“…On July 1, 2016, CBHEC implemented a computerized touch-screen-based diabetes education program, called diabetes education kiosk (Diosk), developed by faculty at the Texas A&M University School of Public Health as part of their diabetes prevention and management efforts. 25,26 The education tool consists of 12 self-management modules with video recording and illustrative presentations for underserved populations (Table 1). The modules are available in both English and Spanish and can be accessed from any smartphone, tablet PC, laptop, or computer at a webpage.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to describe a novel computerized diabetes education tool and explore factors influencing self-selection and use among primarily Hispanic patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in south Texas. Methods Study participants included 953 adult patients with type 2 diabetes enrolled in a diabetes education program between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017. Participants were asked to choose either a new technology-based diabetes education tool with a touch-screen device or a traditional face-to-face education method. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to identify factors associated with adopting the computerized diabetes education tool among the patients. Results When comparing technology-based tool adopters and nonadopters, several demographic and health-related factors differentiated technology use in bivariate analyses. The multivariate logistic regression model showed that Hispanic patients were less likely to choose a technology-based tool. Patients who perceived their health status as excellent/good were more likely to adopt the technologic education method than those with fair/poor perceived health status. A1C level was negatively associated with self-selection of technology. Conclusions Specific demographic and health-related characteristics are significant contributing factors to patients’ adoption of a technology-based diabetes education tool. Health care providers can utilize these findings to target and refer specific patients to a computerized diabetes education tool for more effective diabetes care and to optimize technology adoption success.

“…A majority of studies focusing on T2DM self-management among Latinx immigrants have recruited participants from health care centers and other clinical sites (Ory, Bolin, & López-Arenas, 2014;Rosas et al, 2018;Wieland et al, 2017) or diabetes education programs (Concha, Mayer, Mezuk, & Avula, 2016;Spencer et al, 2018). By recruiting participants who are engaged in and regularly receiving health care services, the experiences and perspectives of those situated outside these systems remain largely unexamined (Hennink, Kaiser, Sekar, Griswold, & Ali, 2017;Klinger et al, 2015;Vaccaro et al, 2012).…”

Introduction: Immigrant populations experience higher type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) prevalence rates and worse health outcomes secondary to T2DM than native-born populations. But as the largest immigrant population in the United States, the experience of T2DM diagnosis and self-management among Spanish-speaking, limited English-language proficient Latinx immigrants remains largely unexamined. This study used semistructured interviews to explore these phenomena among a cohort of 30 recent Latinx immigrants. Method: All aspects of data collection were conducted in Spanish. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected. Data analysis included descriptive statistical procedures. Qualitative data analysis was conducted using a grounded theory approach. Results: Patterns in the data analysis of 30 interviews identified accepting T2DM as a common transitional process that required significant changes in individuals’ self-perspective and ways of being. Accepting T2DM was identified by the participants as a precursor to treatment initiation. And while for most participants this transition period was brief, for some it took months to years. Distinct transitional stages were identified, categorized, and considered within the context of several theoretical orientations and were observed to align with those in transformative learning. Conclusion: Understanding differing responses and processing of a T2DM diagnosis could be leveraged to better support patients’ acceptance and transition into treatment.
