Abstract
Objective: People with a neuromuscular disease (NMD) often experience challenges in everyday life and healthcare. Aim: To investigate experiences of and perspectives on challenges in everyday life and healthcare of people with NMDs and their relatives to gain new insights into how life-long rehabilitation can be tailored. Patients & methods: The design was qualitative using the interpretive description methodology and the Sense of Coherence theory. An ethnographic fieldwork was conducted where 45 persons with NMD and their relatives were included for interviews and participant observations. Results & conclusion: People with NMDs continually adapt to a changing functioning and balance their need for knowledge with their dependency on help when navigating the healthcare system. Structured, professionally facilitated peer support is needed.
