Abstract [sv]

Sammanfattning Syftet med studien var att beskriva anhörigas upplevelser av att leva tillsammans med eller i närheten av en person som har drabbats av Alzheimers sjukdom. Studien utgick från ett socialt, fysiskt och psykiskt perspektiv. Studien byggde på 18 vetenskapliga artiklar som kvalitet granskades med hjälp av en granskningsmall. Artiklar söktes genom databaserna Academic Search Elite, Cinahl och Vård I Norden Online. Urvalskriterierna var att artiklarna svarade på studiens syfte, var skrivna på svenska eller engelska och publicerade mellan åren 2000 till 2008. Resultatet visade att anhöriga ställs inför en dramatisk förändring som är krävande, utmanande och de anhöriga upplevde oro, sorg, stress och skuld. Det sociala nätverket minskade och det leder oftast till ensamhet och isolering. Resultatet visade också att anhöriga är i behov av stöd från släkt och vänner samt från hälso- och sjukvården. Sammanfattningsvis upplevde majoriteten av anhöriga en ökad belastning av att vara anhörig till en person med Alzheimers sjukdom.

Nyckelord: Alzheimers sjukdom, familj, anhöriga, upplevelser.
