“…Whereas this study focuses on the individual’s experience of working with T1D, a considerable body of research has focused on the work-related consequences of having T1D, such as work disability, absenteeism, unemployment, and retirement (Cleal et al, 2015; Dray-Spira et al, 2013; Ervasti et al, 2015; Nexø et al, 2019; H.

Conflicting Logics in a Changing Action Space: Challenges Related to Type 1 Diabetes in Work Life

2021

Well-being at work is important to quality of life. However, reconciling work and diabetes management is often challenging; failing to do so threatens the well-being of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We explored the mechanisms underlying diabetes-specific challenges at work using theories of logics, involvement, and action space. Thematic analyses of two data sets, consisting of interviews with adults with T1D ( n = 22) showed that people with T1D experience a conflict between two logics linked to diabetes and work, owing to the contradictory demands of work life and diabetes management. Individuals’ ability to lower the priority of work tasks—shifting them from their main to a side involvement so as to properly manage T1D—helps resolve the conflict, as does being able to create an enabling action space for diabetes management at work. These insights can inform interventions targeting the well-being of workers with T1D.

“…Work is an important aspect of quality of life and an important setting for daily diabetes management. Diabetes mellitus affects an individual's ability to work, as indicated by increased risks of short-and long-term sickness absence, unemployment (5)(6)(7)(8)(9), and disability pension (10)(11)(12). Although adverse work outcomes for people with diabetes are likely to vary across life stages (13), no studies have yet examined diabetes-associated work disability from a life-course perspective.…”

Working life expectancies among individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes over a 30-year period by Nexø MA, Pedersen J, Cleal B, Andersen I, Bjørner JB This study predicts work life expectancies among individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes over 30 years. Work life losses for people with diabetes are substantial and characterized by social disparities. The results call for new strategies to prevent and manage individual and societal costs, particularly for individuals with less years of education.

Objective: This scoping literature review explores the impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of health care workers (HCWs). HCWs play a vital role in the global health care system, with the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrating their effectiveness and worth beyond any doubt. However, HCWs are among the most vulnerable members of the health care system because they are most susceptible to stress, exhaustion, and occupational health risks. Method: The review was conducted in 2021 and included articles published in English in the past five years that explore diabetic HCWs’ QoL and studies intended to assess the relationship between work stress and DM. In total, 27 relevant articles were found that satisfied the inclusion criteria and were critically and thematically analyzed. Results: Most DM studies have focused on the clinical management of patients, but researchers have paid little attention to the high-risk group of HCWs with diabetes. In addition to fulfilling their job mandate, HCWs are burdened with various sociological stressors that affect their QoL. Conclusion: This literature review suggests DM has a significant impact on QoL in the work–life context. However, there is limited evidence to demonstrate the impact of DM on the QoL of HCWs. Thus, further research is needed in this area to improve the provision of integrated care.
