“…As found in other studies, the women in this study asserted that the sessions should be short, informative, activity based, and rewarding (Hurt et al, 2015; Liburd et al, 2007; Liburd et al, 2004). Programs should be free, and offer complementary services and resources to help better prevent and/or manage T2DM (Cooney et al, 2007).…”

The purpose of this study was to learn from 29 Black women how to develop effective Type 2 diabetes programming. Three focus groups were held in Des Moines, Iowa, during fall 2012. Results highlighted themes related to diabetes knowledge, diabetes management and prevention, physical activity, diet, and diabetes management programming. Opinions were shared as to whether family members should be included in programs for supporting those diagnosed with diabetes. These results provided guidance and ideas to scholars and health care professionals aiming to improve effectiveness of diabetes programs for Black women and families.

“…Research on Blacks with T2D found gender disparities in participation in diabetes self-management interventions, with men participating at significantly lower rates than women [11,18]. The limited studies to date suggest that Black men with T2D prefer peer-led T2D programs [17,19]. Use of lay interventionists to promote health behavior change in men is also consistent with approaches used with other populations managing chronic illness such as Black men with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) [20].…”

Older African American Men’s Perspectives on Factors That Influence Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management and Peer-Led Interventions

et al. 2018

Older African American men are at increased risk of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) but demonstrate high rates of poor illness management. They also participate in interventions targeting illness management at extremely low rates and are at high risk for dropout from clinical trials. One modifiable factor that has been identified in the literature that contributes to these disparities is health beliefs particular to men. Yet, despite the fact that illness management interventions have been developed to meet the needs of African Americans, none have followed recommendations to use gender-sensitive programming to meet the needs of men. The primary aim of this study was to advance our understanding of the intersection of age, race/ethnicity and gender on T2D self-management among older African American men, and to explore their preferences for a peer-led T2D self-management intervention. Two focus groups were conducted with older African American men ( n = 12) over a 6-month period. Sessions lasted 90 min, were audiotaped, and analyzed using thematic content analysis techniques. The most prominent themes included: (a) the influence of gendered values and beliefs on health behavior; (b) quantity and quality of patient-provider communication; (c) social and structural barriers to T2D self-management; and (d) preferences for peer-led T2D self-management interventions. Results suggest that these themes may be particularly salient for T2D self-management in older African American men, and that this population may be receptive to a peer-led T2D self-management intervention.

“…Future research must continue to explore such complexities related to experience with influencing T2DM- related behaviors and beliefs. Research suggests that T2DM programming may benefit from both cultural sensitivity and gender tailoring (Hurt, Seawell, & O’Connor, 2015; Jack, Toston, Jack, & Sims, 2010), although further exploration is needed to better understand the relative risks associated with open or closed family relationships related to T2DM knowledge and behaviors over time. To understand the role that family plays in passing on a T2DM-related legacy, it will also be important for future studies to determine which family members or ages may be most influential.…”

African Americans are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and this risk may be influenced by familial experiences and cultural norms throughout the life course. This led us to conduct this study of 20 African American families with strong histories of T2DM to explore familial complexities that prevent or help manage diabetic symptoms. Experiences were analyzed inductively through individual family profiles created using content-analytic summaries. When profiles were further analyzed for emerging and theoretically informed data patterns, two themes emerged: (a) family interactions characterized by T2DM-related actions and communication patterns, and (b) intergenerational patterns of openness characterized by variations in approach within generational cohort and parental gender. Through inquiries related to intergenerational experiences with T2DM, nursing and health care professionals may be better able to tailor and promote success for prevention and management of behaviors among high-risk African Americans.
