Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: KOL är en allvarlig sjukdom som successivt kan leda till döden. Den största riskfaktorn är rökning, men även annat kan orsaka KOL t.ex. inandning av skadliga ämnen. År 2015 dog 3,17 miljoner av KOL. Studier visar att vården av KOL-patienter idag främst handlar om prevention och rehabilitering. Sällan tas patienternas upplevelser och erfarenheter i akt. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka upplevelser och erfarenheter av KOL-patienter och hur det påverkar deras dagliga liv. Metod: En litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats som baserades på 11 vetenskapliga artiklar. Litteratursökningen genomfördes i databaserna PubMed och CINAHL. Utvalda artiklar granskades utifrån SBU:s mall för kvalitetsgranskning. Metasyntes av icke strukturerad karaktär användes som metod för att analysera data. Resultat: Utifrån data som samlats in går det att urskilja att andningen är den centrala faktorn som påverkar patienternas dagliga liv. Andfåddheten för med sig andra konsekvenser. Sex teman identifierades: “Sjukdomsinsikt och förnekelse”, “Acceptans och hanteringsstrategier”, “Vård som en del av vardagen”, “Psykiskt lidande”, “Begränsningar och påverkan på det sociala livet och familjelivet” och “Hopp om framtiden”. Konklusion: Patienternas behov varierar mycket. Detta betyder att vården behöver vara enad och samarbeta för att bedriva en personcentrerad vård. Sjuksköterskans roll och bemötande är viktigt för det patientnära omvårdnadsarbetet och i rollen som kontaktperson för KOL-patienter.

Abstract [en]

Background: COPD is a grave illness which potentially leads to an early death. The greatest determinant is smoking, but there are other factors that can lead to COPD. Inhaling hazardous materials would be one example. In 2015, 3,17 million people worldwide died due to COPD. Studies show that the medical care for COPD-patients today is primarily focused on prevention and rehabilitation. Concern for the patient's own experiences are rare. Aim: The aim of this literature review was to examine the experiences of COPD-patients and the effects on their daily lives from the illness. Method: A literature review with a qualitative approach, based on 11 scientific articles. The databases used for the article searching were PubMed and CINAHL. Chosen articles were quality controlled by SBU’s model for quality reviewing. A non-structured meta synthesis was used for analysing data. Result: The data presented by the included articles all showed how the patients breathing ability is the central factor in their lived experiences. Breathlessness brought consequences. Six themes emerged: “Illness and Denial”, “Acceptance and Coping Strategies”, “Health Care as a part of Everyday Life”, “Mental Suffering” and “Hope for the Future”. Conclusion: The patients' health care needs varied considerably. This gives reason for the health care unit to be united in the work for person centered care. The nurse’s role and response to patients are important for the close to patient care and profession role as contact person for COPD patients.
