The effect of health promotion practices for women with fibromyalgia (English)
Abstract [sv]

Inledning: Fibromyalgi kännetecknas av generell kronisk muskelsmärta och klassas som en komplex, kronisk sjukdom. Fem procent av världens befolkning beräknas ha fibromyalgi och i Sverige är 80 procent av de drabbade kvinnor. Kunskapen kring hälsofrämjande metoder för kvinnor med fibromyalgi har på senare tid ökat men sammanställningar av forskningsområdet är få. Syfte: Hur kan hälsopromotiva metoder främja hälsan hos kvinnor med fibromyalgi? Metod: En litteraturstudie genomfördes där fokus låg på att sammanställa hälsopromotiva metoder, som är icke-farmakologiska för att förbättra hälsan hos kvinnor med fibromyalgi. Sökningar i databaserna CINAHL och Pubmed resulterade i nio inkluderade studier. Resultat: Resultatet visade följande kategorier: Bättre mental hälsa, Bättre fysisk och funktionell hälsa samt Bättre hälsobeteenden. Bättre mental hälsa innebar förbättrat psykiskt välbefinnande, minskad ångest, minskad depression, bättre social funktion och bättre jobbfokus. Bättre fysisk och funktionell hälsa gav bättre acceptans av smärtan, mindre vårdanvändning, mindre sjukdomssymtom och mindre stelhet. Bättre hälsobeteenden visade på uppnådda målsättningar och förändrade livsstilsvanor. Slutsats: Genom olika interventioner kan icke-farmakologiska hälsopromotiva metoder ha en positiv inverkan på kvinnors hälsa. Mer forskning behövs inom området för att ge drabbade och deras närstående mer kunskap om fibromyalgi

Abstract [en]

Introduction: Fibromyalgia is characterized with general chronic muscle pain and is classified as a complex, chronic disease. Five percent of the world's population is estimated to have fibromyalgia, and in Sweden 80 percent of those affected are women. Knowledge of health-promoting methods for women with fibromyalgia has recently increased, but compilations of the research area are few. Objective: How can health promotion practices promote the health of women with fibromyalgia? Method: A literature study was conducted where the focus was on compiling health promotion methods, which are nonpharmacological, to improve the health of women with fibromyalgia. Searches in the databases CINAHL and Pubmed resulted in nine included studies. Results: The result showed the following categories: Better mental health, Better physical and functional health and Better health behaviors.Better mental health meant improved psychological well-being, reduced anxiety, reduced depression, better social functioning and better job focus. Better physical and functional health resulted in better acceptance of the pain, less use of healthcare, less disease symptoms and less stiffness. Better health behaviors showed achieved goals and changed lifestyle habits. Conclusion: Through various interventions, non-pharmacological health promotion methods can have a positive impact on women's health. More research is needed in the area to give affected and their relatives more knowledge about fibromyalgia.
