Characteristics of behavior change techniques in theory-based self-management education and support interventions for adults with type 2 diabetes using digital technology: A scoping review
To establish a comprehensive knowledge base for developing theory-driven, person-centered digital diabetes self-management education and support (DSME/S) programs.
Key Findings:
Digital DSME/S interventions can enhance diabetes knowledge, improve glycemic control, and promote quality of life.
Patient engagement in DSME/S programs remains suboptimal despite established benefits.
Younger individuals with early-onset T2D may prefer digital modalities, while older adults may favor hybrid programs.
Interpretation:
The review highlights the need for person-centered digital DSME/S programs that are tailored to the behavioral and psychosocial characteristics of different populations.
Limitations:
Few studies provide in-depth guidance on designing digital DSME/S interventions.
The complexity of human health behaviors requires consideration of emotional responses and context-driven decision-making.
Conclusion:
The review aims to identify gaps and opportunities for theory-informed behavioral strategies in digital DSME/S interventions.
