Living With Type 2 Diabetes in San Jose Tecoh, Yucatan, Mexico: A Phenomenological Study.
Journal of Transcultural Nursing : Official Journal of the Transcultural Nursing Society 2018 July 2
INTRODUCTION: Understanding the psychosocial aspects that accompany and influence type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has become increasingly important for culturally appropriate health care in Mexico. The purpose of this study was to understand the lived experience of individuals' with T2DM in Merida, Yucatan.
METHOD: A phenomenological method guided data collection and analysis. Patients in San Jose Tecoh, diagnosed with T2DM for at least 5 years, were interviewed.
RESULTS: Eight (six female, two male) patients described their lived experience. Individuals discussed knowledge of the disease (e.g., care, beliefs about origin, consequences, type, symptoms) and changes arising from diagnosis (e.g., emotional, dietary, physiological, lifestyle and self-care, economic).
DISCUSSION: The Mayan-Yucatecan cultural perceptions of factors that influence physical health are unique to this region. Nurses can facilitate improvement in T2DM health outcomes through providing information and encouraging self-care. Our results emphasize the importance of considering T2DM in terms of differences between and within culture.
