Individers upplevelser av livssituationen efter en traumatisk hjärnskada : En systematisk litteraturöversikt

Dimander, Emma, Hellgren, Klara January 2020 (has links)
Introduktion: Traumatisk hjärnskada är en av det ledande orsakerna till mortalitet och morbiditet globalt. Traumatisk hjärnskada graderas som mild, måttlig eller svår skada. Prognosen kan variera beroende på allvarlighetsgraden, långvarig medvetslöshet samt storleken på primär och sekundär skada. De förlorade eller nedsatta funktioner som hjärnskadan medfört kan i olika grad påverka individers livssituation. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva hur individer med en traumatisk hjärnskada upplever sin livssituation tiden efter den akuta fasen av skadan. Metod: En kvalitativ systematisk litteraturstudie med beskrivande design. Studiens resultat baserades på 10 vetenskapliga originalartiklar från databaserna PubMed och CINAHL. Resultat: Fyra huvudkategorier identifierades: komplikationer, ett annat liv, mötet med hälso- och sjukvården samt vardagen med traumatisk hjärnskada. De mest framträdande komplikationerna var fysiska, kognitiva och psykosociala svårigheter. En förändrad självbild och att acceptera skadan gav upphov till känslan av ett annat liv efter skadan. Information, kommunikation och stöd var viktiga delar i mötet med hälso- och sjukvården. Vardagen med traumatisk hjärnskada omfattade närståendes betydelse, arbetsliv och återhämtning vilket var viktiga delar för en fungerande vardag. Slutsats: Individer som drabbats av traumatisk hjärnskada upplever i olika grad att livet förändras efter skadan. Hur komplikationer inverkar på livet, känslan av ett annat liv, mötet med hälso- och sjukvården samt vardagen med traumatisk hjärnskada var dominerande upplevelser som alla påverkade och kunde förändra individens livssituation. Upplevelserna av en förändrad livssituation kan bidra till känslan av att inte fylla sin funktion i livet vilket kan resultera i en minskad känsla av sammanhang. För att tillmötesgå dessa individer och optimera förutsättningarna krävs god information, kommunikation, förståelse och planering från hälso- och sjukvården och samhället.  Nyckelord: traumatisk hjärnskada, vuxna, livsavgörande händelser, känsla av sammanhang, kvalitativ systematisk litteraturstudie / Introduction: Traumatic brain injury is a worldwide leading cause of death and disability. Traumatic brain injuries can be graded as mild, moderate and severe. The prognosis can vary depending on severity, length of unconsciousness and the size of the primary and/or secondary trauma. The reduced or lost functions that the brain injury brings can to various extents influence individuals’ life situation. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe how individuals with a traumatic brain injury experience their life situation following the acute phase of the injury.  Method: Qualitative systematic literature study with a descriptive design. The result of the study is based on 10 scientific original articles from the databases PubMed and CINAHL. Results: Four main categories were identified: Complications, Another life, Encounter with healthcare and Daily life with traumatic brain injury. The most prominent complications were physical, cognitive and psychosocial difficulties. A changed self-perception and to accept the injury contributed to the sense of another life after the injury. Information, communication and support were crucial factors in the encounter with healthcare. Daily life with traumatic brain injury included the importance of relatives, working life and recovery which were important factors for a functional daily life. Conclusion: Individuals with traumatic brain injury experience life changes in varying degrees after the injury. Important aspects of the individuals’ life situation included: impact of complications, a feeling of a different life, encounters with healthcare and perceptions of daily life. The experiences of life changes may contribute to a feeling of not being able to fulfill life's duties. That may result in a lower sense of coherence. Adjustment and improvement of the conditions for these individuals require adequate information, communication, understanding and planning from healthcare and society.  Keywords: traumatic brain injury, adults, life change events, sense of coherence, qualitative systematic literature study Introduction: Traumatic brain injury is a worldwide leading cause of death and disability.

Närståendes upplevelser av att vårda en anhörig med cancer i livets slutskede i hemmet : en litteraturöversikt / Family’s experiences of caring for a relative with cancer at the end of life at home : a literature review

Mahne, Fanny, Ohlsson Moberg, Sofie January 2021 (has links)
Bakgrund: Varje år behöver 70 000–75 000 människor palliativ vård, varav de flesta har en cancersjukdom. Närstående har en viktig och central del i palliativ vård och kan påverka den drabbades mående innebär att lindra symtom och lidande där fokus inte ligger på att bota sjukdomen. Sjuksköterskan har en viktig roll att stötta och involvera närstående i kommunikationen.  Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva närståendes upplevelser av att vårda en anhörig med cancer i livets slutskede i hemmet.   Metod: Metoden som valdes var en litteraturöversikt. Tio vetenskapliga artiklar inkluderades i resultatet. Artiklarna analyserades enligt Fribergs metod. Resultatartiklarna hade kvalitativ design och hämtades från CINAHL Complete och MEDLINE.   Resultat: Litteraturöversikten presenterades i tre teman och fem underteman. Det första temat innefattar att bli en vårdare, med undertemat ansvar att ständigt vara på vakt. Det andra temat innefattar känslor av vårdandet, med underteman stress och tiden nära döden. Det sista temat innefattar behov av stöd, med underteman stöd från familj och vänner, stöd från hälso-sjukvården.   Slutsats: Resultatet visade att närstående kände ett ansvar av att vårda sin anhörig, detta ansvar medförde bland annat att tunga beslut låg i deras händer angående anhörigas autonomi. Ansvaret bidrog även med negativa effekter både psykiskt och fysiskt i form av utmattning. Förberedelser inför döden visade sig vara en viktig del för närståendes mentala hälsa samt att stöd från familj, vänner och vårdpersonal framkom som betydelsefullt. / Background: Every year, 70 000–75 000 people need palliative care, most of them have cancer. Relatives have an important and central part in palliative care and can affect the victim's mood. Palliative care involves relieving symptoms and suffering where the focus is not on curing the disease. The nurse has an important role to support and involve relatives in the communication. Autonomy is seen as a difficult ethical dilemma in palliative care as the sufferer may have difficulty being self-determined in the final stages of life.   Aim: The purpose was to describe relatives' experiences of caring for a relative with cancer in the final stages of life at home.  Method: The chosen method was a literature review linked to Friberg. Ten scientific articles were included in the results. The articles were analyzed according to Friberg's method. The result articles had a qualitative design and were taken from CINAHL Complete and MEDLINE.   Results: The literature review was presented in three themes and five sub-themes. The first theme includes becoming a caregiver, with the sub-theme responsibility to be constantly on guard. The second theme includes emotions of care, with the sub-theme of stress, the time close to death. The last theme includes need for support, with the sub-theme support from family and friends, support from health care.   Conclusion: The results showed that close relatives felt a responsibility to care for their relatives, this responsibility meant, among other things, that heavy decisions were in their hands regarding the relatives' autonomy. The responsibility also contributed with negative effects both mentally and physically in the form of exhaustion. Preparations for death proved to be an important part of the mental health of close relatives and that support from family, friends and care staff emerged as meaningful.
