“…The lack of such abilities would be the main barrier to their effectiveness (41). Moreover, educators need to develop the skills required to connect with patients suffering from mental or physical disabilities (38,42,43). Further, they need to reckon whether the educated patient can comprehend the educational material, whether their beliefs contradict the material, or whether they have the ability or determination to make a change.…”

Context: Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) need to commit to permanent discipline to minimize the risks of disease. On the other hand, the approach to disease self-management has shifted from a solely biological and doctor-patient-oriented approach to a more comprehensive model with a cooperative approach that takes advantage of social factors such as the community and family. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively extract social factors affecting consumer discipline from scientific sources. Evidence Acquisition: This narrative review identified social factors T2D self-management. Relevant studies were retrieved from reputable databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, Iran Doc, Emerald, and ScienceDirect through a web search (with no temporal limitations). Out of the 18,082 retrieved articles, 68 studies resonating with research goals were selected and underwent qualitative analysis. Results: Four categories of social factors were identified, including family, diabetes educators, peers, and diabetes online communities. Family member behaviors were classified into three groups: Diabetes self-management facilitators, obstacles, and neutral behaviors. Studies on diabetes educators accentuated their essential capabilities. Also, two face-to-face peer support models were identified. Ultimately, diabetes online communities were investigated as an emerging context capable of identifying and covering the needs of diabetic patients and their families. Conclusions: Social factors, including family, educators, peers, and online communities, play a crucial role in T2D self-management. By recognizing these factors, healthcare professionals can design interventions that ultimately result in better outcomes for patients with T2D.

“…The advantages of implementing integrated competency frameworks within and even across organisations have been demonstrated in several different industries and countries. A framework developed for diabetes nurses, for example, outlines how it can provide a career structure, assist in business planning and allocation of resources, allow benchmarking of practice across different sites and even help to standardise practice across different countries (Hill, 2011). Beyond the requirements of a particular role, a competency framework is also an effective way of identifying and encouraging behaviours and capabilities within the organisation that can enhance competitive advantage but are not specifically tied to a particular job role, such as with corporate entrepreneurship (Hayton and Kelley, 2006).…”

Can competencies at selection predict performance and development needs? Purpose This study explores the utility of an organisation-wide competency framework, linking competency ratings at selection to later development needs and job performance. Design Candidates' scores at a management selection event were compared to their performance appraisal scores on the same competencies six to 12 months later (N=58). Scores on numeracy and profit-and-loss tests were also collected at the selection event and related to subsequent performance (N= 207) and development needs. Findings Competency ratings at performance appraisal were significantly lower than at selection interview. Correlations between ratings at interview and at performance appraisal were generally weak, though one (Understanding the Business) showed significant relationships with 5 of the 7 performance appraisal competencies. In addition, competency ratings were related to employee turnover and managerial development needs. Research limitations / implications Although competencies were clearly defined, inter-rater variations may have occurred which obscure the relationships. However, it is of interest that a single competency at selection (Understanding the Business) seems to have the greatest effect on performance, employment outcome and development needs. Practical implications A competency framework that is embedded in both selection and performance ratings can provide the organisation with a clearer understanding of what determines managerial success, as well as informing better selection decisions. This study also raises the issue that performance ratings may be influenced more by a manager's ability to understand the business than by any other competencies. Originality / value The use of a longitudinal design provides unique evidence of the relationship between competency ratings at selection and later performance, employment outcome and development needs.

Does patient and public involvement influence the development of competency frameworks for the health professions? A systematic review

et al. 2022

Competency frameworks typically describe the perceived knowledge, skills, attitudes and other characteristics required for a health professional to practice safely and effectively. Patient and public involvement in the development of competency frameworks is uncommon despite delivery of person-centered care being a defining feature of a competent health professional. This systematic review aimed to determine how patients and the public are involved in the development of competency frameworks for health professions, and whether their involvement influenced the outcome of the competency frameworks. Studies were identified from six electronic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Web of Science and ERIC). The database search yielded a total of 8,222 citations, and 43 articles were included for data extraction. Most studies were from the United Kingdom (27%) and developed through multidisciplinary collaborations involving two or more professions (40%). There was a large variation in the number of patients and members of the public recruited (range 1–1,398); recruitment sources included patients and carers with the clinical condition of interest (30%) or established consumer representative groups (22%). Common stages for involving patients and the public were in generation of competency statements (57%) or reviewing the draft competency framework (57%). Only ten studies (27%) took a collaborative approach to the engagement of patients and public in competency framework development. The main ways in which involvement influenced the competency framework were validation of health professional-derived competency statements, provision of desirable behaviors and attitudes and generation of additional competency statements. Overall, there was a lack of reporting regarding the details and outcome of patient and public involvement. Further research is required to optimize approaches to patient and public involvement in competency framework development including guidance regarding who, how, when and for what purposes they should be engaged and the requirements for reporting.Systematic review registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier: CRD42020203117.
