Full textIn Sweden around 7000 women are affected by breast cancer every year which is the most common cancer among women. Breast cancer influence women both in short- and long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL). HRQoL describes the influence health has on functional ability and the experience of physical-, psychological- and social wellbeing. The aim was to examine how women with breast cancer value their health-related quality of life. This literature review was based on a deductive approach. A literature review was made with articles from databases with focus on nursing care. The result is based on 18 scientific articles, nine qualitative and nine quantitative studies. HRQoL is negatively affected among women with breast cancer and influences physical-, psychological- and social wellbeing. The women rate physical function as decreased which affects physical HRQoL negatively. They experience isolation, depression, anxiety, loss of control and fear during treatments. Women rate significantly lower social HRQoL than the rest of the population when they must abstain from daily activities. If the women are going to achieve satisfying HRQoL the nurses need to have knowledge about which factors that may influence HRQoL in breast cancer. Using person-centred nursing is also important in order to achieve satisfying care and HRQoL. Understanding of the women´s HRQoL is significant for guidance and support during the disease.

Full textThrough the years, kidney transplants have improved into the best and most cost-effective treatment for people with kidney failure (Prihodova, et al., 2014a). Research has shown that the need of kidney transplant is increasing by 7% per year (Heaphya, et al., 2013). In January 2016, 646 Swedish people needed a kidney (Livsviktigt, 2016). The purpose of the literature review was to examine how people ≥18 years value their quality of life after a completed kidney transplantation in comparison to kidney failure people and the general population. Literature review has been carried out on the basis of a quantitative method with deductive approach. The result included ten scientific articles, which were sought out from the databases CINAHL, Medline and PsycInfo. The inclusion criteria was that they should be quantitative, peer reviewed, published after 2005 and include people older than 18years who received a kidney transplantation. The results were analyzed by Fribergs three steps analysis model (2012a) and showed that age seem to affect quality of life of renal transplant recipients. Quality of life increases after a kidney transplantation in comparison to kidney failure patients, but is worse than the general population. The compilation of the literature review may obtain a better overview of nursing after kidney transplantation.

Full textDiabetes mellitus type 2 is a chronic disease increasing in Sweden as well as worldwide. To be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes means a difficult experience and it is often associated with complications, leading to the perception of decreased quality of life. The purpose of this literature review was to describe how type 2 diabetes patients experience their quality of life. The question was which factors that affect the healthrelated quality of life in both positive and negative ways. Search for scientific articles in the databases PubMed, Cinahl and Medline resulted in a total of twelve scientific articles on the subject that answered the study's purpose and question. The results showed that social support, self care, diabetes complications, psychological factors and socio-economic factors affected patients' quality of life in different ways. Nurses need to increase their knowledge about factors that affect quality of life and increase understanding of patients. Through patient education and information, support, patient involvement in self care and encouragement to follow-up self care behaviours can the nurse contribute to a successful disease treatment and the patient maintain or increase their quality of life.

Full textBakgrund Förekomsten av övervikt och fetma hos ungdomar i världen är stor, nästan 25 % i vissa minoriteter och är ofta associerat med depressiva symtom. Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att beskriva hur överviktiga och feta ungdomar mår. Metod För att finna relevant litteratur till uppsatsen gjordes sökningar i databaserna Cinahl och Pubmed (Medline). För att få en så bred bild som möjligt av detta globala problem som övervikt och fetma hos ungdomar är valdes studier från många delar av världen ut. Innehållsanalys gjordes och fyra teman framträdde. Dessa teman var: påverkan på dagligt liv, livskvalitet och upplevd hälsa, psykisk ohälsa samt självförtroende och självbild. Resultat Många ungdomar som är överviktiga eller feta lider av detta. Att bli mobbad och förlöjligad tillhör för många vardagen likaså dåligt självförtroende och att vara missnöjd med sin kropp och sitt utseende. Vissa överväger till och med att ta sitt liv. Diskussion Resultatet visade på mycket negativa konsekvenser av att vara överviktig eller fet i tonåren. Slutsats Uppsatsen har gett svar på hur ungdomar påverkas av att vara överviktiga och feta inom många områden. Självmord inom denna grupp tros vara ett stort mörkertal.

