Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att beskriva vilket stöd gastric bypass-opererade upplever att de behöver före och efter sin operation. Studien hade en beskrivande design och sjutton gastric bypass-opererade svenskar deltog. Data insamlades genom semistrukturerade frågeformulär via mail och materialet analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet redovisas i tre kategorier och ett tema. Kategorin Känna sig utelämnad beskriver hur deltagarna upplevde ett bristande stöd från sjukvården inför sin operation. I kategorin framkom en saknad av psykologiskt stöd både före och efter gastric bypass-operationen. Kategorin beskriver också den bristande uppföljningen efter operationen. Kategorin Känna trygghet skildrar betydelsen av information före ingreppet och vikten av att vara förberedd på livet efter operationen. Kategorin visar hur viktigt stöd från sjukvården, anhöriga och andra opererade var för att känna trygghet. Den tredje kategorin, Stå på egna ben, visar att de gastric bypass-opererade tog eget ansvar för att söka information före och efter operationen och att de då inte var i behov av stöd från sjukvården. Temat Så stor, men ändå så liten - att ta eget ansvar för ett livsavgörande beslut, men ändå behöva stöd med förbindelsen framkom ur kategorierna och beskriver vilket stöd de gastric bypass-opererade upplever att de behöver före och efter sin operation.

Abstract [en]

The aim of the study was to describe what kind of support patients who undergo gastric bypass-surgery needs. The study had a descriptive design and seventeen Swedish participants who’ve had a gastric bypass were recruited. Data were collected by a semi structured question form through mail and the material was analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The result is presented in three categories and one theme. The category Feeling left out describes how the participants experienced a lack of support before their surgery. In this category a lack of psychological support, both before and after surgery, came out. The category also describes the loss of follow-up after surgery. The category Feeling at ease describes the importance of information before surgery and to be prepared for life after surgery. The category also shows the importance of support from healthcare services, relatives and other people who’ve had a gastric bypass, to feel at ease. The third category, To stand on my own two feet, showed that the participants took own responsibility to get as much information as possible before and after surgery and that they were not in need of support from healthcare services. The theme So big, but still so small – to take own responsibility for a life changing decision, but still be in need of support with the connection emerges from the categories and describes the patients need of support before and after gastric bypass.
