Transitioning care in youth-onset type 1 and type 2 diabetes: a scoping review protocol using the socio-ecological model framework

Abstract

IntroductionThe transition from paediatric to adult diabetes care in youth-onset diabetes (type 1 diabetes mellitus, Y-T1DM and type 2 diabetes mellitus, Y-T2DM) is associated with worsening glycaemic control, missed clinical visits, decreased medication adherence and the emergence of cardiometabolic complications. The socio-ecological challenges that influence transitioning to adult diabetes care may be distinct between Y-T1DM and Y-T2DM. The goal of this scoping review is to map the state of the literature on transitioning care in Y-T2DM compared with Y-T1DM and to identify the main sources and types of evidence available. The objectives are : (1) to identify the factors within the socio-ecological framework (individual, relationship, community, societal) associated with transitioning to adult care in Y-T2DM compared with Y- T1DM, and (2) to identify knowledge gaps related to transitioning to adult care.MethodsThe scoping review protocol and reporting will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for scoping reviews guidelines. A systematic search of scientific databases (PubMed, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health, Scopus and APA PsycNet will be undertaken for articles between 1 January 1990 and 30 September 2022. Study designs will include peer-reviewed experimental and quasi-experimental published studies without language or country-specific restrictions. We will exclude articles on other diabetes subtypes and will exclude non-peer reviewed articles such as opinion papers, anecdotal reports or supplementary commentaries.AnalysisReferences will be collated, sorted and extracted using Covidence. Factors associated with transition from paediatric to adult diabetes care in Y-T1DM and Y-T2DM will be identified using the socio-ecological framework and results will be presented in narrative format, tables, and summary graphs.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval will not be applicable for this review.Trial registration numberhttps://osf.io/k2pwc.

Impact of Health Education Based on IMCHB Model on School-age Children with Type 1 Diabetes

“…At present, the application of IMCHB model and diabetes health management at home and abroad are mostly applied to the elderly, adults and young patients with perfect self-management ability and cognitive ability. There is not much research on school-age children whose self-management and cognitive abilities are not yet perfect and require close cooperation from parents to achieve [22]. In view of the uniqueness of school-age children with type 1 diabetes, IMCHB health management services are provided for school-age children with type 1 diabetes to achieve healthy outcomes, with daily life style management as the entry point [23].…”
