Describe young adults` (19-30 years) experiences of living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
Young adulthood is characterized by adaption to adult roles, gradual separation from parental support and leaving the parental home. Living with T1D in young adulthood raises challenges and concerns.
This study has a qualitative design.
Semistructured interviews with 12 young adults living with T1D for 3-14 years, analysed with qualitative content analysis.
The analysis revealed contradictory ways of handling the illness, as is illuminated in two main categories (a) and five subcategories (b). Handling the situation and dealing with different opinions (a), (b) managing daily life, emotional roller coaster and general attitudes, own views and apprehensions, ignorance and lack of motivation. Most participants were motivated, had knowledge and were in control of their long-term illness. Planning and structure were an essential part of their daily life. The participants were anxious about losing control of their bodies, the situation, die or be a burden to other people.
描述年轻成年人(19 - 30岁)患1型糖尿病(T1D)的生活经历。
青年期的特点是适应成人角色、逐渐脱离父母的支持并离开父母家。青年期患有T1D会带来挑战和担忧。
本研究采用质性设计。
对12名患有T1D 3至14年的年轻成年人进行半结构式访谈,采用质性内容分析法进行分析。
分析揭示了应对疾病的矛盾方式,主要体现在两个主要类别(a)和五个子类别(b)中。应对病情并处理不同意见(a),(b)管理日常生活、情绪起伏以及总体态度、自身观点和担忧、他人的忽视和缺乏动力。大多数参与者有积极性、具备知识并能掌控自己的长期疾病。规划和条理是他们日常生活的重要组成部分。参与者担心失去对自己身体的控制、病情、死亡或成为他人的负担。
