Adolescents´ experiences of living with type 1 diabetes : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Typ 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) bland ungdomar ökar i Europa och också i Sverige. Sjukdomen är kronisk och kräver livsstilsförändringar samt egenvård. Ungdomsåren kännetecknas av frigörelse från föräldrar och att hitta sin sociala tillhörighet. Att drabbas av kronisk sjukdom under denna del av livet kan antas vara särskilt omvälvande.

Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva ungdomars upplevelser av att leva med T1DM.

Metod: Studien var baserad på en litteraturöversikt med tio vetenskapliga artiklar som systematiskt söktes fram från databaserna Cinahl Complete och PubMed. Analysen genomfördes enligt fem steg där sista steget bestod av kategorisering och tematisering av artiklarnas resultat.

Resultat: Genom analysen identifierades tre teman; Ett liv som ungdom med T1DM i isolering och utanförskap, mötet med sjukvårdspersonal, upplevelser av diagnostiseringen.

Slutsats: Litteraturöversikten visar att ungdomarna hade svårigheter att hantera den förändrade livssituationen efter diagnosen. De beskriver känslor av utanförskap och isolering. Ungdomarnas kontakter med vården är överlag negativ då de inte blir respekterade som individer. Resultatet diskuteras med utgångspunkt från Dorotea Orems egenvårdsteori.

Abstract [en]

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) among young people is increasing in Europe and also in Sweden. The disease is chronic and requires lifestyle changes and selfcare. Adolescence is characterized by liberation from parents and finding one’s social affiliation. Suffering from a chronic illness during this part of life can assumed to be particularly transformative.

Aim: The aim was to describe young people’s experiences of living with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Method: The study was based on a literature review with ten scientific articles systematically retrieved from the databases Cinahl Complete and PubMed. The analysis was carried out according to five steps, the last step consisted of categorizing and thematizationthe results from the included articles.

Results: The analysis resulted in three themes: A life as a youth in isolation and exclusiondue to T1DM, encounters with healthcare professionals and Experiences of getting thediagnosis.

Conclusion: This literature review highlights that young people had difficulty coping with the changed life situation after the diagnosis. They described feelings of exclusion and isolation. Their contacts with healthcare are generally perceived as negative as they experienced not being respected as individuals. The results are discussed in relation to Dorotea Orem’s self-care theory.
