Abstract:
Objective:To systematically evaluate the illness experience of patients with hepatitis B.Methods:A computer-based search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Medline, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc for qualitative studies related to the illness experience of patients with hepatitis B, from database inception to April 9, 2024. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Qualitative Research was used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. A Meta-synthesis method was adopted to summarize and integrate the results.Results:A total of 10 papers were included, from which 43 themes were extracted and summarized into nine categories, ultimately forming four integrated findings: emotional challenges and psychological struggles; changes in social adaptation after experiencing disease trauma, with different coping styles; loss of self-actualization, accompanied by a strong desire for rehabilitation information and social support; a certain degree of illness-related stigma existed among patients.Conclusions:Medical staff should pay attention to the illness experiences of patients with hepatitis B, guide them toward positive coping mechanisms, and provide a basis for developing personalized nursing strategies.
