The qualitative study outlines a growing issue with Type 1 Diabetes in the world today, with 215,000 children suffering from the condition in the U.S. These children require daily administration of insulin, which means they are dependent upon nursing care frequently.

Other research provided proof that preparation and perspectives of health care providers have a large impact on the care of patients dealing with various conditions: “In a rehabilitation rotation, medical students were randomly assigned a disability such as paralysis, blindness, or deafness, and asked to perform medical activities designed to demonstrate practical issues faced by patients with these disabilities. The students gained new insight into what it was like to have the disability, improving rapport and communication with patients” (Par. 18). The authors additionally used research provided by the International Journal of Nursing Education, Applied Nursing Research, Medical Education, and the International Diabetes Federation, to conclude that nurses and health care providers have a large impact on the care and treatment of diabetes and therefore their training and perspectives must be analyzed to improve …show more content…
The specific study involved 21 students—2 males and 19 females who were enrolled in a Family Nurse Practitioner graduate program (Pg. 54). The authors explain that the students were required to maintain a daily journal while utilizing the insulin pump. Each volunteer was provided a consent form to sign which would allow researchers to read and observe their journals. The data analysis of these journals involved dividing data into lines of code in order to determine particular codes. “As major themes emerged, they were identified and coded by the author and verified by other members of the research team. Themes and subthemes were discussed until consensus was reached” (Pg. 55). The data was also analyzed to determine trustworthiness and credibility in order to avoid biasness among the