Full textBackground: Diabetes is a global illness that affects a great number of people worldwide. The disease is chronic and can develop into serious complications such as amputaion. The nurses need understanding of how an amputation affects the patients’ experience of health and quality of life. Aim: The aim in this study was to illustrate patients’ experience and quality of life when living with a diabetes-related amputated extremity. Method: A literature review was made where the results are based on 13 scientific articles. These were taken from the databases CINAHL Complete and PubMed. Results: The results described patients’ experience of an amputation. The patients’ feelings of dealing with a lost extremity and how this new situation was accepted was described. Patients’ experience of quality of life was illustrated and was improved or impaired compared to before the amputation. The need for support from health services and relatives were illustrated for the patients’ view on quality of life and health to be positive, despite the amputation. Conclusion: Amputation leads to a great physical and psychological impact on the patients’ experience of their disease and quality of life. Depending on the patients’ view of their ability and compared to the experience of foot ulcers leading up to amputation, the procedure can lead to reduced or increased experienced quality of life. The patients’ own abilities and resources control the planning, implementation and evaluation of self-care.

Full textBackground: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. They are chronic and occur in relapses when the mucosal becomes inflamed and ulcerated, causing complex symptoms such as acute diarrhoea, rectal bleeding and abdominal pain. The treatment aims to reduce symptoms and prevent the occurrence of relapses. As these diseases affect the daily life it also affects the individual health-related quality of life, which measures the physical, psychological and social aspects of a health problem. Aim: The purpose was to describe the experience of health-related quality of life in people with inflammatory bowel disease. Method: A literature review has been done where twelve original articles have formed the basis of the results, this creates an overview of existing research. They have been read, summarized and analysed where the similarities and differences were found and themes were formed. Results: The four main themes of the result is Physical function, Psychological function, Social function and Rebuilding their quality of life. It emerged in the results that physical symptoms and disease activity are those which essentially controls the psychological well-being as well as social constraints. This was shown in studies to have a negative impact on the health-related quality of life. But overtime the disease became a normal part of one's life and gave a better quality of life experience. Discussions: The method approach, benefits and weaknesses will be discussed and analysed. When discussing the results of the current study mainly knowledge, education, and time perspective will be addressed and analysed with Orem’s self-care theory.

Full textMain title: People with Parkinson's disease and their assessment of their health-related quality of life. Subtitle: A literature review Background: PD is a neurological and progressive disease, with motor and non-motor symptoms. Research shows that people with PD are often worried about how the disease will affect their QoL and they tend to estimate their HRQoL poorer than other parts of the population. The HRQoL is described as the meaning of how health affects the QoL and is important to take into account in nursing work. Aim: To describe people with Parkinson's disease and their assessment of their health-related quality of life. Method: A literature review consisting twelve scientific articles with quantitative approaches was analyzed according to Friberg's three-dimensional model. Articles where the HRQoL is measured with PDQ-39SI was included. Results: Several different factors were negatively related to the HRQoL such as longer illness, an early disease outcome and a high degree of symptoms. Some treatments had a positive effect on the HRQoL such as treatment with levodopa infusion, drug therapy compliance, physical activity and deep brain stimulation. Conclusion: This literature review has contributed with knowledge of how different factors affect the HRQoL in PD. Knowledge can help nurses to respond to this patient group, as several factors have a negative impact on the HRQoL.

