Adolescents’ experiences of self-care with type 1 diabetes : a literature study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Förekomsten av diabetes typ 1 ökar världen över. Den största ökningen kan ses hos barn och ungdomar. Diabetes typ 1 är ett kroniskt tillstånd där insulinbehandling krävs livet ut. Egenvård är en viktig aspekt i behandlingen och inkluderar bland annat regelbundna blodsockermätningar och insulinadministrering. Sjuksköterskan har en betydande roll i att stödja ungdomar vid egenvård.

Syfte: Att beskriva ungdomars erfarenheter av egenvård vid diabetes typ 1.

Metod: Litteraturstudien har baserats på tio vetenskapliga artiklar med kvalitativ ansats som analyserats med kvalitativ innehållsanalys.

Resultat: Två kategorier och sex subkategorier framkom i resultatet. Första kategorin var “Utmaningar”. Subkategorierna var “Att uppleva ett ökat ansvar”, “Att möta svårigheter i skolan” och “Att uppleva motgångar i vardagen”. Den andra kategorin som identifierades var “Omgivningens påverkan” med underkategorierna: “Att få stöd och ifrågasättande från familjen”, Att få stöd från vårdpersonalen” samt “Att uppleva vänners medkänsla”.

Slutsats: Egenvård för ungdomar med diabetes typ 1 är en central och komplex del i livet. Under ungdomsåren tar ungdomar med diabetes typ 1 mer eget ansvar över egenvården och föräldrarna blir mindre involverade. Stöd från omgivningen ses dock fortfarande som en viktig del i egenvårdshanteringen. 

Abstract [en]

Background: The occurrence of diabetes type 1 is increasing worldwide. The largest increase can be seen in children and adolescents. Diabetes is a chronic condition that requires lifelong insulin treatment. Self-care is an important aspect of treatment and includes regular blood glucose measurements and insulin administration. The nurse has a significant role in supporting adolescents in self-care.

Purpose: To describe adolescents' experiences of self-care in type 1 diabetes.

Method: The literature review is based on ten scientific articles with a qualitative approach that were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.

Result: Two categories and six subcategories emerged from the results. The first category was “Challenges”. The subcategories were “To experience increased responsibility”, “To face difficulties at school” and “To experience adversity in everyday life”. The second category identified was “Influence of the surroundings” with subcategories: “To be supported and questioned by the family”, “To receive support from health professionals” and “To experience friends' compassion”.

Conclusions: Self-care for adolescents with type 1 diabetes is a central and complex part of life. Adolescents with type 1 diabetes take more responsibility with self-care and parents become less involved. However, support from the people around adolescents is still an important part of self-care management.
