Being a family member to a person who has suffered from a stroke : A literature review regarding the experiences of family members to a person who has suffered a stroke (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Stroke är en av vanligaste folksjukdomen i Sverige. Stroke är ett samlingsbegrepp för hjärnblödning och hjärninfarkt. Sjukdomen påverkar alla aspekter av livet, även anhöriga. I sjuksköterskans yrkesroll ingår att bidra med goda stöd och information till anhöriga samt etablera en relation som bygger på förtroende.

Syfte: Att beskriva upplevelsen av att vara anhörig till en person som drabbas av stroke.

Metod: En litteraturöversikt baserad på elva kvalitativa artiklar genomfördes enligt Fribergs metodbeskrivning. Sökning skedde genom databaserna CinahL och PubMed med sökord ”Stroke” Family” ”Caregivers” och ”Experience”. Analysarbetet resulterade i ett huvudtema ”Livet är förändrat” med fyra tillhörande subteman ”ett förändrat vardagsliv”, ”ett förändrat ansvarstagande”, ”ett förändrat Personligt liv” och ”ett förändrat hälsotisstånd”.

Resultat: Resultaten visade att anhöriga upplevde förändringar i vardagsrutiner och hälsotisstånd. Utöver att de hade ett nytt ansvar som påverkade deras sociala liv. Anhöriga upplevde en känsla av oro, ansträngning att hålla samtidigt olika roller, upplevelse av isolering och förluster av sociala kontakter.

Sammanfattning: Litteraturöversikt visade att anhöriga är i behov av hjälp och stöd. Anhörigas hälsa påverkas i stor utsträckning av de olika livsförändring och den nya vårdande rollen de antar. Därför bör sjukvårdspersonalen hitta strategier för att ge anhöriga det stöd som de behöver för att kunna känna sig trygga i den ny livssituation.

Abstract [en]

Background: Strokes is one of the most common endemic diseases in Sweden. Stroke is a collective term for cerebral hemorrhage and cardiac infarctions. The disease affects all aspects of life, as well as family members. The role of the nurse includes contributing with support and information to family members and establishing a relation that builds on trust.

Aim: To describe the experience of being a family member to a person that has been affected by a stroke.

Method: A literature review based on eleven qualitative articles was conducted according to Fribergs method description. The searches were made through the databases CinahL and Pubmed with the keywords” Stroke” Family”,” Caregivers” and” Experience”. The analysis work resulted in a main theme “Life is changed” and four sub-themes “a changed everyday life”, “a changed responsibility taking”, “a changed personal life” and “a changed state of health.

Results: The results showed that family members experienced changes in daytoday routines and state of health. They had new responsibilities that affected their social lives. Family members also experienced feelings of worry, weariness to continuously hold different roles, experience of isolation and loss of social contacts.

Conclusion: The literature review shows that relatives are in great need of help and support. The health of relatives is affected to a great extent by the different changes to their day to day lives which a stroke and the new caretaker role brings. Therefor the health care system needs to give relatives the support they need to be able to feel safe in their new life situation.
