Data_Sheet_2_An innovative state-of-the-art health storytelling technique for better management of type 2 diabetes.PDF

BackgroundType 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic lifelong disease that requires long-term prevention and management strategies in a community setting. A health story is a novel technique that may be used as an effective tool for better prevention and management of T2D. ObjectiveThe main objective of this study is to develop a story to be used as a social health technique based on contemporary scientific knowledge that may be used at a community level for better communication and management of T2D. MethodsA community–academic partnership was formed with a not-for-profit Nutrition Education, Awareness, and Training (NEAT) organization in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. We agreed to develop a story that may be used as a health and nutrition education communication tool for better management of patients with T2D. The following phases were followed during the story creation process: (1) the theory phase, (2) the modeling phase, and (3) the evaluation phase. Raters evaluated the story to determine its literary and scientific quality, comprehensiveness, and T2D specificity. ResultsThe title of the story translated into English is “The Story of Diabetes—The Story of Success.” It is text based and contains 86 pages in the local language, “Pashto,” with an English translation. The story is divided into five chapters and describes the initial diagnosis, fear associated with the disease, issues related to referral to certified practitioners, the importance of a balanced diet, and related lifestyle habits. After story evaluation, the raters suggested its literary and scientific quality, comprehensiveness, and T2D specificity (Pearson correlation scores of >0.8). ConclusionThis unique story was created for T2D and found to be of significant quality in terms of its literary and scientific quality, as well as its comprehensiveness and diabetes specificity. As a result, it may be suggested that it can be used in subsequent studies to improve T2D management among adult patients.背景：2型糖尿病（Type 2 diabetes, T2D）是一种慢性终身性疾病，需在社区场景中实施长期的预防与管理策略。健康故事是一种新兴干预技术，可作为有效工具助力2型糖尿病的优质预防与管理。 研究目标：本研究的核心目标是基于当代科学知识开发一款健康故事产品，将其作为社区层面用于2型糖尿病高效沟通与疾病管理的社会健康干预技术。 研究方法：研究团队与巴基斯坦开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省的非营利性营养教育、认知与培训（Nutrition Education, Awareness, and Training, NEAT）机构建立了社区-学术合作关系，双方约定开发一款可作为健康与营养教育传播工具的故事，用于优化2型糖尿病患者的疾病管理。故事创作流程分为三个阶段：（1）理论构建阶段；（2）模型搭建阶段；（3）评估验证阶段。评估人员对该故事的文学与科学质量、内容全面性以及2型糖尿病针对性进行了评价。 研究结果：该故事的英文译名为《糖尿病的故事——成功的历程》。故事以文本形式呈现，以当地语言普什图语（Pashto）撰写，共计86页，并附带英文译本。故事分为五个章节，内容涵盖疾病初诊、患者对疾病的恐惧情绪、转诊至持证执业医师的相关问题、均衡膳食的重要性以及相关生活习惯。经评估后，评估人员确认了该故事的文学与科学质量、内容全面性以及2型糖尿病针对性（皮尔逊相关评分均大于0.8）。 结论：这款专为2型糖尿病开发的特色故事，在文学与科学质量、内容全面性以及糖尿病针对性方面均表现出优异的品质。因此，该故事可推荐用于后续研究，以改善成年2型糖尿病患者的疾病管理效果。
