Living with endometriosis : A literature study of women's experiences (English)
Abstract [sv]
Bakgrund: Endometrios är en östrogenberoende sjukdom som orsakar att livmoderslemhinnan växer utanför livmoderhålan. Detta leder till smärta och påverkar kvinnors livskvalitet.
Syfte: Att beskriva kvinnors erfarenheter av att leva med endometrios.
Metod: En litteraturöversikt baserad på analys av kvalitativ forskning användes för att bidra till evidensbaserad omvårdnad.
Resultat: Studien visade att kvinnor med endometrios upplever begränsningar i vardagslivet. Smärta var det vanligaste symptomet, och kvinnorna rapporterade bristande kunskap både hos sig själva och i samhället. Normaliseringen av symptomen ledde till att de ofta inte blev trodda.
Slutsats: För att möta behoven hos kvinnor med endometrios krävs en ökad medvetenhet samt en mer personcentrerad vård.
Abstract [en]
Background: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease, meaning that the endometrial tissue grows outside the uterine cavity. The condition causes pain in women and affects their quality of life.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe women's experiences of living with endometriosis.
Method: This is a literature review. A method for contributing to evidence-based nursing care was used based on the analysis of qualitative research.
Results: The results of the study showed that women with endometriosis experienced limitations in their daily lives. Pain was the most common symptom, and the women experienced a lack of knowledge about themselves and their surroundings. They risked being disbelieved due to the normalization of their symptoms.
Conclusion: There is a need for increased awareness and person-centered care to effectively address the needs of women with endometriosis and improve their quality of life.
