Adolescents’ experience of self-management in type 1 diabetes : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund Ungdomstiden är en utmanande period då identiteten skapas. Att leva med typ 1 diabetes (T1D) och utföra egenvård under denna period i livet kan upplevas påfrestande. Sjuksköterskan har således en betydande roll som stöd för ungdomar vid egenvård.

Syfte Att beskriva ungdomars upplevelse av egenvård vid typ 1 diabetes.

Metod Litteraturöversikten har baserats på tolv vetenskapliga artiklar hämtade från databaserna CINAHL och PubMed. Artiklarna har kvalitetsgranskats enligt granskningsmall och dataanalys har genomförts. Analysen resulterade i två huvudkategorier; Att utföra egenvård självständigt; Omgivningens påverkan på egenvård.

Resultat Ungdomar upplever att utförandet av egenvård ofta resulterar i psykiska och fysiska påfrestningar. Egenvård är speciellt utmanande i sociala kontexter då de är rädda för omgivningens reaktioner. Ungdomar vill ta ansvar och utföra egenvård självständigt utan hjälp från familjen och sociala nätverk. Dock uppskattar de att få stöd vid speciellt utmanande situationer.

Slutsats Ungdomar upplever en konstant rädsla för att anses vara ”onormal” vilket är en stor anledning till att egenvården brister. Ungdomar vill utföra egenvård självständigt men upplever att de behöver mer kunskap. Omgivningen behöver skapa sig en uppfattning om ungdomens livssituation för att kunna ge stöd och främja god egenvård.
