Care Partner Support Following a Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support Intervention.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to understand care partner (CP) perceptions of an interdisciplinary diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) intervention and explore how the interdisciplinary DSMES intervention influences diabetes-specific day-to-day interactions from the CP's perspective.

Methods: A multiple-methods research design comprised of an online survey including demographics and supportive behaviors and a semistructured interview was conducted. The survey was completed by 16 CPs.
