Dietitians in diabetes offer specialist evidence-based advice to people with T1DM and provide education in either individual or group settings. The purpose of this study was to explore dietitians\u2019 perception of, and role in, group-based education as well as prospects for development.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This was a qualitative descriptive study conducted in Sweden using a convenience sampling of dietitians working in adult diabetes care. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants and data were analysed using a content analysis approach.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Ten dietitians with a median experience of 14.5 years in diabetes care were interviewed. The informants were all appreciative of facilitating group-based education and perceived that it was beneficial for people with T1DM to be part of group processes, but the informants did also suggest that there were challenges for their professional role. The main challenges reported was to adjust the level of depth and complexity to the information provided and the lack of ability to individualize the education-sessions in a heterogenous group. None of the dietitians reported performing pre-assessment or follow-up audits on the group-based education.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>There was a great engagement from the dietitians, but they identified a lack of framework that address challenges regarding group-based education. The dietitians experienced examples of person-centred care while facilitating group-based education, which may benefit people with T1DM. Based on the results, it would be valuable to explore the pedagogic training level of Swedish dietitians and potential barriers in their ability to facilitate group-based education. We suggest that a framework for group-based education should be explored together with patient representatives to optimize the care given to ensure cost-effectiveness, optimize clinical outcomes, quality of life and equally accessible care for people with T1DM.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12902-022-01165-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,17]],"date-time":"2022-10-17T20:35:26Z","timestamp":1666038926000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Dietitians\u2019 perspectives on challenges and prospects for group-based education to adults with type 1 diabetes \u2013 a qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Sophie Rodebjer","family":"Cairns","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elisabeth Stoltz","family":"Sj\u00f6str\u00f6m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"1165_CR1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
