Theory-based behaviour modification of Asian adults with type-2 diabetes mellitus after participating in a novel telemonitoring system: a qualitative research study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Telemonitoring (TM) remotely monitors individuals' health. Awareness of personal clinical data has resulted in improved glycaemic control in adults with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, its effects on their health-seeking behaviour remain unclear. This study aims to explore and understand the effects of a multicomponent TM system on self-efficacy in adults with T2DM.

Design

A qualitative study using semistructured interviews.

Setting

A public primary care clinic which is located at an estate in north-eastern Singapore with a population of about 300 000 multiethnic Asian residents.

Participants

21 participants who completed 6 months of TM intervention which included immediate feedback on glucose and blood pressure readings, educational videos
