom att det liv som en hjärttransplantation erbjöd övervägde de motgångar och hinder som upplevdes i samband med ett nytt hjärta. Konklusionen var att genom vidare studier om patienters upplevelser i samband med en hjärttransplantation kan ny kunskap erhållas och omvårdnadsarbetet utvecklas ytterligare.

Full textBackground: The number of performed heart transplants in Sweden is increasing and is now about fifty transplants per year. The primary reason for a heart transplant is severe heart failure. To suffer from heart failure as young is rare and trying. If heart transplantation becomes necessary the patient is placed on a waiting list where the median waiting time is three months. Previous research shows that nurses have an important role in the patient's experience during this time. Aim: The study aims to analyze and describe the experiences of young women facing a heart transplant. Method: Qualitative content analysis is used as analytical method. Data consists of five blogs published on the Internet. Results: Young women waiting for a heart transplant experience physical limitations in daily life. Relatives, professionals and the environment are important to provide support and act as motivation in the situation. The uncertain waiting is incused by anxiety and fear of their own death. The waiting means that young women will have a new outlook on life. Conclusion: The lifeworld of young women drastically changed awaiting heart transplantation and it´s important for the nurse to recognize this change and frame the care thereafter.

Full textBackground: Heart transplant has today become an established procedure offered to patients suffering from severe heart failure. The patients are in need of medical care for a long period of time after the heart transplant has been carried out. Moreover, it is the duty of the nurse to be able to respond to the patients in daily nursing care. Aim: The aim was to describe adult patients’ experiences after a hearttransplantation. Method: To carry out the study, a general literature study was used. The result was based on ten scientific articles from three healthcare databases which were reviewed and analyzed. Result: Three main categories and six subcategories emerged from the result; The patients’ experienced feelings with the following subcategories; Fear that the new heart would stop beating, The experience of not being worthy of the new heart and Thoughts and feelings about the donor and the donor's family. The main category; Experience of new identity and the main category: The presence of support with the following subcategories; Support from the healthcare, Support from relatives and friends and finally Support from other hearttransplanted. Conclusion: The experiences of living with a transplanted heart varied between patients and included both mental and physical components. The Patients’ experience of living in uncertainty about their health created difficulties with fear and anxiety and the patients showed a great need for support. To achieve the best person-centered care possible, the nurse needs to be familiar with the patient’s experiences to acquire an understanding so as to be able to give an appropriate nursing care.

Full textWhen a patient has fulfilled all the requierment for a hearttransplantation they are placed on a waiting list. The waiting period can be from days up to months or even years. This time is associated with anxiety for the patient. The aim of this systematic literature review is to gather literature concerning the patients experience and the different factors that affect the patients during the waiting period before a heart transplantation. The method that has been used is an evidence based method and Goodman’s seven steps were also used. This literature review is based on eleven scientific articles that have been quality rated using Carlsson and Eimans (2003) ratingscale. As a theoretic frame of reference Carnevali (1999) has been used. The result showed following categories; stressors, coping, depression, social support, quality of life and functional ability. It also showed that these factors affect each other. The three most common stress factors during the waiting period were; requiring a heart transplant, having a terminal illness and worrying family members. The most used coping strategy was positive thinking. The result also shows cultural differences concerning the affects of the different factors.

Full textBakgrund: Ett liv med svår kronisk hjärtsvikt är invalidiserande och de flesta patienter dör i sin sjukdom. Möjligheten att få ett hjärta från avliden donator är ofta patientens enda hopp om fortsatt liv. Syfte: Att få en djupare inblick och förståelse i patienters upplevelser efter en hjärttransplantation. Metod: Litteraturstudie med ett resultat baserat på 13 vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Tacksamhet var den stora gemensamma upplevelsen för mottagare av ett nytt hjärta. Patienterna kände tacksamhet mot donatorn och dennes familj. Många riktade sin tacksamhet mot Gud som de ansåg hade gett dem en ny chans till liv. Tacksamheten riktades också till sjukvårdpersonal, utan deras stöd och kunskap hade transplantationen inte kunnat genomföras. Mottagaren av det nya hjärtat hade också skuldkänslor för att deras egen överlevnad baserades på någon annans död. Diskussion: Vi fann att tacksamhet var en naturlig upplevelse efter en hjärttransplantation eftersom patienterna fått en ny chans till liv. Resultatet kring Gud kan ha påverkats av att artiklarna är från USA och Brasilien där Gud kan ha större betydelse för vissa individer. Vi tror att det är viktigt att som sjukvårdspersonal vara medveten om och förstå vad de transplanterade har gått igenom.

