Individuals' experiences of living with chronic obstructive disease (COPD) (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) är en kronisk inflammation i lungorna och innebär andningssvårigheter som förvärras vid ansträngning. Tidiga symtom är hosta på morgonen och slembildning. Patienter med KOL besväras också av skov, dessa kallas exacerbationer och innebär perioder där symtomen av KOL förvärras och blir mer tydliga.

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva individers erfarenheter med diagnosen KOL.

Metod: En kvalitativ litteraturstudie har genomförts baserad på 14 artiklar som kritiskt granskats för att få en djupare kunskap av redan publicerad forskning om det valda området.

Resultat: Resultatet presenteras i tre huvudteman rädsla för att söka vård på grund av eget vållande, vårdpersonalens påverkan, symtomen begränsar vardagslivet och sju underteman.

Konklusion: KOL har en negativ påverkan på den fysiska och psykiska förmågan, sociala relationer, intressen och självbilden. Individer med KOL tvingas ändra hela sitt liv och anpassa sig efter sjukdomens progression. Sjuksköterskan ska bidra med ett motiverande tankesätt och ej vara dömande eller diskriminerande.

Abstract [en]

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammation of the lungs and involves breathing difficulties that worsen with exertion. Early symptoms are morning cough and mucus production. Patients with COPD are also troubled by relapses, these are called exacerbations and involve periods where the symptoms of COPD worsen and become more evident.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to describe the experiences of individuals diagnosed with COPD.

Method: A qualitative literature review has been conducted based on 14 articles that were critically reviewed to gain a deeper knowledge of already published research on the chosen area.

Findings: The results are presented in three main themes: fear of seeking care due to one's own fault, the influence of the care staff, the symptoms limit everyday life and seven subthemes.

Conclusion: COPD has a negative impact on physical and mental ability, social relationships, interests and self-image. Individuals with COPD are forced to change their entire lives and adapt to the progression of the disease. The nurse must contribute with a motivating way of thinking and not be judgmental or discriminatory.
