The journal is nurse-led, multidisciplinary in scope, and provides a platform for nurses and other professionals to share knowledge and innovations to improve the care of people with diabetes. <em>International Diabetes Nursing </em>publishes high quality original research articles, reviews, methodological articles, research protocols, case reports, professional and policy articles, along with other contributions (book reviews, conference reports) as described in the journal guidelines.</p> <p><em>International Diabetes Nursing</em> was previously known as <em>International Diabetes Nursing</em> (2015-2017) and <em>European Diabetes Nursing</em> (2004-2014).</p> Foundation of European Nurses in Diabetes en-US International Diabetes Nursing 2057-3324 https://internationaldiabetesnursing.org/index.php/idn/article/view/336 <p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a public health issue with increasing prevalence, projected to affect 1.27 billion people in 2050. Its onset can largely be prevented or delayed by lifestyle changes. Access to screening is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment to avoid complications due to long-term elevated blood glucose levels. Studies have shown that populations with low socioeconomic status (SES) are among those groups that are more prone to developing T2D. With rising incidence and prevalence of the disease, prevention measures specifically targeting vulnerable groups such as socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, become increasingly relevant. The objective of the scoping review is to investigate what types of interventions have been tested and reported regarding prevention of T2D targeting low socioeconomic populations and that are applicable in a high-income country.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> Studies addressing T2D prevention interventions tailored for populations with low SES that are applicable in high-income countries will be included. A systematic search strategy to identify peer-reviewed literature was developed in consultation with research librarians. Databases searched are Cinahl, PubMed and Web of Science. Interventional studies of various designs will be included and the researchers will independently assess studies for inclusion. The results of the study inclusion process will be reported in the final scoping review and presented in a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for scoping review (PRISMA-ScR) flow diagram. Analysis of the data will be presented using a narrative approach, as studies are expected to have heterogeneous design features and variable outcome measures.</p> <p><strong>Discussion:</strong> The results will provide an overview of tested T2D prevention intervention studies targeting populations with low SES and will be used to inform and guide the research team and healthcare management for future interventions in Malmö.</p> Josefine Thylefors Magdalena Annersten Gershater Elisabeth Mangrio Slobodan Zdravkovic Copyright (c) 2025 Josefine Thylefors, Magdalena Annersten Gershater, Elisabeth Mangrio, Slobodan Zdravkovic https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-02-11 2025-02-11 18 10.57177/idn.v18.336
