The aim of this study was to pilot test a prototype website called MODIAB-web designed to support pregnant women and mothers with type 1 diabetes.
A focus group was undertaken and the results were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.
Eight subthemes were identified, comprising "blood glucose versus insulin," "application for smart phones," "the time aspect," "interface and technology," "forum," "direct link to the diabetes midwife," "ask the expert," and "lack of contact information." These subthemes were condensed into two main themes. The first theme was "easily understood interface, but in need of a more blood-glucose focused orientation" and the second theme was "forum for interaction with both equals and experts."
The women in this study had positive impressions of several of the MODIAB-web functions, including a forum for pregnant mothers with type 1 diabetes and the possibility of being able to put their blood glucose levels into a diagram which could be sent directly to the diabetes midwife. Access to articles and information via the "fact" tab and the ability to ask questions of experts were also significantly helpful to women in the focus group. Pregnant women and mothers with type 1 diabetes can gain support from such a Web-based self-help system.
本研究旨在对一个名为 MODIAB-web 的原型网站进行试点测试，该网站旨在为 1 型糖尿病孕妇和产妇提供支持。
进行了焦点小组讨论，并使用定性内容分析对结果进行了分析。
确定了 8 个副标题，包括“血糖与胰岛素”、“适用于智能手机”、“时间方面”、“界面和技术”、“论坛”、“与糖尿病助产士的直接链接”、“问专家”和“缺乏联系信息”。这些副标题被浓缩为两个主要主题。第一个主题是“易于理解的界面，但需要更注重血糖”，第二个主题是“与平等和专家互动的论坛”。
本研究中的女性对 MODIAB-web 的几个功能印象深刻，包括 1 型糖尿病孕妇的论坛，以及将血糖水平输入图表并直接发送给糖尿病助产士的可能性。通过“事实”标签访问文章和信息，以及向专家提问的能力，对焦点小组中的女性也有很大帮助。基于网络的自助系统可以为 1 型糖尿病孕妇和产妇提供支持。
