To describe the interpretation of the educational admission experiences of patients newly diagnosed with type2 diabetes from the viewpoint of adult learning.
Targeting four patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes within the past six months, data were collected through observations of experiences during the educational admission process and semi-structured interviews after discharge.
The collected data were analyzed using the nursing quality integration method (the KJ method).
Three core titles were identified from the data.
The core title [New understanding about the one's own body, acquisition of knowledge and technology] included the title < Changes in body and feelings that are discovered during the hospitalization experience affect the images of future life>.
The core title [Critical reflection and quest for a new life] included the title <Remembering past experiences and interpreting them with the new knowledge gained during hospitalization and one's own tendencies or situation>.
The core title [Building ability and confidence by trying, living on the basis of modified frames of reference] included the title < If it does not work as well as life in the hospital, life after discharge must be planned out with an eye toward balance>.
The findings of this research show that the educational admission experience of patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes involves forming new frames of reference for living with diabetes and living on the basis of frames of reference represented in the learning process.
