Abstract

Optimal diabetes self‐management requires the balancing of physical, behavioural and psychological health. Although ownership lies with the person living with diabetes, the interaction and relationship between the individual and their health care professionals play a key role in achieving that outcome. This paper presents key summaries generated from the 6th International Diabetes Self‐Management Alliance conference workshop, exploring barriers to emotional support in routine diabetes care. In particular, we explored barriers around: (a) not having sufficient time during consultations to routinely address emotional well‐being; (b) the lack of confidence expressed by health care professionals in their ability to have emotional conversations with their patients; (c) training, bringing a focus to a more person‐centred approach for existing service models; and (d) the fear of opening Pandora's Box and discovering complex or emotionally overwhelming topics. The aim of this practice point paper is to provide a platform for researchers and policymakers to further explore these barriers and generate ideas to inform future research aimed at improving the landscape of emotional support in diabetes care.

糖尿病自我管理联盟研讨会感想：在糖尿病日常护理中提供更好的情感支持

最佳的糖尿病自我管理需要在身体、行为和心理健康之间取得平衡。虽然糖尿病患者拥有自主权，但个人与其医疗保健专业人员之间的互动和关系在实现这一结果的过程中发挥着关键作用。本文介绍了第六届国际糖尿病自我管理联盟会议研讨会的主要总结，探讨了常规糖尿病护理中情感支持的障碍。我们特别探讨了以下方面的障碍：(a) 在咨询过程中没有足够的时间例行处理情绪健康问题；(b) 医护人员对与患者进行情绪对话的能力缺乏信心；(c) 培训，将重点放在现有服务模式中更加以人为本的方法上；(d) 害怕打开潘多拉魔盒，发现复杂或情绪上难以承受的话题。本实践要点文件旨在为研究人员和政策制定者提供一个平台，以进一步探讨这些障碍，并为今后旨在改善糖尿病护理中情感支持状况的研究提供参考意见。版权所有 © 2023 约翰威利父子公司。
