Factors affecting hope in cancer patients - a literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund Cancer är ett brett begrepp som oftast har förknippats med död och där hoppet minskats. I tidigare generationer så dog många i cancer, men forskningen kring cancer har lett till att sjukvården idag kan behandla och i vissa fall bota cancer. Överlevnaden i cancer har ökat markant vilket ger mer hopp till cancersjuka. Forskning visar att cancersjuka får mer hopp om de har bra kunskaper samt information om cancer. Personer med cancer som inte har hopp tappar oftast både motivationen och följsamheten till behandling samt åtgärder som kan lindra eller bota cancersjukdom. Syfte Att beskriva faktorer som påverkar hopp hos cancersjuka patienter. Metod Studien genomfördes som en strukturerad litteraturstudie med inslag av den metodologi som används vid systematiska översikter. Databaserna som användes var PubMed och CINHAL. Resultat Från analysen identifierades tre teman: Socialt nätverk, fysiska faktorer samt mentala faktorer. Genom att cancerpatienter har ett bra socialt nätverk visar studier på att nivån av hopp ökar då dessa patienter får ett bra stöd från sina anhöriga. Att fokusera på att behandla smärta hos cancerpatienter ökar nivån av hopp gentemot de cancerpatienter som lider av smärta. Acceptans är en viktig aspekt hos cancersjuka då detta ger ett ökat hopp. Cancerpatienter kan känna hopp genom att ha ett socialt nätverk, en religiös tro eller om cancerpatienter är fri från psykiska samt fysiska besvär. Slutsats Det är av vikt att behandla/vårda de områden som gör att cancerpatienten inte känner hopp. Utan hopp tappar cancerpatienten livsgnistan samt blir mindre motståndskraftig mot sin cancerdiagnos.  

Abstract [en]

Background Cancer is a broad term that has often been associated with death where hope has been lost. In previous generations, many people died of cancer, but research into cancer has led to healthcare today being able to treat and in some cases cure cancer. Survival in cancer has increased significantly, which gives cancer patients more hope. Research show that cancer patients gain more hope if they have good knowledge and information about cancer. People with cancer who have no hope often lose both motivation and adherence to treatment and measure that can alleviate or cure cancer. Aim To describe factors that influence hope in cancer patients. Method The study was conducted as a structured literature study with elements of the methodology used in systematic reviews. The databases used were PubMed andCINAHL. Results From the analysis, three themes were identified: Social network, physical factors and mental factors. Because cancer patients who have a good social network, studies show that the level of hope increases when these patients receive good support from their relatives. Focusing on treating pain in cancer patients increases the level of hope for those cancer patients who suffer from pain. Acceptance is an important aspect for cancer patients as this gives increased hope. Cancer patients can feel hope by having a socialnetwork, a religious belief or if cancer patients are free from psychological and physical ailments. Conclusions It is important to treat/care for the areas that cause the cancer patient to feel no hope. Without hope, the cancer patient loses the spark of life and becomes less resistant to his cancer diagnosis.
