ABSTRACT Stigma is pervasive and debilitating for people living with diabetes, carrying emotional, physiological, and social influences. Although researchers have investigated the sources and consequences of diabetes stigma, little is known about the lived experience of stigma. In this study, we used grounded theory methods to analyze data from 22 online diabetes forums. Results revealed that blaming and shaming was a core experience for people with diabetes, manifesting in feeling isolated, coping with weight, centering diabetes, and internalizing myths and misinformation. Posters disrupted their blame and shame by educating themselves and others and seeking mental health treatment. Results of the study have implications for research on diabetes stigma and practical value for mitigating the consequences of stigma.

在在线论坛上调查糖尿病耻辱的经历

摘要耻辱感对于患有糖尿病的人无处不在，并具有情感，生理和社会影响。尽管研究人员已经调查了糖尿病耻辱的来源和后果，但对耻辱的生活经验知之甚少。在这项研究中，我们使用了扎根的理论方法来分析来自22个在线糖尿病论坛的数据。结果显示，责备和羞辱是糖尿病患者的核心经历，表现为感到孤立，应付体重，集中糖尿病，内化神话和错误信息。张贴者通过对自己和他人进行教育并寻求心理保健来打乱他们的责备和耻辱。研究结果对糖尿病的耻辱感研究具有实际意义，对减轻耻辱感的后果具有实用价值。
