Diabetes self-management: a qualitative study of education needs, practices and caregiver support in the Keta Municipality of Ghana

The study suggests that individualised SME and caregiver support may enhance self-management practices and outcomes. This underscores the significance of considering patient-specific factors and support systems when designing effective diabetes management strategies. The provision of comprehensive SME, including group and individual sessions, along with the utilisation of visual aids, can contribute to improved self-management outcomes.

Abstract

The study suggests that individualised SME and caregiver support may enhance self-management practices and outcomes. This underscores the significance of considering patient-specific factors and support systems when designing effective diabetes management strategies. The provision of comprehensive SME, including group and individual sessions, along with the utilisation of visual aids, can contribute to improved self-management outcomes.
