Understanding the acceptability of digital diabetes self-management tools among non-users: A qualitative study of personal, social and healthcare contexts - template analysis Rhiannon Hawkes (20367963) Joanna Brooks (16293260) Health psychology Preventative health care Digital health Health and community services Implementation science and evaluation Health services research digital health diabetes self-management acceptability qualitative template analysis type 1 diabetes type 2 diabetes <p dir="ltr">The National Health Service in England has recently announced plans to shift from analogue to digital services in their 10-year plan. However, digital health technology may also risk widening existing inequalities. MyWay Diabetes is a digital self-management intervention implemented in three regions across England. Understanding the acceptability of online and digital tools to support diabetes self-management, particularly among non‑users and underserved groups, is essential to ensure equitable engagement and implementation.</p><p dir="ltr">This study presents a qualitative analysis nested within a broader mixed-methods evaluation aiming to test the effectiveness of MyWay Diabetes. The current study set out to (1) explore barriers to using online and digital support across diverse demographic groups with type 1 and type 2 diabetes who had not used the MyWay Diabetes platform, and (2) identify factors that could improve uptake and continued engagement. We conducted six focus groups with n=35 people.</p><p dir="ltr">This dataset comprises the template analysis which support the themes described in the paper 'Understanding the acceptability of digital diabetes self-management tools among non-users: A qualitative study of personal, social and healthcare contexts.' A novel feature of template analysis is the iterative development of a coding template. <b>Included here is each version of the coding template, and the final version of the template (version 4).</b></p><p dir="ltr">The Theoretical Framework of Acceptability (TFA) informed the data analysis. An initial coding template was developed based on the TFA constructs plus inductive codes identified during initial data coding (template 1). As higher‑order TFA constructs recurred across multiple parts of participant accounts (for example, participants discussed “<i>affective attitude</i>” in relation to their management of diabetes, use of digital tools and wider healthcare structures) an updated template focused on inductive codes (template 2), with deductive mapping to TFA constructs conducted separately and summarised in tabular format. The updated template was iteratively refined through application to further transcripts (template 3) until it adequately represented all data. A final version template was applied to the full dataset (template 4).</p> 2026-09-29T15:33:08Z Dataset Dataset 10.48420/33986137.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Understanding_the_acceptability_of_digital_diabetes_self-management_tools_among_non-users_A_qualitative_study_of_personal_social_and_healthcare_contexts_-_template_analysis/33986137 CC BY 4.0
