Patients’ experiences of living with Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome : A literature review (English)
Abstract [en]

Background: COVID-19 is a disease caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. The disease was classified as a pandemic by World Health Organization in March 2020. COVID-19 can cause Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome, which is long-term symptoms after the infection itself. Post-COVID can affect health in the long term. Purpose/aim: The aim of this study was to illustrate the patients ́ experiences of living with Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome. Method: The method used was a general literature study. Eight articles were used for the study. Results: The result identified the four categories. Experiences of symptoms, experiences of changes in physical health, experiences of changes in social life and experiences of health care. Many patients experienced that they did not have the same energy to do things they had previously been able to do and needed help from close relatives. Conclusion: Due to both Post-COVID and COVID-19 being new diseases, patients experienced a lack of knowledge in the healthcare systems. Patients felt invisible and forgotten as healthcare professionals did not know how to address or care for them. Therefore, there’s a need for further research and increased knowledge regarding the subject in order to improve the quality of healthcare.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: COVID-19 är en sjukdom som orsakas av viruset SARS-CoV- 2. Sjukdomen klassades som en pandemi av World Health Organization i mars 2020. COVID-19 kan orsaka Post-COVID, vilket utgörs av långvariga symtom efter infektionen är utläkt. Post-COVID kan påverka hälsan på lång sikt. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa patienters upplevelser av att leva med Post- COVID. Metod: Metoden som användes var allmän litteraturstudie. Litteraturstudien baserades på åtta resultatartiklar som analyserades. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i fyra olika kategorier: Upplevelser av symtom, upplevelser av förändringar i den psykiska hälsan, upplevelser av förändringar i sociala relationer, samt upplevelser av mötet med vården. I resultatet framkom att vissa patienter orkade inte längre genomföra dagliga sysslor och fick ta hjälp från närstående. Konklusion: Till följd av att både Post-COVID och COVID-19 är nya sjukdomar upplevde patienterna brist på kunskap inom vården. Patienterna kände sig osynliga och bortglömda då vårdpersonal inte visste hur de skulle bemöta eller vårda dem. Det finns därför ett behov av vidare forskning och ökad kunskap kring ämnet för att öka vårdkvaliteten.
