Hemodialysis – a part of life : Patients' experience of living with hemodialysis (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: I Sverige drabbas varje år 600 personer av kronisk njursvikt. Ett tillstånd som bidrar till att blodet inte renas från restprodukter. För att ersätta njurarnas förlorade funktion kan hemodialys utföras, en behandling som blir en stor del av patienternas vardag. Med god insikt kring hemodialys kan sjuksköterskan möta patientens sjukdomsupplevelse och lidande och så långt som möjligt lindra detta genom adekvata åtgärder. Syftet: Syftet var att belysa patienters upplevelse av att leva med hemodialys i det dagliga livet. Metod: Studien är en allmän litteraturstudie som beskriver och analyserar ett antal artiklar inom ett specifikt område. Resultat: Det framkom att dialyspatienters vardag upplevdes stressig på grund av den tid behandlingen krävde. De upplevde osäkerhet kring behandlingen vilket gav dem känslan av brist på kontroll. En känsla av ständig trötthet infann sig också hos patienterna, men träning under behandlingstiden hade en positiv inverkan och minskade tröttheten. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskan måste få större kunskap kring kommunikationens betydelse och se till individen och inte bara sjukdomen.

Abstract [en]

Background: In Sweden, 600 people suffer from chronic renal failure every year. This is a condition that contributes to the blood not being cleaned from decay products. To replace the lost function of the kidneys a hemodialysis may be used, a treatment that becomes a large part of the daily life for the patients. With good insight surrounding hemodialysis the nurse can meet patients‟ experience of the illness and suffering, and alleviate this as much as possible with adequate actions. Aim: To highlight the patients‟ experience of living with hemodialysis in the daily life. Method: The study was a general literature study, describing and analyzing a number of articles within a specific area. Results: It was discovered that the everyday life of a dialysis patient was experienced as stressful because of the time consuming treatment. They experienced insecurity surrounding the treatment which caused a feeling of lack of control. A feeling of constant fatigue was also experienced, but exercise during the time of the treatment had a positive effect and decreased the fatigue. Conclusion: The nurse needs greater knowledge surrounding the significance of communication and to look to the individual and not just the disease.
