People's experiences of living with multiple sclerosis : A qualitative literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Multipel skleros är en kronisk, neurologisk, autoimmun och inflammatorisk sjukdom. Den livslånga kontakten med vården, oförutsägbara symtom samt att det idag inte finns något botemedel gör sjukdomen komplex. Patienter med MS finns i alla delar av vården, därför är det viktigt att sjukvårdspersonal har kunskap och motivation för att bedriva en inkluderande vård där patientens livssituation förbättras.

Syfte: Studiens syfte var att belysa personers upplevelser av att leva med sjukdomen multipel skleros.

Metod: Två databassökningar användes, PubMed och CINAHL Complete. Denna litteraturöversikt baseras på tio kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar. Dessa artiklar analyserades och granskades utifrån Fribergs beskrivning.

Resultat: I resultatet framkom det fyra huvudteman: Oförutsägbara förändringar, Ett förändrat jag, Psykosociala perspektiv och Att hantera sjukdom.

Slutsats: Att anpassa sig och acceptera sin livssituation var svårt men med hjälp av hanteringsstrategier, stöd från närstående och andra i samma sits samt vårdpersonal var det möjligt. Kunskap om sjukdomen och upplevelsen av att leva med MS var viktigt för att främja adaption och förbättra personens livssituation.

Abstract [en]

Background: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, neurological, autoimmune and inflammatory disease. A lifelong contact with healthcare, unpredictable symtoms and that there presently is no cure makes the disease complex. Patients with MS are present in every part of nursing, therefore it is important that nurses have the knowledge and motivation to provide inclusive care where the patient's life situation is improved.

Aim: The purpose of the study was to highlight people's experiences of living with the disease multiple sclerosis.

Method: Two database searches were used, PubMed and CINAHL Complete. This literature review is based on ten qualitative scientific articles. These articles were analyzed and reviewed based on Friberg's method.

Results: The results showed four main themes: Unpredictable changes, A changed self, Psychosocial perspectives and To manage the disease.

Conclusion: Adapting and accepting one's life situation was difficult, but with the help of self management strategies, support from relatives and others in the same situation as well as healthcare professionals, made it possible. Knowledge about the disease and the experience of living with MS was important to support adaptation and enhance the personens life situationen.
