Women's experiences of undergoing a hysterectomy : A qualitative literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Hysterektomi innebär att kvinnans livmoder opereras bort och är en av de vanligaste gynekologiska operationerna. Indikationer för ingreppet är vanligtvis benigna blödningsrubbningar, myom, endometrios, framfall och maligna gynekologiska tillstånd. Dessa tillstånd orsakar ett stort lidande för kvinnorna och sjuksköterskan behöver beakta både fysiska och psykiska aspekter inom omvårdnad för att kunna öka kvinnornas välbefinnande och livskvalitet.

Syfte: Att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av att genomgå en hysterektomi.

Metod: Kvalitativ litteraturöversikt utifrån tio vetenskapliga artiklar. Databaserna som användes var CINAHL, Medline och Pubmed. En tematisk analys gjordes i fyra steg.

Resultat: Fem teman framkom i resultatet; begränsad av en förändrad kropp, behov av stöd, en välfungerande vård, omvårdnad utan personcentrering samt påverkad livskvalitet efter operationen.

Konklusion: Kvinnor upplevde innan sin hysterektomi en förlust av sin egen kropp då den inte längre fungerade som tidigare. Detta ledde till en förlust av deras identitet och påverkade deras vardagliga liv. Kvinnorna var i stort behov av att få begriplig information och stöd av både vårdpersonal och sin omgivning. Den specialiserade vården sågs som välfungerande men kvinnorna saknade personcentrering i vården.

Abstract [en]

Background: A hysterectomy means that the woman’s uterus is surgically removed and is one of the most common gynecological surgeries. Indications for the procedure are usually benign bleeding disorders, fibroids, endometriosis, prolapse and malignant gynecological conditions. These conditions cause a great suffering for the women and the nurse need to consider both physical and psychological aspects in nursing to be able to increase the women's well-being and quality of life.

Aim: To describe women's experiences of undergoing a hysterectomy.

Method: Qualitative literature review based on ten scientific articles. The databases used were CINAHL, Medline and Pubmed. A thematic analysis was done in four steps.

Findings: Five themes emerged in the results; limited by a changed body, need for support, a well-functioning care, care without person-centeredness and an affected quality of life after the operation.

Conclusion: Before their hysterectomy, women experienced a loss of their own body as it no longer functioned as before. This led to a loss of their identity and affected their everyday lives. The women needed comprehensible information and support from both healthcare professionals and their surroundings. Specialized care was seen as well-functioning, but the women lacked person-centered care.
