Sexuality in relation to Multiple sclerosis : a literature review focusing on the impact of sexuality on Multiple sclerosis (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Multipel skleros, MS, är en autoimmun, neurologisk, kronisk sjukdom som påverkar hela centrala nervsystemet. Sjukdomsförloppet ser annorlunda ut från person till person och är relativt oförutsägbart.

Syfte: Syftet var att belysa erfarenheter av sexualitet hos vuxna patienter med Multipel skleros samt vilka faktorer som kan påverka denna.

Metod: Metoden för uppsatsen var en integrerad litteraturöversikt, baserad på tio artiklar varav åtta kvantitativa och två kvalitativa.

Resultat: Resultatet summeras i tre olika teman Fysiska symtom, Depression och Påverkan på relationer och sexualliv. Resultatet visade att personer med MS ofta upplevde någon form av sexuell problematik vad gäller både fysiska, psykiska och sociala aspekter. Mellan 44–82,5 % av deltagarna som inkluderats i studierna som ingår i denna litteraturöversikt led av sexuell dysfunktion, SD. Flera deltagare uppgav att SD påverkade deras sexualliv negativt.

Diskussion: Diskussionen är uppdelad i två delar: metoddiskussion där metoden för arbetet diskuteras och resultatdiskussion där resultatet diskuteras huvudsakligen utifrån Callista Roys adaptionsmodell. Aspekter av betydelseför sjuksköterskans möte med patienter med MS belyses också.

Method: The method of the essay was an integrated literature review, based on ten articles of which eight quantitative and two qualitative.

Results: The result is summarized in three different themes Physical Symptoms, Depression and The impact on relationships and the sex life.

Between 44–82.5 percent of all participants in all studies included in this literary review had sexual dysfunction, SD. Several participants stated that SD had a negative impact on their sex life.
