To care for a relative with a chronic illness : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Kronisk sjukdom är ett permanent sjukdomstillstånd. Hälsa ur holistiskt perspektiv ses som en helhet, därav bör vården utformasutifrån den enskilda individens behov. Idag vårdas många personer hemifrån av en närstående. Den informella vårdaren har enbetydande roll i den hälsofrämjande processen. Sjuksköterskans ansvar innefattar att bidra till hälsa, minska lidande och förebygga skador, och att kunna inkludera närstående vid personcentrerad vård.

Syfte: Syftet var att belysa närståendes upplevelser av att vårda en anhörig med kronisk sjukdom.

Metod: En allmän litteraturöversikt utfördes i enlighet med Fribergs metodbeskrivning. Databaserna Cinahl Complete och PubMed användes vid sökning av sökorden extended family, family, caregivers, chronic disease och middle aged. Resultatet bygger på nio kvalitativa artiklar samt två artiklar med mixad metod.

Resultat: Deltagarnas upplevelser kunde skilja sig åt. Vardagen blev påverkad, vården för anhöriga innebar känslomässiga implikationer vilket påverkade familjedynamiken. Resultatet tydde också på att deltagarnas behov av interaktioner med sjukvården ansågs vara en viktig del av upplevelsen.

Sammanfattning: Deltagarna upplevde den vårdande rollen som begränsade samt att den försvårade anpassningen till vardagen. Detta kunde vara komplicerat för relationen mellan vårdaren och den anhörige. Upplevelserna var främst negativa men kunde även uppvisa positiva inverkan.

Abstract [en]

Background: Chronic disease is a permanent state of illness. Health from a holistic perspective is perceived as a entirety and therefore caregiving should be designed in relation to each individual's needs. Many people get homecare from a relative today. The informal caregivers have a meaningful role in the promotion of health. Nurses are responsible for contributingto good health, reduced suffering, and injury prevention and to also include relatives with person centered care.

Aim: The aim of this study was to shed light on experiences of caregiving for a relative with a chronic illness.

Method: A literature review was made according to Friberg’s method description. The databases Cinahl Complete and PubMed were used for the search with the keywords extended family, family, caregivers, chronic disease and middle aged. The result of the study was based on nine qualitative articles, and two using mixed methods.

Results: The participants' experiences could differ from one another. These described how caring for a relative impacts everyday life, impeared health, impact upon relations and significance of interaction with healthcare.

Summary: Participants experienced the caring role as limiting, and complicated to combine with everyday life. This could complicate the relationship between the caregiver and the relative. The experiences of caring for their relatives were mostly negative but the result could also show some positive outcomes.
