Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to obtain an in-depth understanding of the experiences of adolescents with well-controlled type 1 diabetes who were adjusting to closed-loop technology.

Method: Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was conducted. Five participants (aged 15-18) were recruited from the Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology in Parktown, South Africa, to participate in semi-structured interviews about their experiences of adjusting to closed-loop technology.

Results: Five superordinate themes emerged (1): learning to trust the technology (2), making diabetes visible (3), building a relationship with diabetes (4), empowering support networks, and (5) transformative positive outcomes. The findings demonstrate that closed-loop technology positively impacts the adjustment to living with type 1 diabetes. However, as highlighted by all participants, the individual's engagement and management are crucial. Based on the adolescents' experiences, interventions should focus on psychological factors.

使用闭环技术，控制良好的 1 型糖尿病青少年的调整经验。

目的：本研究旨在深入了解控制良好的 1 型糖尿病青少年适应闭环技术的经历：方法：采用解释性现象学分析法（IPA）。从南非帕克镇糖尿病和内分泌中心招募了五名参与者（15-18 岁），对他们进行了半结构化访谈，了解他们适应闭环技术的经历：结果：出现了五大主题(1)：学会信任技术(2)、让糖尿病看得见(3)、建立与糖尿病的关系(4)、增强支持网络的能力，以及(5)变革性的积极成果。研究结果表明，闭环技术对适应 1 型糖尿病患者的生活产生了积极影响。然而，正如所有参与者所强调的，个人的参与和管理至关重要。根据青少年的经验，干预措施应侧重于心理因素。
