Patient perceptions of barriers to attending annual diabetes review and foot assessment in general practice: a qualitative study
Discussion We identified several barriers to attendance, some of which are potentially modifiable. Addressing modifiable barriers and incorporating suggestions made by participants may improve access to the ADR and reduce non-attendance. Further participatory action research could explore these insights in ways that facilitate tino rangatiratanga (self-determination) and palpable action.PMID:38546785 | DOI:10.1071/HC23081 (Source: Journal of Primary Health Care)
