Varför och hur söker människor psykoterapi? Upplevelser av skäl och sökprocess hos panikångestpatienter
(2022) PSPR14 20221Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- People generally follow a similar process when seeking professional care. Experience of what reasons they have for actually seeking help and their considerations during the process before they make the decision to seek help is, however, insufficiently researched. Hence, it is important to study this in order to find out people's experience of what reasons and considerations they have during the process leading up to this decision. This is done through a qualitative study of 32 transcribed interviews of respondents with panic disorder. The interviews are part of the material of a larger study about panic disorder made at Lund University, the POSE project. The 32 interviews are a randomized sample of the 221 patients included in the POSE... (More)

The 32 interviews are a randomized sample of the 221 patients included in the POSE project. The respondents in the project are between 18 and 70 years old. The interviews are the POSE project's six-month follow-up and are semi-structured. The survey is conducted using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to find out the respondents' experiences of their reasons for seeking help and how they experienced the process. Through coding in the research program NVivo, codes were generated which then in their turn generated overall themes. These codes and themes showed that people realize that the disease impact their life, and that the intrusive and stressful expressions of symptoms influence people to seek professional care. Experience of having an inherent desire to change one's life, to have received support or been given advice in some form, previously had professional care or counseling, or conducted own research regarding the diagnosis and care alternatives, all influenced the search process. The importance of understanding the reasons people have for seeking help should not be underestimated as this does not always correlate with the causes for their help-seeking. Understanding the reasons for clients’ help-seeking can facilitate designing treatment plans, improve alliance and keep clients in treatment. (Less)

- Människor följer ofta en liknande process när de söker sig till professionell vård. Upplevelser av vilka skäl de har för att söka rent faktiskt och vägen fram till att de tar beslutet att söka behövs det dock ytterligare forskning om. Därför är det viktigt att undersöka detta för att utröna människors upplevelse av vilka skäl och funderingar de har fram mot att beslutet att söka vård fattas. Detta görs genom en kvalitativ undersökning av 32 transkriberade intervjuer av respondenter med panikångestsyndrom. Intervjuerna är hämtade från materialet från en större studie vid Lunds universitet angående panikångestsyndrom, POSE-projektet.

Intervjuerna är hämtade från materialet från en större studie vid Lunds universitet angående panikångestsyndrom, POSE-projektet. De 32 intervjuerna är ett randomiserat urval av de 221 patienter som ingår i POSE-projektet. Respondenterna i projektet är mellan 18 och 70 år. Intervjuerna är POSE-projektets sexmånadersuppföljning och är semistrukturerade. Undersökningen utförs genom användning av ”Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis” för att utröna respondenternas upplevelse av sina skäl att söka hjälp och hur denna process tedde sig för dem. Genom kodning i forskningsprogrammet NVivo genererades koder som sedan i sin tur genererade övergripande teman. Dessa koder och teman visade att människor påverkas i sådan utsträckning av sjukdomens inverkan på livet och av inträngande och påfrestande symtomuttryck att de inser att behöva söka vård. Upplevelser av att ha en inneboende vilja att förändra sitt liv, att på något sätt fått stöd eller rådgivning, tidigare mött vården eller gjort egna efterforskningar kring diagnos och vårdalternativ, påverkade alla hur sökprocessen gick till. Vikten av att förstå vilka skäl människor har för att söka hjälp ska inte underskattas då detta inte alltid stämmer överens med orsakerna till deras sökande. Att förstå skälen till klienters sökande kan hjälpa utformande av behandlingsplaner, förbättra allians och behålla klienter i behandling. (Less)
