Simplicity, flexibility, and respect: preferences related to patient education in hardly reached people with type 2 diabetes

Abstract: Individuals with lower income and less education are two to four times more likely to develop diabetes than more advantaged individuals. In response to this, there is a need for developing health promotion activities targeting hardly reached populations. The aim of this study was to examine the perspectives of hardly reached people with type 2 diabetes on patient education, focusing on their wishes and needs regarding format and approach. Data were collected through qualitative interviews with nine individuals… Show more

“…Likewise, the preference of vulnerable people with T2DM for a compassionate personal caregiver has been found in similar studies. One study of “hardly reached” people with T2D showed that disrespectful caregivers could add to the person’s experience of feeling stupid and distressed [46] . Conversely, a study of regular email interaction with a supportive personal caregiver could infer a sense of safety in people with T2DM [36] .…”

“…Given the increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes and elevated risk of diabetes-related complications in people with low socioeconomic status, it is critical that diabetes care and education programmes support this population in optimal diabetes management. Reaching people with low socioeconomic status through diabetes self-management education programmes, however, poses a considerable challenge for the healthcare system as they attend support programmes less frequently than those with high socioeconomic status (Johansen, Skovbo, & Christiansen, 2012;Torenholt et al, 2015). Furthermore, they benefit less in regard to changing lifestyle and adhering to medical treatment than people with high socioeconomic status (Goldman & Smith, 2002;Koetsenruijter et al, 2016).…”
