Patiens experince of life after bariatric surgery : A general literature study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Obesitas är ett globalt hälsoproblem som orsakar hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar, muskuloskeletala besvär samt besvär från reproduktiva systemet. En behandlingsmetod är bariatrisk kirurgi. År 2021 genomfördes 598 834 bariatriska kirurgier runt om i världen. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa patienters erfarenheter av livet efter bariatrisk kirurgi. Metod: Denna studie var en allmän litteraturstudie som byggde på att sammanställa tidigare forskning. Totalt inkluderades 12 olika kvalitativa studier som analyserades och sammanställdes. Resultat: Studiens resultat består av två huvudkategorier, Fysiska förändringar samt Psykosociala förändringar. Huvudkategorin Fysiska förändringar inkluderar underkategorierna Överskottshud blir ett hinder i vardagen, Mer energi och ökad rörelseförmåga, Förändrade matvanor samt Kroppsliga besvär och obehag. Andra huvudkategorin Psykosociala förändringar inkluderade underkategorierna Ökad självbild och förlorad identitet, Stöd från omgivningen: när familj och vänner spelar roll samt Förändrade sexuella relationer bland kvinnor och män. Slutsats: Patienters erfarenheter efter genomgången bariatrisk kirurgi var både positiv och negativ. Till de positiva erfarenheterna tillhörde ökad energi och förbättrad hälsa samt ökat självförtroende. När det gäller de negativa erfarenheterna tillhörde exempelvis överskottshud, olika gastrointestinala besvär samt sämre självbild. Genom resultatet kan allmän sjuksköterskan förstå patienternas behov och applicera detta i den personcentrerade omvårdnaden.
