Living with endometriosis : A literature review of women’s experiences (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Endometrios är en kronisk sjukdom som drabbar en av tio kvinnor i fertil ålder globalt. Sjukdomen kännetecknas av svår smärta och problem med fertilitet och det finns för närvarande ingen fullständig bot.

Syfte: Att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med endometrios.

Metod: En litteraturöversikt genomfördes med syfte att beskriva och kartlägga den aktuella forskningen. För att identifiera vetenskapliga orginalartiklar utfördes sökningar i databaserna CINAHL Complete och PubMed. Nio kvalitativa artiklar inkluderades i resultatet. Data tematiserades baserat på likheter och skillnader i de inkluderade artiklarnas resultat.

Resultat: Analysen resulterade i tre huvudteman: Smärta och andra symtoms dess genomgripande påverkan på livet, Utmaningar i möten med vården och Kvinnlig identitet och intima relationer.

Slutsats: Ett helhetsperspektiv som tar hänsyn till de drabbade kvinnornas unika behov är centralt för att erbjuda en professionell och empatisk vård för kvinnor med endometrios.
