Self-reported quality of life in sepsis-survivors (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Sepsis är ett kritisk tillstånd som orsakas av ett systemiskt inflammatoriskt svar som kan leda till organsvikt. Mortaliteten är hög och komplikationer efter genomgången sepsis kan vara såväl fysisk som psykisk.

Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka hälsorelaterad livskvalitet hos patienter efter genomgången sepsis.

Metod: Allmän litteraturöversikt av tio kvantitativa artiklar med en tematisk innehållsanalys.

Resultat: Ett huvudtema och tre subteman identifierades. Livskvalitet utgjorde huvudtemat, med subteman Psykisk livskvalitet, Fysisk livskvalitet och Social livskvalitet. Resultatet påvisade signifikanta nedsättningar i livskvalitet hos patienter som överlevt sepsis direkt efter utskrivning. Fysiska nedsättningar som påverkat livskvaliteten var utmärkande hos patientgruppen, samtidigt som samtliga undersökta domäner förbättrades över tid.

Slutsats: Efter genomgången sepsis påverkas den hälsorelaterade livskvalitet både fysiskt, psykiskt och socialt. Genom dessa kunskaper kan sjuksköterskan personcentrera omvårdnaden och därmed främja patientens återhämtning.

Abstract [en]

Background: Sepsis is a critical condition caused by a systemic inflammatory response, which can cause organ failure. The condition has a high mortality rate and the complications can be physical and psychological.

Aim: The aim was to investigate sepsis-survivors health related quality of life [HRQoL].

Method: Literature review of ten quantitative articles with a thematic analysis.

Result: One main theme and three subthemes were identified. Quality of life constituted the main theme, with the subthemes Psychological quality of life, Physical quality of life and Social quality of life. The results demonstrated significant reductions in quality of life in sepsis-survivors directly after discharge from the hospital. Physical impairments which affected the quality of life were distinctive within the group of patients, while all of the researched domains improved over time.

Conclusion: The physical, mental and social quality of life were affected for patients after recovering from sepsis. With this knowledge it is possible for nurses to adapt nursing measures individually and facilitate the patients recovery.
