RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To explore the experiences of peer leaders with respect to delivering core components of a 12-month, telephone-based peer support intervention in type 2 diabetes within a tertiary-care setting. METHODS: Seventeen peer leaders were recruited and interviewed. Interviews lasted approximately 20 to 45 min, were audio-taped, and transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were analysed by two team members using the qualitative descriptive approach. FINDINGS: Peer leaders reported mutually beneficial and reciprocal relationships with participants. They encountered challenges in maintaining regular contact with participants and in motivating them to make lifestyle changes. To improve the programme, peer leaders suggested having more frequent - but shorter - training sessions and reducing the diabetes education component of the training programme. To enhance the intervention fidelity and retention rate, they recommended matching peer leaders to participants on more meaningful variables (e.g. diabetes-related commonalities, personality, life experiences, etc.) beyond just gender, geographic proximity and availability. They also requested more frequent face-to-face contacts with participants (Modality of Contact), and additional ongoing support from the research team. CONCLUSION: Peer leaders were satisfied with the intervention design. However, future studies may consider more comprehensive peer leader-matching algorithms and increased opportunities for in-person communication modalities. CLINICALTRIALS: gov Identifier: NCT02804620.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to determine the impact of a 3-month diabetes self-management education and support (DSME/DSMS) intervention involving both professional and peer support on glycemic control and diabetes distress in South Asian adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) living in Metro Vancouver. METHODS: We recruited 114 South Asian adults with T2D for a study conducted across 7 sites in Metro Vancouver. A previous DSME/DSMS intervention was modified using participant feedback. Participants attended the updated intervention involving 6 biweekly group-based DSME sessions co-led by a diabetes educator and peer leader and 6 biweekly DSMS sessions delivered by a peer leader. Assessments were conducted at baseline and 3 months. Primary outcomes were glycated hemoglobin (A1C) and diabetes distress. Secondary outcomes included apolipoprotein B, blood pressure (BP), height and weight, waist circumference, diabetes support and depressive symptoms. RESULTS: After the 3-month intervention, linear mixed-effects modelling demonstrated A1C decreased significantly from 8.2% (66 mmol/mol) to 7.8% (62 mmol/mol) (p<0.0001), as did body mass index (from 30.02 to 29.7 kg/m2; p=0.0005) and diastolic BP (from 75.86 to 70.78 mmHg; p<0.0001). These reductions persisted after adjusting for the fixed-effects of age, sex, intensification of diabetes and BP medication, as well as random effects for subject and location. CONCLUSIONS: Participation in a professional plus peer-led intervention tailored by South Asian adults with T2D is associated with improved glycemic control and other favourable health outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The sociodemographic and personality profiles of effective peer leaders in the context of diabetes self-management interventions are poorly understood. In this study, we explored the demographic and personality characteristics of peer leaders participating in a 12-month, telephone-based type 2 diabetes self-management intervention. METHODS: We used a sequential explanatory mixed-methods research design and recruited 52 peer leaders. Thirty-seven peer leaders had at least 1 participant complete both the baseline and the 12-month assessments. Eligible peer leader candidates were English-speaking adults (≥21 years of age) with diabetes and a self-reported glycated hemoglobin (A1C) level of ≤8% who had access to a phone and transportation and were willing to attend a 30-hour training program. Peer leaders completed a self-report survey assessing sociodemographic characteristics and a Mini-International Personality Item Pool scale measuring the "Big 5" personality traits. After the intervention, 17 peer leaders participated in semistructured interviews on their program experience. We categorized peer leaders as effective if their participants sustained or improved their A1C and diabetes distress (DD) scores from baseline to 12 months, and as ineffective if their participants worsened on any of these parameters. RESULTS: Our cohort scored highest on agreeableness and lowest on neuroticism. Twenty peer leaders were considered effective, most of whom were male, married, employed and educated. They also had significantly lower mean DD levels (p=0.02) and a higher extroversion score (p=0.03) at baseline. CONCLUSIONS: Extroversion emerged as the best personality predictor of peer leader effectiveness. These results, in combination with interview responses, were used to produce a peer leader selection model.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Existing peer support literature in diabetes has focussed predominantly on the health impact it has on the beneficiaries rather than the benefactors. In this mixed-methods study, we examined the effect of delivering peer support (vs receiving) on glycated hemoglobin (A1C) and diabetes distress (DD) at 3 and 12 months as part of a larger diabetes self-management support randomized controlled trial. Maintenance or improvement of outcomes was expected. We also assessed peer leaders' experiences with the program. METHODS: We utilized a sequential explanatory mixed-methods research design that included 58 adults with diabetes (i.e. peer leaders) who completed a 30-hour training program. Peer leaders (n=52) were matched with participants (adults with type 2 diabetes) and invited to undergo assessments at baseline, 3 months and 12 months. Primary clinical and psychosocial outcomes included A1C and DD, respectively. Secondary outcomes were cardiovascular risk factors and depressive symptoms. After the intervention, 17 peer leaders participated in semistructured interviews about their experience. RESULTS: Peer leaders had a mean age of 57.5±11 years and a long history of diabetes (13.9±11 years); over half were male (53.8%) and married/partnered (55.8%). At baseline, peer leaders were at target for A1C (7.0±0.9% [53±10 mmol/mol]) and reported a low level of DD (1.67±0.52). Of the 43 (82.7%) peer leaders who completed the 12-month study, A1C and DD remained stable over 12 months. Secondary outcomes also remained within the normal range from the start to the end of the intervention. CONCLUSION: Delivering peer support may help maintain glycemic control and DD over the long term.