Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the perceived facilitators and barriers for obtaining sufficient sleep in young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods A qualitative descriptive approach was used to generate data. In-depth semi-structured interviews with 30 young adults with T1D (66.7% female, mean age = 22.1 years) were conducted. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded using NVivo. Results Young adults with T1D reported feeling challenged at bedtime and overnight by the demands of a complex disease management regimen. General and diabetes-specific barriers and facilitators to obtaining sufficient sleep were the overarching themes in the present study. Young adults perceived that electronic device use was a facilitator for relaxation before bed and a barrier to sleep by some participants. Delays in bedtime or disruptions in sleep were common diabetes-specific barriers. Conclusions When designing sleep-promoting interventions for young adults with T1D, researchers should consider diabetes-specific challenges and solutions in addition to those present in the general young adult population.

1 型糖尿病年轻人的睡眠促进因素和障碍

目的 本研究的目的是探讨 1 型糖尿病 (T1D) 年轻成人获得充足睡眠的感知促进因素和障碍。方法 使用定性描述方法生成数据。对 30 名患有 T1D 的年轻人（66.7% 女性，平均年龄 = 22.1 岁）进行了深入的半结构化访谈。访谈被逐字转录并使用 NVivo 进行编码。结果 患有 T1D 的年轻成人报告说，在就寝时间和过夜时，复杂的疾病管理方案的要求会受到挑战。获得充足睡眠的一般性和糖尿病特异性障碍和促进因素是本研究的首要主题。年轻人认为电子设备的使用是睡前放松的促进因素，也是一些参与者入睡的障碍。就寝时间延迟或睡眠中断是常见的糖尿病特异性障碍。结论 在为患有 T1D 的年轻人设计促进睡眠的干预措施时，除了一般年轻人人群中存在的挑战和解决方案之外，研究人员还应考虑糖尿病特有的挑战和解决方案。
