Abstract
Objective: Suboptimal social determinants of health impede type 2 diabetes self-management. They are usually considered at population and community levels, not individually. The study objective was to draw on perspectives of people who have type 2 diabetes to identify and explore the impact of social determinants on self-management and ways to incorporate them into individual care.
Methods: Purposively selected participants chose to partake in focus groups or interviews. Data were analysed and themes identified through deductive and inductive thematic analysis.
Results: Social issues hinder type 2 diabetes self-management. Additionally, an individual’s feelings and poor mental health, competing priorities and understanding about diabetes are important considerations. Support was provided via health professionals, community supports, financial support, personal support and informal self-management support.
Conclusions: Social determinants of health could be formally incorporated into individual care for people with type 2 diabetes if a socio-ecological view of health is taken as it considers the broader social and environmental circumstances in peoples lives.
Implications for public health: Care for people with type 2 diabetes could be transformed if social determinants of health are formally assessed and responded to at an individual level. A socio-ecological view of health in individual care and clinical settings would enable social determinants of health to be formally incorporated into type 2 diabetes care.
