Attendance at diabetes clinic is associated with improved medical outcome, however, significant numbers of people with type 1 diabetes choose not to attend. In order to understand the reasons underlying this decision, qualitative interviews were carried out with 12 long-term non-attenders. Three distinct groups emerged differing in terms of their cognitive and emotional responses to diabetes and their coping strategies: (1) the ‘High fear’ group; and (2) the ‘Patient as expert’ group; and (3) the ‘Low motivation’ group. These differences should be recognized and suitable approaches developed to ensure that all people with diabetes are able to accept appropriate specialist support. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
