Insulin Pump Meaning for Children with Type 1 Diabetes: Phenomenological Research

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this qualitative study is to reveal the insulin pump experiences of children with Type 1 Diabetes by examining them in depth. Methods: Within qualitative research, using the technique of purposive sampling in 14 children with Type 1 Diabetes. Use of an insulin pump at the age of 12-14 was included in the study. Interview technology was used with semi-interviews. The views and lives that can be achieved with this technique have been determined. The obtained data thematic analysis method, computer-aided qualitative data analysis MAXQDA 2022 were analyzed by the program. Results: In this study; the main themes were 'the definition and meaning of the pump for children', 'children's experiences with the insulin pump', 'what the pump makes children feel', 'changes in children's lives after the pump' and 'expectations, dreams and suggestions about diabetes'. For children, the insulin pump is associated with the concepts of life, comfort, normality, freedom and hope. Conclusions: What the insulin pump means for children: It is a device that they have to carry with them at all times and depend on to perform their organ functions. They stated that life was difficult and irregular without an insulin pump, and that the pump made daily life easier. They also stated that thanks to the pump, they became independent in their daily lives, but from time to time they experienced problems such as size and clogging problems with the device, and that they were subjected to stigmatization at school.

İnsülin Pompasının Tip 1 Diyabetli Çocuklar İçin Anlamı: Fenomenolojik Bir Araştırma

Öz

Amaç: Bu nitel çalışmanın amacı; tip 1 diyabetli çocukların insulin pompa deneyimlerini derinlemesine inceleyerek ortaya koymaktır. Yöntem: Niteliksel araştırma kapsamında amaçlı örnekleme tekniği kullanılarak tip 1 Diyabetli 14 çocukta gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmaya 12-14 yaşlarında insulin pompası kullananlar dahil edildi. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bu insülin ile bireylerin görüş ve deneyimleri belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler tematik analiz yöntemiyle, bilgisayar destekli nitel veri analizi MAXQDA 2022 programıyla analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Bu çalışmada; ‘çocuklar için pompanın tanımı ve anlamı’, ‘çocukların insulin pompası ile deneyimleri’, ‘pompanın çocuklara hissettirdiği’, ‘pompa sonrası çocukların hayatındaki değişiklikler’ ve ‘beklentiler, hayaller ve diyabetle ilgili öneriler’ ana temaları bulunmuştur. Çocuklar için insulin pompası hayat, rahatlık, normallik, özgürlük, umut kavramları ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Sonuç: İnsülin pompasının çocuklar için anlamı; sürekli yanlarında taşımak zorunda oldukları, organ fonksiyonlarını yerine getirmek için bağlı oldukları bir cihazdır. İnsülin pompası olmadan yaşamın zor ve düzensiz olduğunu, pompanın günlük yaşamı kolaylaştırdığını ifade ettiler. Ayrıca pompa sayesinde günlük yaşamlarında bağımsız olduklarını ancak zaman zaman cihazda boyut, tıkanma sorunu gibi sorunlar yaşadıklarını, okulda damgalanmaya maruz kaldıklarını aktardılar.
