Conclusions
DISEASE
The results from this study did not document any significant effect on self-reported questionnaire outcomes in the population investigated. However, the significant ceiling effects, represented by the relatively high scores at baseline, indicated that most participants did not have a large disease burden or that the instruments used might not capture what matters the most for these patients. The qualitative data showed that the intervention opened patients’ eyes to reflection, entailing a greater awareness of health challenges. The dialogues on important matters in their life situation illuminated the potential beneficial effects on HbA1c and body weight that was identified. We suggest testing the intervention in a group of patients with larger disease burden and a more expressed motivation for change.
