Sammanfattning
The aim of the present study was
to investigate parent reactions
and how they coped with the daily
challenges presented by diabetes
type 1 (IDDM). Two themes,
regarding family processes and
insulin-dependent diabetes, can
be distinguished in the literature.
Some contributions describe how
the family may influence the
adjustment and metabolic control
of the diabetic child or adolescent.
Other investigations considers
the impact of the youngster`s
diabetes on the relationship between
parents, the relationship
between parent and child and
overall aspects of family functioning,
such as coping and problem
solving. Therefore, family factors
play a significant role in how
adolescents cope with diabetes.
A qualitative method was used.
The sample consists of three couple
of parents and one single mother.
A semi-structured interview
guide was used, and the interviews
were carried out in the
parents` homes. Data were analysed
using the procedure described
by Glaser & Strauss and
Kvale. The results showed that
issues such as care and control,
family organisation, similarity to
others, interaction and support,
help from professionals, evolved
from data. The study suggests
that health professionals and
social workers need to know more
about the issues described in this
study.
