In the shadow of Graves’ disease: a qualitative interview study of patients’ experiences conducted at a secondary referral centre in Sweden

The findings indicate that symptoms have a significant impact on patients with GD, influencing their care experience, information processing, decision-making abilities, and daily functioning. The application of person-centred care can be one way to support patients with GD, as it facilitates a collaborative approach and enhances the comprehension of each patient's needs and resources. By acknowledging the patient's experiences, situation, and expectations, as well as the comprehensive impact of the disease, and by modifying support strategies, patient well-being and health outcomes may be significantly improved.
