This could be particularly important in diabetes as previous studies with face-to-face structured patient education programmes reduced the risk of diabetes-related complications four-fold. Computer based self-management interventions have the potential to provide similar benefits at lower costs in a tailored, ... Medicine 2.0'13 (London, UK)Evaluating the Cognitive and Emotional Impact of a Risk Calculator and Support Package for People with Type 2 Diabetes. Background: Research on cardiovascular risk calculators suggests that, despite their widespread use, they have little impact on understanding of risk, motivation, or health behaviours. Possible reasons for this finding include a simple lack of understanding on the part of users, or psychological defensive mechanisms protecting the user from challenging information. We therefore undertook a qualitative study exploring users’ cognitive and emotional reactions to a newly developed cardiovasc... A Qualitative Study of Patient and Professional Preferences for Computer-Based Diabetes Self-Management Interventions Background Diabetes is one of the commonest chronic medical conditions in the UK, affecting approximately 1.9 million adults. Structured patient-education programmes can reduce the risk of developing diabetes related complications fourfold. In 2007 only 11% of people with Type 2 diabetes reported that they had been offered structured education. One way of improving access to education and self-management training is through internet-based interventions. Around 90% of people with diabetes ha... A Cochrane Systematic Review of Computer-Based Self-Management Interventions for Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Background Structured patient education programmes can reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications four-fold. However, people appear to have difficulties attending face-to-face education sessions as over 40% of people with diabetes in the USA have never received formal diabetes education. Computer-based self-management programmes have the potential to meet this need by providing cheaper interventions that could be more conveniently accessed by patients. Internet-based self-managemen... How to Combine Theory and Data to Develop an Online Self-Management Programme (SMP) for Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Background: Synthesising multiple theoretical perspectives and data sources may be necessary to develop effective and widely implemented behaviour change interventions, but it is unclear how best to do this. Objectives: To describe an interdisciplinary protocol for combining theory and data to develop an online self-management programme for adults with Type2 Diabetes. Methods: Guided by Corbin and Strauss’ work on living with chronic illness we combined data from systematic reviews, qual... Trusting Online Health Information: A Literature Review of Website Features That Influence Trust Background The internet is a rapidly growing source of health information and there is an increasing trend for people to seek health information online. With many websites providing health information it is important to understand how people evaluate trust in these sites. Objectives This review aims to explore the antecedents of trust in health information websites, and presents findings of the features that lead people to evaluate the associated information as trustworthy.
