Women with endometriosis and their perception of treatment by health professionals : A qualitative literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Tio procent av kvinnor och flickor i fertil ålder drabbas av endometrios. Vid endometrios har vävnad eller endometrioshärdar växt till sig utanför livmodern, vilket resulterar i inflammation och tillväxt av nervändar. Laparoskopi och laparotomi används för att säkerställa eller utesluta en endometriosdiagnos. Analgetika används som om den basala smärtbehandlingen mot dysmenorré, det främsta symtomet.

Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva kvinnor med endometrios upplevelser av hälso- och sjukvårdens bemötande.

Metod: En kvalitativ litteraturöversikt genomfördes med en tematisk analys varav 13 artiklar analyserades.

Resultat: Ett tema och fyra subteman identifierades. Tema: Bemötande påverkar kvinnors självbild. Subteman: Invalidering av känslor och upplevelser, Normalisering av symtom, Hopplöshet relaterat till inadekvat vård orsakad av inkompetens, samt Bristande informationsgivning och vikten av lyhördhet.

Slutsats: Kunskapsbristen bidrog till invalidering av kvinnors känslor och upplevelser, normalisering av symtom, samt bristande lyhördhet och informationsgivning. Detta tillsammans med okunskap bidrog till både fel- och sen diagnostisering. Detta bidrog till negativa upplevelser av hälso- och sjukvården. Resultatet visade att ett fortsatt behov av vidare forskning inom syftet behövs.

Abstract [en]

Background: Ten percent of women and girls of childbearing age are affected by endometriosis. In endometriosis, tissue or endometrial lesions have grown outside the uterus, resulting in inflammation and growth of nerve endings. Laparoscopy and laparotomy are used to confirm or exclude a diagnosis of endometriosis. Analgesics are used as basic pain management for dysmenorrhea, the main symptom.

Purpose: The aim was to describe the perception of health care treatment among women with endometriosis.

Method: A qualitative literature review was conducted with a thematic analysis of which 13 articles were analyzed.

Results: One theme and four sub-themes were identified. Theme: Treatment affects women's self-image. Sub-themes: Invalidation of feelings and experiences, Normalization of symptoms, Hopelessness related to inadequate care caused by incompetence, and Lack of information and the importance of attentiveness. 

Conclusion: The lack of knowledge contributed to the invalidation of women's feelings and experiences, normalization of symptoms, and lack of sensitivity and information provision. This, together with the lack of knowledge, contributed to both misdiagnosis and late diagnosis. This contributed to negative experiences of healthcare. The results show that there is a continued need for further research within the research question.
