Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Prevalens av fetma ökar i världen. Fetma har både fysisk och mental påverkan på individen och förknippas med samsjukdomar såsom diabetes, hjärtoch kärlsjukdomar, depression och dåligt självförtroende. Livskvalitet påverkas av fetma. Syfte: Att sammanställa studier som har undersökt samband mellan fetma och livskvalitet. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie baserad på artiklar med kvantitativ ansats. Tre databaser användes till litteratursökningen; PubMed, CINAHL och PsycInfo. Efter kvalitetsgranskning sammanställdes resultat utifrån de fyra mest förekommande mätinstrumenten för livskvalitet; IWQOL-Lite, EQ-5D, HADS samt SF-36/SF-12. Resultat: Personer med fetma upplever sämre livskvalitet, särskilt inom den fysiska komponenten av HRQOL. Inget uppenbart samband mellan den mentala komponenten och fetma kunde påvisas. Prevalens av ångest och depression bland personer med fetma observerades. Konklusion: Det är viktigt för sjuksköterskan att vara uppmärksam på hur personer med fetma upplever livskvalitet för att kunna rikta sina omvårdnadsåtgärder.

Abstract [en]

Background: Obesity is increasing on a global scale. Obesity has both physical and mental consequences for the individual and is associated with co-morbidities such as diabetes, coronary diseases, depression, and low self-esteem. Quality of life is affected by obesity. Aim: To compile studies that have examined how obese people experience quality of life. Method: A systematic review based on quantitative studies. Three databases were used for the literature search; PubMed, CINAHL and PsycInfo. After quality control, results were compiled based on the four most common questionnaires/surveys; IWQOL-Lite, EQ-5D, HADS and SF-36/SF-12. Results: Obese people experience impaired quality of life, especially in the physical component of HRQOL. No obvious relation between the mental component and obesity was found. Prevalence of anxiety and depression was observed in obese people. Conclusion: It is important for nurses to be aware of how obese people experience quality of life, so they can tailor their nursing actions.
