The patient's perceived quality of life in dysphagia : A literature study based on the patient's perspective (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Dysfagi innebär svårigheter att svälja och orsakerna till att drabbas varierar. Vardagen kan förändras drastiskt och måltiderna innefattar ofta stora utmaningar. Även spontaniteten i vardagen kan påverkas och planering inför sociala aktiviteter mer omfattande. Skam kan påverka den sociala samvaron och föranleda självisolering. Med dysfagin kommer ökade risker vid måltider som att sätta i halsen vilket i värsta fall kan leda till döden. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa hur vuxna patienter som lever med dysfagi upplever sin livskvalité. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en allmän litteraturstudie, vilken baserades på tio resultatartiklar som bearbetades. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i två huvudkategorier: Dysfagin upptar hela mitt liv och Interaktion är avgörande för min livskvalité och fyra underkategorier: Dysfagin kräver all min uppmärksamhet, Känslor kring situationer i vardagen med dysfagi, Copingstrategier bidrar till hopp om framtiden samt Mina behov av stöd från vård och omsorg. Konklusion: Upplevelser som påverkade livskvaliteten hos patienterna var bland annat förändrade kostvanor och den självupplevda sociala samvaron. Goda relationer och tydlig kommunikation visade sig också ge goda förutsättningar för att förbättra livskvaliteten.

Abstract [en]

Background: Dysphagia means swallowing difficulties and the causes of the problem vary. Everyday life can change drastically, and meals often involve major challenges. Even spontaneity in everyday life can be affected and planning for social activities more extensive. Shame can affect social interaction and lead to self-isolation. With dysphagia comes increased risks during meals such as choking, which in the worst case can lead to death. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to describe how adult patients living with dysphagia experience their quality of life. Method: The study was conducted as a general literature study, which was based on ten result articles that were processed and analyzed. Results: The results generated in two main categories: Dysphagia occupies my whole life and Interaction is crucial for my quality of life and four subcategories: Dysphagia requires all my attention, Feelings about situations in everyday life with dysphagia, Coping strategies contributes hope for the future and My needs for support from care and welfare. Conclusion: Experiences that affected the quality of life included changes in dietary habits and perceived social interaction. Good relationships and clear communication also proved to provide good conditions for improving the quality of life.
