Purpose To examine youth and parent perspectives on the acceptability of Bright 1 Bodies, a group physical activity and coping intervention for adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods Adolescents participated in 12 weekly sessions of moderate to vigorous physical activity and discussion with peers with T1DM. Adolescents completed an exit survey measuring satisfaction with the intervention on a 5-point Likert scale. Semistructured interviews were conducted with adolescents and at least one parent. Qualitative description was used to develop themes that summarize the acceptability of the intervention. Results Mean scores for survey subscales were: 4.5 (SD = 0.39) for program components and strategies, 4.4 (SD = 0.44) for comfort with the intervention, and 4.3 (SD = 0.62) for instructors. Themes included: (1) adolescents and parents valued being around others with T1DM and their families, (2) the intervention helped adolescents gain knowledge and reinforce diabetes self-management behaviors, (3) challenges included convenience and sustaining participant engagement, and (4) adolescents intended to sustain physical activity and diabetes self-management behaviors after the intervention. Conclusions Adolescents and parents viewed the intervention as acceptable across multiple domains. Participants valued the group aspect of the intervention, and future interventions would benefit from integrating social interactions with others with T1DM.

Introduction: To maintain optimal glycemic levels and prevent long-term complications, adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) should engage in regular moderate to vigorous activity (MVPA) in addition to other diabetes self-care behaviors. Though interventions to prepare adolescents safely increase MVPA have been developed and tested, barriers continue to limit dissemination and engagement in clinical and community settings. Objective: To examine youth and parent perspectives on the acceptability of a group physical activity and coping intervention for adolescents with T1DM.Subjects: 18 adolescents (11-19 years) with T1DM who completed the intervention and at least one of their parents.Methods: Adolescents completed an exit survey measuring satisfaction with the intervention (program components, comfort, and instructors) on a 5-point scale. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with adolescents and at least one parent. Qualitative description was used to develop themes that summarize participant experiences during the intervention. Results: The intervention was rated highly: program components (M=4.5), comfort (M=4.4), and instructors (M=4.3). Themes included: (1) Adolescents and parents valued being around others with T1DM and their families; (2) The intervention helped adolescents gain knowledge and reinforce diabetes self-management behaviors; (3) Challenges included convenience and sustaining participant engagement; and (4) Adolescents intended to sustain physical activity and diabetes self-management behaviors after the intervention.Conclusions: Adolescents with T1DM and their parents viewed a group physical activity and discussion intervention as a positive experience. Because participants highly valued the group aspect of the intervention, future MVPA interventions would likely benefit from integrating social interactions with others with T1DM.

Although theoretical and empirical writings on habits and routines are a promising body of science to guide interventions, little is known about such interventions among emerging adults with type 1 diabetes. Thus, an integrative review was conducted to describe interventions in relation to habits and routines, their influence on outcomes, and users’ perspectives. A medical librarian conducted a search. Teams screened titles, abstracts, and articles based upon predefined criteria. Evidence from the final 11 articles was synthesized. A minority of investigators explicitly articulated habits and routines theoretical underpinnings as part of the interventions. However, text messaging or feedback via technology used in other interventions could be implicitly linked to habits and routines. For the most part, these interventions positively influenced diabetes self-management-related behaviors and health outcomes. In general, the interventions were perceived positively by users. Future research is advocated using habit and routine theoretical underpinnings to guide interventions.
