To explore
and
enumerate
the
occurrence
of barriers
for attaining
diabetes
care goals
Positivism
theory
Community-
dwelling adults
having diabetes;
Calgary; those
who had been
diagnosed with
HbA1c>10% or
between 7-8%.
Participants were selected
from Alberta Calgary
through telephonic
interviews
Survey was administered
over telephone in order to
determine the patient
reported facilitators and
barriers to diabetes care
Responses
between
participants
were analysed
with the help
of summary
statistics
Good access to
diabetes care were
reported by
participants having
HbA1c>10%. Lack of
coordination of
diabetes care, unmet
healthcare needs,
absence of confidence
and lack of social
support were major
barriers
Underrepresentation
of participants,
restricted
generalizability of
the findings
Identification of the
barriers will help in
overcoming them
by devising
appropriate
strategies in future
