Patient experiences of undergoing dialysis – A Literature Review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund:

Dialysbehandling är den vanligaste behandlingsmetoden för patienter i de senare stadierna av njursvikt, som är en allt vanligare sjukdom i världen. Det finns därför ett ökande behov för vårdpersonal och samhället i stort att lära sig om denna patientgrupp, för att på bästa möjliga sätt kunna möta deras behov.

Syfte:

Syftet är att beskriva patienters upplevelse av att genomgå dialysbehandling.

Metod:

Detta arbetes design är en litteraturöversikt bestående av 16 artiklar från databaserna PubMed och CINAHL.

Resultat:

Patienter berättade om kroppsliga besvär i samband med dialysbehandlingen. Fokuset i det de berättade låg dock på förlusten i vardagen efter påbörjad behandling, att ständigt tvingas anpassa sitt liv efter behandlingen och förlusten av sin forna identitet som resultat av detta.

Slutsats:

Upplevelserna som patienterna beskrev verkade ändras över tid, och vårdpersonal i sin yrkesroll kan ha inverkan på hur denna process utvecklas.

Abstract [en]

Backgrund:

Dialysis is the most common form of treatment for patients suffering from end stage renal disease, an increasingly common ailment throughout the world. As such, there is a growing need for health care personell and society at large to learn about this group of patients to provide the best care possible.

Aim:

The aim of this study is to describe the experiences of patients undergoing dialysis.

Method:

The design of this study is a literature review consisting of 16 articles aquired from databases PubMed and CINAHL.

Result:

Patients described physical issues related to the treatment. But patients stories focused on the loss of everyday life, always having to shape their lives around the treatment, och the loss of their former identity as a result.

Conclusion:

The experiences described by patients seemed to change over time, and healthcare personell play a role in how this process develops.
