概要:

Purpose: To clarify how patients with type 2 diabetes viewed their relationship with theirsignificant other prior to diabetes onset, and how they managed the relationship and livedafter onset.Methods: Unstructured interviews were carried out using a phenomenological approachfor 11 patients with type 2 diabetes and no severe complications, and the obtained datawere interpreted.Results: Three themes were discovered and described: ( 1) The patient … “naturally”cared for their significant other, but due to the circumstances of the relationship, it wasimpossible to devote sufficient energy to deal with their diabetes; (2) The patient is hurtemotionally when people around them bring up diabetes, but feels comfortable whenpeople talk about the patient themselves; ( 3) The experience of understanding theirposition in the relationship with their significant other and finding ways to address this ledto recognizing the value of the existence of significant others.Conclusion: Our findings suggest that when patients feel emotionally hurt, healthprofessionals should consider the possibility that they may be concerned about theirrelationships with others. Being mindful of caring for those patients and being a goodlistener will facilitate the patients’ path towards resolving the problems they experience. 続きを見る
