Abstract (Swedish)
Den stressrelaterade ohälsan har ökat såväl i Sverige som i övriga världen och däribland utmattningssyndrom som har ett långvarigt läkningsförlopp. Det pågår på olika ställen intensiv forskning kring vad som kan förändra och påverka sjukdomsförloppet vid utmattningssyndrom. Forskningen fokuserar i huvudsak på arbetsåtergång som mål med behandlingen.
Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att undersöka såväl patienters som psykoterapeuters upplevelse kring vad som är verksamt i en psykoterapi när man har fått diagnosen utmattningssyndrom. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fem patienter som går/har gått i terapi samt har utmattningssyndrom, samt intervjuer med fyra erfarna psykoterapeuter som jobbar med denna diagnos. Materialet... (More)

Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att undersöka såväl patienters som psykoterapeuters upplevelse kring vad som är verksamt i en psykoterapi när man har fått diagnosen utmattningssyndrom. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fem patienter som går/har gått i terapi samt har utmattningssyndrom, samt intervjuer med fyra erfarna psykoterapeuter som jobbar med denna diagnos. Materialet analyserades med tematisk, semantisk och induktiv analys varvid tio teman identifierades.
Studiens huvudsakliga resultat tydliggör patientens behov av att på en trygg plats få hjälp att få ihop och förstå det som händer under den tid det tar att läka.
Studien visade ett behov av ett mer diagnos- och individfokuserat fokus på den här målgruppen istället för metodfokuserat. Faktorer som vikten av en individcentrerad flexibel eklektisk behandlingsform med fokus på timing kring interventioner och dosering av dessa är central.
Vidare visade studien på den uttalade tröttheten som oftast har ett långvarigt läkningsförlopp. Dessa patienter hamnar i att prestera och vara duktiga i sin egen behandling med en oftast omedveten önskan om att prestera och leverera återhämtning vilket endast förlänger sjukdomsförloppet. Undersökningen identifierade även parallellprocessen av duktiga patienter och duktiga terapeuter. (Less)
Abstract
Stress-related illness has increased both in Sweden and abroad, among it burnout syndrome, which has a prolonged healing process.
Intense research is carried out worldwide on which factors can change and affect the course of the illness. The research is mainly focused on return to work as a goal of the treatment.
The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate both patients’ and psychotherapist’s experience on what is effective in a psychotherapy when you have been diagnosed with burnout syndrome.
Semistructured interviews were carried out with five patients who are/were in a psychotherapeutic process and have burnout syndrome, as well as interviews with four experienced psychotherapists who work with this diagnosis. The... (More)
Stress-related illness has increased both in Sweden and abroad, among it burnout syndrome, which has a prolonged healing process.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate both patients’ and psychotherapist’s experience on what is effective in a psychotherapy when you have been diagnosed with burnout syndrome.
Semistructured interviews were carried out with five patients who are/were in a psychotherapeutic process and have burnout syndrome, as well as interviews with four experienced psychotherapists who work with this diagnosis. The material was analyzed with thematical, semantical and inductive analysis whereby ten themes were identified.
The main results of the study points out the patient’s need to be in a safe environment and get help to bring everything together and understand the course of events during the time it takes to heal.
The study also showed a need for a more diagnosis- and individualcentred focus for this group of patients, instead of a focus on the method. Factors like the importance of an individualcentred flexible and eclectical form of treatment with timingfocused interventions and their dosage is central.
Further on, the study pointed to the expressed fatigue which often has a prolonged healing process.
These patients usually want, often subconsciously, to deliver results as a “good” patient to please the therapist during the treatment, which only prolongs the healing process.
This investigation also identified the parallel processes of “delivering patients” and “delivering therapists”. (Less)
