Patients' experiences of living with diabetic foot ulcers : A literature review with qualitative design (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) är en kronisk sjukdom som kan påverka flera kroppsliga funktioner, vilket i sin tur kan leda till svåra komplikationer. En av dessa är svårläkta sår, vilket är förknippat med en omfattande börda för patienterna. Syfte: Att beskriva patienters upplevelser av att leva med diabetiska fotsår vid DM typ 1 och 2. Metod: Studien genomfördes genom en litteraturöversikt med kvalitativ metod. Studien baserades på elva vetenskapliga artiklar som återfanns genom artikelsökning i databaserna CINAHL och MEDLINE samt manuell sökning. Artiklarna analyserades enligt analys av Friberg i fem steg. Resultat: Litteraturöversikten resulterade i fyra huvudteman; upplevelser av fysisk påverkan, upplevelser av ekonomisk påverkan, upplevelser av social påverkan och upplevelser av emotionell påverkan. Vidare sammanställdes nio subteman. Slutsats: Diabetiska fotsår hos personer med diabetes påverkar psykologiska och sociala aspekter, begränsar rörlighet och orsakar funktionsnedsättning. Brist på stöd leder till ensamhet och börda, medan smärta hindrar social interaktion. Sjuksköterskor kan med kunskap och gott bemötande bidra till ökad kunskap om egenvård och psykosociala effekter och främjar patientens självständighet, hälsa och välbefinnande.

Abstract [en]

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that can affect several bodily functions, which in turn can lead to severe complications. One of these are hard-to-heal wounds, which is associated with an extensive burden for the patients. Aim: To describe patients’ experience of living with diabetic foot ulcers in DM type 1 and 2. Method: The study was conducted through a literature review using a qualitative method. The study was based on eleven scientific articles that were found through an article-search in the databases CINAHL and MEDLINE as well as through manual search. The articles were analyzed according to analysis by Friberg in five steps. Results: The literature review resulted in four main themes; experiences of physical impact, experiences of financial impact, experiences of social influence and experiences of emotional impact. Furthermore, nine subthemes were compiled. Conclusion: Diabetic foot ulcers in people with diabetes affect psychological and social aspects, limits mobility and cause disability. Lack of support leads to loneliness and a feeling of being a burden to others, while pain hinders social interaction. With knowledge and compassion, nurses can contribute to increase the patient’s knowledge about self-care and psychosocial effects which can promote the patient's independence, health, and well-being.
