Participating healthcare providers.

Background
Young people with Type 1 diabetes in Saudi Arabia transition from paediatric to adult care at a culturally defined age of 14, which is younger than the average transition age in Western societies. The aim of this study was to elicit the experiences of young people with Type 1 diabetes, their parents, and healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia as they transitioned from paediatric to adult care.
Methods
In healthcare, Design Thinking is a human-centred approach that draws on participants’ experiences and perspectives to design and develop interventions, models, or services that meet the needs of stakeholders. This study reports the first inspiration phase of the Design Thinking process. Four parallel exploration workshops were held with pre- and post-transition young people with Type 1 diabetes (n = 12), their parents (n = 8), and healthcare providers (n = 7).
Findings
Six key themes were identified from the workshops’ data analysis. For young people, the key themes were facing the unknown and preparedness; developing autonomy and recognition as an independent person; and interacting with the adult healthcare team. For parents, the themes were navigating the shift in parental role and involvement in care, interacting with healthcare professionals, and changing support needs. For healthcare providers, the key theme was balancing independence and care approaches.
Conclusion
The Inspiration phase of the Design Thinking approach provided valuable insights from the healthcare transition experiences of young people with Type 1 diabetes, their parents, and healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia. The generated insights facilitated the identification of areas for interventions in the process’s following phases.

研究背景
沙特阿拉伯的1型糖尿病（Type 1 Diabetes）青少年患者会在文化约定俗成的14岁时完成从儿科照护到成人照护的转衔，这一年龄早于西方社会的平均转衔年龄。本研究旨在探究沙特阿拉伯地区1型糖尿病青少年患者、其家属以及医疗照护提供者在完成儿科至成人照护转衔过程中的真实体验。
研究方法
在医疗照护领域，设计思维（Design Thinking）是一种以人为中心的研究方法，它依托参与者的体验与视角，设计并开发契合利益相关方需求的干预方案、服务模式或相关服务。本研究报告了设计思维流程中的首个灵感启发阶段。研究共开展了4场平行探索工作坊，参与对象包括转衔前后的1型糖尿病青少年患者（n=12）、其家属（n=8）以及医疗照护提供者（n=7）。
研究结果
通过对工作坊收集的数据进行分析，本研究共识别出6个核心主题。针对青少年患者群体，核心主题包括：直面未知与准备就绪、培养自主能力并获得独立个体身份认同、与成人医疗照护团队开展互动。针对家属群体，核心主题包括：适配角色转变与照护参与度变化、与医疗专业人员互动、照料支持需求的动态调整。针对医疗照护提供者群体，核心主题为平衡患者独立性与照护方式之间的关系。
研究结论
本次设计思维的灵感启发阶段，从沙特阿拉伯地区1型糖尿病青少年患者、家属及医疗照护提供者的医疗转衔体验中获取了极具价值的洞见。这些所得洞见为后续流程阶段的干预方向确定提供了有力支撑。
