Women’s experiences of living with anorexia nervosa : A qualitativ analysis of narratives (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Anorexia Nervosa är en av den vanligaste ätstörningen och drabbar främst yngre kvinnor. Sjukdomen leder till en förvrängd kroppsuppfattning och karaktäriseras främst av viljestyrd överdriven bantning. Långvarig och grav AN kan skada kroppens organ vilket kan vara livshotande. AN är den psykiatriska sjukdomen med högst dödslighetsgrad. Det är svårt att behandla patienter med AN då det finns ett motstånd från dessa patienter på grund av att de förnekar sina beteenden. Det kan även bero på stigman kring ätstörningar som finns i samhället, vilket leder till att patienter undviker eller uteblir från behandling. Syfte: Att beskriva unga kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med anorexia nervosa. Metod: En kvalitativ analys av narrativer tillämpades på sex bloggar från Google. Bloggarna var skrivna av kvinnor i åldrarna 16–26 år. Resultat: Ur analysen framträdde tre kategorier; Att skambelägga sig själv, Självhat och Begynnande sjukdomsinsikt med sju underkategorier. Konklusion: Studien kan leda till en ökad förståelse och kunskap kring patienters upplevelser av att leva med AN, vilket kan bidra till att sjuksköterskan kan utföra en mer personcentrerad vård.

Abstract [en]

Background: Anorexia Nervosa is one of the most common eating disorders and mainly affects younger women. The disease leads to a distorted body image and is characterized mainly by will-driven excessive dieting. Prolonged and severe AN can damage the body's organs which can be life-threatening. AN is a psychiatric disease with a high risk of death. It is difficult to treat patients with AN because there is resistance from these patients though they are in complete deny of their behaviour. It may also be due to the stigma surrounding eating disorders that exist in the community, which leads to patients avoiding treatments for their disease. Purpose: To describe young women's experiences of living with anorexia nervosa. Method: A qualitative analysis of narratives was applied to six blogs from Google. The blogs were written by women aged 16-26 years. Results: Three categories emerged from the analysis; To shame oneself, Selfhatred and Incipient desease insight with seven subcategories. Conclusion: The study can lead to an increased understanding and knowledge of patients' experiences of living with AN, which can help the nurse to provide a good person-centered care.
