Living with a urinary catheter: patients experience : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Kvarvarande katetrar är vanligt förekommande i vården och det finns en mängd olika anledningar till att patienter ordineras dessa. Oftast sker ordinationen i samband med problem eller sjukdomar i urinvägarna. Med kvarvarande katetrar följer även en del komplikationer. Somliga komplikationer uppstår på grund av den teknik som används vid katetersättningen.

Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att belysa patientens upplevelse av att leva med en kvarvarande kateter.

Metod: En litteraturöversikt har gjorts i denna studie. Tio stycken resultatartiklar söktes fram, nio var kvalitativa och en var kvantitativ och de har sedan analyserats och tolkats för att sedan tematiseras. Artiklarna har hämtats från databaserna CINAHL Complete, PubMed och Psyc Info.

Resultat: Resultatet beskrivs i två teman som presenterar skillnaderna mellan negativa upplevelser och positiva upplevelser. Resultatet visar att katetern kunde upplevas som ett hinder i vardagen och ofta upplevde deltagarna smärta, som vid urinvägsinfektion, oro eller obehag vid läckage och blockage. Självbilden och sexualiteten kunde förändras då vissa deltagare inte längre upplevde sig själva som kvinnliga eller manliga. Några deltagare upplevde även en positiv förändring i livet då de menade att katetern bidragit till en ökad frihet och trygghetskänsla.

Diskussion: Metodens styrkor och svagheter bearbetas i metoddiskussionen. I resultatdiskussionen diskuteras resultatet med vårdvetenskapligt material och valda delar av Katie Erikssons omvårdnadsteori som belyser lidandet.

Abstract [en]

Background: Indwelling catheters are common in health care and there are multiple causes why patients get them prescribed. The most common reasons for the prescription is of difficulties and or diseases in the urinary tracts. Indwelling catheters are also an cause of complications like infections, pain or other catheter problems.

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the patient's experience of living with an indwelling catheter.

Method: A literature review was conducted. Ten scientific articles were analyzed, interpreted, nine were qualitative and one was quantitative and then categorized into two themes. The articles were found from the databases CINAHL Complete, PubMed and Psyc Info.

Results: The result presents two themes which represents the differences between the negative and the positive experiences from the patients. The result described that urinary catheter became an obstacle in the everyday life and were often the reason to urinary tract infection, anxiety, discomfort under leakage or blockage. The patients self-image and sexuality could sometimes change since some of the patients did not experienced themselves as the person they used to be before they got the urinary catheter. Some patients experienced a positive change in their life because they felt that the catheters contributed them with a sense of security and freedom.

Discussion: The method's strengths and weaknesses are processed in the discussion. The result discussed articles and selected parts of Katie Eriksson nursing theory that highlights the suffering.
