Experiences of women of childbearing age with diabetes skin pruritus: An interpretative phenomenological analysis

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Qualitative study

Authors' conclusion

The physical and mental health of women of childbearing age with diabetes skin pruritus has been severely compromised, particularly their sense of self-worth as women of childbearing age. Despite this, they demonstrate a solid willingness to seek treatment. Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen research in this field, improve health education, establish online support platforms for sharing experiences, and enhance government oversight of social security measures. These initiatives will promote active treatment and recovery among patients, ultimately improving their quality of life.
