Using normalisation process theory to understand implementation of effective early-onset type 2 diabetes treatment and care within England: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite increasing prevalence, early-onset type 2 diabetes (EOT2D) has received little clinical and qualitative research attention within England. This qualitative study aimed to explore and understand the unmet needs of people living with early-onset type 2 diabetes (PEOT2D) and their diabetes care within England.

Methods

Using semi-structured interviews, data was collected, transcribed and analysed from 25 PEOT2D and 25 healthcare professionals (HCPs). Taking an abductive approach, data for both cohorts were analysed and interpreted according to four constructs of Normalisation Process Theory (NPT): coherence (sense-making), cognitive participation (engagement), collective action (enactment) and reflexive monitoring (formal and informal appraisal).
