To be a woman with a stoma and the sexual health : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Enligt WHO är sexuell hälsa grundläggande för individens hälsa och välbefinnande. Det är av vikt att sjuksköterskan upprätthåller en personcentrerad vård i samband med omvårdnaden som berör kvinnor med stomi. Syfte: Att belysa den upplevda sexuella hälsan hos kvinnor som lever med stomi. Metod: I litteraturstudien användes en induktiv ansats. Åtta artiklar var kvalitativa och en var kvantitativ, dessa analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys. Resultat: Tre huvudkategorier identifierades under analysen. Den första huvudkategorin gav en underkategori och den tredje huvudkategorin gav en underkategori. Kvinnor som levde med stomi upplevde en försämrad sexuell hälsa. Detta orsakades av en förändrad kroppsbild, relation till stomin och självkänsla. Kvinnor som levde i relationer upplevde en bättre sexuell hälsa än kvinnor som var singlar, eftersom stöd av partnern sågs som en nyckelkomponent för acceptans av den förändrade kroppen. Konklusion: Kvinnor upplevde att den sexuella hälsan förändrades efter att de genomgått en stomioperation, vilket påverkade deras självkänsla. Litteraturstudien kan bidra till en ökad förståelse för kvinnors sexuella hälsa vid stomi.

Abstract [en]

Background: According to WHO sexual health is a fundamental element to individual health and well-being. It is important that the nurse maintains a personcentered care in conjunction with the care of women living with a stoma. Purpose:To illustrate the perceived sexual health of women living with a stoma. Method: An inductive approach was used in this literature study, where eight articles with qualitative and one with quantitative method were used and analyzed through content analysis. Results: Three main categories were identified during the analysis. The first main category gave one subcategory and the third main category gave one subcategory. Women living with a stoma experienced an impaired sexual health. This due to a changed body image, the relationship to the stoma and self-esteem. Women in relationships experienced a better sexual health than women who were singles, due to support from a partner being seen as a key component for acceptance of the changed body. Conclusion: Women experienced that their sexual health changed due to the stoma surgery, which influenced their self-esteem. This literature study could contribute to a deeper understanding in the sexual health of women living with a stoma.
