When normalization of pain goes unheard - who will listen? : A literature review of women with endometriosis (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Cirka en av tio kvinnor har sjukdomen endometrios. Endometrios innebär att livmoderslemhinna börjat växa på andra platser än i livmodern, detta skapar en kronisk inflammation som ofta orsakar buksmärta. Smärta hos kvinnor normaliseras ofta inom vården vilket leder till att diagnos av endometrios tar åratal att fastställa.

Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva hur kvinnor med endometrios upplever bemötandet i vården.

Metod: Som metod valdes en litteraturöversikt där resultatet baserades på tio kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar som hämtades från databaserna PubMed och Cinahl Complete samt från en manuell sökning.

Resultat: Tre huvudteman identifierades: Att behöva kämpa för sin vård, Lång väntan på diagnos och Att tvivla på sjukvården.

Sammanfattning: Kvinnor med kronisk smärta blir inte tagna på allvar inom vården. Smärta normaliseras både i samhället och i vården, kvinnorna med endometrios tvingas gång på gång söka sjukvård då ingen tar dem på allvar. Kvinnorna upplever överlag negativt bemötande inom vården och att de behöver kämpa för att bli lyssnade till och få den vård de desperat behöver.

Abstract [en]

Background: One of ten women suffer from endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition where the lining of the womb starts to grow outside the uterus, thus creating a cronic inflammation that leads to severe abdominal pain. Womens pain is often normalized in healthcare which leads to years of struggle before she finally get the diagnosis.

Aim: The aim was to decribe how women with endometriosis experience the personal treatment in healthcare.

Method: A literature study was chosen where the result is based on ten qualitative scientific articles that were found in the databases: PubMed and Cinahl Complete, along with a manual search.

Results: Three main findings were identified: The need to fight for healthcare, Long wait for diagnosis and To question the healthcare.

Summary: Women with cronic pain are not being taken serious by healthcare. Pain is being normalized in our society but also in healthcare. The women with endometriosis are forced to repeatedly search for help, but without being heard. The women experience mainly negative personal treatment in healthcare and the need to fight to make someone listen to finally get the help they desperately need.
