Tele-health coaches' responses to clients' emotional cues and concerns and engagement with the Bump to Baby and Me Intervention.

Objective: To explore the relationship between health coaches' responses to emotional cues/concerns and women's subsequent engagement with the health coaching mHealth platform.

Methods: 24 face-to-face video-mediated initial conversations between participants and their health coaches were coded using the VR-CoDES-P method. Women with high risk of developing Gestational Diabetes Mellitus were selected from the study, based on their engagement with the smartphone health coaching platform.

Making prediabetes visible in primary health care: a qualitative study of health care professionals' perspectives.

Background: People with prediabetes are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes and its complications, such as cardiovascular diseases and premature mortality. Primary prevention and health maintenance are therefore imperative. Evidence has shown that prediabetes can be prevented or delayed with behavioural change, mainly in eating habits and physical activity.

Time to move beyond monological perspectives in health behavior change communication research and practice.

Chronic disease self-management and health behavior change programs are becoming increasingly important to health service delivery to prevent the development of chronic disease and optimize health outcomes for those who suffer from it. To train people to deliver these programs effectively, we need to understand both the what and how of program delivery. While there is an abundant literature on what, and a merging evidence about what techniques to use, such as goals setting and self-monitoring, the literature on how programs should be delivered is less well developed.

The Role of Trust in the Care of Young Children with Type 1 Diabetes.

Using the theoretical framework of Guido Möllering conceptualising trust as a mental process composed of three elements-expectation, interpretation and suspension-we examined the role of trust in relation to young children's (age ≤ 7 years) psychosocial needs when diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Based on qualitative interviews with health care professionals (HPCs) from paediatric diabetes clinics in all regions of Denmark, we identified four main themes: trust through meaningful interaction, trust as a key factor at the time of diagnosis, trust in a long-term perspective and caregivers as the bridge to trust. We conclude that trust between young children and HCPs is central to children's psychosocial experience, as well as a primary need, when children are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

Pre-empting the challenges faced in adolescence: A systematic literature review of effects of psychosocial interventions for preteens with type 1 diabetes.

Introduction: Numerous psychosocial interventions have been conducted in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, aiming to improve their self-management and autonomy acquisition. However, these tend to address family conflict and parental perspectives, and a scarce number of interventions explore the outcomes among preteens. This review examined the outcomes of psychosocial interventions for preteens with type 1 diabetes, as an under-researched field to date.

Late bedtime and body mass index gain in indigenous Australian children in the longitudinal study of indigenous children.

Aim: To explore sleep patterns in indigenous Australian children and assess the role of sleep timing in longitudinal changes in body mass index (BMI).

Methods: Latent profile analysis was conducted with the Australian Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children (LSIC) cohort data (wave 5), to determine distinct patterns of bed and wake timing, taking account of weekday sleep duration, weekday and weekend bedtimes, and weekday wake times. Multilevel models with a random intercept were used to investigate the role of baseline sleep pattern in predicting longitudinal changes in BMI.
