An estimated 382 million people worldwide are living with diabetes, and the prevalence is expected to reach 592 million by 2035 (IDF Global Atlas, 2013). Diabetes is one of the major diseases of our time. An estimated 382 million In Norway, about 350,000 people have diabetes, of which The group collaborates with researchers and clinicians people worldwide are living with diabetes, and the prevalence is expected to approximately half are undiagnosed.

4 2. Overall aims and intermediate objectives Projects in the DiaBEST research group aim to contribute to research for best practice in diabetes health care and the implementation of evidence-based practice in diabetes health care services. The overall aims of the DiaBEST research group are: 1. To develop high quality research within the field of diabetes psychosocial health, with specific focus on promoting patient competence and motivation to self-manage their condition. 2. To develop new knowledge of factors promoting high quality diabetes care and enhanced patient and professional competencies in diabetes care and management. A specific focus is on the challenges of coordination between specialist and primary health care services. 3. To contribute to a solid epidemiological knowledge base within the field of diabetes with a specific focus on challenges related to risk for complications and comorbidity. For intermediate objectives (see Appendix B). In connection with the World Diabetes Day November 14th, the DiaBEST research group held a mini seminar at Bergen University College. Three lectures were presented to the participants, all focusing on relevant topics in diabetes 4 research. ANNUAL Here REPORT is Associate professor Anne Haugstvedt. Photo: Marthe Berg-Olsen.

5 3. Activities in 2014 The past year has been an active one for DiaBEST researchers in terms of meetings, seminars and conference activities (see below). In April, the research group also organized a two day Scandinavian Conference for PhD, Postdoc and senior researchers to facilitate networking opportunities for PhD and Postdoc students in the field of diabetes nursing research, to encourage collaboration between Nordic researchers and to promote high quality research studies. This annual conference is a Nordic arena for the discussion of different perspectives on the key challenges faced by those working in diabetes prevention, treatment and education.

8 4. Research projects Research in DiaBEST is organized into the following areas: A. Diabetes and family research (DiaFamily) B. Psychosocial health and diabetes self-management (DiaLife) C. Diabetes in primary health care (DiaHealth) D. Diabetes research investigating risk for complications and comorbidity (DiaRisk) Figure 2 shows the organization of the research activities and the scientific environment. In this model the research is organized in four projects. The title of projects, members and research collaboration are listed below. A. Diabetes and family research (DiaFamily) Project leader: Associate Professor Anne Haugstvedt Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common chronic conditions of childhood in industrialized countries. Achievement of tight blood glucose control is difficult to maintain, and many children and adolescents demonstrate poor glycemic control. The considerable demands of managing the disease; including both treatment and self-care, represent a challenge to family life. Project A1: Fear of hypoglycemia and perceived diabetes-related burden among parents of children with type 1 diabetes. A population-based, cross-sectional study. Project group: Anne Haugstvedt, Tore Wentzel-Larsen, Berit Rokne, Marit Graue, Morten Aarflot and Tom Holvik (master student).

9 B. Psychosocial health and diabetes self-management (DiaLife) Project leader: Professor Marit Graue Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects most aspects of life, with psychosocial aspects having especially great importance for diabetes regulation and how the individual deals with the condition. Central within this area of research is the development of new knowledge of factors that motivate selfmanagement and adequate health behavior. To identify patient competence and motivational challenges at an early stage is important to prevent self-management problems and the development of long-term complications.

10 C. Diabetes in primary health care (DiaHealth) Project leader: Professor Marit Graue Promoting patient and professional competencies in diabetes care and management is a prerequisite for high-quality evidence-based health care. This project intends to expand the evidence-based decision base for innovation in patient self-management competencies and to advocate the renewal of health care providers professional delivery of diabetes care and management. Web-based interventions have the potential to develop a more modern, dynamic and flexible diabetes care based on the individuals needs, which in turn, can increase people with type 2 diabetes motivation for diabetes management. In specialist care, data have been collected to analyze characteristics and referral data of people with diabetes related foot ulcers attending specialist health care settings. These results inform an ongoing telemedicine follow-up care intervention for people with diabetes-related foot ulcers in municipal primary health care in collaboration with specialist health care. Data collection is also ongoing in sub-studies in home care service. User involvement is emphasized in all phases of the research project.

