Sammanfattning
Studies have documented that
interpersonal stress and support
seem to influence disease activity
in patients with chronic inflammatory
rheumatic disease.
The purpose of this study was to
gain increased knowledge about
the daily life experiences of interpersonal
stress and support among
women with rheumatic disease.
Based on a phenomenological
approach three women with chronic
inflammatory rheumatic disease
were interviewed. Qualitative
content analysis was applied
for analysing the taped and transcribed
interviews.
The findings indicate mutual relations
between self-confidence and
interpersonal interactions in the
daily experiences of stress and support.
The responders’self-confidence
is challenged by social role
expectations, relations to others and
experiences of suffering. On the
other hand self-confidence influences
their interpersonal relationships.
The experience of support
seems to be consistent with situations
and relations that strengthen a
positive self-confidence, while the
experience of stress is related to
situations and social interactions
that weaken their self-confidence.
The findings remind the health professionals
of the significance of selfconfidence
in the process of coping
with stress for these three women
with rheumatic disease.
