Patienters upplevelse av att vara drabbade av depression : En litteraturöversikt
Sammanfattning: Background: Depression is an increasing public health problem in the world that leads to suffering among people in terms of isolation. The number of depressed patients is growing. We as future nurses will meet these patients in care and therefore it is important to be aware of how they perceive their everyday lives, care and state to provide the best possible care. Aim: The aim was to illustrate the patient's experience of suffering from depression. Method: In this literature study, twelve scientific articles were analyzed according to Friberg’s method. These articles were retrieved from CINAHL, PubMed and PsycINFO that got reviewed and used to write the result. The starting point was Katie Eriksson's theory about care suffering. Results: In the result, four overall themes were identified, which one of themes had two subthemes and one had one subtitle. The first theme was the experience of not having control over oneself with subtitles: isolation and experiencing changed identity. Another theme was the desire to get more information with the subtitle: wanting to be involved in decision making. The third theme was the importance of trust and the last theme was of experiencing good or lack of skills in the staff. Discussion: The literature review discussed the patient's experiences of depression based on Katie Eriksson's theory about care suffering. It turned out that the patients felt isolated and insecure because of their lack of information about depression, the environment's view of their illness and the lack of knowledge of the care. In such a situation, suffering may come up according to Katie Eriksson.
