Living with ulcerative colitis : A lifelong challenge (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Ulcerös kolit är en kronisk sjukdom som orsakar inflammation i tjockoch ändtarm och karakteriseras av att gå i skov. Botemedel finns ännu inte och symtom är något många upplever trots medicinsk behandling. Syfte: Att belysa hur det är att leva med ulcerös kolit. Metod: Tidigare vetenskaplig forskning har samlats in via vårdvetenskapliga databaser och en induktiv ansats har använts. Artiklar granskades och tio stycken valdes ut. Innehållsanalys utfördes genom att meningsbärande enheter kodades med hjälp av kategorier. Resultat: Fyra teman bildades: Oro och rädsla på grund av ovisshet, Oförmåga att delta i fritids- och arbetsaktiviteter, Påverkan på livskvalité och livsstil samt Påfrestningar och utmaningar för barn med ulcerös kolit. Resultatet visade att både vuxna och barn kunde känna sig både psykiskt och fysiskt nedsatta och led av bland annat oro och rädsla. Konklusion: Det behövs mer kommunikation, information och stöd från vården för att minska oron bland patienter med ulcerös kolit.

Abstract [en]

Background: Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease that causes inflammation of the colon and rectum and is characterized by relapses. There is no cure yet and symptoms are something many people experience despite medical treatment. Aim: To shed light on what it is like to live with ulcerative colitis. Method: Previous scientific research has been collected via caring science databases and an inductive approach has been used. Articles were reviewed and ten were selected. Content analysis was performed by coding meaningful units using categories. Results: Four themes were formed: Anxiety and fear due to uncertainty, Inability to participate in leisure and work activities, Impact on quality of life and lifestyle and Stress and challenges for children with ulcerative colitis. The results showed that both adults and children could feel both mentally and physically impaired and suffered from, among other things, anxiety and fear. Conclusion: More communication, information and support from healthcare is needed to reduce the anxiety among patients with ulcerative colitis.
