摘要

This study assessed the perceived relational factors that influence blood glucose levels in adults with Type I diabetes, a chronic medical condition characterized by an individual's blood glucose level being consistently higher than medically recommended. This qualitative analysis, using the phenomenological method of study, examined 15 participants with Type I diabetes and explored relationship factors contributing to the perception of fluctuating blood sugar levels. The research question was, how do interactions between significant others and the individual with Type I diabetes affect blood glucose levels. Data collected resulted from qualitative interviews, pile sort exercises, and participant completion of the Coping Health Inventory for Parents (CHIP). Blood glucose was not measured in this study; rather, participants recalled glucose levels previously measured. Results indicated several relational factors that study participants believed negatively impacted their blood glucose levels, such as instability in relationships, disagreements, and arguments raised blood sugar levels; however, these people look to significant others for support. Results from pile sort and CHIP data confirmed this. Another interesting finding was that most did not monitor their blood glucose levels regularly. The results of this study could assist psychologists, national clearinghouses, educators, medical personal, and counseling facilities, as well as those who have diabetes, to understand the relational variables that affect the blood glucose levels of Type I adult diabetics as viewed from the perspective of the diabetic. With this knowledge, adults with Type I diabetes and those who treat them will have information to help them keep blood glucose levels within recommended ranges which could thus results in reductions to long-term costs associated with treatment of diabetes.
