Abstract
The aim of the current study was to describe health care providers' perceptions as to why individuals may or may not follow recommendations for reducing risk of developing type 2 diabetes. A grounded theory research design guided data collection and analysis. Data were collected from 16 health care providers through semi-structured interviews. Results demonstrated that health care providers perceived prevention adherence as related to individual characteristics of the patient and activities of the provider. Specifically, providers described assessment of patient-based characteristics associated with behavior, context, and traits. In addition, providers discussed giving attention to the patient-provider relationship and helping the patient incorporate small lifestyle changes. Providers might utilize social cognitive theory to understand personal and socio-structural aspects of adherence. In addition, providers should focus assessment and relationship building efforts on factors that support self-efficacy.
