Abstract [en]

Background: Three percent of all adults in Sweden have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis. ADHD diagnosis can cause suffering in the individual due to social dysfunction, anxiety, depression, drug abuse and criminality and more. To be able to respond to these co- morbidities, it is required to have understanding and awareness of the patient's experience of living with ADHD. 

Purpose: The purpose is to investigate adults' experiences of living with ADHD 

Method: A structured litterateur review was conducted where scientific articles were searched in different databases: CIHNAL, PubMed and PsycInfo. The articles were Quality reviewed in accordance with the Bettany-Saltikov & McSherry review template. The data was analyzed in accordance with Graneheim and Lundman content analysis. 

Results: Two main categories are identified in adults' experiences of living with ADHD: Experience that evokes negative emotions and Experience that evokes positive emotions. These two main categories are then organized into three subcategories. Conclusion: In summary, the results showed that ADHD causes disease suffering as related to the symptoms, life suffering due to the failure of relationship, education and professional occupation and care suffering due to the waiting time to receive treatment and care, lack of guidance and stigma. By recognizing these sufferings first, the healthcare staff can support the individual with ADHD in a good way.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Tre procent av alla vuxna i Sverige har Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnos. ADHD-diagnos kan orsaka lidande hos individen på grund av social dysfunktion, ångest, depression, drogmissbruk och kriminalitet med mera. För att kunna bemöta dessa individers samsjukligheten ställs krav att ha förståelse och medvetande om patientens upplevelse av att leva med ADHD. 

Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka vuxna individers upplevelser av att leva med ADHDMetod: En strukturerad litteraturgenomgång genomfördes där vetenskapliga artiklar söktes i olika databaser: CIHNAL, PubMed och PsycInfo. Artiklarna kvalitetsgranskades i enlighet med Bettany- Saltikov & McSherry gransknings mall. Datan analyserades i enlighet med Graneheim och Lundman latent innehållsanalys. 

Resultat: Två Huvudkategorier identifieras i vuxnas upplevelser av att leva med ADHD: Upplevelse som framkallar negativa känslor och Upplevelse som framkallar positiva känslor. Därefter organiserats dessa två huvudkategorier en i tre underkategorier. 

Slutsats: Sammanfattningsvis visade resultaten att ADHD orsakar sjukdomslidande som relaterad till symtomen, livslidande på grund av misslyckandet i relation, utbildning och professionellt yrke och vårdlidande på grund av väntetiden att få behandling och omvårdnad, bristande vägledning och stigma. Genom att först dessa lidande kan vårdpersonalen stödja individen med ADHD på ett bra sätt.
