Women's suffering from infertility in endometriosis : A general literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Endometrios drabbar cirka 10% av kvinnor i fertil ålder. Sjukdomen korrelerar med infertilitet. Infertiliteten leder till lidande hos de drabbade kvinnorna. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva erfarenheter hos kvinnor som lider av infertilitet på grund av endometrios. Metod: Studien använde sig av litteraturstudie som tillvägagångssätt. Efter artikelsökningen valdes nio resultatartiklar ut. Artiklarna granskades enligt Carlsson och Eimans (2003) granskningsmall, efter det sammanställdes artiklarnas resultat och kategoriserades därefter in efter hur de svarade på syftet. Resultat: Resultatet delades in i fem kategorier; Sorgen över att få sin infertilitetsdiagnos, Missnöjet över vårdens bemötande, Påfrestningar av att genomgå infertilitetsbehandling, Brist på stöttning från sin omgivning, Förändrad självuppfattning vid infertilitet. Kvinnors infertilitetsdiagnos påverkade kvinnor i alla delar av deras liv. Det framkom att majoriteten av kvinnorna har haft negativa upplevelser med hälso- och sjukvården. Olika läkare gav olika råd, känslig information sades utan taktkänsla, kvinnorna upplevde press från sjukvården hur de skulle behandlas. Konklusion: Endometrios och infertilitet påverkar kvinnor på flera plan i deras liv. Det är av vikt att hälso- och vårdpersonal har de rätta kunskaperna för att kunna lindra kvinnans lida och stötta henne. Det behövs mer forskning kring ämnet för en djupare förståelse av sjukdomen och utbildning till den drabbade kvinnans omgivning vore önskvärt.

Abstract [en]

Background: Endometriosis affects about 10% of women in fertile age. The disease correlates with infertility and leads to suffering in the affected women. Aim: The aim of the study was to highlight women's experiences of living with infertility related to endometriosis. Method: The study used a literature study as an approach. After the article search, nine result articles were selected. The articles were reviewed according to Carlsson and Eiman's (2003) review template, after that the results of the articles were compiled and then categorized according to how they answered the purpose. Results: The results were divided into five categories; The grief of being diagnosed with infertility, Dissatisfaction with the behavior of the healthcare system, Stresses of undergoing infertility treatment, Lack of support from those around them, Changed self-perception in infertility. Women's infertility diagnosis affected women in all areas of their lives. It highlighted that the majority of women have had negative experiences with health care. Different doctors gave different advice, sensitive information given without any concern and the women experienced pressure from the healthcare system as to how they should be treated. Conclusion: Endometriosis and infertility affect women on many levels in their lives. It is important that healthcare professionals have the right skills to be able to alleviate the woman's suffering and support her. More research is needed on the subject for a deeper understanding of the disease and education for the affected woman's surroundings would be desirable.
