Sammanfattning

Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva hur individer som överlevt ett hjärtstopp samt individer som överlevt ett hjärtstopp och erhållit en ICD upplever sin livskvalitet utifrån ett fysiskt, psykiskt och socialt perspektiv. Vidare var syftet också att beskriva kvaliteten på de ingående artiklarna avseende undersökningsgrupp. Metod: Beskrivande litteraturstudie med 12 ingående resultatartiklar. Sökningar gjordes i databaserna Cinahl, PubMed och PsychINFO. Huvudresultat: Upplevelsen av livskvalitet påverkas ur flera aspekter hos individer som drabbats av hjärtstopp. Den fysiska förmågan var försämrad och med en för många uttalad trötthet försvårades det dagliga livet för dessa individer. Många upplevde oro och ångest och detta tillsammans med depression var en betydlig bidragande del till en minskad upplevelse av livskvalitet. Slutsats: Upplevelsen av livskvalitet är individuell och många upplever en sämre livskvalitet efter hjärtstoppet medan andra upplever att livet är lika bra som innan eller bättre efter hjärtstoppet. Sjuksköterskan har i sitt arbete ett stort ansvar att se till den enskilda individen och förmedla information, kunskap och hopp.

Abstract

Aim: To describe how individuals who have survived a cardiac arrest, and individuals who have survived a cardiac arrest and received an ICD perceive their quality of life from a physical, psychological and social perspective. Furthermore, the aim was also to describe the quality of the included articles relating to the investigation group.Methods: Descriptive literature review study of 12 articles detailed results. Searches were made in the databases Cinahl, PubMed and PsychInfo. Main results: The perception of quality of life is affected by several aspects in individuals suffering from cardiac arrest. The physical ability was impaired and many experienced an extreme fatigue hampered the daily lives of these individuals. Many felt anxiety and this along with depression was a significant contributing factor to a reduced perceived quality of life. Conclusion: The experience of life is individual and many experience a poorer quality of life after cardiac arrest, while others feel that life is as good as before or even better after the arrest. The nurse has a large responsibility to the individual and to convey information, knowledge and hope.
