Abstract [en]

Background: Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder that significantly affects quality of life through recurring episodes of severe headaches, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. Despite its impact, there is lack of understanding and inadequate treatment in healthcare, leading to frustration, social isolation, and reduced work capacity. Aim: To explore persons experiences of living with migraines. Method: A general literature review with a qualitative approach was conducted. Systematic searches in PubMed and CINAHL identified 39 articles. After screening titles and abstracts, 15 full-text articles were reviewed, ten met the inclusion criteria and were quality-assessed using Carlsson and Eiman’s (2003) checklist. Results: Three categories: The Impact of Migraine on Daily Life, Experiences of different treatment strategies, Lack of Understanding and Knowledge in Healthcare. Conclusion: The study revealed that migraine has a profound impact on individuals' everyday lives, particularly in terms of mental health, social relationships, and working life. It highlights the need for increased awareness and understanding of migraine among healthcare professionals. Personalized treatment that combines both medical and non- medical approaches may contribute to improved quality of life. Further research is needed to develop more effective care strategies and raise awareness about the extensive consequences.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Migrän är en kronisk neurologisk sjukdom som avsevärt påverkar individens livskvalitet genom återkommande episoder av intensiv huvudvärk, illamående samt ljus- och ljudkänslighet. Trots sjukdomens omfattande inverkan upplever många personer bristande förståelse och otillräcklig behandling inom vården, vilket kan leda till frustration, social isolering och nedsatt arbetsförmåga. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka personers upplevelser av att leva med migrän. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats genomfördes. Systematiska sökningar i databaserna PubMed och CINAHL identifierade totalt 39 artiklar. Efter genomgång av titlar och abstrakt, lästes 15 artiklar i fulltext, därav tio uppfyllde inklusionskriterierna och kvalitetsgranskades enligt Carlsson och Eimans (2003) mall. Resultat: tre huvudkategorier: Migränen inverkar på det dagliga livet, Erfarenheter av olika behandlingsstrategier, Bristande förståelse och kunskap inom vården. Konklusion: Studien visade att migrän har en djupgående inverkan på personers vardag, särskilt inom psykisk hälsa, sociala relationer och arbetsliv. Studien understryker behovet av ökad kunskap och förståelse för personer med migrän inom vården. En individanpassad behandling som kombinerar medicinska och icke-medicinska insatser kan bidra till en förbättrad livskvalitet. Vidare forskning krävs för att utveckla mer effektiva vårdstrategier och öka medvetenheten om migränens omfattande konsekvenser.
