The journey through breast cancer treatment : A qualitative literature review concerning women’s experiences of breast cancer treatment (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Bröstcancer är den vanligaste formen av cancer för kvinnor och det finns olika behandlingsalternativ beroende på hur aggressiv cancern är. Coping, stöd från familj, vårdpersonal, gruppstöd, delaktighet i vården och personcentrerad vård är centralt under behandlingsperioden. Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva kvinnors upplevelse av bröstcancerbehandling. Metod: Litteraturöversikt med kvalitativ ansats. Elva vetenskapliga artiklar valdes till resultatet. Resultatet: Kvinnor upplever flera olika biverkningar under behandlingen samt behovet av stöd. Vissa föredrar stödet från familj och anhöriga medan andra föredrar stöttning från stödgrupp. Kvinnorna upplever också att det är brister i den personcentrerade vården vilket får kvinnorna att känna sig mer som ett objekt än en människa. De vill bli bemötta med respekt. Konklusion: Kvinnorna upplever mycket känslor som oro, rädsla och ångest under behandlingsperioden samt behovet av stöd. Det som ger kvinnorna mest sorg är bröstkirurgi och håravfall. De flesta upplever att de har en passiv roll i beslutsfattandet vilket inte uppfattas som negativt, men de vill att sjuksköterskan ska stötta dem genom deras cancerresa.

Eleven scientific articles were chosen for the result. Results: Women experience several different side effects during treatment. Some women prefer the support of family and relatives while others prefer support from a support group.The women also experience flaws in the individual care which renders the women to feel more like objects than human beings, they want to be treated with respect.

What gives the women most grief is breastsurgery and loss of hair. Most women feel they have a passive role in the decision making,which is not perceived as something.
