Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore facilitators and barriers to self-management behaviors in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to inform the development of an mHealth platform.

Methods: Eight adolescents with T1D, 9 parents, and 13 health care providers participated in separate focus groups that explored teen self-management behaviors.

Results: Adolescents and their parents have distinct preferences for handling diabetes management and use of mHealth technologies. Health care providers support the use of new technologies yet acknowledge concern meeting the potential increased volume of communication requests from teens and families.

Conclusion: Stakeholders agreed that an ideal mHealth platform would facilitate open communication between teens and their care network and easily integrate with other diabetes technologies. Future directions include incorporating additional feedback from stakeholders to build and modify the mHealth platform. The use of mHealth platforms could be integrated into clinical practice to optimize self-management and support communication between educators, providers, and families in between clinic visits.

为1型糖尿病青少年建立移动健康平台:青少年、父母和医疗服务提供者的焦点小组。

目的:本研究的目的是探讨青少年1型糖尿病(T1D)自我管理行为的促进因素和障碍，为移动健康平台的开发提供信息。方法:8名T1D青少年、9名家长和13名卫生保健提供者分别参与了探讨青少年自我管理行为的焦点小组。结果:青少年及其父母在处理糖尿病管理和使用移动健康技术方面有不同的偏好。卫生保健提供者支持使用新技术，但也承认对满足青少年和家庭可能增加的通信需求感到担忧。结论:利益相关者一致认为，理想的移动健康平台将促进青少年和他们的护理网络之间的开放沟通，并容易与其他糖尿病技术集成。未来的发展方向包括整合来自利益相关者的更多反馈，以构建和修改移动健康平台。可以将移动医疗平台的使用整合到临床实践中，以优化自我管理，并支持教育者、提供者和家庭在诊所访问之间的沟通。
