The purpose of this study was to advance transcultural nursing knowledge based on the lived experiences of Native Americans with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). The phenomenological qualitative research method was used to discover Native Americans lived experiences. Data was gathered in rural Oklahoma through non-structured interviews and clinical observations of Native Americans with NIDDM. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed for themes and patterns of similar statements among informants. Six major thematic categories were identified: reactions to NIDDM, responses to loss of health, identification with others, fear associated with the disease process, peace related to the diagnosis of NIDDM, and grieving associated with the diagnosis of NIDDM. The informants' experiences were reconstructed into transformed meanings that characterized the lifeworld of Native Americans with NIDDM.
本研究的目的是基于美国原住民非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病（NIDDM）患者的生活经历，推进跨文化护理知识。采用现象学定性研究方法来探寻美国原住民的生活经历。通过对俄克拉荷马州农村地区患有NIDDM的美国原住民进行非结构化访谈和临床观察来收集数据。访谈内容被转录，并分析其中的主题以及受访者之间相似陈述的模式。确定了六个主要主题类别：对NIDDM的反应、对健康丧失的反应、与他人的认同、与疾病过程相关的恐惧、与NIDDM诊断相关的平静以及与NIDDM诊断相关的悲伤。受访者的经历被重构为具有转变意义的内容，这些内容描绘了患有NIDDM的美国原住民的生活世界。
