Psychosocial interventions for diabetes distress in culturally diverse populations: a systematic scoping review
This review recommends the integration of psychosocial interventions into healthcare plans and highlights several gaps in the evidence base, including limited cultural adaptations beyond linguistic modifications, and a limited focus on South Asian and Middle Eastern populations. Future research should consider multi-site RCTs, longitudinal designs and refinement of intervention designs to improve accessibility, cultural relevance, and sustainability over time.