Full textFor individuals who have undergone a heart transplant, radical improvement ofhealth is seen. Their life of terminal illness is changed into a relatively active and normal life. In spite of this positive change, it also means a life with continuingphysical and psychological challenges. The purpose of this literature study was todescribe individuals’ experiences of living with someone else´s heart afterundergoing transplantation. The starting point was three research questions; whichfeelings and attitudes towards the donor and the donor´s surviving relatives couldarise? How could the adaptation and relationship to the heart appear and to whatextent do the recipients feel that their personality could change? The literatureresearch was carried out according to the seven steps of Goodman´s design. Thearticles (n=9), which matched the aim, were carefully reviewed and analyzed fromthe three research questions. During the course of the study it was established thatthe area is insufficient investigated. For the nurse to be able to meet these patientscorrectly, further research concerning experiences and adaptation among hearttransplant recipients is required.

Full textNext of kins are often close to patients in heart- or lung transplantation. In connection with transplantation next of kins experience strain and has a need for knowledge. Like patients next of kins are vulnerable and it is important to explore next of kins’ experiences, this to better prepare for the burden of transplantation. The aim of the study was to explore the experience of being a next of kin in connection with heart- or lung transplantation. The study was conducted as a general literature study and the analysis was guided by a hermeneutic method. The results show that next of kin’s support for the patient is an act of love resulting in sacrificed relationships with friends and changes in their daily lives. The transplantation generated waiting and a lot of feelings for next of kins, such as joy when the call came about transplant, and later on after the transplantation worries that the patient’s condition would worsen again. Furthermore, next of kins experienced lack of availability from the health care services regarding information, attention and support in their role. In the literature the nursing process regarding next of kins’ experiences in heart- or lung transplantation is inadequately described, therefore it is of importance that future research creates new evidence based knowledge.

Full textBackground: Heart transplantation has been performed since the 1960s and is today the last treatment option for severe and non-treatable heart failure. After a heart transplant, a lifelong medication is followed which reduces the risk of rejection. Patients need regular check-ups and visits to control drug dosing and to prevent side effects. The nurse has a central role in the care of heart transplant patients. It is important that the nurse has knowledge of how these patients experience their life after the heart transplant, in order to provide support and adequate person-centered care. The nurse's responsibility is to also inform the patients and their relatives about heart transplants. Aim: The aim was to describe patients experience of living with a transplanted heart. Method: The literature review was based on ten scientific articles. The articles have been analyzed and thematized with color coding. The databases CINAHL Complete and PubMed were used to search for the articles. Only qualitative articles were used in the results. Results: The result was presented in four themes. These four themes were Life after a heart transplant meant altered physical abilities, Life with a new heart meant mixed emotions, Life after heart transplant was affected by the donor and A life with a new heart meant a need for support. The result showed that patients' everyday lives had been affected both physically and mentally in conjunction with the heart transplant. The patients expressed this with different conflicting feelings, both positive and negative. The need of support from the family, care team and faith were of great importance in patients' adaptation to the new life situation. The better the support, the more the patients' quality of life increased. Discussion: The discussion is divided into two parts. The method discussion contains the strengths and weaknesses of the authors' implementation of the literature review. In the results discussion, the authors chose to discuss the onset of mental illness in patients following a heart transplant and the importance of good information and communication in health care. It concludes with the nurse's importance of knowing the difference between health care in Sweden and in other countries.

Full textBackground: Heart transplants have been performed since 1967. Today it’s primarily patients with severe heart failure who are considered for the procedure. After the transplant a lifelong immunosuppressive medication for the patients follows, and they need regular check-ups to lower the risk of rejection of the heart. The nurse’s responsibility was for example to give the patients’ and their families’ information about the procedure. Aim: The aim was to describe patients’ experiences of living with a transplanted heart. Method: A descriptive content analysis was used to analyze seven blogs. Results: The first period following the transplant was experienced as difficult. The patients created new relevant goals with help of nurse, family and friends in order to adjust to the new life and lifelong medication. The patients’ experienced how they got a new perspective of life. Because of the gratitude of survival, the patients chose to spread knowledge about organ donation further. Conclusion: The heart transplant meant a big adjustment for the patients, to a new life. Feelings like anxiety, resignation and gratitude were now a part of their life. Support from family, friends and nurse was appreciated by the patients in order to get back to a life without a non-functioning heart.