Full textBakgrund: Patienter inom dialysvård fick lite information om påverkan på sexualitet och samliv som en komplikation av njurarnas bristande funktion. Sexualitet och samliv påverkade individen och dennes livslust i stor utsträckning. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa dialyspatienters sexuella dysfunktion (SD), prevalens, symtom, orsak och bidragande faktorer. Vi ville belysa SD:s påverkan på det psykiska måendet samt i vilken mån patienter sökte och fick behandling. Metod: Vi använde oss av kvantitativa artiklar från Pubmeds databas. Artiklarna kvalitets-bedömdes, bearbetades utifrån syfte och frågeställningar som sedan sammanställdes i resultatet. Urval ur aktuell litteratur gjordes med inriktning mot njursjukvård i syfte att hitta basfakta om hur njursjukdomar yttrade sig i kroppen. Resultat: Prevalensen var hög hos dialyspatienter av SD och sänkt psykiskt mående. Diskussion: Det fanns bevis på att få dialyspatienter med SD delgav sina problem för sin läkare. Medicinsk personal prioriterade inte SD och ansåg att det var på patientens eget ansvar att ta upp. Det saknades rutiner för att tidigt upptäcka SD och genom det kunna höja patientens livskvalitet och förebygga psykiska problem. Slutsats: Om patienten fick adekvat information och kunskap om sin SD så kunde behandling sättas in, patientens livskvalitet höjas och depressiva symtom förhindras.

Full textDuring the exercise of his/her profession the general nurse encounters many patients with DMT1 (diabetes mellitus type 1). According to Carnevali (1999), knowledge of the individual´s resources and requirements of daily life leads to a more individualized care. A better understanding of the quality of life at DMT1 and the factors which affect it can lead to an improved encounter in the health care system. The aim of this literature review was to describe the factors that can affect quality of life in different areas in individuals with diabetes mellitus type 1. The method used was a model for literature based theses by Friberg et al (2006). In the search of literature the databases PubMed and Cinahl where used. Articles were examined after models by Polit et al (2006) and Willman et al (2006) and quality was assessed according to criteria from SBU (1999). A total of nine quantitative articles were used as a basis for the results. The results showed that long-term complications were a factor with a strong negative impact on the quality of life of individuals with DMT1. Other factors that may affect the quality of life at DMT1 adversely were injecting insulin and the occurrence of GI symptoms. Group-education, a good relationship and treatment with insulin pump had a positive impact on the quality of life of individuals with DMT1.

Full textBackground: Endometriosis is a chronic disease which causes episodes of inflammation in women’s genital- and reproductive organs. The most common symptoms in women with endometriosis are abdominal pain, pelvic pain and pain during intercourse. The debute of symptoms vary, but several studies claim that symptoms often occur during adolescence. Hormone treatment is often used in women with endometriosis and in other cases surgical treatment is indicated. Today, knowledge about endometriosis is neglected and there are incorrect conclusions about the cause of the disease. Aim: To describe women's experiences of quality of life in correlation to endometriosis. Methods: The study was conducted as a literature review, the result is based on 16 scientific articles. Results: Women with endometriosis had reduced quality of life in different contexts, thereafter subcategories were identified that described in which context women had reduced quality of life in. Subcategories identified were: Relationships – Partnerships and Family, Social Isolation, Fertility, Age-related impact, Everyday life, Gaps of knowledge in health care, Transmission of information and Delay of diagnosis. The reason for the reduced quality of life and what permeated the subcategories was mainly pain of different types. Conclusion: Much speaks for that women with endometriosis have a lower quality of life compared to women who do not suffer from the disease. The reduced quality of life can often be linked to a lack of knowledge about the illness for health care professionals or that as a health care professional, you are not aware of the symptoms of these women which, in the long run, lead to a reduced quality of life.

