The place of medical devices in the rearrangement of family relationships and its constitution as a community of practice

Through an ethnographic research carried on in two hospitals and with 13 families of children (6-14 years) suffering from Type 1 Diabetes, the contribution proposes to study the ways in which these families, by appropriating the treatments and medical devices, constitute themselves as “communities of practice” (Lave et Wenger, 1991) around the daily management of the illness. We will see how they collectively elaborate their own language, routines, ways of doing things and learnings that we will put in relation with those delivered by the hospital and translated into the different technical devices.
