<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Diabetes education is the key to successful diabetes management. There is a need for an education module for type 1 diabetes (T1D) that is culture-specific and suited to resource constraints.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A mixed-methods study will be conducted, in three phases, to develop and evaluate a culturally tailored diabetes education module for Indian children with T1D and their families. During the first phase, a qualitative study among health professionals and families of children with T1D for need assessment will be conducted. During the second phase, based on the themes from the last phase, an educational module will be developed. The third phase will involve an evaluation of the content, feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed module. The content evaluation will be done using the standardized 'suitability assessment of materials' checklist. For feasibility, a mixed-method approach will be used with iterative cycles of satisfaction scale, semi-structured interview and feasibility and observation checklist. The module will be revised after each cycle till no new changes are suggested. The effectiveness will be assessed by a quasi-experimental controlled trial assessing glycemic control, health-related quality of life, clinically important events and self-management practices in T1D children at baseline and three and six months.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study aims at development and validation of a novel culturally tailored diabetes education module for children with T1D, suited to their resource constraints. A module designed with the inputs from all stakeholders, and evaluated using iterative cycles, has the potential to suit the dynamic nature of diabetes management in children.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Trial registration:</strong> Trial registration number is CTRI/2021/04/032739.</p>

Approach Working

Background Healthcare professionals in paediatric care face great demands to provide high-quality acute care and support for young people with long-term illnesses, such as type 1 diabetes. This study aims to describe healthcare professionals' experiences of supporting young people with type 1 diabetes in order to improve care. Methods A qualitative research design was used to conduct individual interviews with seven healthcare professionals. The interview transcripts were subjected to inductive qualitative thematic content analysis. Results Four themes were identified: strengthening young people's motivation, sharing knowledge for better support, the imbalance between resources and needs and the transition of responsibility to the young person and their family. Conclusions Healthcare professionals described motivating young people to improve their metabolic control by using a person-centred approach. Working in a team strengthened cross-professional perspectives, competence and understanding of young people's support needs and developed diabetes care. The transition of responsibility from healthcare to families and young people was important in improving glycemic control. The increased imbalance in resources and support needs in diabetes care must be addressed at a societal level and adapted according to today's needs.
