Young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) experience burnout by deprioritizing diabetes self-management (DSM) due to exhaustion. Identifying risk factors and coping strategies is crucial for managing T1DM effectively.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Psychology
- Public Health
Background:
- Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) requires lifelong self-management.
- Young adults face unique challenges in managing T1DM.
- Diabetes burnout is an emerging concern in this population.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the lived experience of diabetes burnout in young adults with T1DM.
- To explore participants' perspectives on risk and protective factors for burnout.
- To identify strategies for balancing daily life with diabetes self-management (DSM).
Main Methods:
- Qualitative descriptive study design.
- Semi-structured interviews with 11 young adults with T1DM.
- Thematic coding and analysis of interview transcripts.
Main Results:
- Diabetes burnout is characterized by a desire to neglect DSM due to exhaustion, apathy, and a wish for normalcy.
- Key risk and protective factors influencing burnout were identified.
- Participants shared strategies for achieving a balance between DSM and everyday life.
Conclusions:
- Diabetes burnout is a distinct psychosocial experience in T1DM management.
- Healthcare providers can use these findings to identify at-risk individuals.
- Effective support can mitigate the burden of T1DM and prevent burnout.
