Assessing Diabetes Dietary Goals and Self-Management Based on In-Depth Interviews With Latino and Caucasian Clients With Type 2 DiabetesPacific Northwest University of Health Sciences
Washington State University
Washington State University Latino (n = 10) and Caucasian (n = 8) clients with type 2 diabetes receiving care at a community health clinic participated in individual in-depth interviews assessing diabetes dietary self-management goal behaviors. Themes from interviews were identified using content analysis, which revealed current and future goals, influencing factors, and motivators and barriers to dietary modification for diabetes management. Implications for practice include simplifying goal setting to those goals with the greatest potential clinical impact or the greatest significance to the patient, in a socially supportive environment. Results contribute to future survey development and understanding how to optimize diabetes education for these populations.
