Men's experiences of prostate cancer : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Prostatacancer är en sjukdom som påverkar ett stort antal män världen över där behandlingsalternativen ofta följer med svåra biverkningar för patienten. Biverkningarna påverkar bland annat sexuell hälsa och urinvägar. Biverkningarna påverkar även männens identitet och manlighet. 

Syfte: Syftet med litteraturöversikten var att beskriva patienters upplevelser av prostatacancer.

Metod: En litteraturöversikt användes där författarna hittade 10 stycken kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar som sammanställts till resultatet i denna studie. 

Resultat: Resultatet visar att männens upplevelser kring prostatacancer är ofta svåra för männen och att det finns många påverkande faktorer mot deras identitet och självkänsla. 

Sammanfattning: Med denna studie ger vi en ökad förståelse för männens upplevelser under sin sjukdom med prostatacancer och ge kunskap till sjuksköterskor om männens psykiska tillstånd för att kunna utföra god omvårdnad. 

Abstract [en]

Background: Prostate cancer is a disease that affects many men around the world where treatment options often come with severe side effects for the patient. The side effects affect their sexuality among other things, but there are many more serious side effects. The side effects also often hit hard on men's identity, which often has serious consequences on their life. 

Aim: The aim of this literature overview was to describe patient’s experiences of prostate cancer. 

Method: A literature review was performed where 10 articles was found for our result. 

Results: The results showed that men's experiences of prostate cancer are often difficult for men and that there are many influencing factors towards their identity and self-esteem. 

Conclusion: With this study we provided an increased understanding of men's experiences during their illness with prostate cancer and to provide nurses with knowledge about men's mental state in order to be able to perform good nursing.
