Patient´s experience of living with heart failure and self care (English)
Abstract [sv]

Att leva med hjärtsvikt innefattar flera olika utmaningar eftersom det är en allvarlig diagnos med många olika symtom som kan begränsa vardagslivet. Behandlingen består av flera delar med bland annat egenvård som är en del av patientutbildningen. Egenvård kan ge möjlighet för patienter att behandla symtom på egen hand och öka självständigheten. Sjuksköterskan kan finnas som stöd vid egenvård genom att informera och motivera. Syftet med studien är att belysa patientens upplevelse av egenvård vid hjärtsvikt. Metoden är en litteraturstudie med inriktning mot kvalitativa artiklar som sökts fram i CINAHL och MEDLINE. Därifrån valdes nio artiklar ut som svarade an på syftet. Resultatet visade varierade upplevelser av egenvård som grundades i patientens egenskaper. För att utföra egenvård krävdes motivation som utformades på olika sätt. Att ha kunskap och stöd var viktiga faktorer för att utföra egenvård, men många patienter upplevde brist på stöd från hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal och att vården inte var personcentrerad.

Abstract [en]

Living with heart failure involves several different challenges because it is a serious diagnosis with many different symptoms that can limit everyday life. The treatment consists of several parts, including self-care, which is part of patient education. Self-care can give patients the opportunity to treat symptoms on their own and increase independence. The nurse can provide support in self-care by informing and motivating. The purpose of the study is to shed light on the patient's experience of self-care in heart failure. The method is a literature study with a focus on qualitative articles searched in CINAHL and MEDLINE. From there, nine articles were selected that answered the purpose. The results showed varied experiences of self-care that were based on the patient's characteristics. In order to carry out self-care, motivation was required which was designed in different ways. Having knowledge and support were important factors in carrying out self-care, but many patients experienced a lack of support from healthcare professionals and that the care was not person-centered.
