Aims: Closed-loop insulin delivery has the potential to improve day-to-day glucose control in type 1 diabetes pregnancy. However, the psychosocial impact of day-and-night usage of automated closed-loop systems during pregnancy is unknown. Our aim was to explore women’s experiences and relationships between technology experience and levels of trust in closed-loop therapy. Methods: We recruited 16 pregnant women with type 1 diabetes to a randomized crossover trial of sensor-augmented pump therapy compared to automated closed-loop therapy. We conducted semistructured qualitative interviews at baseline and follow-up. Findings from follow-up interviews are reported here. Results: Women described benefits and burdens of closed-loop systems during pregnancy. Feelings of improved glucose control, excitement and peace of mind were counterbalanced by concerns about technical glitches, CGM inaccuracy, and the burden of maintenance requirements. Women expressed varied but mostly high levels of trust in closed-loop therapy. Conclusions: Women displayed complex psychosocial responses to day-and-night closed-loop therapy in pregnancy. Clinicians should consider closed-loop therapy not just in terms of its potential impact on biomedical outcomes but also in terms of its impact on users’ lives.

Insight Into

Bullying among youth is rampant and research suggests that young Aboriginal women may be particularly susceptible to bullying.Sport participation has been identified as a possible mechanism to prevent bullying behaviors, yet few researchers have explored bullying within the context of sport. The purpose of this qualitative description study was to explore young Aboriginal women’s experiences of bullying in team sports. Eight young Aboriginal women participated in one-on-one semistructured interviews and follow-up phone interviews.Data were analyzed using a content analysis, and findings were represented by five themes: (1) mean mugging, (2) sport specific, (3) happens all the time, (4) team bonding to address bullying, and (5) prevention through active coaches. The detailed descriptions shared by participants provide insight into a broad range of bullying experiences and serve as a foundation for addressing the bullying that occurs in sport.

This article attempts to engage and advance tourism’s epistemological and methodological discussions. It explores how the transformative paradigm offers an opportunity to feminist tourism researchers to broaden their methods base and obtain nuanced understandings of systematic and localised oppression without compromising research principles, such as positionality and reflexivity. To illustrate the value of this approach, we combine a qualitative study of midlife (35–55 years) single women’s holiday experiences with a follow-up quantitative study of young (18–30 years) single women’s experiences. We argue that merging these studies creates new understandings of intersecting power relations related to gender, age and singlehood and that in a broader sense working within the transformative paradigm has the potential to promote paradigm peace in feminist tourism research.
