Abstract: (87 Views)
Backgrounds and objective: Diabetes is one of the most important health challenges of the present era, associated with numerous physical, psychological, and social complications that affect the quality of life of patients. Effective care for diabetic patients requires a comprehensive approach. Parse's "Human Becoming" theory and Rogers' "Unitary Human Beings" theory can provide a valuable framework for a deeper understanding of patients' lived experiences and the provision of evidence-based care. The purpose of this study is to investigate the successful experiences of elderly people with diabetes based on Parse and Rogers' theory.
Materials and Methods: This case study was conducted with a qualitative approach in 2025. The data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews conducted in person with a 67-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes in one of the cities in northern Iran. The interviews were designed based on the concepts of Rogers' and Parse's perspectives. Data analysis was performed using Graneheim and Lundman's inductive content analysis method.
Results: Data analysis led to the extraction of six main categories: "adaptation to lifestyle changes," "having social and family identity," "self-care," "effective support systems," and "self-care and disease acceptance." Additionally, each of these six categories was placed within one of the themes present in Rogers and Parse's theory.
Conclusion: The findings indicate that acceptance of the disease and the re-creation of meaning within patients lived experiences can enhance adaptation, satisfaction, and personal growth. Applying Rogers’ and Parse’s theoretical frameworks in diabetes care may provide valuable guidance for designing comprehensive, human-centered interventions.
