The purpose of this study was to develop a grounded theory from the patient and support person perspective on how biopsychosocial and spiritual factors influence DKA hospital readmissions. This grounded theory study sampled participants from one Southeastern US academic medical center who had been admitted with DKA. Semi-structured interviews were conducted over a 10-month period from 2016 to 2017. Participants were interviewed until thematic saturation was reached. Participants included 13 patients and 6 support persons, majority Black, African Americans. Analysis led to the overarching theme of Putting the Pieces Together. This consists of the subthemes of contextual life factors and action strategies that participants attributed to their cycle of readmissions for DKA. Results are not generalizable to all patients who experience DKA but are a reflection of the experiences of a predominately non-Hispanic Black/African American subset of the larger population. This study supports the need for equal importance to be placed on addressing the patient’s availability of a support system that promotes patient agency, supports their cultural beliefs, and respects the contextual factors that influence diabetes management and may break or maintain the readmission cycle. Healthcare systems must develop processes that ensure community and family support systems are available to patients and understand the importance of their role in disease management.

拼凑起来:糖尿病酮症酸中毒再入院的探索

本研究的目的是从患者和支持者的角度发展一个关于生物心理社会和精神因素如何影响 DKA 医院再入院的扎根理论。这项扎根理论研究从美国东南部的一个学术医疗中心抽取了已被 DKA 录取的参与者。从 2016 年到 2017 年的 10 个月期间进行了半结构化访谈。 对参与者进行了访谈,直到达到主题饱和。参与者包括 13 名患者和 6 名支持人员,大多数是黑人和非裔美国人。分析导致了将碎片放在一起的总体主题。这包括参与者归因于他们的 DKA 再入院周期的情境生活因素和行动策略的子主题。结果不能推广到所有经历 DKA 的患者,而是反映了主要是非西班牙裔黑人/非裔美国人的更大人群子集的经历。本研究支持同样重视解决患者是否可以获得支持系统的必要性,该系统可促进患者代理、支持他们的文化信仰并尊重影响糖尿病管理并可能中断或维持再入院周期的背景因素。医疗保健系统必须制定流程,确保社区和家庭支持系统可供患者使用,并了解他们在疾病管理中的作用的重要性。本研究支持同样重视解决患者是否可以获得支持系统的必要性,该系统可促进患者代理、支持他们的文化信仰并尊重影响糖尿病管理并可能中断或维持再入院周期的背景因素。医疗保健系统必须制定流程,确保社区和家庭支持系统可供患者使用,并了解他们在疾病管理中的作用的重要性。本研究支持同样重视解决患者是否可以获得支持系统的必要性,该系统可促进患者代理、支持他们的文化信仰并尊重影响糖尿病管理并可能中断或维持再入院周期的背景因素。医疗保健系统必须制定流程,确保社区和家庭支持系统可供患者使用,并了解他们在疾病管理中的作用的重要性。
