Abstract
Studiet undersøgte, hvilke udfordringer personer med type 2-diabetes møder i hverdagen, og om nogle udfordringer fylder særligt tidligt efter diagnosen. Gennem en litteraturgennemgang blev 65 diabetesrelaterede problemer identificeret og, i samarbejde med patienter og fagpersoner, omskrevet til 93 konkrete hverdagsoplevelser. Der blev udviklet en online metode, hvor 25 personer med type 2-diabetes registrerede deres oplevelser over to måneder. Deltagerne rapporterede oftest positive oplevelser, men mad og motion fremstod som de mest dominerende problemområder. Der var ingen tydelig forskel mellem ny-diagnosticerede (N=11) og mere erfarne (N=14) i, hvor ofte de rapporterede positive oplevelser. Sandsynligheden for positive oplevelser varierede dog mellem de forskellige problemområder. Selve metoden blev også vurderet ved interviews med fire deltagere. Med de foreslåede forbedringer kan tilgangen potentielt hurtigere pege på centrale problemområder og få personer med type 2-diabetes til at reflektere over deres egne oplevelser.
This study explored which everyday challenges people with type 2 diabetes face and whether some challenges are especially common soon after diagnosis. Through a review of previous research, the team identified 65 diabetes-related problems and, with input from patients and experts, reworded them into 93 concrete everyday experiences. An online method was developed in which 25 people with type 2 diabetes logged their experiences over two months. Participants mostly reported experiences they perceived as positive, but food and exercise emerged as the most dominant problem areas. There was no clear difference between newly diagnosed (N=11) and more experienced (N=14) participants in how often they reported positive experiences. However, the likelihood of positive experiences differed across the various problem areas. The method itself was also evaluated by interviewing four participants. With the proposed improvements, this approach could help identify problem areas more quickly and encourage people with type 2 diabetes to reflect on their own experiences.
