Nordic women´s experiences of the climacteric : a literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Klimakteriet är en naturlig del av kvinnans liv. Klimakteriet som även kallas övergångsåldern, är en period då kvinnans fysiologiska kropp genomgår hormonella förändringar. Tiden då klimakteriet infinner sig är individuellt. Vanligast är dock att klimakteriet infinner sig då kvinnan passerat en ålder av 40. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva nordiska kvinnors upplevelser av klimakteriet. Metod: Metoden som används följer Friberg (2006) rekommendationer vad beträffar en litteraturöversikt. Resultat: Resultatet bygger på nio vetenskapliga artiklar, vilka är såväl kvalitativa som kvantitativa. I resultatet presenteras fyra teman. Personlig utveckling, Livskvalitet, Kroppsliga förändringar och symtom samt Det sexuella samlivet. Konklusion: Studiens fynd visar att kvinnors upplevelser av klimakteriet skiljer sig åt. Vi är alla unika och uppfattar således livets prövningar olika. Trots individuella upplevelser visar studiens resultat att många kvinnor upplever klimakteriet positivt. De upplever att de utvecklats som person likväl som de ser att de blivit bättre rustade inför det kommande livet. Författarna kopplar kvinnornas positiva upplevelser till KASAM, Känsla av sammanhang, som talar för att människan lättare kan möta livets utmaningar om hon kan förstå dess relevans och mening.

Abstract [en]

Background: Menopause is a natural part of a woman's life. The climacteric also known as the menopausal, is a period when a woman's physiological body undergoes hormonal changes. The days of climacteric appear individually. Most common is that climacteric is present when the woman passed the age of 40. Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe the Nordic women's experience of climacteric. Method: The method used follows Friberg (2006) recommendations regarding a literature review. Result: The result is based on nine research articles, which are both qualitative and quantitative. The result is presented in four themes, Personal growth, Quality of life, Bodily changes and symptoms and The sexual life together. Conclusion:  The study findings show that women's experiences of climacteric are different. We are all unique and therefore understands the trials of life different. Although individual experiences shows results of the study that many women experience climacteric positively. They perceive that they developed as a person as well as they see that they become better prepared for the next life. The authors link women's positive experiences to the KASAM, sense of coherence, which suggests that humans can better meet the challenges of life if she can understand its relevance and meaning.
