Abstract [sv]

Individer med kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) kämpar varje dag att undvika andfåddhet och andnöd. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att undersöka kroniskt obstruktiva lungsjuka patienters upplevelse av livskvalitet, med särskilt fokus på andfåddhet och social isolering. Metodavsnittet beskrivs genom Goodmans sju steg (1996). Resultatet presenteras i fyra huvudteman: Andfåddhet och andnöd, livskvalitet och det dagliga livet, social isolering och miljön och stigmatisering och samhället. I resultatet framkommer det att andfåddhet är det mest besvärande symtomen, vädret och miljön påverkar individernas förmåga att röra sig utomhus. Slutsats Individer med KOL är tvungna att strukturera upp sin vardag för att kunna fungera i det dagliga livet.

Abstract [en]

Individuals suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) struggle every day to avoid breathlessness and becoming out of breath. The aim with this literature review is to examine chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patient’s experiences of quality of life, focusing on breathlessness and social isolation. The method guidance is described through Goodman’s seven steps (1996). The result is presented in four themes: out of breath and breathlessness, quality of life and the daily living, social isolation and the environment, and stigma and society. The result that emerged was that breathlessness is the most troublesome symptoms and the weather and the environment affected the individual’s ability to move about outdoors. The conclusion was that individuals suffering from COPD had to organise their daily life to be able to make it through the day.
