Diagnosis of Hepatitis C infection precipitates life transitions, with varied barriers and facilitators impacting patient experiences. The transition is a non-linear, non-time-bound process, with participants not yet showing healthy transition indicators.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Qualitative Health Research
  • Patient Experience

Background:

  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection presents significant challenges to patients' lives.
  • Understanding the lived experience of HCV is crucial for developing supportive interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the felt-experience of living with Hepatitis C infection.
  • To identify factors influencing the transition process following diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive exploratory study design.
  • Non-probability sampling.
  • In-depth interviews with nine participants diagnosed with Hepatitis C.

Main Results:

  • Hepatitis C diagnosis initiated a significant life transition for participants.

  • Identified barriers and facilitators influenced the transition experience.
  • Participants were not exhibiting indicators of healthy transition at data collection.

    • Conclusions:

    • The transition following Hepatitis C diagnosis is complex, non-linear, and not time-bound.
    • Patient experiences are shaped by individual barriers and facilitators.
    • Further research is needed to support healthy transitions in Hepatitis C patients.
