ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Diabetic management programs play an important role in supporting
people who live with diabetes and preventing diabetes related
complications. These programs need to be culturally relevant
to be successful.
Aim: To explore culturally
specific diabetic management programs within primary health
care settings that can be adapted to the context of Qatar.
Method: This literature review
was guided by Cronin et al.’s (2008) framework and included
17 scholarly articles published between 2011 and 2021. The
Mixed Method Appraisal Tool was used to critically appraise
the quality of these articles.
Results: The main components
of culturally specific diabetic management programs are information
and understanding, cultural norms, cultural interventions,
and personal motivation.
Discussion: In order to ameliorate diabetes management for
clients, culture needs to be considered when providing education.
Key terms: Diabetes, cultural,
self-management