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Midwifery care meets the triple aims of health system improvement, i.e. good health outcomes, high client satisfaction, and low per capita costs. Scaling up access to midwifery care is a global priority yet the growth and sustainability of the profession is threatened by high levels of burnout and attrition. This scoping review provides a comprehensive review of the existing literature on burnout in midwifery, with a focus on prevalence, associated factors and potential solutions. METHODS: Four electronic databases were searched to locate relevant literature up to July 2019. A total of 1034 articles were identified and reduced to 27 articles that met inclusion criteria. We summarize sample sizes, settings, study designs, burnout measures, prevalence of burnout, associated factors and potential solutions, and recommendations. RESULTS: Prevalence of burnout was highest among Australian, Western Canadian and Senegalese midwives and lowest among Dutch and Norwegian midwives. Midwives working in caseload/continuity models reported significantly lower burnout compared to midwives working in other models. We identified 26 organizational and personal factors that were significantly associated with burnout, such as high workload, exposure to traumatic events, and fewer years in practices. Organizational support to improve work-life balance and emotional well-being, as well as more continuing education to raise awareness about burnout and how to cope with it, emerged as common strategies to prevent and address burnout. CONCLUSIONS: Burnout is a serious and complex occupational phenomenon. More qualitative research is needed in this area, to better understand the lived experience of burnout.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This review seeks to identify (a) the various components and process outcomes of type 2 diabetes peer support (PS) interventions and (b) the measures implemented to monitor intervention fidelity and evaluate outcomes in these studies. METHODS: The MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE (Excerpta Medica Database), CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials), CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), and PsycINFO databases were searched from inception to May 2019. Two reviewers independently screened and extracted data from eligible articles via the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist (why, what, who provided, how, where, when and how much, tailoring, modifications, and how well). RESULTS: Twenty-three trials were included. The total number of participants was 7178. Most interventions were in primary care. Although face-to-face was the most common modality of contact, rates of contact were highest for telephone. Potential peer leaders (PLs) were identified primarily through recommendations from health professionals, based on their communication skills, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and coaching interest. PLs were mostly female, university educated, and had a long history of diabetes (≥ 10 years). PL training varied significantly in length and content; the two most frequent topics were communication skills and diabetes knowledge. Although several studies implemented methods to evaluate "intervention fidelity," only few rigorously assessed the two key components of fidelity, "adherence" and "competence," through audio- and video-taping or direct observations. CONCLUSIONS: The impact of PS on participants' health outcomes is well investigated; however, the implementation and evaluation strategies vary significantly across these studies. In the present review, we define the various components of PS interventions and propose suggestions for enhancing the implementation and evaluation of future PS models.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: South Asians are disproportionately affected by diabetes compared to some other ethnic groups in Canada. Although depression and diabetes distress are psychological issues well studied in the general population of those with diabetes, they have not been investigated in South Asian Canadians with type 2 diabetes. We sought to identify the rates of depression and diabetes distress in South Asian adults with type 2 diabetes and to explore the relationship among glycemic control, depression and diabetes distress. METHODS: We recruited 41 South Asian adults with type 2 diabetes for this study. Glycated hemoglobin (A1C) levels were collected via venous puncture. We utilized the Diabetes Distress Scale to assess total diabetes distress and its subscales (emotional distress, interpersonal distress, regimen-related distress and physician distress) and the Personal Health Questionnaire-9 to assess depressive symptoms. RESULTS: The rate of depression was 15%, and the rate of total diabetes distress was 52.5%. Although neither measure was found to be correlated with A1C levels, depression had a moderate positive correlation with total diabetes distress (r=0.696; p<0.001); subscales of regimen distress and emotional burden emerged as the strongest correlates. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to report that diabetes distress is a serious concern for South Asian Canadians with type 2 diabetes. Given that depression and diabetes distress are linked, studies recruiting a larger and more diverse sample of South Asian Canadians should be conducted to better understand the psychological issues that may impact diabetes self-management in this community.
