Patients’ experiences of living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) : A litterature review (English)
Abstract [en]

Background Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common disease affecting people worldwide, with smoking being the most common cause. COPD affects the airways and presents symptoms such as breathlessness and coughing. The nurse's role is to identify and understand the patient's unique needs to provide adequate help and support.  

Aim The aim was to describe patients’ experiences of living with COPD.  Method A litterature review was conducted based on eleven qualitative scientific articles. Articles searches were obtained from the databases Cinahl Complete and PubMed. The articles were analysed according to Friberg’s (2017) method.

Results The results are presented within three main themes: physical limitations, emotional distress, and support in daily life. Regarding physical limitations, breathlessness, fatigue, and reduced mobility were common symptoms that restricted daily activities. In the theme of emotional distress, anxiety, fear, guilt, and shame were symptoms that negatively impacted patients with COPD. In the final theme support in daily life, patients reported that family members and healthcare professionals played crucial roles in providing support.

Conclusions Patients with COPD experienced significant physical, psychological, and social challenges in their daily lives. These challenges negatively impact the quality of life and well-being of these patients and can lead to social isolation and loneliness. Person-centered care is crucial for meeting the needs of these patients and involving both the patient and relatives in care can be very helpful.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund Kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) är en folksjukdom som påverkar människor över hela världen, och den vanligaste orsaken till sjukdomen är rökning. KOL karaktäriseras av luftvägsobstruktion och ger symtom såsom andnöd och hosta. Det är av stor vikt att sjuksköterskan identifierar och förstår varje patientens unika behov för att kunna erbjuda ett optimaltstöd och vård.

Syfte Syftet var att beskriva patienters erfarenheter av att leva med KOL.

Metod En litteraturöversikt baserad på elva kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar. Artikelsökningar hämtades från databaserna Cinahl Complete och PubMed. Artiklarna analyserades enligt Fribergs (2017) metod.

Resultat Resultatet presenteras i tre huvudteman; fysiska begränsningar, emotionella påfrestningar och stöd i vardagen. I temat fysiska begränsningar var andfåddhet, trötthet och nedsatt rörlighet vanliga symtom som begränsade patienters vardag. I temat emotionella påfrestningar var ångest, rädsla, skuld och skam, symtom som påverkade patienterna negativt. I det sista temat stöd i vardagen rapporterade patienterna att anhöriga och vårdpersonal var viktiga i stödarbetet.

Slutsats Patienter med KOL upplevde betydande fysiska, psykiska och sociala utmaningar i sitt dagliga liv. Dessa utmaningar påverkade patienters livskvalitet och välbefinnande på ett negativt sätt och kan leda till social isolering och ensamhet. Personcentrerad vård är avgörande för att möta behov hos patienter med KOL och att involvera både patienter och närstående i vården kan vara till stor hjälp.
