Women´s experiences of different type of support during and after breast cancer treatment (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: De senaste 20 åren har bröstcancer ökat med 1,3 % i Sverige. Under behandling och tiden efter krävs stort stöd från omgivningen då den drabbade försetts i en livskris. Stödet är individuellt och kan vara både emotionellt, psykosocialt och praktiskt. Syfte: Att belysa kvinnors upplevelse av olika typer av stöd under bröstcancerbehandling och tiden efter. Metod: Litteraturstudie baserad på 13 kvalitativa artiklar. Resultat: Kvinnorna kunde få stöd från olika personer i omgivningen och på olika sätt. Det som var gemensamt var att alla upplevde att de behövde mycket stöttning för att ta sig igenom sjukdomen. De flesta var nöjda med sin behandlingsperiod men de som inte fick rätt stöd önskade att de hade fått det. Diskussion: Det var viktigt för kvinnorna att få stöd under och efter en bröstcancerbehandling. Det som prioriterades var att bli lyssnad på, få relevant information, kunna ställa frågor och att någon brydde sig om dem. Slutord: Sjuksköterskan ställs inför en utmaning i mötet med en patient som är med om en svår livskris och ska försöka göra upplevelsen så bra som möjligt. Får patienten tillräckligt med stöd kan detta innebära att denna tar sig igenom sjukdomen lättare.

Abstract [en]

Background: In the past 20 years, breast cancer has increased by 1.3 % in Sweden. During the treatment, and the time after requires major support from the environment when the victim will be put in a life crisis. The support is individual and can be emotional, psychosocial and practical. Aim: To illustrate women´s experiences of different type of support during breast cancer treatment and the time after. Method: A literature study based on thirteen qualitative articles. Results: The women were able to get support from various people in the environment and in different ways. What was common was that all experienced that they needed much support to get through the disease. Most were satisfied with their treatment period and after, but those who did not get the right support wished they had got it. Discussion: It was important for women to get support during and after breast cancer treatment. The priority was to be heard, get relevant information, to get to ask questions and that someone cared about them. Conclusion: Nurses face a challenge in meeting with a patient with a severe life crisis and will try to make this experience as good as possible. When the patient gets enough support, this may mean that she comes through the disease easier.
