Abstract
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is 19.7% in Haiti (DeGennaro et al., 2018). Haitian American women (HAW) experience difficulties with adherence to T2DM treatment and management (Bivins, 2016; Magny-Normilus et al., 2019; Vimalananda et al., 2011; Huffman et al., 2013); however, no previous study was found that focused exclusively on Haitian American women with T2DM. Van Manen's six research activities guided this phenomenological qualitative inquiry. Recruitment included 25 Haitian American women (N = 25) with T2DM from three South Florida counties. Data were collected using a vignette and audio-recorded semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions. Recordings were then transcribed and analyzed to identify thematic concepts and patterns. Themes of spiritualizing and shifting cultural norms with the subtheme of dietary restrictions were found. In conclusion, to promote health outcomes nurses must incorporate these salient factors in the care of Haitian American women with T2DM.
海地2型糖尿病(T2DM)患病率为19.7% (DeGennaro et al., 2018)。海地裔美国妇女(HAW)在坚持T2DM治疗和管理方面遇到困难(Bivins, 2016;Magny-Normilus等人,2019;Vimalananda et al., 2011;Huffman et al., 2013);然而,之前没有研究发现专门针对患有2型糖尿病的海地裔美国妇女。范马南的六项研究活动指导了这一现象学质的探究。招募对象包括来自南佛罗里达三个县的25名患有2型糖尿病的海地裔美国妇女(N = 25)。数据收集采用小短文和录音半结构化访谈开放式问题。然后对录音进行转录和分析,以确定主题概念和模式。发现了精神化和文化规范转变的主题以及饮食限制的副主题。总之,为了促进健康结果,护士必须在护理患有2型糖尿病的海地美国妇女时纳入这些突出因素。
