Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Volume 78 numéro 1 (Janvier 2015) . - p.24-32 Titre : The lived experience of diabetes: Conceptualisation using a metaphor Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Annabel Youngson, Auteur ; Fiona Cole, Auteur ; Helen Wilby, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.24-32 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Occupational therapy  Diabetes  Metaphor Résumé : Introduction It is important for healthcare professionals to understand the reality of living with diabetes in order to better engage and enable people to self-manage. The purpose of this research was thus a preliminary exploration of the lived experience of diabetes. Method This qualitative study involved seven people with a diagnosis of type 1, type 2 or pre-diabetes. Data was collected via semi-structured interviews and analysed using a phenomenological approach including the use of metaphor. Findings were shared with participants using a felted metaphor of charting a course of health and wellbeing through a choppy sea. Findings: Themes explored within the elements of the metaphor included the boat (self-identity, control, balance, compliance and empowerment, emotions), the sea (physical and social environment, lifestyle, life events), the course (information gathering, change, self-action) and the boatyard (relationships with healthcare providers). Conclusion For those with type 1, type 2 and pre-diabetes, the elements of charting a course of health and wellbeing through a choppy sea are very much focused on the person in their own context, impacted by their environment, life stage, occupations and attitudes to diabetes self-management, all of which fall within the remit of occupational therapy.
