Quality of life in relatives of people with cognitive disease : A qualitative interview study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund Befolkningen i Sverige blir äldre och fler drabbas av kognitiv sjukdom, vilket innebär att antalet anhöriga som vårdar personer med kognitiv sjukdom i hemmet kommer att öka.

SyfteVar att beskriva livskvalitet hos anhörig till person med kognitiv sjukdom. 

MetodKvalitativ intervjustudie. Anhöriga som levt med personer med kognitiv sjukdom har intervjuats. Intervjuerna analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys.

ResultatDenna studies resultat presenteras i två huvudkategorier: “Faktorer som möjliggör upplevelse av livskvalitet” och ”Anhörigas psykosociala och fysiska utmaningar”.

SlutsatsDet är viktigt för anhörigas livskvalitet att de får stöd och hjälp i sin situation, både av vården och närstående. Även sociala relationer och att få bestämma över sig själv och sin tid är viktigt för god livskvalitet. Att bli belastad både psykiskt och fysiskt samt att uppleva att relationen till personen med kognitiv sjukdom förändras, sänker livskvaliteten.

Abstract [en]

Background The population in Sweden is getting older and more people are affected by cognitive disease, which means that the number of relatives who care for people with cognitive disease at home will increase.

AimThe aim of the study was to describe the quality of life of relatives of a person with cognitive disease.

Method Qualitative interview study. Relatives who have lived with people with cognitive disease have been interviewed. The interviews were analyzed with qualitative content analysis. 

ResultsThe results of this study are presented in two main categories: "Factors that enable the experience of quality of life" and "Relatives' psychosocial and physical challenges".

ConclusionsIt is important for the quality of life of relatives that they receive support and help in their situation, both from the health care system and their relatives. Social relationships and being able to decide over oneself and one's time are also important for a good quality of life. To be burdened both mentally and physically, and to experience that the relationship with the person with cognitive disease changes, lowers the quality of life.
