Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Lymphoedema is a chronic condition that is estimated to affect up to four people per 1000 of the UK population with this increasing with age. Men account for up to 20% of lymphoedema service caseloads with research focussing upon women affected.
UNASSIGNED: To retrieve primary qualitative research on the experiences of men with chronic lymphoedema.
UNASSIGNED: A qualitative review was undertaken using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) meta-aggregation method. A search strategy was applied to 12 databases, from inception to February 2021, with 22 studies identified and appraised. The findings were extracted and synthesised via the JBI approach.
UNASSIGNED: Four synthesised findings were identified: (1) The \'New Norm\', how diagnosis led to men being faced with a \'new version\' of themselves; (2) \'Journey into the Unknown\' relates to the unforeseen diagnosis of the condition; (3) \'Access\' - challenge in receiving a diagnosis, and support; and (4) \'Personhood\' - the impact of the condition upon external constructs and relationships.
UNASSIGNED: Men are faced with similar challenges as women coupled with societal expectations with respect to gender identity and expression. This leads to those wishing to engage with men to adopt \'gender-based tailoring\' within healthcare services, information and support.
摘要:
未经证实:淋巴水肿是一种慢性疾病,估计每1000名英国人口中最多可影响4人,随着年龄的增长。男性占淋巴水肿服务病例的20%,研究重点是受影响的女性。
UNASSIGNED:检索有关男性慢性淋巴水肿的经历的主要定性研究。
UNASSIGNED:使用JoannaBriggsInstitute(JBI)的荟萃方法进行了定性审查。对12个数据库应用了搜索策略,从开始到2021年2月,确定和评估了22项研究。这些发现是通过JBI方法提取和综合的。
未经评估:确定了四个综合发现:(1)“新规范”,诊断如何导致男人面对自己的“新版本”;(2)“未知之旅”与不可预见的病情诊断有关;(3)“访问”-接受诊断的挑战,和支持;和(4)“人格”-条件对外部结构和关系的影响。
UNASSIGNED:男性面临着与女性类似的挑战,同时也面临着社会对性别认同和表达的期望。这导致那些希望与男性接触的人在医疗保健服务中采用“基于性别的剪裁”,信息和支持。
