Co‐Designing a Multimodal Physical Activity Intervention for Individuals With Young‐Onset Type 2 Diabetes (18–40 Years) in China
BACKGROUND: A limited number of physical activity programmes exist for Chinese people with young-onset (18-40 years) type 2 diabetes amid its rising global prevalence. This study aims to develop a multimodal intervention for improving physical activity levels for individuals with young-onset type 2 diabetes using co-design. METHODS: The development process included three stages. Stage 1 involved synthesising the findings of a review of existing p…
Developing an Intervention for Safe Hospital Insulin Use for Older Adults With Diabetes Undergoing Surgical Admission (SHINE Study): A Co‐Design Study
BACKGROUND: Insulin errors in inpatients with diabetes occur frequently during surgical admissions. Older adults have higher risks. There is a need for service user involvement in developing complex interventions to improve insulin safety in hospitals. OBJECTIVE: To develop a logic model for a system-based safety intervention to support safer insulin use for older adults with diabetes undergoing surgical hospital admission. METHODS: A co-design a…
Developing Initial Programme Theories for a Realist Evaluation of an Intervention to Support Adults in Adapting to Life With Type 1 Diabetes: Methodological Insights and Implications for Practice
A key component of realist evaluation is the development of initial programme theories. However, methods for developing initial programme theories are often underreported and there is limited guidance on how to construct initial programme theories based on exploratory qualitative data. In this article, we attend to these gaps by describing the development of initial programme theories for a realist evaluation of an intervention to support adults …
‘Why, Can I Not Have Control of My Own Insulin?’: Qualitative Exploration Amongst Older Adults With Diabetes With Lived Experience of Surgical Hospital Admission
AIM: To explore the experiences and perspectives of older adults living with diabetes, in relation to insulin management during a surgical hospital admission and identify factors that appear to be associated with insulin safety in these older people. To identify key messages that address people with diabetes priorities, to be used in staff education. METHODS: Qualitative study, conducted in a single, rural NHS hospital. Ten semi-structured phone …
The Process of Adaptation Following a New Diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes in Adulthood: A Meta-Synthesis
While Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is generally associated with childhood, half of all cases occur in adulthood. The adaptive strategies individuals employ during the initial adaptive phase may have an important impact on their risk of future diabetes complications and their psychosocial well-being. We conducted a systematic review of six databases and included nine qualitative studies in a meta-synthesis, the aims of which were to develop a better unde…
Perceptions Among Women With Gestational Diabetes
Women with gestational diabetes are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, which could be prevented or delayed by lifestyle modification. Lifestyle interventions need to take into account the specific situation of women with gestational diabetes. We aimed to gain a deeper understanding of women's experiences of gestational diabetes, their diabetes risk perceptions, and their views on type 2 diabetes prevention, to inform future lifestyle int…
Patients' and professionals' experiences and perspectives of obesity in health‐care settings: A synthesis of current research
Background Obesity‐related stigma likely influences how obese people interact with health‐care professionals and access health care. Aim To undertake a synthesis of studies examining the views and experiences of both obese people in relation to their health‐care provision and health‐care professionals in providing care to obese patients. Search strategy A systematic search of key electronic databases relating to professional or patient experience…
OP90 Non-Attendance at Diabetes Eye Screening and Risk of Sight-Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy: Population-based Cohort Study
Background Population-based diabetes eye screening aims to reduce the occurrence of visual loss from diabetic eye disease. This study evaluated whether repeated non-attendance for diabetes eye screening is associated with risk of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR). Methods A population-based cohort study was conducted using diabetes eye screening appointments and results bare presented for N = 35,253 patients resident in three South Lo…
The M-C-M′ cycle and social capital
Art. X.—Notes on the Ruins of Wallabhipura
On the western shore of the Gulf of Cambay, a few miles to the north of Bhaonagar, among a range of granite hills which, lying in a country level as an immense unruffled lake, appear like a cluster of islands floating on the waters, nestles the little township of Chamardi. Overhanging this village on the eastern side is a rugged peak dedicated to Màtà Kodiar, at almost the pinnacle of which a huge boulder of granite, bearing at a distance some re…
