Abstract

Intervention Mapping (IM) methodology was used to develop a support programme for childhood diabetes management at a paediatric clinic located in a tertiary-level state hospital in KwaZulu-Natal. The aim was to develop and strengthen psychosocial support for patients and caregivers within a patient-centred approach. The IM process combined research, relevant models including the revised Childhood Adaptation Model to Chronic Illness (CAMCI-DM), contextual data and participatory group needs assessment from which was developed a conceptual model for objectives and outcomes. Key areas for psychosocial support interventions were improved multidisciplinary case coordination, family and individual psychotherapies, continuity between inpatient and outpatient care, and group support and education programmes.
