To explore the experiences of living with symptomatic atrial fibrillation.
This study, with a descriptive qualitative design, was performed using semi-structured individual interviews.
Six women and nine men with symptomatic atrial fibrillation were included. The transcribed interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis. The COREQ checklist was followed.
The analysis resulted in a main theme, namely balancing life and included the themes striving for illness control, becoming a receiver or an active partner in care and dealing with changed self-image. The participants strived to understand their illness, prevent attacks and manage anxiety. Some of the participants were not involved in decision-making, were uninformed about self-care measures, reported a lack of continuity in care and felt that the doctors focused on information about the medical part of care.
探讨有症状的心房颤动患者的生活体验。
本研究采用描述性定性设计，使用半结构化个体访谈进行。
纳入了 6 名女性和 9 名男性有症状的心房颤动患者。对转录的访谈进行了定性内容分析。遵循了 COREQ 清单。
分析结果得出一个主要主题，即平衡生活，包括努力控制疾病、成为护理的接受者或积极伙伴以及应对自我形象改变的主题。参与者努力了解自己的病情、预防发作和管理焦虑。一些参与者没有参与决策、对自我护理措施不知情、报告护理连续性不足，并且感到医生关注的是关于医疗护理部分的信息。
