Obesity - to exchange one stigma for another with bariatric surgery as treatment. (English)
Abstract [sv]

Abstrakt 

Bakgrund: Obesitas är ett ökande folkhälsoproblem och omkring 650 miljoner människor lever med obesitas världen över. Sjukdomen innebär svårigheter både fysiskt och psykosocialt för de drabbade. Som sjuksköterska är det därför viktigt att ha god kunskap om dessa personers erfarenheter för att kunna ge god omvårdnad och bidra till ökad hälsa.

Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att skildra erfarenheter av viktstigmatisering hos personer som lever med obesitas.

Metod: Litteraturstudien baserades på nio kvalitativa studier. Databassökning genomfördes i Cinahl och Pubmed. Analys genomfördes med hjälp av Fribergs femstegsmodell.

Resultat: Analysen resulterade i tre huvudteman och nio underteman. Huvudteman; ”att uppleva uttryck för viktstigmatisering”, ”att kämpa ensam” och ”att uppleva konsekvenser av viktstigmatisering”.

Konklusion: Personer som lever med obesitas upplever viktstigmatisering i en rad olika kontext vilket kan resultera i negativa effekter både fysiskt och psykosocialt. Resultatet visade även att bariatrisk kirurgi som behandlingsmetod vid obesitas var omgärdat av stigmatisering. Kunskap saknas gällande viktstigmatisering, obesitas som sjukdom samt bariatrisk kirurgi som behandlingsmetod inom både vården och samhället. Personer som lever med obesitas förtjänar ett gott bemötande fritt från stigmatisering.

Abstract 

Background: Obesity is a growing issue and around 650 million people are living with obesity worldwide. The disease comes with difficulties both physically and psychosocially for those affected. As a nurse, it it’s therefore important to have good knowledge of these people’s experiences in order to provide good care and contribute to increased health.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe people living with obesitas experiences of weight stigmatization. 

Methods: This review was based on nine qualitative studies. Database searches were made in Cinahl and PubMed. Analysis was conducted with assistance of Fribergs five-step-model.

Results: The analysis resulted in three main themes and nine subthemes. Themes as described: “to experience expressions of weight stigmatization”, “to fight alone” and “experiencing consequences of weight stigma”. 

Conclusion: People living with obesity experience weight stigmatization in a variety of contexts which may result in negative effects both physically and psychosocially. The results also showed that bariatric surgery as treatment was surrounded by stigmatization. There is a lack of knowledge regarding weight stigmatization, obesity as a disease and bariatric surgery as method of treatment in both healthcare and society. People living with obesity deserves to be met with a respectful attitude, free from stigmatization.
