Sammanfattning
Patient education as well as research
concerning this subject has
been an area of interest that has
increased substantially. However
there is a need for further evaluative
research that systematically
and objectively measures patient
education outcomes.
The aim of this study was to describe
the experience of received
patient education in a group of
HIV infected patients.
After participating in a patient
education program, open ended
interviews were carried out with
four patients, one woman and
three men. The data (the patients
narratives) were analyzed based
on the principles of content analysis.
The narratives revealed two main
categories, each with two sub themes.
The categories were Sense of
belonging, with the sub-themes
sense of togetherness and experience
and How to manage, with
the sub-themes sense of control
and awarness.
In conclusion we can establish
the fact that persons living with
HIV might be in need of increased
knowledge and support
groups. However, more research
is needed within the area of patient
education and thereby it
would be of interest to further
study how this affects HIV infected
patient´s sense of wellbeing.
