Experiences of Living with Lung Cancer : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: För att kunna erbjuda patienter en god och personcentrerad vård krävs det kunskap om patientens liv och sjukdom. Patienter med lungcancer är en särskilt utsatt grupp som dras med stigmatiseringen kring lungcancer som en självförvållad sjukdom utöver att fem års överlevnadsprognosen är relativt låg. Det finns gemensamma aspekter för patienter med lungcancer hur de upplever att leva med lungcancer vilket kan skapa en bättre bild och bakgrundsinformation för sjuksköterskor som utför omvårdnadsinsatser för denna patientgrupp. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att belysa upplevelser som patienter med lungcancer erfar. Metod: Litteraturstudien bygger på tio kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar som ligger till grund för studiens resultat. Databaserna Cihnal och Pubmed användes för sökandet. Artiklarnas kvalitet granskades enligt SBU:s granskningsmall för kvalitativ forskning. Data analyserades sedan genom fem steg med hjälp av Friberg (2017). Resultat: Utifrån analysen kunde 4 huvudteman identifieras samt tillhörande 13 subteman. Huvudteman som identifierades var upplevelse av anpassning till nya förutsättningar i vardagen, upplevelse av att behöva förändra levnadsätt, upplevelse av att söka information, upplevelse av en känslomässig berg- och dalbana. Konklusion: Patienter med lungcancer har varierande upplevelser. Sjukdomen påverkar deras fysiska och psykiska hälsa negativt. Patienterna upplever glädje med anhöriga. Patienterna upplever ett informationsbehov som ibland förbises.

Abstract [en]

Background: To be able to offer patients a good and person centered care it takes knowledge about the patient’s life and illness. Patients with lung cancer is a particularly exposed group that carries the stigma surrounding lung cancer as a self-inflicted illness on top of having a relatively low five-year survival rate. There are commonalities in patients with lung cancer experiences of living with the disease which may create a clearer picture and background knowledge for nurses in their nursing effort for these patients. Aim: The aim of this study is to illuminate patients’ experiences of living with lung cancer.Method: This literature review is built upon ten qualitative scientific articles which lay the foundation of the literature review’s results. The databases Cihnal and PubMed was used in the search. The articles were reviewed with SBU’s review assessment method concerning quality. The data was then analyzed by creating an index of passages which in turn created an overall picture. Result: From the analysis there were 4 main themes identified as well as 13 pertaining subthemes. The main themes identified were experience of adaptation to new conditions in everyday life, experience of having to change way of life, experience of searching for information, experience of an emotional rollercoaster. Conclusion: Lung cancer patients have varying experiences. The illness affects their physical and mental health negatively. Lung cancer patients experience joy with their family. Lung cancer patients experience a need for information which is overlooked sometimes.
