Abstract [sv]

Testikelcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos svenska män i åldrarna 25-40. Trots risk för metastaser överlever mer än 95%. Fysiska och psykosociala bieffekter försvårar dessa mäns livssituation efter diagnosen. Syftet med denna studie var att belysa copingstratgier hos män med testikelcancer. En litteraturstudie grundad på kvalitativa och kvantitativa studier genomfördes. Resultatet mynnade ut i två huvudteman och fem underteman. Huvudteman var: upprätthålla ett normalt liv och förhålla sig till omgivningen. Underteman var: blicka framåt och eftersträva normalitet, dölja förändrad anatomi, söka omgivningens stöd, förvärva och dela med sig av kunskap samt isolera sig.