Full textIntroduction: The Mediterranean diet has shown positive results in increased health outcomes. The diet is used, among other things, to reduce the risk of mortality, depression and chronic illnesses. Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of Mediterranean food on the quality of life in a population of adults 19+. Method: A systematic literature study was conducted and twelve studied were selected and analyzed using thematic analysis. The article search was done through databases Pubmed. No common themes were found when comparing studies other than study design, which was therefore chosen as the main theme for the present analyses. Consequently, the above-mentioned studies were divided into three groups: cohort studies, cross-sectional studies and intervention studies. Results: Results from the content analyses showed that no specific study type generated a different result. All study types appeared to show that the Mediterranean diet was associated with higher quality of life. Although a statistically-significant association was found in most studies independently of study design, three studies found no significant association between high Mediterranean diet and higher quality of life. However, two of these articles found a weak association to higher quality of life. Furthermore, all articles, regardless of results, found that a higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with stronger score on the dimension of vitality of quality of life, when using the questionnaire Health Survey. Conclusion: High adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with higher quality of life in the age group 18+. The dimension of vitality (included in the definition of quality of life) was identified as the dimension with the strongest association with adherence to a Mediterranean-like diet.

Full textFolkhälsoarbete riktat mot äldre har ökat i intresse framför allt genom att medellivslängden har stigit. En god funktionsnivå är viktig för hälsan och välbefinnandet. Sjukdomar får en mildare framtoning om vi är bra fysiskt rustade. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa vilken inverkan fysisk aktivitet har på äldres (> 65 år) fysiska och psykiska hälsa och välbefinnande. Studien baserades på tio vetenskapliga artiklar, funna i referensdatabasen PubMed med hjälp av vedertagna söktermer. Texterna analyserades med manifest innehållsanalys och resulterade i tre kategorier och sju underkategorier. Resultatet visade att fysiskt aktiva äldre allmänt fick en förbättrad hälsa och ett gott välbefinnande. Fysisk aktivitet förbättrade också muskelstyrkan och lindrade smärta. Motivationen var en faktor för i vilken omfattning äldre var fysiskt aktiva. Den mentala hälsan påverkades så att de äldre kände sig positivare och mer tillfreds med livet. I sjuksköterskans ansvar ingår att identifiera behov, bedöma insatser, upplysa, stimulera, motivera, undervisa och följa upp omvårdnadsbehov. En slutsats från denna litteraturstudie är genom att uppmuntra de äldre till fysisk aktivitet kan göra att de längre upp i åldrarna upplever en god hälsa, livskvalitet och välbefinnande.

Full textBackground: People with life-threatening illness may be treated in palliative care. The purpose of palliative care is to prevent and alleviate suffering and symptoms through early detection, careful analysis and treatment of problems in multiprofessional teams. The nurse is a part of this team and is present at all stages of these patients' care. The distress in patients with incurable cancer is largely determined by the incidence and intensity of the symptoms, and therefore, knowledge of symptom prevalence and symptom control of constipation is important in clinical practice. Aim: To highlight the prevalence and experience of symptom control of constipation in persons with advanced cancer disease in palliative phase. Method: A general literature review to create an overview of the current state of knowledge in the field. Searches were performed in the databases PubMed (Medline) and Cinahl 2017-02-24 and 2017-10-04 to check if new articles were added. Four groups of keywords in the form of Mesh terms and Cinahl headings including synonyms were used: Constipation, Quality of Life, Neoplasms / Cancer and Palliative / Advanced Cancer. Twelve scientific articles were included, ten quantitative, one qualitative and one with mixed method. Result: Constipation is a common symptom in people with cancer, but the incidence and symptoms of constipation varied depending on the definition used. Many patients with cancer suffer from moderate to severe constipation and the incidence increased with the disease phase. The effects of constipation in people with cancer were shown in health-related quality of life measurements, which reflected the great burden of disease. Quality of life decreased significantly with impaired disease phase and patients who perceived their symptoms of constipation as more serious had a poorer quality of life. Psychological distress from constipation included various types of negative affect and cognitions as well as effect on the decision to use opioid analgesics, either by lowering the dose or relinquishing treatment. Many patients lack knowledge of the cause and treatment of constipation. Conclusion: Constipation is a common symptom among people with cancer, but incidence and symptoms vary depending on the definition used. The studies show that there are a variety of risks and factors that can be related to constipation and it is one of several symptoms that affect health-related quality of life and disease burden in people with cancer. The patient needs information and support when constipated as it strongly affects perceived health and suffering.

