Abstract [sv]

Hälsa anses vara en mänsklig rättighet och är svårdefinierbart då det upplevs olika av olika individer. Psykisk ohälsa behöver inte innebära en psykiatrisk diagnos . Den definieras snarare utifrån hur man hanterar olika livssituationer som kan stötas på under livets gång. Schizofreni är en livslång och allvarlig sjukdom som påverkar hur personen tänker, känner och beter sig. De svåra symtomen som sjukdomen innebär kan vara begränsande för den drabbade, vilket kan få konsekvenser för den fysiska hälsan. Syftet med studien var att beskriva hur litteraturen skildrar den fysiska hälsan hos vuxna personer med schizofreni. Metoden som användes var en allmän litteraturstudie där 11 kvantitativa studier analyserades. I resultatet framkom två kategorier med ett antal underkategorier: Riskfaktorer för sjukdom hos vuxna personer med schizofreni och Vanliga somatiska sjukdomar hos vuxna personer med schizofreni. En rad olika bidragande faktorer för ohälsa förekommer hos personer med schizofreni, vilket leder till att de drabbas av fysisk ohälsa. Slutsatsen är att personer med schizofreni löper större risk att drabbas av fysisk ohälsa på grund av olika livsstilsfaktorer.

Abstract [en]

Health is considered a human right and is difficult to define as it is experienced differently by different individuals. Mental illness does not necessarily mean a psychiatric diagnosis. It is defined rather from how to handle different situations that people may encounter throughout life. Schizophrenia is a lifelong and serious disease that affects how the person thinks, feels and behaves. The severe symptoms of the disease may be limiting for the affected person, which may have implications for physical health. The purpose of this study was to describe how the literature portrays the physical health of adults with schizophrenia. The method used was a literature review where 11 quantitative studies were analyzed. The results revealed two categories with several subcategories: Risk factors for disease in adults with schizophrenia and Common illnesses in adults with schizophrenia. A variety of contributing factors for the illness occurs in people with schizophrenia, with the result that they suffer from physical illness. The conclusion is that people with schizophrenia are at greater risk of physical ill health because of various lifestyle factors.
