Abstract
This arts-based research explores the role and impact of digital storytelling in supporting young adults with diabetes in China to face diabetes-related stigma and promote resilience and well-being. Twenty participants with diabetes recounted their experiences across three workshops and shared their perspectives on digital storytelling through semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that digital storytelling, as a health intervention, facilitates a comfortable environment for participants to articulate the traumatic impact of diabetes stigma. It encourages collective support and fosters a reinterpretation of the diabetes experience, enhancing participants' capacity for future health management. The results also highlight the limitations of digital storytelling, particularly concerning its accessibility and transparency. Participants' experiences underscore the need for careful consideration of these challenges to maximize the therapeutic potential of digital storytelling in the context of chronic illness management.