Full textBackground: Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) affects the quality of life in people with dementia and their caregivers in a negative way. BPSD also causes problems in the daily care of the patient and stands for a big part of the costs for the person who has dementia. The symptoms of BPSD is commonly treated pharmaceutically due to a lack of knowledge about non pharmacological interventions. Aim: Describe the effects of nonpharmacological interventions on BPSD. Method: A literature review over articles with a quantitative approach was used. Results: Ten different interventions were studied. These interventions did not have a general effect on BPSD, but only on a few symptoms. Music therapy was the intervention with the widest effect, with a decrease in several symptoms. Conclusion: There is a need for more research on the effects of nonpharmacological interventions on BPSD, to increase the knowledge and use of these interventions in the care of people with dementia. The knowledge about BPSD and its causes needs to be improved among nurses and other personal, to decrease the presence of these symptoms and increase the quality of life.

Full textBackground: For older people who no longer live at home, the option is usually to move into a retirement home. Moving away from home at such age often means a great readjustment in life. Both the physical and psychosocial environment at the retirement home can be of great matter to behaviour and quality of life. This literature review aims to find the factors that influence behavioural aspects and quality of life of the elderly person. Aim: To compile research-based knowledge about the relationship between the physical environment and the elderly's behavior in retirement homes, focusing on how it affects quality of life. Method: Literature review with results obtained from the databases PubMed and Cinahl Results: The result shows that factors in the physical environment are of great importance to the behavior and quality of life of the elderly. Some of the factors that emerged were: the importance of a homelike physical environment, a plan solution that promotes mobility, orientation and security as well as access to outdoor environments. Conclusion: Construction of retirement homes should be conducted to promote mobilization, orientation and quality of life for the elderly. To address the wishes and needs of the elderly means using a person-centered approach with the patient's involvement and self-determination in focus. This can lead to increased quality of life.

Full textBackground: Cardiovascular disease is one of the biggest global health problems and affects both the patient's perception of life and quality of life. There are several measures the patient can take to influence and improve his or her life situation, both to prevent and when illness has occurred. Lifestyle plays a crucial role in health, methods for motivating lifestyle changes are therefore important for the nursing. Motivational interviewing (MI) can help patients understand the effect on lifestyle and with this make lifestyle changes that improves health. Aim: Examine the effect of motivational interviewing in nursing with a focus on lifestyle change and quality of life associated with cardiovascular disease. Method: A systematic review, including ten randomised controlled trials. Findings: From the analyzed data, the following six main themes emerged: Increased physical activity, weight loss, reduced smoking, increased self-care, experience quality of life and the time of treatment. These subjects showed that MI can be an effective way to succeed in lifestyle changes and increase self-care and quality of life. Conclusion: From the analyzed data material, the following six main themes emerged: Increased physical activity, weight loss, reduced smoking, increased self-care, perceived quality of life and the importance of treatment time. These themes showed that MI can be an effective method for successfully implementing lifestyle changes and increasing self-care responsibility and quality of life.

Full textBackground Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic disease where uterus cells are located outside of the uterus and has a wide range of symptoms that vary from person to person. Globally, one in ten women are afflicted by the disease. Infertility and different types of pain are two of the most prominent symptoms. Psychological difficulties are often another consequence of living with the disease. The time it takes to get diagnosed varies and there is still no existing cure. The multidimensional term “quality of life” may contain both physiological as well as psychological health. Part of the responsibility that comes with being a nurse is to relieve suffering, contribute to improved quality of life and increase well-being among patients. Aim The aim of this study was to highlight experiences, perceptions and quality of life among people with endometriosis. Method This non-systematic literature review was based on 18 scientific articles written between 2011 and 2020. The chosen articles were both qualitative and quantitative studies and were collected using combined keywords in the databases PubMed and CINAHL. A quality review was made according to Sophiahemmet University’s assessment basis for scientific classification. An integrated analysis was made when compiling the results. Results The result was presented in three main categories with associated sub-categories to get an overview of how the disease affects different aspects of these peoples’ lives. The three main categories were: psychological and physical well-being, healthcare encounters and consequences of the daily life. Conclusions The results showed that endometriosis had a negative impact on the quality of life. Psychological illness and a lack of self-esteem were identified to a large extent. The experiences varied, but a pervasive problem was pain and diagnostic delay. The way these people were treated when meeting healthcare staff played a significant role. Social life, workability and sexual health were limited to varying degrees. Overall, all of the variables mentioned affected the quality of life of people with endometriosis. The treatment by nurses played a significant role in meeting these patients and could determine how their quality of life were affected.

