Abstract [sv]

Perifer vaskulär insufficiens innebär arteriell och/eller venös cirkulationssvikt i nedre extremiteter, vilket kan förorsaka bensår. Vaskulär insufficiens i benen är ett ökande hälsoproblem som ofta är ett mycket smärtsamt tillstånd och kan ha stora konsekvenser för den drabbade i dennes dagliga liv. Litteraturöversikt valdes som metod för att besvara syftet; att beskriva forskning om patienters upplevelser av hur perifer vaskulär insufficiens i de nedre extremiteterna påverkar det dagliga livet. Detta utifrån Carnevalis omvårdnadsteori om dagligt liv funktionellt hälsotillstånd. Stora inskränkningar i dagligt liv på grund av sjukdomen identifierades i litteraturen. Smärtan spelade en central roll i flertalet begränsningar respondenterna mötte. Den sänkte deras mobilitet, vilket medförde social isolering och begränsningar i vardagliga aktiviteter och förändrad självbild. Smärtan orsakade även sömnrubbningar och förändrade sinnesstämningar. Flera respondenter upplevde rädslor, de med arteriell insufficiens för amputation och för tidig död, och de med venös insufficiens för situationer som kunde medföra nya sår. Ett annat återkommande fynd var brist på kunskap, smärtlindring och brister i relationen med vårdpersonal.

Abstract [en]

Peripheral vascular insufficiency entails arterial and / or venous circulatory failure in the lower extremities, which can cause ulcers. Vascular insufficiency in the legs is an increasing health problem which often is a very painful condition and can have a major impact on the patient's daily life. Literature review was chosen as a method to answer the study aim; to describe research on patients' experiences of peripheral vascular insufficiency in the lower limbs and how it affects everyday life. This according to Carnevali’s theory on daily life functional health status. Major limitations in daily life because of the disease were identified in the literature. The pain was a central part of the restrictions all respondents met. It lowered mobility, leading to social isolation, limitations in activities in daily life and change in self-image. The pain also caused sleep disorders and altered moods. Several respondents experienced fears, those with arterial insufficiency of amputation and premature death, and those with venous insufficiency of situations that could cause new ulcers. Another frequent finding was a lack of knowledge, pain relief and trustful relationships with health professionals.
