The purpose of this study was to use a phenomenological approach to explore the essential structure of mothers' life experience when helping their first- to third-grade children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) make life adjustments at school. Twelve mothers whose children had been diagnosed with T1DM participated in this study at a teaching hospital in Taipei, Taiwan. Study results revealed six themes and identified the presence of various dynamic relationships between T1DM symptoms, the children's development, and collaborative self-care.
