Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetes distress (DD) has been understudied in the pregnancy population. Pregnancy is known to be a complex, highly stressful time for women with diabetes because of medical risks and the high burden of diabetes management. Our aim in this study was to explain and understand DD in women with pre-existing diabetes in pregnancy. METHODS An explanatory, sequential mixed-methods study was undertaken. The first strand consisted of a cross-sectional study of 76 women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. A nested sampling approach was used to re-recruit 18 women back into the second strand for qualitative interviews using an interpretive description approach. RESULTS DD was measured by the validated Problem Area in Diabetes (PAID) scale. A PAID score of ≥40 was positive for distress. DD prevalence was 22.4% in the cross-sectional cohort and the average PAID score was 27.75 (standard deviation 16.08). In the qualitative strand, women with a range of PAID scores (10.0 to 60.0) were sampled for interviews. The majority of these participants described themes of DD in their interviews. Of the 15 women who described DD thematically, only 6 had positive PAID scores. CONCLUSIONS Integration of the mixed-methods data underscores important meta-inferences about DD in pregnancy, namely that DD was present to a greater degree than the PAID tool is sensitive to. DD was present qualitatively in most of the qualitative sample, despite interviewing women with a range of PAID scores. Future research on a pregnancy-specific DD scale is needed.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex chronic condition that requires ongoing self-management. Diabetes health coaching interventions provide personalized healthcare programming to address physical and psychosocial aspects of diabetes self-management. AIMS This scoping review aims to explore the contexts and settings of diabetes health coaching interventions for adults with T2D, using the RE-AIM framework. METHODS A search was completed in MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Emcare, Embase and Cochrane. Included citations described adults with exclusively T2D who had received a health coaching intervention. Citations were excluded if they focused on any other types of diabetes or diabetes prevention. RESULTS A total of 3418 records were identified through database and manual searches, with 29 citations selected for data extraction. Most health coaching interventions were delivered by health professionals, many employed lay health workers and a few included peer coaches. While many health coaching interventions were delivered remotely, in-person intervention settings were distributed among primary care, community health settings and non-healthcare sites. CONCLUSION The findings of this review suggest that diabetes health coaching may be implemented by a variety of providers in different settings. Further research is required to standardize training and implementation of health coaching and evaluate its long-term effectiveness.

Abstract
The purpose of this qualitative study was to gain a better understanding of the spheres of influence on engagement in recommended diabetes preventive health services among rural, working adults. Additionally, this study sought to understand the unique factors that influence diabetes self-management among rural, working adult populations. The sample included mostly African-American, low-income females with self-reported diabetes, who scored low on the Patient Activation Measure (PAM-10). Semi-structured interviews (N = 20) revealed that most participants struggled with the "ups and downs" of living with diabetes. Four major themes emerged from the data: "the struggle," "doing things together," "diabetes is not the priority," and "we're lucky to have what we have." Most participants were developing individual responsibility and motivation for a healthy future, but were overwhelmed by inconsistency in self-management, diabetes distress, lack of effective coping strategies, and lack of social and economic capital. The findings of this study indicate the need to further address psychological well-being among rural, working adults, yet rural populations often lack sufficient access to mental health care and formalized psychological support. Psychological support and resources are essential to facilitate engagement in diabetes self-management and preventive health services for rural, working adults.

[PMID: 35509697 PMCID: PMC9052264 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnss.2022.03.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Revised: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to translate the revised 17-item Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS17, 2017) into mandarin (simplified) Chinese and validate the Chinese version of DDS17 (C-DDS17, 2021) among adult patients with type 2 diabetes in China. Methods A scale translation and cross-sectional validation study was conducted. The DDS17 was translated into mandarin (simplified) Chinese through a five-step process: authorization, forward translation, synthesis, back translation, and amendment. During this session, 59 patients assessed the understandability and readability of the translated scale. From June 7 to September 4, 2021, a cross-sectional study that adhered to the COSMIN checklist was conducted with 400 individuals with type 2 diabetes from three Class A tertiary comprehensive hospitals in Beijing, China. The content, construct, convergent, discriminant validity, and reliability (Cronbach’s α coefficient and item-total correlation coefficients) of the C-DDS17 were evaluated. This study was a part of a project registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (no. ChiCTR2100047071). Results Among the participants, 33.3% (133/400) of them experienced moderate to high diabetes distress. The content validity indices of the C-DDS17 equaled 1.00. The scale yielded a four-factor structure. The average variances extracted were 0.42–0.57, which was lower than squared correlations. Cronbach’s α coefficient was 0.88 for the overall scale and ranged from 0.76 to 0.81 for sub-scales. Corrected item-total correlation coefficients ranged from 0.42 to 0.61. The eighth item (“Feeling that I am often failing with my diabetes routine”) was better fit to physician distress than regimen distress but had little influence on the validation results. Conclusions The C-DDS17 is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing diabetes distress in patients with type 2 diabetes. It is a promising instrument for early identification and management of diabetes distress in clinical practice and trials.

Abstract
Background Diabetes management is applied for the entire patients' lives, so it requires lifelong sustainable self-management actions to have a positive impact. Integrated care as coaching intervention is considered a program that facilitates and supports patients in managing diabetes more effectively and optimally. However, there are limited studies regarding this program in Indonesia. Objective This study aimed to explore the opinions of healthcare professionals concerning the importance of health coaching for patients with diabetes in Indonesia. Methods An invitation letter via email was distributed individually to participants from the three provinces of Java, Indonesia, between June and August 2020. The open-ended questions that consist of two sections were developed to explore the matter related to health coaching for patients with diabetes. A descriptive analysis of the participants' answers was used to explain the data comprehensively and accurately reveal the complete information. Results A total of seven healthcare professionals from four professions participated in the study. Based on healthcare professionals' opinions, this study revealed that the most common reason health coaching needs to be implemented is related to self-management in dealing with diabetes. Health coaching as a tailored-intervention strategy in diabetes self-management requires a multidisciplinary approach and considers the local wisdom to achieve the expected goals in all aspects of patients' lives. Thus, health coaching as an integral part of diabetes self-management is considered an appropriate program to cope with this problem. Conclusion Health coaching for patients with diabetes is useful and reasonable to implement among patients with appropriate strategies, especially in Indonesia and beyond.

Abstract
The current study aimed to examine the effectiveness of multimedia messaging service (MMS) education on exercise benefits and barriers in patients with type 2 diabetes. A quasi-experimental, pretest-post-test design recruited 98 patients with type 2 diabetes. The intervention group received MMS education to improve perceived exercise benefits and decrease exercise barriers over two months, and the control group received routine care. All patients completed a survey at three time points (baseline, 4 and 8 weeks post-intervention). The results showed that there was an improvement in both perceived life enhancement and physical performance domains in the intervention group. The exercise context barriers decreased after the first follow-up but increased during the second follow-up in the intervention group. Cohen's d values indicated a medium effect size in life enhancement (0.502) and physical performance (0.525) subscales. A small effect size was found in psychological outlook (0.196) and exercise context (0.132) subscales. However, there was no significant effect of the intervention in time expenditure (-0.244) and physical exertion (-0.119) subscales. In conclusion, theoretically based MMS health education targeting perceived exercise benefits and barriers was feasible and cost-effective in changing patients with diabetes' perceptions and intended behaviors about regular physical activity.
