Brief summary
This study aims to determine what older patients on insulin pumps and the specialist diabetes staff caring for these patients, might choose to prioritize during outpatients' discussions. The study aims to determine whether there is discordance between patients and staff in prioritization decisions. This will be assessed through the use of a software prioritization tool 1000minds, which will be administered to both patients and diabetes clinical staff. This prioritization tool has been populated with 10 statements about possible clinical topics for discussion. These 10 statements were developed following consultation with clinical and patient stakeholders. Additionally, the patient participants will be asked to complete a semi-structured interview questionnaire with a member of the research team which involves questions regarding their views and experiences using an insulin pump.
Interventions
Eligible participants (i.e. using an insulin pump with diabetes and aged 65+ years) will be asked to complete a 10-statement survey using the 1000minds decision-making and adaptive conjoint analysis software tool (see https://www.1000minds.com/). Participants will be asked to prioritize the 10 statements, in terms of what they would like to discuss at a routine diabetes clinic visit. Participants will access the survey via a desktop or laptop computer that will be set up with the 1000minds surve
Eligible participants (i.e. using an insulin pump with diabetes and aged 65+ years) will be asked to complete a 10-statement survey using the 1000minds decision-making and adaptive conjoint analysis software tool (see https://www.1000minds.com/). Participants will be asked to prioritize the 10 statements, in terms of what they would like to discuss at a routine diabetes clinic visit. Participants will access the survey via a desktop or laptop computer that will be set up with the 1000minds survey ready to go. They will be offered support to complete the online survey, with help from a member of the research team. The survey should typically take 15 minutes or less to complete. Additionally, participants will be interviewed by a research team member and asked semi-structured questions. These questions will explore their personal views and experiences of using an insulin pump. Baseline demographics and clinical information will also be collected. This questionnaire should also typically take 15 minutes or less to complete and so the total time for the interview (questionnaire and online survey) will be 30 minutes.
