Patient's experiences of living with liver cirrhosis : A literaturereview (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Levercirros är en sjukdom där en omfattande leverskada medfört att levern förlorat stora delar av dess egenskaper. Leversjukdomar ger symtomdebut i sent stadium vilket ger förödande och snabbt inverkande konsekvenser för de drabbade. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa patienters erfarenheter av att leva med levercirros. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie med en induktiv ansats genomfördes med nio resultatartiklar. Resultatartiklarna bearbetades och granskades vilket sedan sammanställdes till olika kategorier. Resultat: Fyra kategorier identifierades: Erfarenheter av begränsningar i vardag och arbete, erfarenheter av inverkan på nära relationer, erfarenheter av emotionell påfrestning och erfarenheter av bemötande från omgivningen. Patienter upplevde en negativ påverkan på vardags- och fritidsaktiviteter samt att en påverkan på den psykiska hälsa och nära relationer anträffades. Patienterna präglas av fördomar och dåligt bemötande från omgivningen respektive vårdpersonal. Konklusion/implikation: Bristen på personcentrerad omvårdnad relaterat till fördomar hos vårdpersonal leder till ökade vårdköer samt höjda vårdkostnader. Genom vidare forskning kan erfarenheter av att leva med levercirros spridas och bidra till att dessa personer får en mer adekvat och personcentrerad vård. 

Abstract [en]

Background: Liver cirrhosis is a disease in which extensive liver damage causes the liver to lose large parts of its properties. Liver diseases cause the onset of symptoms at a late stage, which has devastating and fast-acting consequences for those affected. Aim: The purpose was to elucidatepatients' experiences of living with liver cirrhosis. Method: The study was ageneral literature study with an inductive approach and included nine result articles. The resulting articles were processed and reviewed, which were then compiled into different categories. Results: Four categories were identified: experience of limitations of everyday life and work, experience ofthe impact on close relationships, experience of emotional stress and experience of treatment from the environment. Patients experienced a negative impact on every day and leisure activities and a negative impact on mental health and close relationships were encountered. The patients were met by preconceptions and bad treatment from the environment and care staff. Conclusion/implication: The lack of person-centered care related to preconceptions of nursing staff leads to increased care queues and care costs. Through further research, experiences of living with liver cirrhosis can be spread and contribute to these people receiving more adequate and person-centered care.
