• TITLE: Patient Perspectives of Sharing Experiences in Group-Based Diabetes Education: A Second-Order Analysis

  AUTHORS: Vibeke Stenov, Ingrid Willaing

  KEYWORDS: Diabetes, Health Education, Narratives, Peer Support, Qualitative Methods

  JOURNAL NAME: Psychology, Vol.7 No.1, January 8, 2016

  ABSTRACT: The study aimed to develop a second-order theoretical analysis based on qualitative interviews exploring the experiences of persons with diabetes attending group-based diabetes education. Bruner’s cultural psychology and White and Epston’s narrative therapy provided a theoretical foundation for the analysis. The analysis indicated that telling and listening to stories from everyday life with diabetes in a peer group can assist participants in reinterpreting ways of living with diabetes. Sharing experiences with peers in group-based diabetes education seems to be supportive and useful when individuals are trying to find strategies to cope with diabetes in everyday life.
