{"title":"Patient-Perceived Challenges to Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Qualitative Exploratory Study.","authors":"Tigestu Alemu Desse, Kevin Mc Namara, Elizabeth Manias","doi":"10.1177/26350106241279809","DOIUrl":"10.1177/26350106241279809","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>The purpose of the study was to explore patient-reported challenges influencing type 2 diabetes self-management in a diabetes center in Ethiopia.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Exploratory qualitative interviews were conducted with purposively sampled patients with type 2 diabetes. Thematic data analysis was performed to identify challenges to diabetes self-management, and the themes were interpreted using Leininger's sunrise model.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Thirty patients with type 2 diabetes participated. Four themes were identified regarding challenges to type 2 diabetes self-management: (1) cultural values and beliefs, (2) kinship and social factors, (3) educational factors, and (4) economic conditions. Sociocultural factors and low income intersected to significantly impede effective diabetes self-management. Sociocultural contexts strongly influenced patient beliefs and interpretations related to diabetes self-care. Misconceptions and limited awareness of diabetes, reliance on herbal remedies, ritual fasting, and prioritization of family needs over individual needs also involved challenges for diabetes self-care. Poverty influenced access to diabetes care. Many patients faced difficulties in adhering to healthy diets for diabetes due to limited income and food costs, and some patients reduced medication doses, including insulin, to manage costs effectively.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The study highlighted the pressing need for comprehensive and culturally appropriate patient education and empowerment interventions involving various stakeholders to enhance knowledge, understanding, and self-efficacy in diabetes self-management. Urgent attention is needed to ensure patients have access to affordable and sustainable diabetes medications and healthy diets for diabetes through financial incentives. These findings can be considered in designing tailored strategies for improving self-management practice in diabetes care in Ethiopia.</p>","PeriodicalId":75187,"journal":{"name":"The science of diabetes self-management and care","volume":" ","pages":"456-468"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11600660/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142303022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
