Diabetic patients’ experience of amputation of the lower extremity : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Diabetes mellitus är en global folksjukdom. Sjukdomen kan orsaka flera allvarliga komplikationer varav en är amputation av nedre extremitet. Förlust av en kroppsdel till följd av sjukdomen innebär både fysiska och psykiska påfrestningar, vilket kan resultera i positiva och/eller negativa upplevelser. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva patienters upplevelser kring amputation av nedre extremitet till följd av diagnosen diabetes mellitus. Metod: En litteraturöversikt baserad på 11 kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Resultatet visar att patienternas upplevelser är individuell och innefattar både positiva och negativa aspekter. Upplevelserna involverade rörelseförmågan, känslor, stöd, information och utbildning. Stödet från anhöriga och vårdpersonal hade en avgörande inverkan på patienterna under hela amputationsprocessen. Stödet hade även betydelse för patienternas acceptans och anpassning till den förändrade livssituationen. Konklusion: Studien visar att patienterna upplevde ett bristande stöd från sin omgivning, vilket påverkade upplevelserna negativt. När sjuksköterskan erhåller en förståelse för patienten kan det underlätta bemötandet och den stödjande funktionen i vårdmötet.
