Abstract [sv]

Inflammatoriska tarmsjukdomar (IBD) kan leda till ett brett spektrum av symtom och påverka många områden i de drabbades liv. Många får diagnosen i sin ekonomiskt och socialt mest produktiva ålder. Syftet med studien var att belysa unga människors upplevelser av att leva med IBD. Metoden som användes var en litteraturstudie där sju vetenskapliga artiklar ingick. Artiklarna baserades på kvalitativa studier och materialet var inhämtat genom intervjuer. Vi fann att de ungas upp-levelser kunde relateras till sex huvudsakliga områden nämligen behandling, framtid, mognad, måltider, relationer och symtom. Hur svår sjukdomsupplevelsen var för de unga berodde på om de vid tillfället var i en stabil eller i en instabil fas i sjukdomen. De upplevde att det i båda fallen krävdes mer ansträngning och efter-tanke av dem än av deras friska jämnåriga. Motsatsen till att vara sjuk uttrycktes ofta ”att vara normal”. Flera unga gav förslag på förbättringar riktade till vården till exempel att i god tid förbereda överflyttning från barn- till vuxenvård.

Abstract [en]

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) can lead to a broad spectrum of symptoms and influence many aspects of the affected person’s life. Many get diagnosed during their most economically and socially productive age. The aim of this study was to display how young people experience living with IBD. The method used was a literary review which included seven scientific articles. The articles were based upon qualitative studies and the material was obtained through interviews. We found that the experiences of the young people could be related to six main themes namely future, maturity, meals, relations, symptoms and treatment. How difficult the experience of the disease were depended on if they at the time were in a stable or instable phase of the disease. In both cases they experienced that it demanded more effort and reflection of them than of their healthy peers. The opposite of being sick was often expressed ”to be normal”. Several young people made suggestions of improvements aimed at health services for example that in good time prepare the transition from pediatric to adult care.
