"Eventually it becomes a way of life" : An interview study about life situation and health in family members of people with alcohol problems (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Alkoholproblematik är ett stort problem som påverkar den enskilda personen, anhöriga och samhället. Lagar och riktlinjer slår fast att anhöriga ska erbjudas stödinsatser. Sjuksköterskans etiska kod omfattar både den enskilda individen, anhöriga och samhället. Tidigare studier har uppmärksammat livssituation och hälsa hos anhöriga till personer med psykisk ohälsa, men det saknas studier kring anhöriga till personer med alkoholproblem.

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva livssituationen med särskilt fokus på hälsa hos vuxna anhöriga till personer med alkoholproblematik.

Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ design med induktiv ansats. Sex vuxna anhöriga till personer med alkoholproblematik intervjuades individuellt med halvstrukturerad metod enligt Kvale och Brinkmann. Intervjumaterialet analyserades enligt Elo och Kyngäs metod för kvalitativ innehållsanalys.

Resultat: Resultatet från intervjuerna utmynnade i fyra kategorier: En otrygg och ansvarstagande livssituation, Att leva för den andra och förlora sig själv, Variation av starka känslor samt Att komma vidare i livet och försonas med sig själv.

Diskussion: Studiens metod diskuteras utifrån Graneheim och Lundmans kvalitetsbegrepp. Centrala fynd i resultatet diskuteras i relation till tidigare forskning samt Antonovskys teori om känsla av sammanhang (KASAM).
