The experience of COPD exacerbation from a patient perspective (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Sjukdomen KOL är ett allvarligt sjukdomstillstånd som innebär andnöd, nedsatt livskvalitet och begränsad fysisk kapacitet. Det är en vanlig folksjukdom i Sverige och globalt kräver sjukdomen ungefär 3 miljoner liv varje år. Det är vanligt att få tillfälliga försämringar i sin KOL i form av exacerbationer och fler än 75 % av patienterna drabbas av detta. Ofta leder exacerbationer till högre risk för en sämre sjukdomsprognos samt att dö i förtid.

Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva patienters upplevelse av KOL-exacerbation.

Metod: Litteraturöversikt med kvalitativ metod och induktiv ansats. Efter kvalitetsgranskning inkluderades tolv artiklar. Dataanalysen genomfördes med Fribergs analysmodell för kvalitativ metoddesign.

Resultat: Resultatet omfattade tre huvudteman och åtta subteman. Huvudtemat Informatik med tillhörande subteman; Att bli lyssnad på, Att bli informerad och Bekräftelse. Huvudtemat Autonomi med subteman; Förlust av fysiska aspekter, Förlust av makt och kontroll och tredje huvudtemat Inre Emotionella Processer med tillhörande subteman; Ångest och oro, Rädsla samt Skuld och skam. 

Slutsatser: KOL-exacerbation är ett komplext sjukdomstillstånd som orsakar både fysiska och psykiska påfrestningar. Det finns därav utmaningar att vårda patienten ur ett helhetsperspektiv. Personcentrerad vård kan bidra till att patientens behov tillfredsställs även vid KOL-exacerbation.

Abstract [en]

Background: The disease COPD is a serious illness with shortness of breath, reduced quality of life and limited physical capacity. It is a common disease in Sweden as well as globally. Globally the disease claims approximately 3 million lives each year. It is common to have temporary worsening of their COPD called exacerbations and more than 75% of patients suffer from this. Exacerbations often lead to a higher risk of a worse prognosis of the disease and a premature death.

Aim: The experience of exacerbation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - from a patient perspective.

Methods: A literature review with qualitative method and inductive approach. Twelve articles were included after a quality review. The data analysis was conducted using Friberg's analysis model for qualitative method design.

Results: The result comprised three main themes and eight subthemes. The main theme Informatics with subthemes: Being listened to, Being informed and Acknowledgment. The main theme Autonomy with subthemes: Loss of physical aspects, Loss of power and control and the third main theme Inner emotional processes with subthemes: Anxiety and worry, Fear and Guilt and shame. 

Conclusions: COPD exacerbation has a negative affect on both the physical and mental health and implies a complex medical condition. There are challenges in caring for the patient from a holistic perspective. Person-centered care can help to meet the patient's needs even during an COPD exacerbation.
