摘要
背景:自我管理1型糖尿病(T1D)可能具有挑战性,特别是对于处于关键发育阶段的青少年。一些青少年很难成功地自我管理T1D,并且很难在成年后保持良好的控制。尽管存在这种担忧,但南非明显缺乏关于保护因素和/或资源的循证研究,以支持患有T1D的青少年。目的:本研究旨在探讨和描述控制良好的南非青少年T1D心理韧性的保护因素。环境:这项研究是在南非豪登省Parktown的糖尿病和内分泌学中心(CDE)进行的,这是一家为患有T1D的青少年提供全面、多学科护理的专业机构。方法:采用定性描述性研究设计,进行7次半结构化访谈,并进行转录和主题分析。结果:从数据中出现了四个主题:Just do it:承诺糖尿病护理计划;抚养一个患有糖尿病的孩子需要一个村庄;培养积极特质的一线希望这是一个不断学习T1D的过程。结论:内部能力(计划、承担责任、毅力和决定论)和外部资源(父母、家庭成员、学校、导师)对控制良好的T1D青少年产生积极的结果和适应。青少年糖尿病患者利用现有的内部能力和外部资源来管理糖尿病的潜力可能有利于糖尿病的成功管理。贡献:该研究解决了在理解与南非控制良好的T1D青少年成功自我管理相关的保护因素方面的空白。
Protective factors in resilient South African youth with type 1 diabetes: A qualitative study.
Background: Self-managing type 1 diabetes (T1D) can be challenging, especially for adolescents in a critical developmental stage. Some adolescents struggle to successfully self-manage T1D and struggle to keep it well-controlled into adulthood. Despite this concern, there is a notable lack of evidence-based research on protective factors and/or resources to support adolescents living with T1D in South Africa.
Aim: This study aimed to explore and describe the protective factors of resilience among South African adolescents living with well-controlled T1D.
Setting: The study was conducted at the Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology (CDE) in Parktown, Gauteng, South Africa, a specialised facility offering comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for adolescents with T1D.
Methods: A qualitative descriptive research design was used, and seven semi-structured interviews were conducted, transcribed and thematically analysed.
Results: Four themes emerged from the data: Just do it: Commit to the diabetes care plan; It takes a village to raise a child living with diabetes; The silver lining of developing positive characteristics and It's a process of continuously learning about T1D.
Conclusion: Internal abilities (planning, taking responsibility, perseverance and determinism) and external resources (parents, family members, school, mentors) foster positive outcomes and adjustment for adolescents with well-controlled T1D. The potential for adolescents with T1D to use available internal abilities and external resources in managing their diabetes could be beneficial to the successful management of T1D.Contribution: The study addressed a gap in understanding protective factors involved in the successful self-management of adolescents living with well-controlled T1D in South Africa.
