Adaptation Model

The aim of this study is to examine experiences of patients undergoing bariatric surgery according to Roy’s adaptation model (RAM). This is a qualitative study with a phenomenological design. The sample included patients undergoing bariatric surgery ( N: 32). Of all the patients 84.37% were female and 59.38% were married. According to results of the content analysis, adaptive patient behavior was described by the themes “My life has changed”, Everything is beautiful” “I can cope” and “Luckily, I have them” and their nonadaptive behavior was described by the themes “What if I cannot succeed”, “Bad news” and “So many people, so many views”. Patients having bariatric surgery experience various difficulties in adapting to their life and bodies, but the surgery leads to improvements in their body image, social life, personal relationships, and maintenance of roles. However, some patients can be afraid of postoperative complications and experience anxiety about regaining weight.

The Impact

IntroductionA person-centred approach, to know about a person’s individual weaknesses and strengths, is warranted in today’s healthcare in Sweden. When a person suffers from obesity, there are not only risks for comorbidities but also increased risk for decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL). After bariatric surgery, there are also risks for complications; however, healthcare service expects the person to have sufficient ability to handle recovery after surgery. The need is to investigate how a person’s self-efficacy and health literacy(HL) skills are important to determine their effect on recovery as well as HRQoL after bariatric surgery. It can, involve the person in the care, improve shared decision-making, and perhaps decrease complications and readmissions.Method and analysisThis is a prospective, longitudinal mixed-methods study with the intent of including 700 patients from three bariatric centres in Sweden (phase 1); 20 patients will be included in a qualitative study (phase 2). Inclusion criteria will be age >17 years, scheduled primary bariatric surgery and ability to read and understand the Swedish language in speech and in writing. Inclusion criteria for the qualitative study will be patients who reported a low self-efficacy, with a selection to ensure maximum variation regarding age and gender. Before bariatric surgery patients will answer a questionnaire including 20 items. Valid and reliable instruments will be used to investigate general self-efficacy (10 items) and functional and communicative and critical HL (10 items). This data collection will then be merged with data from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry. Analysis will be performed 30 days, 1 year and 2 years after bariatric surgery. One year after bariatric surgery the qualitative study will be performed. The main outcomes are the impact of a person’s self-efficacy and HL on recovery after bariatric surgery.Ethics and disseminationThe study has received approval from the ethical review board in Uppsala, Sweden (number 2018/256). The study results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations to the scientific community and social media.
