Meaning in persons with schizophrenia : a qualitative systemic review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund:Schizofreni är en psykossjukdom som orsakar lidande, lägre livskvalité och ökad risk för suicid. Att uppleva mening i tillvaron främjar psykisk hälsa och livskvalité samt kan vara en skyddsfaktor mot suicidalt beteende. Mening är ett existentiellt behov och anses vara gynnsamt för individens återhämtning. Det behövs mer kunskap om hur upplevelse av mening uttrycker sig hos personer med schizofreni.

Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva hur upplevelse av mening tar sig uttryck hos personer med en schizofrenidiagnos.

Metod:En kvalitativ systematisk litteraturöversikt valdes som metod. Fjorton kvalitativa artiklar inkluderades och analyserades med Braun & Clarkes mall för tematisk analys. Analysen gjordes i 6 steg och resulterade i 3 teman, med 2 tillhörande subteman var.

Resultat:Trots närvaro av sjukdom och stort lidande framkommer det att personer med schizofreni upplever mening i sin vardag. Det finns även en strävan efter att leva meningsfullt. Uttryck för mening framträdde i tre huvudsakliga teman: mening genom sällskap, mening genom självkännedom samt mening genom andlighet och religion. Meningsfullhet visar sig genom både handlingar och upplevelser.

Slutsats: Uttryck för mening hos personer med schizofreni framträdde i tre dimensioner som handlade om relationer till andra människor, sig själv, och till en högre makt. Kunskapen kan användas inom omvårdnad för att stödja personer med schizofreni i att skapa en meningsfull tillvaro.

Abstract [en]

Background: Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder that causes suffering, lower quality of life and increased risk of suicide. Experiencing meaning in life promotes mental health, quality of life and can be a protective factor against suicidal behavior. Meaning is an existential need and is considered favorable for the individual's recovery. More knowledge is needed about how the experience of meaning is expressed in people with schizophrenia.

Aim: The purpose was to describe how the experience of meaning is expressed in people with a schizophrenia diagnosis.

Method: A qualitative systematic literature review was chosen as the method. Fourteen qualitative articles were included and analyzed as described by Braun & Clarke's template for thematic analysis. The analysis was done in 6 steps and resulted in 3 themes, with 2 associated sub themes each.

Results: Despite the presence of illness and great suffering, it appears that people with schizophrenia experience meaning in their everyday lives. There is also a desire to live meaningfully. Expressions of meaning appeared in three main themes: meaning through company, meaning through self-knowledge, and meaning through spirituality and religion. Meaningfulness is shown through both actions and experiences.

Conclusion: Expressions of meaning in people with schizophrenia appeared in three dimensions that were about relationships with other people, oneself, and a higher power. The knowledge can be used in nursing to support people with schizophrenia in creating a meaningful life.
