Being a parent of a child with myopia (English)
Abstract [sv]

Förekomsten av myopi hos barn har ökat samtidigt som föräldrar inte anser att myopi är en hälsorisk för deras barn. Syftet med studien var att beskriva föräldrars upplevelser av att leva med ett barn med myopi. Studien utarbetades som en systematisk litteraturstudie med induktiv ansats och innehåller åtta vetenskapliga resultatartiklar, tre kvalitativa och fem kvantitativa artiklar. Resultatet visade att barnens myopi påverkade föräldrarna mentalt samt var en ekonomisk börda. Orsaken till myopi ansågs delvis genetisk, men också relaterad till tidig skärmanvändning eller långvarig läsning. Flera föräldrar hade bristande kunskaper om myopi. Myopibehandling med glasögon, linser eller Atropin- ögondroppar upplevdes både positivt och negativt av föräldrar. Litteraturstudiens resultat kan ge kunskap till omvårdnadsprofessioner inom ögonsjukvården om föräldrarnas upplevelser. Okorrigerad myopi påverkar samhället ekonomiskt såväl som folkhälsan negativt och att förhindra uppkomsten av myopi lyfts som ett värdefullt mål. Ytterligare forskning behövs inom området och de kunskaper som finns behöver lyftas för att kunna bidra till bättre vård för denna patientgrupp.

Abstract [en]

The occurrence of myopia in children has increased while parents do not consider myopia to be a health risk for their children. The purpose of this study was to describe parents´ experiences of living with a child with myopia. The study was conducted as a systematic literature study with an inductive approach and resulted in eight scientific result articles, three qualitative and five quantitative articles. The result shows that the children's myopia affected the parents mentally and was a financial burden. The cause of myopia was considered as partly genetic but also related to early screen use or prolonged reading. Several parents had a lack of knowledge about myopia. Myopia treatment with glasses, lenses, or atropine eye drops was experienced both positively and negatively by the parents. The result of the literature study can provide knowledge to nurse professionals in eye care about the parents' experiences. Uncorrected myopia affects society economically as well as public health negatively and preventing the onset of myopia is raised as a valuable goal. Further research is needed in the area and the existing knowledge needs to be highlighted in order to contribute to better care for this patient group.
