Adult patients' experiences of living with an insulin pump (of the type closed loop) – a literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Diabetes typ 1 är en av världens snabbast växande folksjukdom vilket innebär att fler patienter med en insulinpump kommer söka vård i framtiden. Eftersom diabetes typ 1 medför en del olika komplikationer har patienten ett stort ansvar i sin egenvård. För att sjuksköterskan ska kunna underlätta egenvården och arbeta hälsofrämjande krävs det kunskap om hur det är att leva med en insulinpump och hur patienten upplever detta hjälpmedel kring sin egenvård.

Syfte: Vuxna patienters upplevelse av att leva med en insulinpump (av typen closed loop).

Metod: Metoden som användes var en litteraturöversikt av kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar som tagits fram genom systematisk artikelsökning i flera databaser.

Resultat: Höga förväntningar kan leda till besvikelser av oväntade hinder i insulinpumpsbehandlingen. Trots det upplever majoriteten av patienterna en flexiblare vardag och minskad psykisk börda kring insulinpumpen. Dock kan oro och rädsla upplevas för att insulinpumpen ansvarar för en livsviktig uppgift, som är insulinadministrering. Sjuksköterskans och vårdens stöd har stor betydelse men kan ibland inte räcka till.

Konklusion: Upplevelserna kring en insulinpump har av majoriteten upplevts positivt. Anledningen till negativa upplevelser har varit höga förväntningar och brist på information av vården.

Abstract [en]

Background: Diabetes type 1 is the world's fastest growing public disease, which means that more patients with an insulin pump will seek care in the future. Since type 1 diabetes entails a number of different complications, the patient has a great responsibility in his self-care. In order for the nurse to be able to facilitate self-care and work to promote health, knowledge is required about what it is like to live with an insulin pump and how the patient experiences this aid in their self-care.

Aim: Adult patient`s experience of living with an insulin pump (of the type closed loop).

Method: The method was a literature review of qualitative scientific articles produced through a systematic article search in several databases.

Findings: High expectations can lead to disappointments due to unexpected obstacles in insulin pump therapy. Despite that, the majority of patients experience a more flexible everyday life and reduced mental burden around the insulin pump. However, anxiety and fear can be experienced because the insulin pump is responsible for a vital task, which is insulin administration. The support of the nurse and the spring are of great importance, but sometimes cannot be enough.

Conclusion: The experiences of an insulin pump have been experienced positively by the majority. The reason for negative experiences has been high expectations and a lack of information about care.
