Living with a multimorbidity. A qualitative study on the personal perspectives of individuals with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) frequently co-exist as multimorbid conditions, creating challenges for individuals in managing their health and maintaining quality of life. However, research exploring the complexities of living with these conditions are scarce. This study addresses this gap by qualitatively exploring the experiences and perceptions of affected individuals. Thirty-two participants with T2D and atheroscleroti…
Advancing the safe motherhood initiative
Although the Safe Motherhood Initiative is currently a global priority, the implications of maternal self-medication for meeting Safe Motherhood and Sustainable Development Goal 3 objectives in low- and middle-income countries has yet to be addressed. Although local medical doctors are an influential stakeholder group, able to determine health policy, how they view and feel about the problem of antimicrobial self-medication during pregnancy is no…
Health professionals interface with cultural conflict in the delivery of type 2 diabetes care
OBJECTIVE: This study explored the knowledge and experiences of health professionals (HPs) caring for South Asian patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). DESIGN: Fourteen HPs, who supported patients with T2D, were interviewed. The recruitment strategy employed purposeful and theoretical sampling methods to recruit HPs who worked across primary and secondary care settings. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Grounded Theory (GT) methodology and analysis generated…
Self-rated health and multimorbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes
The relationship between multimorbidity and self-rated health is well established. This study examined self-rated health in relation to multimorbidity, glycaemia and body weight specifically in adults with type 2 diabetes. Bootstrapped hierarchical logistic regression and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used to analyse survey data from 280 adults with type 2 diabetes. The odds of 'fair/bad/very bad' self-rated health increased 10-fold in…
The best possible self‐intervention as a viable public health tool for the prevention of type 2 diabetes
BACKGROUND: Public health initiatives seek to modify lifestyle behaviours associated with risk (e.g., diet, exercise, and smoking), but underpinning psychological and affective processes must also be considered to maximize success. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to qualitatively assess how participants engaged with and utilized the best possible self (BPS)-intervention specifically as a type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevention tool. DESIGN AND METHODS: Four…
Efficacy of the Best Possible Self protocol in diabetes self-management
Recent research has demonstrated that positive affect may facilitate illness self-management. This study used a sequential exploratory mixed-methods typology to assess whether a brief writing task designed to boost positive affect (the Best Possible Self protocol) could improve aspects of diabetes self-management, specifically. A qualitative investigation explored people with diabetes' ( n = 20) views regarding Best Possible Self feasibility and …
Are Ethnic Disparities in HbA1c Levels Explained by Mental Wellbeing? Analysis of Population-Based Data from the Health Survey for England
Caucasian experience better HbA 1c levels compared with their South Asian counterparts. However, this association is partly confounded by individual differences in perceived energy levels, which is implicated in better glycaemic control, and appears to serve a protective function in South Asians
Ethnic inequalities in doctor-patient communication regarding personal care plans
Ethnic disparities in doctor-patient interaction, including PCP-related communication, are partly explained by positive mental wellbeing. Gauging positive psychological moods in patients, particularly self-worth, self-perceived vigour and decisiveness, are relevant to addressing ethnic inequalities in doctor-patient communication. As PCPs may have direct implications for patient health it is important for health professionals to address deficits …
