Abstrakt: Background: Type 1 diabetes management for young children requires caregiver involvement to prevent serious health complications. Objectives: Explore the lived experience of rural caregivers' health management routines and perceptions of an occupation-based coaching (OBC) intervention.
Methodology: Following a 12-week, OBC telehealth intervention designed to promote diabetes management and caregiver psychosocial well-being, researchers interviewed eight rural caregivers to explore their perceived quality of life utilizing a phenomenological approach.
Findings: Three themes emerged related to caregivers' OBC intervention needs: occupational deprivation and decreased well-being; longing for connection with social supports; and desire for knowledgeable, relatable, and accessible providers. Two themes emerged related to their experiences postintervention: satisfaction with diabetes management and psychosocial support and renewed hope for childhood normalcy.
Conclusion: Despite drastic shift in family routines after a child's T1D diagnosis, caregivers reported acceptability of OBC for improving health management routines in a rural community following OBC intervention.
