Objectives: People with mental illnesses aie more likely to experience diabetes-related complications that can reduce life expectancy by 10 to 15 years. Diabetes management and outcomes can be improved when lifestyle interventions addiessmg healthful eating habits and physical activity use content tailored to the learning needs of individuals or groups. Understanding the challenges that prevent adherence to diabetes recommendations can start to mfoim the design of tailored diabetes education care. The purpose of this pilot study was to explore the perspectives of clients with mental illnesses and type 2 diabetes with regard to challenges faced when engaging in diabetes self-care behaviours.Methods: Focus gioups were held with 17 people who had type 2 diabetes and mental illnesses, including depressive disorder, bipolai disoidei, anxiety disoider, schizophiema and schizoaffective disorder. In the groups, participants were asked to share their experiences with diabetes self-care and access to diabetes-education services. Data were tianscribed veibatim, assessed foi quality and satuiation and coded to identify relationships and meanings among identified themes.Results Participants identified many challenges and unmet needs that created multidimensional and interrelated barriers to care, ultimately resulting m poor diabetes self-care behaviours. Some challenges were psychological in nature and related to emotional states, lifestyles and food habits, perceptions of affoidability, health literacy and value of health infoimation. Other challenges included the physical states of health and social environments.Conclusions: Multidimensional diabetes education programs that considei psychological, physical and social challenges are needed to address the needs of people with mental illnesses.
