Abstract
Objectives: The aim of structured education for type 2 diabetes is to improve knowledge, skills and confidence in self-management. It is recommended in the UK for everyone who is newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. We developed an on-line programme called HeLP-Diabetes: Starting Out to address poor uptake of face-to-face structured education. The aim of this paper is to describe the intervention in line with the Template for Intervention Description and Replication guide, which calls for better reporting of interventions. Methods: The Template for Intervention Description and Replication guide provided the item headings for the description. These included the theoretical underpinning, materials, procedures, providers, and mode of delivery. Results: The programme was developed to meet NICE requirements for structured education and therefore followed a structured curriculum with four sessions covering content such as what diabetes is and how it is treated, possible complications, and how lifestyle changes can improve health. Content was delivered in text, images and video, and behaviour change techniques, self-assessment and feedback were used to help people target key health behaviours. The programme was delivered entirely online, but the team were available for support via telephone. Email feedback and reminders were sent. Conclusions: The TIDieR checklist allowed us to provide a clear structure for the description of the intervention. However, it could not capture the full complexity of the programme, and intervention developers considering using it in the future may find that it needs to be adapted to make it more specific to their intervention.
