Abstract (Swedish)
Bakgrund: Menopaus är en naturlig del av kvinnors åldrande och infaller runt 40–60 års ålder. Upplevelsen av symtomens påverkan i kroppen under denna period är högst individuell. Kvantitativa studier visar att klimakteriet har påverkan på delaktighet i aktivitet men studierna visar inte hur kvinnor upplever klimakteriets påverkan.
Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka kvinnors upplevelse av delaktighet i aktivitet som genomgår klimakteriet.
Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie genomfördes med sex deltagare som rekryterades med ett ändamålsenligt urval. Datainsamling skedde med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Data analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats.
Resultat: Kvinnors upplevelse av klimakteriets påverkan på... (More)

Resultat: Kvinnors upplevelse av klimakteriets påverkan på delaktighet i aktivitet resulterade i två huvudkategorier ”Symtomen påverkar delaktighet i dagliga aktiviteter i varierande grad” samt ”Stödjande miljöer är viktiga för delaktighet i dagliga aktiviteter”.
Slutsats: Kvinnor upplevde i varierande grad att klimakteriesymptom påverkade möjligheten till delaktighet i aktivitet i vardagen. Resultatet har betydelse för arbetsterapi för att kunna erbjuda ett personcentrerat bemötande och stötta kvinnor till en meningsfull vardag. Vidare studier behövs för att belysa klimakteriets påverkan på ytterligare målgrupper men även på samhället i stort. (Less)

Results: Women's experience of menopause's impact on participation in activities resulted in two main categories "Symptoms affect participation in daily activities to various degrees" and "Supportive environments are important for participation in daily activities".
Conclusions: Women's experience of menopause's impact on participation in activities were affected to varying degrees. The result is important for occupational therapy to be able to offer a person-centered approach and to support women to a meaningful everyday life. Further research is needed to shed light on the impact of menopause in different focus groups and on the society. (Less)
