A qualitative literature study that highlights the experience of women with substance abuse during their pregnancy andmotherhood (English)
Abstract [sv]

Gravida kvinnor och mödrar med substansbrukssyndrom utgör en särskilt utsatt målgrupp i samhället. Känslan av skuld och skam kan medföra att kvinnan undviker att söka vård, vilket reducerar möjligheten för tillfrisknande. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att få en ökad förståelse för hur kvinnor med substansbrukssyndrom upplever graviditet och moderskap. Litteraturstudien är baserad på kvalitativa artiklar som tagits fram genom systematiska sökningar med fastställda inklusions- och exklusionskriterier. Totalt inkluderades sju artiklar i litteraturöversikten för att besvara syftet. Resultatet visar på att kvinnorna upplevde graviditeten och moderskapet motiverande till att förändra sitt liv och bryta sitt substansbruk. De mötte däremot flera hinder och svårigheter i tillfrisknandet. Stöd och hjälp av både socialt umgänge och vårdpersonal ansågs vara viktigt för att lyckas med behandling för substansbruket och för att klara av moderskapet. Dessvärre upplevdes vårdpersonal brista i bemötandet gentemot dessa kvinnor vilket försvårade tillfrisknandet. Resultatet redovisas utifrån de tre kategorierna En vändpunkt, Den vardagliga kampen och Det sociala nätverkets betydelse, följt av de sex subkategorierna Graviditeten, Motivationtill förändring, Att bli fri från substansbrukssyndrom, Modersrollen, Sociala relationer och Vårdpersonal och socialtjänst.

Abstract [en]

Background: Pregnant women and mothers with substance abuse is a vulnerable target group in society. The feeling of guilt and shame can cause the woman to avoid seeking care, which reduces the possibility of recovery and can cause harm to the fetus.

Aim: The aim with this literature study was to increase the understanding of women's experiences of pregnancy and motherhood during substance abuse.

Method: The study is a literature review based on qualitative articles produced through systematic searches with established inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of seven articles of high quality have been used to answer the aim.

Results: The results show that women consider maternity and motherhood a motivating factor to counteract their drug addictions and improve their lifestyles. However, they face numerous obstacles during this journey and evidence shows that support from the family and friends and access to healthcare services are critical in treating substance addiction during parenthood. Furthermore, there appears to be a lack of competence in dealing with this specific target group by healthcare services.

Conclusion: Substance abuse is generally connected to traumatic experiences from early ages that could cause difficulties in the treatment process. Substance abuse also tend to cause difficulties during parenthood due to lack of structure and routines. Negative experiences with healthcare services can cause lack of trust and will as result limit the recovery of the substance abuse. Support from healthcare services and good relationships from the social circle are vital in the treatment of addiction and the success of parenting
