"It [Diabetes] is From God and I Need to Take Care of Myself": Type 1 Diabetes Self-Management Among Adolescents and Their Parents in Jordan. Curr Diabetes Rev 2022; 18:e140222201109. [PMID: 35156585 DOI: 10.2174/1573399818666220214114908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2021] [Revised: 10/28/2021] [Accepted: 11/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 1 diabetes is the most common endocrine condition among adolescents. Diabetes self-management can be challenging during adolescence. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to understand how adolescents and their parents manage type 1 diabetes in Jordan. METHODS Constructivist grounded theory methodology principles were used to achieve the study aim. A total of 48 participants were recruited using purposive and theoretical sampling techniques, including adolescents and their parents. Data were collected (October 2016 - April 2017) using 38 semi-structured, audio-recorded interviews (one-to-one or joint interviews based on participants' preferences). Data were collected and analyzed concurrently using different levels of coding, constant comparative analysis, and memo writing. This study was approved by relevant ethics committees from the University of Manchester and Jordan University Hospital. RESULTS The theme of living with diabetes is presented and discussed in this article. Culture emerged as the central theme; two aspects of culture are presented in this article: collectivism and cultural beliefs. CONCLUSION This study identified that diabetes self-management could be influenced by the culture in which Jordanian adolescents live in as well as being shaped by their religious beliefs. These findings are potentially transferable to other Arab and non-Arab countries that share similar cultural aspects and religious beliefs.

Filling gaps in type 1 diabetes and exercise research: a scoping review and priority-setting project. BMJ Open Diabetes Res Care 2020; 8:8/1/e001023. [PMID: 32139601 PMCID: PMC7059416 DOI: 10.1136/bmjdrc-2019-001023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2019] [Revised: 12/19/2019] [Accepted: 01/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Our team examined the characteristics of patient engagement (PE) practices in exercise-based randomized trials in type 1 diabetes (T1D), and facilitated T1D stakeholders in determining the top 10 list of priorities for exercise research. Two methodological approaches were employed: a scoping review and a modified James Lind Alliance priority-setting partnership. Published (Medline, Embase, CINAHL and Central databases) and grey literature (www.clinicaltrials.gov) were searched to identify randomized controlled trials of exercise interventions lasting minimum 4 weeks and available in English. We extracted information on PE and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to identify if patient perspectives had been implemented. Based on results, we set out to determine exercise research priorities as a first step towards a patient-engaged research agenda. An online survey was distributed across Canada to collect research questions from patients, caregivers and healthcare providers. We qualitatively analyzed submitted questions and compiled a long list that a 12-person stakeholder steering committee used to identify the top 10 priority research questions. Of 9962 identified sources, 19 published trials and 4 trial registrations fulfilled inclusion criteria. No evidence of PE existed in any included study. Most commonly measured PROs were frequency of hypoglycemia (n=7) and quality of life (n=4). The priority-setting survey yielded 194 submitted research questions. Steering committee rankings identified 10 priorities focused on lifestyle factors and exercise modifications to maintain short-term glycemic control. Recent exercise-based randomized trials in T1D have not included PE and PROs. Patient priorities for exercise research have yet to be addressed with adequately designed clinical trials.