Full textIntroduction: Women-related diseases are underrepresented in research. Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Syndrome (PMDS) are two of them. Premenstrual disorders cause consequences for affected individuals and society at large and are a hidden public health problem. In 2021, 75 percent of all women of childbearing age suffer from some degree of PMS and PMDS affects 3-5 percent. Manifestations of PMS and PMDS are mental, physical and emotional. There are a large percentage of unreported cases who experience PMS and PMDS, however, these women may choose not to seek care, due to the fear of not being taken seriously. Thus, many womenare undiagnosedand experience many difficulties, which affects theirachieving a good quality of life. Method: The method was to compile ten scientific articles for a literature study. Results: The results shed light on the symptoms and problems that women experience during PMS and PMDS. The results also show that society and healthcare professionals do not take PMS and PMDS seriously. Other aspects that emerge are that women do not receive the support they want due to lack of knowledge in society. Conclusion: Women lack understanding and help for reproductive problems from both society, healthcare professionals and partners. One factor that affects most negatively is stress. Society has preconceived notions about PMS and PMDS that do not correspond to reality. More knowledge and research are necessary to be able to give these women the right resources for a good quality of life.

Full textBackground: Healthy kidneys are a requirement for the body's other organs to function well. Renal failure causes renal function to deteriorate and there are two conditions, acute and chronic. The chronic condition develops slowly over a long time, and in a late stage, some form of continuous dialysis treatment is required to purify the blood. One alternative is hemodialysis treatment performed in a dialysis unit several times a week a requires a lot of time from the patient's everyday life, which may affect well-being in various aspects. Well-being and quality of life are described as subjective experiences, and from the humanistic perspective it can be influenced on physical, mental and spiritual levels. With the help and support of healthcare professionals, it is still possible for patients to experience well-being and quality of life despite chronic illness. Aim: To describe how well-being is affected among patients during chronic renal failure and hemodialysis treatment. Method: A literature review based on 13 scientific articles from two databases. The articles were reviewed and analyzed by Friberg’s method to find similarities and differences that later compiled in five themes. Results: After the analysis, five themes were identified that describes how well-being is affected by a life with chronic renal failure and hemodialysis treatment: limitations in the everyday life, dependence on humans and machines, the impact of symptoms, emotional impact and also acceptance and coping. Discussion: The method discussion is based on the strenghts and weaknesses of the literature review. The results were discussed in relation to Rosemarie Rizzo Parse’s Humanbecoming theory and the three principles meaning, rhythmicity and transcendence.

Full textABSTRACT Background Urinary catheterization is a common treatment in health care and there are several reasons why catheter is indicated. It is often due to urinary retention and residual urine volume after urination. Urinary catheterization can cause complications, such as urinary tract infections and leakage, which can cause suffering. The nurse's task is to relieve suffering through, among other things, person-centered and safe care. Understanding how catheterization can affect the individuals who are in need of it, and it is therefore important for the nurses’ professional practice. Aim The aim of this study was to describe patients experiences related to urinary catheterization and living with urinary catheter. Method A non-systematic literature review was conducted and based on 16 scientific articles, with both qualitative and quantitative design. Included articles were searched in the databases PubMed and CINAHL using appropriate keywords. With the Sophiahemmet university's quality framework the articles were quality examined and then the content was analyzed to be grouped into three general categories; 'A daily life with a urinary catheter', 'quality of life' and 'the patient's relationship to health care'. Results The general categories are divided into seven subcategories where patients' experiences related to catheterization of the urinary tract are described. Complications such as urinary tract infection, urinary leakage and pressure ulcers; the deficient conduct and approach of nurses; difficulties in everyday life; Lack of information and influence on sexual activity are aspects that can affect the experience according to patients. Conclusions This literature review describes how various factors affect the experience of catheterization and living with urinary catheters, and what the different methods of catheterization have for the impact on the experience. Factors such as complications with pain, urinary leakage and urinary tract infections; altered self-image and affected sexual activity; lack of information and response from caregivers as well as estimated quality of life had significance for the patient’s experience and possible suffering. With these experiences, health care can identify inadequate handling with persons and medical devices, and initiate improvement work with the aim of strengthening the patients’ perceived quality of life related to urinary catheterization.

