AbstractBackground: Education is an essential part of diabetes care. However, in The Netherlands, no education programme was available for everyone at any time and adaptive to users’ specific needs.
Aim: To describe the structured development and final content of a type 2 diabetes web-based education programme.
Methods: A web-based education programme – the Diabetes Interactive Education Programme (DIEP) – was developed using intervention mapping and involved collaboration between programme planners, Dutch diabetes organisations and potential users (patients and healthcare providers). DIEP incorporates information, multimedia and tools to support self-reflection, goal setting, problem solving and active patient participation.
Results: http:www.diep.info consists of seven chapters with basic and additional information, a dictionary, self-management checklists and a workbook for goal setting and preparation for consultations. The information included is mostly spoken text supported by headlines, images, video and patient experiences. Adoption, implementation and evaluation plans have been made. Outcomes of the process and effect evaluation will be reported in the future.
Conclusions: DIEP is a unique education programme, based on theory and planned development, which is supported by diabetes organisations. By using multimedia and incorporating different functionalities, DIEP attempts to meet the current practice requirements. DIEP aims to meet the needs of multiple, specific patient groups in the future, and has already been adapted for use in different countries (eg Belgium).
