Group-based storytelling in disease self-management among people with diabetes. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study examined how storytelling can help individuals with type 2 diabetes manage their condition better by engaging them in shared experiences and knowledge exchange.
  • - Eight participants in Toronto took part in two storytelling sessions, where they discussed their personal diabetes management stories, which were analyzed for themes related to community support and learning.
  • - Results indicated that storytelling can enhance peer support, empower participants, and foster a sense of community, suggesting that integrating such storytelling interventions with traditional education could improve diabetes self-management strategies.

Article Abstract

Objective: We explored the underlying mechanisms by which storytelling can promote disease self-management among people with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: Two, eight-session storytelling interventions were delivered to a total of eight adults with type 2 diabetes at a community health center in Toronto, Ontario. Each week, participants shared stories about diabetes self-management topics of their choice. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, transcripts from each session and focus groups conducted during and following the intervention were coded and analyzed using NVivo software. Through content analysis, we identified categories that describe processes and benefits of the intervention that may contribute to and support diabetes self-management.

Results: Our analysis suggests that storytelling facilitates knowledge exchange, collaborative learning, reflection, and making meaning of one's disease. These processes, in turn, could potentially build a sense of community that facilitates peer support, empowerment, and active engagement in disease self-management.

Conclusion: Venues that offer patients opportunities to speak of their illness management experiences are currently limited in our healthcare systems. In conjunction with traditional diabetes self-management education, storytelling can support several core aspects of diabetes self-management. Our findings could guide the design and/or evaluation of future story-based interventions.
