Abstract [sv]

Infertilitet är en utbredd problematik som drabbar många par världen över. Olika behandlingsformer finns att tillgå för att hjälpa infertila par att uppnå en graviditet. IVF-behandling är en vanlig behandlingsform. Många studier visar att IVF-behandling påverkar kvinnan mer än mannen psykiskt. Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva hur kvinnor upplever processen att genomgå IVF-behandling. Metod: En litteraturstudie gjordes på tio kvalitativa artiklar för att besvara syftet. En innehållsanalys gjordes på dessa artiklar, där meningsbärande enheter identifierades i artiklarnas resultat. Dessa enheter kondenserades, grupperades och formade sub-kategorier och teman. Livsvärldsperspektivet användes som en teoretisk referensram. Resultatet av denna litteraturstudie blev sju teman; Tro på behandlingen; Okunskap; Påverkan på vardagen; Bemötande i relationer; Negativ hantering; Rädsla, samt Väntan. Slutsatser som drogs av denna litteraturstudie var att kvinnornas upplevelser var övervägande negativt präglade, men en tro på behandlingen var ändå en central upplevelse. Det är viktigt för berörda kvinnors omgivning att inneha ett livsvärldsperspektiv inför kvinnornas upplevelser av behandlingen. En ökad förståelse från kvinnornas omgivning skulle kunna ge kvinnorna bättre upplevelser av att genomgå behandlingen.

Abstract [en]

Infertility is a widespread problem that affects many couples worldwide. Various treatments are available to help infertile couples achieve conception, and IVF is a common form of treatment. The psychological impact of the IVF-treatment affects the woman more than the man. The aim of this study was to describe how women experience the process of going through IVF treatment. Method: A literature review was done on ten qualitative articles to answer the aim of the study. A content analysis was done on these articles, and meaningful units were identified in the articles‟ results. These units were condensed, grouped and then formed into sub-categories and themes. A Life-World perspective was used as a theoretical framework. The result of this study was seven themes: Faith in the treatment; Ignorance: The impact on daily life; Responding in relationships, Negative handling, Fear, and Wait. Conclusions of this study were that women's experiences were predominantly negatively characterized, but a faith in the treatment was still a central experience. It is important for the women‟s surroundings to hold a Life-World perspective to women's experiences of the treatment. A greater understanding from the women's surroundings may improve the women‟s experiences of going through the treatment.