Foto: Scanpix Innsatsen mot diabetes 2 må settes inn tidligere. Blant annet via internett. Fra behandling til handling Det er velkjent at den beste måten å forhindre eller bli kvitt type 2 diabetes på er å trene og spise riktig mat. Likevel øker forekomsten av sykdommen. Ved å investere ressurser på et tidligere tidspunkt i behandlingskjeden kan vi dreie fokuset fra behandling til handling og gjøre flere friske. Løsningen kan være tettere oppfølging på internett. Det er ikke for alle å skulle «gå hjem og gjøre livsstilsendringer» når diagnosen er et faktum. Å endre livsstil krever tid, kunnskap og motivasjon, og de fleste som får sykdommen trenger støtte fra helsepersonell til å lage rutiner for trening og kosthold utfra sin egen livssituasjon. Fornye og Forsterke: Mange pasienter med type 2 diabetes oppnår ikke behandlingsmålene. Derfor ligger det et stort potensial for nye tilnærminger i det tradisjonelle tjenestetilbudet på fastlegekontorene til denne pasientgruppen. I dagens arbeids- og samfunnsliv har pasientene behov for løsninger som er mye mer fleksible og tilpasset den enkeltes hverdag. Vi trenger nye arbeidsmetoder som har større vekt på veiledning og samtale om livsstilsendringer slik at flere kan bli friske eller få en bedre diabetesregulering. I vår forskning arbeider vi derfor med å utvikle et tiltak til bruk på fastlegekontorene hvor dia- Bjørg Oftedal Førsteamanuensis, uis Marit Graue Professor, Høgskolen i Bergen Stavanger Aftenblad arbeider etter Vær Varsom-plakatens regler for god presseskikk. Den som mener seg rammet av urettmessig avisomtale, oppfordres til å ta kontakt med redaksjonen. betessykepleiere kan følge opp personer med diabetes via internett. Den nye tilnærmingen vil bli systematisk testet ut i studien. Vi trenger å ta innover oss at en person med diabetes i 1994, før internettets inntog, ikke er den samme pasienten som kommer inn døren for diabeteskonsultasjon i Dagens e-pasient har helt andre muligheter for å øke kunnskapen sin om diabetes enn bare for få år siden. Kunnskap kan søkes opp gjennom blogger, forum, helseinformasjonssider og etter hvert også elektroniske journalsystemer der den enkelte kan logge seg inn og få tilgang på egne helseopplysninger via BankID. Programmer for e-konsultasjon muliggjør og utfordrer en annen form for dialog mellom helsepersonell og pasienter. Norge har høy levestandard og en befolkning som er blant de beste i verden til å ta i bruk nye tekniske muligheter. Forholdene ligger dermed svært godt til rette for å ta i bruk den nye teknologien. Finnøy kommune har allerede testet ut oppfølging via internett i diabetesomsorgen. Tiltaket har resultert i at 180 personer har slanket vekk nærmere ett tonn. livsstilsendringer: For personer med type 2 diabetes kan krav om livsstilsendringer kollidere med viktige verdier i livet, slike verdier som har betydning for personens Pressens faglige utvalg (PFU) er et klageorgan oppnevnt av Norsk presseforbund. Organet, som har medlemmer fra presseorganisasjonene og fra allmenheten, behandler klager mot pressen i presseetiske spørsmål (trykt presse, radio og fjernsyn). identitet og selvfølelse. Hva ville du tenkt dersom du hadde måtte kutte ut mye av det du liker i dag for å hindre diabeteskomplikasjoner i fremtiden? «Mine interesser er dataspill, lesing og film. Ganske stillesittende og rolige aktiviteter. Jeg har med andre ord mine interesser på områder som passer svært dårlig sammen med diabetes». Noen opplever det å skulle oppsøke treningssenter som en enorm barriere. Kanskje bærer man på noen kilo for mye, og føler seg dårlig i møte med spretne og spreke kropper på tredemøllene. Nødvendige livsstilsendringer kan også komme i konflikt med samvær med venner og familie, og er vanskelig å kombinere med arbeidslivets effektivitetskrav. Den helsemessige gevinsten ved å gjøre endringer er stor. Man kan få tilbake en god blodsukkerbalanse uten bruk av medisiner, eller få redusert bruken av medisiner, og dermed også utsette videre sykdomsutvikling med tilhørende komplikasjoner som eksempelvis hjerte- og karsykdom. nasjonalt samfunnsansvar: Årsakene til økningen i forekomsten av type 2 diabetes er sammensatte, og vi har ikke noe enkelt svar. Det vi vet, er at det ligger et betydelig uutnyttet potensial i å satse på veilederkompetanse hos diabetessykepleiere, og en diabetesplan som Adresse: Rådhusgt. 17, Postboks 46, Sentrum 0101 Oslo. Telefon: Telefaks: E-post: pfu@presse.no retter et særlig søkelys på den moderne pasienten som er motivert til å gå nye veier for å nå sine mål. Å bremse antall nye personer som får type 2 diabetes, og støtte den som allerede har utviklet sykdommen til å forhindre eller forsinke utviklingen av komplikasjoner, er et nasjonalt samfunnsansvar. Det er på tide at helsemyndighetene legger resurser i diabetesomsorgen der det faktisk monner kommunehelsetjenestens veiledningskompetanse må prioriteres og verdsettes på lik linje med medisinsk behandling for denne pasientgruppen. Helsepersonell trenger mer pedagogisk og teknologisk kompetanse til å utvikle og ta i bruk nye e- konsultasjonsprogrammer med fokus på varige livsstilsendringer for personer md type 2 diabetes.

