Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Cancersmärta är ett växande problem för både vårdpersonal och patienter, eftersom cancer drabbar allt fler människor. Tidigare forskning visar att sjuksköterskor uttrycker en brist på kunskap och insikt i cancersmärta och patienters erfarenheter av cancersmärta, särskilt i eget hem. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva patienters upplevelser av cancersmärta i hemmet. Metod: En kvalitativ litteraturstudie, som inkluderar 13 artiklar analyserade utifrån Evans beskrivande syntes med en berättande sammanfattning. Resultat: Resultatet från den här studien består av tre huvudteman och sex subteman. Huvudteman inkluderar Upplevelser av att förlora kontroll, Upplevelser av oförståelse och Upplevelser av självstyre av smärtvården. Slutsats: Patienterna upplevde att cancersmärtan resulterade i en förlust av kontroll eftersom de upplevde att smärtan begränsade deras liv samt att vara hjälplös. De upplevde en oförståelse vilket omfattade att ha svårt att tala om och förstå smärtan. De uttryckte upplevelser av självstyre i smärtvården både genom att på egna sätt hantera och uthärda smärtan och att vara den som kontrollerar smärtbehandlingen.

Abstract [en]

Background: Cancer pain is a growing problem for both our personal and patients, where cancer affects more and more people. Previous research shows that nurses express a lack of knowledge and insight into cancer pain and patients' experiences of cancer pain, especially in their own homes. Aim: The aim of this study is to describe patients' experiences of cancer pain at home. Method: A qualitative literature study, using 13 articles analyzed based on Evans' description, appeared with a narrative summary. Results: The results of this study consist of three main themes and six sub-themes. Main themes include experiences of losing control, experiences of lack of understanding and experiences of autonomy in pain-care. Conclusion: The patients experienced that the cancer pain resulted in a loss of control when they experienced limitations of their lives, as well as a life of helplessness. They experienced a lack of understanding of their pain which included having difficulties in talking about and understanding the pain. They expressed experiences of autonomy in their pain-care by managing and enduring their pain in their own ways as well as being in control of their pain treatment.
