Patients’ Experiences of Testicular Cancer : A qualitative literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Testikelcancer är en ovanlig sjukdom där incidensen är högst mellan åldrarna 15 - 35. Sjukdomen upptäcks via en ensidig knöl eller svullnad i testikeln. Behandlingen omfattar orkidektomi, aktiv övervakning, strålning och kemoterapi. Behandlingen har utvecklats dramatiskt vilket har lett till ökad överlevnad. Sjuksköterskans spelar en avgörande roll i hela vårdförloppet. I sitt arbete är det av vikt att sjuksköterskan kan ge god omvårdnad anpassad till varje enskild patient. Personcentrerad omvårdnad underlättar sjuksköterskans beslut om omvårdnadsåtgärder som möter patientens behov. Ett holistiskt tankesätt stärker den personcentrerade omvårdnaden där patientens behov uppmärksammas. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa patienters upplevelser av testikelcancer. Metod: Litteraturstudien genomfördes med kvalitativ ansats. Elva artiklar inkluderades från Cinahl och Pubmed. Artiklar valdes ut till analysen. Resultat: Resultatet belyser fyra kategorier: diagnosfasen, konsekvenser av behandling, stödets betydelse och roller, betydelsen av information Konklusion: Litteraturstudien belyser olika upplevelser av testikelcancer. Det finns skilda upplevelser i kategorierna vilket styrker vikten av personcentrerad omvårdnad. Den grundutbildade sjuksköterska kan förbättra att arbeta personcentrerat och holistiskt för att bättre bemöta patienternas omvårdnadsbehov.

Abstract [en]

Background: Testicular cancer is a rare disease and the incidence is highest between the ages of 15 - 35. The disease is detected via a unilateral lump or swelling in the testicle. Treatment includes orchidectomy, active surveillance, radiation and chemotherapy. Treatment has developed dramatically, which has led to increased survival. The nurse plays a crucial role in the entire care process. In a nurses work it is of importance that you can provide good care adapted to each individual patient. Personcentered care strengthens the nurse's decisions about nursing interventions that meet the patient's needs. A holistic mindset strengthens personcentered care where the patient's needs are recognised. Aim: The aim of the literature study was to illuminate patients experiences of testicular cancer. Methods: The literature study was conducted with a qualitative approach. Eleven articles have been included from Cinahl and Pubmed. Articles were selected for the analysis. Results: The result highlights four categories: the diagnostic phase, consequences of treatment, the importance of support and roles, the importance of information Conclusion: The literature study highlights different experiences of testicular cancer. There are different experiences in the categories, which confirms the importance of personcentered care. Nurses can improve working personcentered and holistically to better meet the patients' needs.
