Younger persons' experiences of life after stroke (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Syftet var att belysa hur yngre personer efter stroke upplevde det dagliga livet. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie baserad på vetenskapliga artiklar gjordes. Bakgrund: I Sverige drabbas årligen 30 000 personer av stroke och uppskattningsvis lever 100 000 personer med något funktionshinder. Av de överlevande är 15-20 procent i arbetsför ålder. Stroke orsakar ett omfattande hjälpbehov hos de drabbade eftersom så många funktioner påverkas. Resultat: De som drabbas av stroke kan uppleva tiden efter som ett fysiskt och psykiskt lidande. Förändringar i den nya situationen är förenat med blandade känslor och upplevelser. Yngre personer lever ofta ett mer aktivt liv och vid insjuknande kan hela livssituationen förändras drastiskt. Ofta fick livet omvärderas och anpassning till den nya livssituationen var tvunget. Resultatdiskussion: Delaktighet i rehabiliteringen var viktigt för ett lyckat utfall. Trötthet var ett utbrett problem som ledde till många konsekvenser i vardagen. Dåligt välbefinnande skapade frågor och funderingar. Ett behov av information sågs och att vara delaktig under hela vårdprocessen var önskvärt. Slutsats: En medvetenhet hos vårdpersonal om de osynliga handikapp som förekommer samt ett lyhört förhållningssätt är viktigt för att kunna möta personen i den situation de befinner sig i. Att göra personer med stroke delaktiga i vården kan öka deras upplevelser av kontroll, meningsfullhet och livskvalitet.

Abstract [en]

Aim: The aim was to illustrate younger persons' experiences of daily life after stroke. Method: A review of the literature was conducted. Background: In Sweden 30 000 persons per year are having a stroke and approximately 100 000 persons are living with a post-stroke dysfunction. Of the survivors 15-20 percents are of working age. Result: Stroke often causes extensive needs of help from others. The persons hit by stroke could experience a suffering both physical and mental. Changes in the new situation were associated with mixed feelings and experiences. Younger persons often live a more active life and the illness may change the life situation dramatically. Often life had to be revalued and adapting to a new life situation was necessary. Discussion: Participation in rehabilitation was important for a successful outcome. Fatigue was a major problem that caused many consequences in daily life. Poor wellbeing created questions and thoughts. A need for information was seen and there was a desire of being participating in the caring. Conclusion: Awareness of invisible dysfunctions and an open mind is important to be able to meet the persons in the present situation. By involving persons with stroke in their caring it may increase their experiences of control, meaningfulness and quality of life.
