This study explored the employment and school/daycare experiences of parents of young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Parents (n=134) of young children with T1D (ages 1-6) responded to open-ended questions. Responses were systematically reviewed to identify themes. Four parent employment themes were identified: work cessation/reduction, employment flexibility, significant career impact, and financial pressure. Three school/daycare attendance themes were identified: school/daycare structure and setting, previous experience with T1D, and school/daycare importance. Insulin regimen, child age, and family income were related to parents' decisions. Parents may benefit from clinical programs that assist them with employment and school/daycare decisions.
本研究探讨了1型糖尿病(T1D)幼儿家长的就业及子女上学/日托经历。134名1至6岁T1D幼儿的家长回答了开放式问题。对回答进行系统回顾以确定主题。确定了四个家长就业主题:工作停止/减少、就业灵活性、重大职业影响和经济压力。确定了三个上学/日托主题:学校/日托结构与环境、既往T1D经历以及学校/日托的重要性。胰岛素治疗方案、孩子年龄和家庭收入与家长的决定有关。家长可能会从协助他们做出就业及子女上学/日托决定的临床项目中受益。
