Abstract
Aims: Young women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have higher risks of diabetes complications and report higher diabetes distress and lower quality of life than men with T1D. Their experiences of self-management and need for support have received little attention, and targeted interventions are lacking. The aim of this qualitative interview study was to explore the experiences of young women with T1D after participating in an intervention with the person-centred reflection and problem-solving model Guided Self-Determination-Young (GSD-Y), with a focus on self-management and support in daily diabetes care.
Methods: A qualitative interview study was performed in a paediatric and an adult diabetes outpatient clinic in Sweden. After participating in an intervention with GSD-Y, 12 women (15-20 years) with T1D were selected and interviewed individually. The interviews were analysed using inductive qualitative content analysis.
Results: The analysis revealed an overarching theme: 'A person-centred approach facilitated deeper reflection on both an individual and a relational level', and two main categories: 'The process initiated within the individual', and 'The process initiated together with the health care provider'. The women experienced increased knowledge of, and increased ability to manage diabetes. They also experienced a new type of relationship with the health care provider, including exchange of in-depth information beyond glucose levels, which appeared to increase their ability to receive support.
Conclusions: The GSD-Y model provided tools to explore and clarify the individual needs of young women with T1D, which supported diabetes self-management. Person-centred care was enabled when the women became engaged as active partners in diabetes health care.
期刊介绍：
Diabetic Medicine, the official journal of Diabetes UK, is published monthly simultaneously, in print and online editions.
The journal publishes a range of key information on all clinical aspects of diabetes mellitus, ranging from human genetic studies through clinical physiology and trials to diabetes epidemiology. We do not publish original animal or cell culture studies unless they are part of a study of clinical diabetes involving humans. Categories of publication include research articles, reviews, editorials, commentaries, and correspondence. All material is peer-reviewed.
We aim to disseminate knowledge about diabetes research with the goal of improving the management of people with diabetes. The journal therefore seeks to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers worldwide. Topics covered are of importance to all healthcare professionals working with people with diabetes, whether in primary care or specialist services.
Surplus generated from the sale of Diabetic Medicine is used by Diabetes UK to know diabetes better and fight diabetes more effectively on behalf of all people affected by and at risk of diabetes as well as their families and carers.”
