Patients experience of living with IBS : Healthcare encounter & impact on quality of life from a patient perspective (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: IBS är ett syndrom som diagnostiseras baserat på upplevda symtom. Dessa är huvudsakligen buksmärta samt tarmtömningsproblematik i form av diarréer eller obstipation. Bristen på kunskap kring IBS inom vården orsakar en otillräcklig vård som drabbar patienten och begränsar vårdkvalitén. Eftersom det saknas ett botemedel för IBS ligger sjuksköterskans omvårdnadsarbete i fokus för att lindra patienters besvär samt bidra till hälsofrämjande insatser. Syfte: Att belysa patienters upplevelse av att leva med IBS. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie med induktiv ansats. Studien bygger på nio kvalitativa originalartiklar som analyserades utifrån Braun & Clarkes tematiska analysmodell. Resultat: I resultatet identifierades fyra teman med 13 underteman. Temat ’En opålitlig kropp’ beskriver patienters upplevelse av oförutsägbarhet, begränsad spontanitet och förlorad fysisk kontroll. Temat ’Mötet med vården’ handlar om att förminskas i sina symtom, uppleva brist på förståelse, dömas för normavvikande beteende och få inkonsekvent information. Temat ’Påverkan på välbefinnandet’ beskriver rädsla, kroppsligt obehag, skuld & skam samt uppoffring. Temat ’Metoder för att hantera IBS’ handlar om att finna acceptans och hitta personliga lösningar. Slutsats: Patienter upplever en brist i vårdens bemötande vilket drabbar patienten i sin IBS samt sin tilltro till vårdens kapacitet. Studien resulterade även i en klarhet gentemot IBS påverkan på patienters livskvalitet. 

Abstract [en]

Background: IBS is a syndrome that is diagnosed based on experienced symptoms. These symptoms are mainly abdominal pain and problems with emptying the bowel. The lack of knowledge about IBS within healthcare leads to inadequate care that affects the patient and limits the quality of care. Since there is no cure for IBS, the nurse's care work is central to alleviate patients' symptoms and contribute to health-promotion efforts. Aim: To illustrate patients' experience of living with IBS. Method: A general literature study with an inductive qualitative approach. The study is based on nine qualitative original articles that were analyzed based on Braun & Clarke's thematic analysis model. Results: The results identified four themes with 13 subthemes. 'An unreliable body' describes unpredictability, limited spontaneity, and lost control. 'The healthcare encounter’ relates to feeling minimized, misunderstood, judged, and receiving inconsistent information. 'Impact on the well-being' involves fear, discomfort, guilt, shame, and sacrifice. 'Methods for managing IBS' focuses on finding acceptance and personal solutions. Conclusion: Patients experience a lack of care, which affects their IBS and their confidence in the expertise of the care. The study also contributes to a clarification that IBS is affecting the patients' quality of life.
