Abstract:
Diabetes is a chronic illness and management requires consistent effort. The prevalence of diabetes in India is estimated to reach 80 million by 2030. It becomes essential for a proactive approach to identifying symptoms along with the psychological causal factors. Psychological interventions have been shown to aid in the management of diabetes. Voluntary participation leads to challenges of refusal to participate. This paper aims to understand the common reasons for nonparticipation in a digital intervention among patients with type 2 diabetes. It was identified that knowledge and altruistic benefits of participation in research need to be highlighted in our society.
