Background and Aims. The lived experience of HCV has not been well documented in
the literature. The aim of this systematic review was to understand the
experiences of living with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). Methods. Five databases were
searched from inception until January 19, 2015. Studies were included if they
focused on adults diagnosed with HCV; reported experience living with HCV; and
described original research. Results. 46 studies were included. Studies found
that participants had reduced quality of life due to physical symptoms. Due to
physical symptoms and discrimination, many participants switched to part-time
work or quit their jobs. Many individuals reported negative experiences with the
healthcare system; themes of feeling unsupported, not having adequate
information, and not feeling involved in decisions were reported. Stigma
significantly impacted those living with HCV. Conclusions. Published literature
indicates that those with HCV often feel stigmatized and unsupported in their
care, relationships, and work environments, while simultaneously coping with
physical and psychological symptoms. This synthesis points to areas where greater
education, compassion, and patient-centered healthcare could improve the
experience of people living with HCV.