13 D. Diabetes research investigating risk for complications and comorbidity (DiaRisk) Project leader: Associate Professor Marjolein M. Iversen. The rapid increase of people with diabetes requires having a solid epidemiological knowledge base and developing high quality health care services and effective preventive strategies. Issues investigated in this area cover a broad range of epidemiological studies in diabetes and issues related to prevention, risk factors and mortality in diabetes. We will make use of large population surveys such as The Nord Trøndelag Health Survey and health records, such as the Norwegian Patient Registry. Research opportunities are significant and will be exploited by couplings with Death Registry and Norwegian Prescription Database. An important element of the research in this area will be a close cooperation with relevant clinical environments on studies related to diabetes related complications and comorbidity.

17 Appendix B - Aims and objectives ( ) Projects in the DiaBEST research group aim to contribute to research for best practice in diabetes health care and the implementation of evidence-based practice in diabetes health care services. The overall aims of DiaBEST are: 1. To develop high quality research within the field of diabetes and psychosocial health, with specific focus on promoting patient competence and motivation of self-management for living with diabetes. 2. To develop new knowledge of factors promoting high quality diabetes care and enhanced patient and professional competencies in diabetes care and management. A specific focus is on the challenges of coordination between specialist and primary health care services. 3. To contribute to a solid epidemiological knowledge base within the field of diabetes with a specific focus on challenges related to risk for complications and comorbidity. Intermediate objectives: 1. To develop a strong research environment within psychosocial health and diabetes to ensure that treatment and follow-up are based on the best available knowledge. 2. To develop knowledge about the motivation to self-manage their condition and the promotion of life skills for living with the disease. 3. To contribute to the development of high-quality health care services, effective preventive strategies for people with diabetes, and health care strategies that enhance the quality of care for people with diabetes. 4. To develop knowledge about factors promoting patient involvement in practice, interaction between professionals on different levels, and multidisciplinary work in diabetes care. 5. To build up a research network within an area that can be on the forefront internationally, strengthen the international research collaboration and increase the level of external funding. 6. To contribute to researcher recruitment through a systematic effort of student involvement at different levels. 7. To strengthen the research collaboration between the Western Norway Regional Health Authority (HelseVest), health care authorities in municipalities in Western Norway and the DiaBEST research group at Bergen University College, University of Bergen and University of Stavanger. 8. To make the research in DiaBEST available to the scientific research community through publications primarily in level 2 scientific journals, to professional health care workers through publications in journals of relevance for health care professions and to the general public, in particular people with diabetes and their families, through the publication of popular scientific literature. 17 ANNUAL REPORT