Full textIn Sweden about 1000 children are born every year with congenital heart defects. These congenital heart defects vary in complexity and cause different symptoms depending on the type of heart defect. Many of the children are able to live normal lives, while others have symptoms and feel that the heart defect is limiting in their daily life. Since adolescence and early adulthood are vulnerable phases in life during which young people seek to establish identity and to achieve independence it is important to know how these heart defects affect adolescents and the young adults to be able to help them experience a positive life world. The aim was to describe the experience of adolescents and young adults living with a congenital heart defect. A literature review was performed and 16 articles were obtained from 2007 and forward, from the databases PubMed and CINAHL. The results showed that adolescents and young adults had different experiences of their congenital heart defects. Some of them had accepted their disease and experienced no impact on daily life or quality of life. Others experienced difficulties in accepting their disease and in integrating it into their daily life and felt that the heart defect limited them. Quality of life was negatively affected in various ways for some of the adolescents. Many of them experienced anxiety and uncertainty for the future. The adolescents and young adults were also affected by the people in their environment and the health care. They felt that their parents either supported or overprotected them and described the effect of their friends on them as either positive or negative, depending on how those friends responded to the adolescents and young adults and their limits. A strong sense of coherence, social support, less symptoms from the heart defect and a higher self rated physical status gave a more positive experience of the life-world. From the result the conclusion is made; that living with a congenital heart defect affects daily life in different ways. Health professionals who meet these patients need knowledge about which factors predispose patients to experiencing a good life world and knowledge about factors that contributes to a good quality of life for persons with congenital heart defects and they need to be able to give them necessary tools to achieve the same.

Full textBackground: The reason why a person may need a new kidney is that the person suffers from some form of chronic renal failure. Patients who currently have a need for kidney transplantation the patient usually have to wait between one to three years to get at a new kidney. Aim: The aim of the study is to compile research on the individual´s experiences in connection with renal donation. Method: A literature review based on 14 scientific articles with both quantitative and qualitative approach found in the databases CINAHL and PubMed. Result: Presentation of the eight categories of experiences before and after renal donation. These were: experiences of ambivalence and the need for support for decision making, need for information prior to decision to donate, to make a decision on donation, to see your relatives suffering, anxiety and stress before surgery, pain, individual experiences after donation and dissatisfaction with the follow-up. Conclusion: Donation seems to be an act that donor´s leads to a sense of happiness and proudly to help a close relative.

Full textMore than a third of the Swedish population is suffering from chronic non-malignant pain which also constitutes the main reason for sickness leave in the country. The condition often causes extensive physical, psychological and social strains and constitutes a barrier to cope with daily activities. Research has shown that opioid therapy is more effective in relieving chronic non-malignant pain than alternative analgesic and placebo. Although the method of treatment is widely accepted for chronic cancer pain there is still disagreement regarding chronic non-malignant pain. One of the primary goals of health care is to manage disability and suffering. In addition to symptom reduction, it is important to consider how the health-related quality of life is affected by a particular therapy. An individual's physical, mental and social health is a resource to achieve increased quality of life. The purpose of the current literature review was to identify the health impacts of chronic opioid therapy in individuals with chronic non-malignant pain. The electronic databases PubMed and Psych Info were used to identify quantitative studies that answered the purpose. After assessment of inclusion criteria and quality of studies, the material was analyzed and categorized. A natural classification of the results followed a pluralistic health theory that encompasses two dimensions: ability and disability as well as well-being and suffering. The results showed a dominant positive effect of opioids with general improvements of the health parameters that affect abilities in daily life and well-being. In a pluralistic health perspective an improvement in ability and well-being leads to an increase of the health status. In summary, an opioid treatment also provides greater opportunity for improved quality of life, considering health is a tool to achieve the goal.

