METHODS: Young adults with T1DM (N = 11) were recruited through social media platforms and modified snowball sampling and interviewed. Informational redundancy was achieved. Qualitative thematic coding and analysis were conducted within and across transcripts.
RESULTS: Diabetes burnout was described as the willingness to put diabetes and DSM on the \"back burner\" and let things slide due to exhaustion, frustration, apathy, and the desire to be like everyone else for a while. Risk and protective factors were identified along with strategies to achieve balance of DSM in everyday life.
CONCLUSIONS: This study identified a clear definition of diabetes burnout and acknowledges this concept as distinct and separate from other psychosocial conditions. Health care providers can utilize this information to identify individuals at risk for diabetes burnout and offer more effective support to lessen the overall burden associated with T1DM.
方法:通过社交媒体平台招募患有T1DM的年轻成年人(N=11),并进行改进的雪球采样和访谈。实现了信息冗余。在转录本内部和之间进行了定性主题编码和分析。
结果:糖尿病倦怠被描述为愿意将糖尿病和DSM置于“后燃器”上,并因疲惫而让事情滑倒,挫败感,冷漠,和像其他人一样的愿望。确定了风险和保护因素以及在日常生活中实现DSM平衡的策略。
结论:这项研究确定了糖尿病倦怠的明确定义,并承认这一概念与其他社会心理状况截然不同。医疗保健提供者可以利用这些信息来识别有糖尿病倦怠风险的个体,并提供更有效的支持来减轻与T1DM相关的总体负担。
