Activity Description

The Critical Psychosocial Issues in Diabetes web-based program is a series of video modules designed to examine psychosocial issues in diabetes, provide a brief review of the research literature, clarify how and why the problems manifest themselves among patients with diabetes, and put forward practical solutions for the busy healthcare professional.

This module is a 1.25-hour video presentation examining psychosocial issues in diabetes, featuring Bill Polonsky and Susan Guzman. This module focuses on key contributors to patient disengagement, and includes the following topics:

• Motivation and Diabetes: A New Approach to an Old Problem
• How Big of a Deal is Depression in Diabetes?
• Understanding and Assessing Diabetes Distress
• Addressing Patients’ Sense of Fatalism and Hopelessness
• The Problem of Perceived Treatment Inefficacy

Target Audience
This module is designed for health care professionals that treat patients with diabetes including endocrinologists, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, registered dieticians, pharmacists, certified diabetes educators, and other healthcare providers wishing to work more effectively with their patients to promote better medication adherence and more successful self-management

Method of Participation
This module is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes in length, and is broken down into topic for ease of viewing. Modules are delivered via a streaming platform in the optimal format for your viewing device. This program is available free of charge. Closed captions are provided, and are accessible by clicking the "CC" button at the bottom right of the video page.

Educational Objectives

Following completion of this educational activity, learners should be able to:

• Describe the complex role of motivation in diabetes self-care
• Describe commonly held problematic attitudes and beliefs about diabetes and how they can impact patient engagement
• Demonstrate the major strategies for addressing depression and diabetes-related emotional distress

Statement of Need
The American Diabetes Association published its first Psychosocial Position Statement in December, 2016, recognizing the important role of emotional, social and behavioral influences on those living with diabetes. To achieve satisfactory medical outcomes, self-care adherence to key diabetes tasks and psychological well-being, the Position Statement emphasized how critical it is that these complex psychosocial factors be identified and addressed. The goal is to adopt a person-centered care model, which necessitates that patient-provider communications and interactions, problem identification, psychosocial screening and intervention take into account the context of the person with diabetes.

In particular, poor adherence to diabetes self-care recommendations is recognized as a major contributor to poor health outcomes, but healthcare professionals (HCPs) are often unsure how best to address this issue. The new Position Statement is one step forward, but how best to enact these broad recommendations in a busy clinical practice? Many HCPs express a strong interest in receiving training in this area, but there is little, if any, opportunity to do so. The Critical Psychosocial Issues in Diabetes web modules have been developed to address this need and provide tools for HCPs to utilize in practice.
