Abstract (Swedish)
Bakgrund: Aktivitetsbalans är avgörande för individens välbefinnande, särskilt vid kroniska sjukdomstillstånd som multipel skleros (MS). Aktivitetsbalans beskrivs som en relation mellan önskad och faktisk tidsanvändning inom olika aktiviteter. Fatigue är ett vanligt symtom vid MS och innebär en omfattande hjärntrötthet. Fatigue kan påverka aktivitetsbalans och livskvalitet negativt.
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att kartlägga hur fatigue påverkar upplevelsen av aktivitetsbalans hos personer med multipel skleros (MS) genom en litteraturöversikt.
Metod: En allmän litteraturöversikt med induktiv ansats genomfördes. Integrativ dataanalys av 14 inkluderade artiklar genomfördes.
Resultat: MS-relaterad fatigue visade sig orsaka... (More)

Metod: En allmän litteraturöversikt med induktiv ansats genomfördes. Integrativ dataanalys av 14 inkluderade artiklar genomfördes.
Resultat: MS-relaterad fatigue visade sig orsaka förändringar i aktivitetsmönster och en upplevelse av aktivitetsobalans som hade en koppling till psykisk ohälsa och upplevd försämrad livskvalitet. Individer med fatigue upplevde behov av olika strategier för att främja aktivitetsbalans.
Slutsats: MS-relaterad fatigue visade sig ha stor påverkan på individens upplevda aktivitetsbalans. Vid MS-relaterad fatigue krävs därav särskilda anpassningar för att möjliggöra meningsfull aktivitet. Fortsatt forskning krävs för att kartlägga aktivitetsbalans och dess betydelse för denna målgrupp och utveckla evidensbaserade insatser. (Less)
Abstract
Background: Occupational balance is crucial for an individual's well-being, especially in chronic diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Occupational balance is described as a relationship between desired and actual time spent in different activities. Fatigue is a common symptom in MS and involves extensive brain fatigue. Fatigue can negatively affect occupational balance and quality of life.
Aim: The purpose of this study is to map how the experience of fatigue affects the occupational balance in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Method: A literature review has been conducted with an inductive approach. 14 articles were used in the study, which were analyzed by an integrative data analysis.
Results: MS-related fatigue was found... (More)

Method: A literature review has been conducted with an inductive approach. 14 articles were used in the study, which were analyzed by an integrative data analysis.
Results: MS-related fatigue was found to cause changes in occupational patterns and a perception of occupational imbalance that was linked to mental illness and perceived impaired quality of life. Individuals with fatigue also experienced a need for strategies to promote occupational balance.
Conclusion: MS-related fatigue was shown to have a major impact on the individual's perceived occupational balance. MS-related fatigue therefore requires special adaptations to enable meaningful activity without overloading the individual. Continued research is needed to map the importance of occupational balance for this target group and develop evidence-based interventions. (Less)
