Diabetes self-management education (DSME) is a core element of diabetes care; however, because of COVID-19 restrictions, in-person diabetes educational activities were suspended. Social networks have played an instrumental role in this context to provide DSME in 2 cities of Argentina and help persons with diabetes in their daily self-management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of this study is to evaluate 2 diabetes education modalities (synchronous and asynchronous) using the social media platform Facebook through the content of posts on diabetes educational sessions in 2 cities of Argentina during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this qualitative study, we explored 2 modalities of e-learning (synchronous and asynchronous) for diabetes education that used the Facebook pages of public health institutions in Chaco and La Rioja, Argentina, in the context of confinement. Social media metrics and the content of the messages posted by users were analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 332 messages were analyzed. We found that in the asynchronous modality, there was a higher number of visualizations, while in the synchronous modality, there were more posts and interactions between educators and users. We also observed that the number of views increased when primary care clinics were incorporated as disseminators, sharing educational videos from the sessions via social media. Positive aspects were observed in the posts, consisting of messages of thanks and, to a lesser extent, reaffirmations, reflections or personal experiences, and consultations related to the subject treated. Another relevant finding was that the educator\/moderator role had a greater presence in the synchronous modality, where posts were based on motivation for participation, help to resolve connectivity problems, and answers to specific user queries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings show positive contributions of an educational intervention for diabetes care using the social media platform Facebook in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although each modality (synchronous vs asynchronous) could have differential and particular advantages, we believe that these strategies have potential to be replicated and adapted to other contexts. However, more documented experiences are needed to explore their sustainability and long-term impact from the users' perspective.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/38862","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,2]],"date-time":"2022-11-02T14:50:05Z","timestamp":1667400605000},"page":"e38862","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Use of 2 e-Learning Modalities for Diabetes Education Using Facebook in 2 Cities of Argentina During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Qualitative Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2728-9708","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniela Luz","family":"Moyano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2221-0087","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Victoria","family":"Lopez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2870-7214","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Cavallo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9998-4163","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julia Patricia","family":"Candia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0340-5778","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aaron","family":"Kaen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6100-1862","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vilma","family":"Irazola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6397-4406","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Beratarrechea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","unstructured":"IDFDiabetes around the World in 20212022-01-02https:\/\/diabetesatlas.org\/"},{"key":"ref2","unstructured":"Ministry of Health and Social Development of Argentina4th National Survey of Risk Factors2022-01-02https:\/\/www.indec.gob.ar\/indec\/web\/Nivel4-Tema-4-32-68"},{"key":"ref3","unstructured":"National Ministry of HealthCOVID-19 Orientaciones para el equipo de salud en el manejo de las personas con diabetes mellitus durante la pandemia2022-01-04https:\/\/bancos.salud.gob.ar\/sites\/default\/files\/2020-07\/covid-19-orientaciones-equipo-salud-manejo-de-personas-con-diabetes-mellitus-V2.pdf"},{"key":"ref4","unstructured":"Word Health OrganizationMaintaining Essential Health Services: Operational Guidance for the COVID-19 Context.
