Patients' experiences of carrying on multi-resistant bacteria -  a literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund:  Multiresistenta bakterier (MRB) förekommer i hela världen och klassas  som ett globalt folkhälsoproblem. Kunskapen om multiresistenta bakterier är låg både hos  patienter och sjukvårdspersonal. För att minska risken för spridning behövs mer kunskap och om vikten av följsamhet till basala hygienrutiner. Överdriven användning av antibiotika är en  bidragande orsak till den ökade antibiotikaresistensen i världen.  Sjukvårdspersonal upplever svårigheter med att vårda patienter med MRB och bristande kunskap hos kan ses som bidragande faktor till detta. Att undvika smittspridning är en stor del i hur patienterna ska hanteras inom vården.  Syfte: Att sammanställa patienters upplevelser av att leva med multiresistenta bakterier såsom Meticillinresistenta Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycinresistenta enterokocker (VRE) och Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL).  Metod: Studien har genomförts som en litteraturöversikt baserat på 15 vetenskapliga artiklar. Artiklarna är av kvalitativ, kvantitativ och mixad ansats. Databaser som använts är CINAHL, PubMed och Scopus.  Resultat: Resultatet presenteras i fyra olika kategorier: Upplevelser av MRB i vardagen, Upplevelser av att få bristande information, Upplevelser av bemötande från sjukvårdspersonal och Upplevelser av stigmatisering. Konklusion: Stigmatisering, oro och ångest genomsyrade resultatet av denna litteraturöversi kt. Sjukvårdspersonalens bemötande spelar en viktig roll i hur patienten hanterar att bli diagnostiserad med multiresistenta bakterier och sen att leva med multiresistenta bakterier.  Okunnig sjukvårdspersonal gav upphov till ökat lidande för patienterna.

Abstract [en]

Background: Multi-resistant bacteria (MRB) occur worldwide and are classified as a global public health problem. Knowledge of multi-resistant bacteria is low in both patients and healthcare professionals. To reduce the risk of spreading, more knowledge and the importance of adherence to basic hygiene routines are needed. Excessive use of antibiotics is a contributing cause of the increased antibiotic resistance in the world. Healthcare professionals experience difficulties in caring for patients with MRB and lack of knowledge can be seen as a contributing factor. Avoiding the spread of infection is a major part of how patients should be managed in healthcare situations.  Aim: To compile patients' experiences of living with multi-resistant bacteria such as Multiresistant staphylococcus aureus, Vancomycin-resistant enteroccal and Extended-spectrum betalactamase  Method: The study has been conducted as a literature review based on 15 scientific articles.  The articles are of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method. Databases used in the search  are CINAHL, PubMed and Scopus.  Results: The results are presented in four different categories: Experiences of multi-resistant bacteria in everyday life, Experiences of lack of information, Experiences of treatment from healthcare professionals and Experiences of stigmatization. Conclusion: Stigmatization, anxiety and concern permeated the results of this literature review. The care of healthcare personnel plays an important role in how the patient handles being diagnosed with and then living with multidrug resistant bacteria. Unskilled healthcare  professionals caused increased suffering for patients.
