Patients' experiences in self- management of type 2 diabetes : barriers and facilitators (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Diabetes typ 2 är en kronisk folksjukdom världen över. Egenvård är en essentiell del av behandlingen vid diabetes typ 2, om den missköts riskerar patienten att drabbas av allvarliga komplikationer. Sjuksköterskan har ett ansvar att säkerställa att patienten har rätt kompetens för att uppnå en god och långsiktig följsamhet vid egenvård. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa patienters upplevelser av hinder och möjligheter till egenvård vid diabetes typ 2. Metod: Studien var en allmän litteraturstudie med induktiv ansats. Resultat: Fyra kategorier identifierades: kunskapens betydelse för egenvård, levnadsvanors påverkan på egenvård, social, kulturell och ekonomisk påverkan på egenvård samt motivationens betydelse för egenvård. Konklusion/implikation: Patienter upplever både hinder och möjligheter till egenvård vid diabetes typ 2. Kunskapsbrist, svårigheter att ändra etablerade levnadsvanor, dyr hälsosam mat, dyra sjukvårdsbesök och dyra diabetesläkemedel är hinder till egenvård. Familjens påverkan på egenvård kan vara både hindrande och främjande. Individuellt anpassad patientutbildning rekommenderas för att rusta patienter med den kunskap som krävs vid egenvård av diabetes typ 2. Utökad forskning gällande vuxna patienters upplevelse av egenvård inom Skandinavien rekommenderas.

Abstract [en]

Background: Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic public health disease worldwide. Self-management is an essential part of treatment. Patients with poor adherence to self-management are at risk of developing serious complications. Nurses have a responsibility to ensure that patients have proper competence to achieve good and long-term adherence to self-management. Aim: This study aimed to illustrate patients' experiences of barriers and facilitators to self-management in type 2 diabetes. Method: This study was a general literature review with an inductive approach. Results: Four categories were identified: the importance of knowledge for self-management, the influence of lifestyle on self-management, social, cultural and economic influence on self-management as well as the importance of motivation for self-management. Conclusion/Implication: There are both barriers and facilitators for patients with type 2 diabetes to engaging in self-management. Lack of knowledge, difficulties in changing established lifestyles as well as high cost of healthy food, healthcare visits and diabetes medications serve as barriers to self-management. Family influence on self-management can be both inhibiting and facilitating. Individually tailored patient education is recommended to equip patients with the knowledge required for self-management of type 2 diabetes. More research regarding adult patients’ experience of self-management within Scandinavia is recommended.
