The young woman’s experiences of living with breast cancer : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Bröstcancer är idag den vanligaste cancerformen som drabbar kvinnor i världen. För unga kvinnor under 45 årsåldern riskerar endast 4-6% att drabbas av bröstcancer vilket utgör diagnosen till en ovanlig sjukdom. På grund av bröstcancerns svåra patologi och dess unika prognostik krävs särskild uppmärksamhet hos unga kvinnor då cancern påverkar flera aspekter på livet som fertilitet, familjeliv och karriär. 

Syfte: Syftet med litteraturöversikten var att beskriva den unga kvinnans upplevelser av att leva med bröstcancer. 

Metod: Studien är en kvalitativ litteraturstudie innefattande av tolv artiklar där en kvalitativ innehållsanalys tillämpats vid analysering av data. 

Resultat: Olika upplevelser som identifierades i de inkluderade artiklarna kunde sammankopplas under följande huvudkategorier: 1) Den unga kvinnans sexuella hälsa, 2) Ångest och livskris, 3) Den sociala aspekten. 

Slutsatser: Olika upplevelser identifierades hos unga kvinnor under deras bröstcancerdiagnos. För att öka sjuksköterskors förståelse för unga bröstcancerpatienter och möjliggöra implementationen av förbättrad vård bör sjuksköterskestudenter och nuvarande sjuksköterskor utbildas om omvårdnad vid unga bröstcancerpatienter.

Abstract [en]

Background: Breast cancer is today the most common form of cancer that affects women in the world. For young women under the age of 45, only 4-6% are at risk of suffering from breast cancer, which constitutes the diagnosis of an unusual disease. Due to the difficult pathology of breast cancer and its unique prognosis, special attention is required in young women as the cancer affects several aspects of life such as fertility, family life and career.

Aim: The purpose of the literature review was to describe the young woman's experiences of living with breast cancer.

Method: The study is a qualitative literature study comprising twelve articles where a qualitative content analysis is applied when analyzing the data.

Results: Different experiences identified in the included articles could then be linked under the following main categories: 1) The young woman's sexual health, 2) Anxiety and lifecrisis, 3) The social aspect.

Conclusion: Different experiences were identified in young women during their breast cancer diagnosis. In order to increase nurses' understanding of young breast cancer patients and enable the implementation of improved care, nursing students and current nurses should be educated about nursing care for young breast cancer patients.
