Upplevelsen av att inte kunna sluta röka vid kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom

Eklund, Britt-Marie, Nilsson, Siv January 2011 (has links)
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is one of the most widespread lung diseases today and is a growing cause for suffering and mortality worldwide. It is considered to be the third leading cause of death in the near future. Smoking is the most important risk factor for this disease and about 50% of smokers develop COPD. The purpose of this study was to mediate the experience of not being able to stop smoking described by persons diagnosed with mild or moderate COPD. The study involved five women and five men. Data was collected by semi-structured interviews and analyzed using qualitative latent content analysis. The analysis resulted in two themes: Life is governed by a long smoking history that is difficult to break and To be aware of and enlightened, but lacking ability to make a decision, and in five categories: That it is the wrong time in life to stop; To break a lifelong pattern is almost impossible; That plans to stop does not lead to results; Being aware of the consequences of continued smoking and to have received help and support but not liking to be patronized. Participants' lives were governed by a lifelong smoking habit which was difficult to break, although they had knowledge about the harmful effects of smoking. Individuals life situation is very important if the cessation of smoking can be successfully implemented and with lasting results. To have plans to stop smoking is not enough it is also necessary to get motivation and support from the environment and at the right time. Participants that where reluctant to smoking cessation where also critical to the information and support that was given to them. This indicates that health professionals should be more sensitive and provide an individually tailored support when an individual decides to stop smoking. / <p>Validerat; 20110102 (ysko)</p>

Upplevelser av att leva med kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) : en litteraturöversikt / Experiences of living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : A literature review

Fredriksson, Dina January 2023 (has links)
Bakgrund Kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) är en kronisk inflammation i lungorna som förstör lungvävnaden och minskar lungkapaciteten. Sjukdomen går inte att bota. År 2030 beräknas sjukdomen utgöra den tredje största dödsorsaken samt patientgruppen i världen. KOL medför ett stort lidande och försämrad livskvalité för den drabbade. Syfte Syftet med litteraturöversikten är att beskriva personers upplevelser av att leva med kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL). Metod Examensarbetet genomfördes som en strukturerad litteraturöversikt. 13 artiklar från databaserna Cinahl och PsycINFO analyserades och sammanställdes med Fribergs analysmetod. De inkluderade artiklarna var av kvalitativ design. Resultat Resultatet delades in i två huvudkategorier: Förändring av förutsättningar och hantering av förändringarna. De centrala fynden var de fysiska förändringar som upplevdes, att fokus låg på andningen och känslor av att vara begränsad socialt var särskilt framträdande. Känslor av skam och skuld men också kunskapsutbyte och stöd hos andra personer i liknande situation. Att använda fysisk aktivitet som en strategi och ta ansvar för egenvård. Slutsats Resultatet visar att personer med sjukdomen KOL upplever begränsningar i det dagliga livet både gällande den sociala samvaron och fysiska aktiviteter. Hjälpmedel ansågs minska isolering och de dagliga aktiviteterna kunde upprätthållas bättre. Känslor av skuld och skam som har en inverkan på personernas upplevelser av hälsa framträder. Det finns upplevelser om attityder gentemot personer med KOL och att detta kunde leda till att man undvek att söka vård. / Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammation of the lungs that destroys the lung tissue, reduces lung capacity and cannot be cured. In 2023, the disease is estimated to be the third biggest patient group in the world and the third largest cause of death. COPD causes suffering through shortness of breath, limited mobility and are duced quality of life. Aim The purpose of this thesis is to describe people's experiences of living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Method The thesis was carried out as a structured literature review containing 13 articles from the database CINAHL and PsycINFO. The articles were analyzed and compiled using Friberg´s analysis method. The included articles were of qualitative design. Results The results were divided into two main categories: Change in conditions and management of the changes. The central findings were the physical changes experienced, a focus on breathing and feelings of being socially restricted were particularly prominent. Feelings of shame and guilt but also exchange of knowledge and support from other people in a similar situation. Using physical activity as a strategy and taking responsibility for selfcare. Conclusions The results show that people with the disease COPD experience limitations in daily life both regarding social interaction and physical tasks. The study also reveals feelings of guilt and shame, which are significant for the persons' health. Experiences that there is a certain attitude towards people who suffer from the disease are described.

Informations- och kommunikationsteknologi som stöd för patienter med astma och kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom avseende egenvård. En litteraturstudie. / Information and communication technology as support for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients regarding self-care. A literature study.

Jonsson, Martin January 2016 (has links)
Bakgrund: Astma och KOL är två vanlig kroniska sjukdomar som är kopplade till stort sjukdomslidande och lägre livskvalité. Många personer som idag lever med sjukdomarna lever isolerat från andra. Idag har vi en ständig utveckling av sociala nätverk som öppnar en ny möjlighet för egenvård. Egenvård kan göra att patienter får en bättre vardag samt att det lättare kan få ett socialt umgänge. Syfte: Syftet är sammanställa befintlig litteratur och där undersöka hur informations- och kommunikationsteknologi underlättar egenvården för patienter med astma och KOL. Metod: Litteraturstudie där artiklarna söktes i databaser för omvårdnadsvetenskap så som Web Of Science, pubmed och Cinahl. Litteraturstudien baseras på 16 vetenskapliga artiklar som både är kvalitativa och kvantitativa. Artiklarna som valdes är inte äldre än 10 år gamla, skrivna på engelska och publicerade i en vetenskaplig tidning. Resultat: Resultatet som artiklarna påvisade är grundade på IKT i form av datorer, mobiltelefoner, surfplattor och web-baserad program. Artiklarna visar att egenvården kan förbättras genom ökad livskvalité, bättre kommunikation och bättre sjukdomsinsikt när man använder IKT. Slutsats: IKT är en viktig roll i våran hälso- och sjukvård idag. Det finns dock liten forskning på hur egenvården kring astma och KOL påverkas av IKT. Den forskning som finns pekar åt är att den förbättrar för patienter. Det behövs även mer forskning kring IKT som en resurs för egenvård kring ett omvårdnadsperspektiv. / Introduktion: Asthma and COPD are two common chronic diseases that are linked to major suffering and reduced quality of life. Many people who live with the disease are isolated from others. Today we have a continuous development of social networks that opens a new opportunity for self-care. Self-care can make patients get a more normal life style and that it is easier to get a social life. Aim: The aim is to compile existing literature and of wich explore how information and communications technology facilitates selfcare for patients with asthma and COPD. Methods: Literaturestudy where the articles were searched in databases of nursing such as Web of Science, PubMed and Cinahl. The literature review based on 16 scientific articles that are both qualitative and quantitative. The articles selected are not older than 10 years, written in english and published in a scientific journal. Results: The results that the articles showed are based on ICT in the form of computers, cell phones, tablets, and web-based programs. Articles show self-care can be improved through increased quality of life, better communication and a better understanding of illness when using ICT. Conclusion: ICT play an important role in our health care today. However, there is little research on how self-care while suffering from asthma and COPD is influenced by ICT. The research is pointing to the improvements for patients. It also needed more research around ICT, self-care and from a nursing perspective.