Full textBackground: Previous research’s shows that there is a lack of knowledge about the implementation and recommendation of complementary alternative medicine (CAM), which includes yoga. At the same time research shows that patients want alternative treatment methods in addition to traditional medical treatment. Aim: Patients’ experience of the effect of yoga as a nursing measure in primary care. Method: A literature review where the result is based on fifteen scientific articles from six different countries from the databases Cinahl, PubMed and PsycINFO. After analysis, results from the articles were divided into three themes and six subthemes. Results: Patient’s experience of the effect of yoga is that yoga can increase quality of life, reduce stress, increase awareness and increased acceptance of the body. Yoga proves to be a tool for patients to deal with negative thoughts and reduce or prevent anxiety. The result shows that patients’ experience of yoga is that there are challenges in maintaining yoga practice and finding time for yoga in everyday life among competing priorities. In summary the literature review results shows that yoga has at least one psychologically good effect, regardless of what they examined. Conclusion: The result shows good effect on psychological and physiological symptoms and yoga could be an effective nursing measure in primary care where self-care and health promotion are in focus.

Full textBackground: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic inflammatory bowel diseases that have increased significantly in recent decades. The diseases can debut at all ages, and they have a negative effect on the patients´ quality of life. A nurse has an important part of ensuring that patients receive sufficient information and support to manage their self-care. Aim: The purpose was to illuminate how patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis experienced the effects of the symptoms in their daily lives and how they adapted to the disease. Method: A literature review based on eleven nursing studies with qualitative design was conducted. The studies were analyzed based on the chosen purpose and key findings were compiled under two main themes. Results: The literature review illustrated how the participants experienced the symptoms of the disease and what impact they had on everyday life. The impact on family life, relationships, social contexts and working life were described. In summary, the disease was an obstacle. The emotional impact of the disease and how the participants perceived that they suffered from an invisible disease were described. Finally, what attitudes the participants had towards life, what strategies were used to manage the disease, and that acceptance of the disease was important for learning to handle it. Discussion: The findings have been discussed based on Callista Roys adaptation model and linked to other scientific studies. Life with a chronic disease involves constant changes, and the nurse can help the patient to achieve balance by identifying factors that affect the adaptation.

Full textBackground: Having problems with nutrition can lead to heavy weight loss and can be frightening by the family. If offered parenteral nutrition as a form of nutritional treatment, it is often welcomed by patients and relatives. In homecare, healthcare staff, relatives and the patient need to cooperate in order to ensure that the healthcare becomes optimal and the family's response can be decisive for the patient's compliance. Nurses’ responsibility for the patient's care is great, which can be experienced as challenging, burdensome and at the same time satisfactorily with the opportunity to extend patient's lives and improve quality of life. However, nurses’ lack of knowledge of the patient's experience, can create insecurity in both of them and lead to that patients need for nursing is not satisfied. Aim: To describe patients' experiences of living with home parenteral nutrition. Method: General literature review were used. Three quantitative and eight qualitative articles have been analyzed and one article using mixed method. Results: Five themes were discovered in the result: Ability to manage an altered life situation, the need of support and education, to have quality of life, to be able to eat and to be limited. Conclusion: Receiving home parenteral nutrition changes the patients. Patients describe that the quality of life improves while the care entails limitations. Access to healthcare support is described as inadequate. By exploring the patient's experience based on the patient perspective a more optimal care can be designed.
