Lidenmark, I & Mäenranta, A. Patienters upplevelser av lungcancer - En littera¬turstudie. Examensarbete i omvårdnad 10 poäng. Malmö Högskola: Hälsa och samhälle, utbildningsområde omvårdnad, 2007. Lungcancer är ett hälsoproblem över hela världen. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att utifrån ett patientperspektiv belysa patienters erfarenheter och upplevelser av att leva med lungcancer. Litteraturstudie med metodologiskutgångspunkt i Goodmans sju steg. Databaserna PubMed och CI¬NAHL användes vid litte¬ratursökningen. Granskning av studierna utfördes av två oberoende granskare. Ett modifierat granskningsprotokoll och en kvalitets¬bedöm¬ningsmall användes i be¬dömning av studiernas kvalitet. Litteraturstudien baseras på 11 vetenskapliga stu¬dier. Resultat redovisas under fyra temata utifrån syfte; fy¬siska- och psykiska obehag, upplevelser och påverkan av be¬handling, hanter¬ing av livssituationen och stigma. Obehag som upplevdes var andfåddhet, andnöd, trött¬het, hosta, smärta, oro, ovisshet, hopplöshet, panikkänslor och ångest. Vanliga sym¬tom i samband med behandling var illamående, kräkningar, minskad aptit, mins¬kad vikt, trötthet, smärta, oro och depression. För att hantera livssitua¬tionen an¬vände patienter med lungcancer sig av en kombinerad problem- och känslofo¬kuserad co¬pingstrategi. Vänner och familj upplevdes vara viktiga. Patientgruppen upplevde sig stigmatiserade på grund av att sjukdomen är starkt förknippad med rökning. Nyckelord: behandling, coping, lungcancer, obehag, patienter, stigma och sym¬tom.
