    AIM: Diabetes distress is experienced by up to 36% of adults with type 2 diabetes. Australian type 2 diabetes guidelines recommend annual assessment of diabetes distress in general practice. This study explores general practitioners' knowledge, current practice, and factors influencing implementation of guidelines, including Person Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) use. METHODS: A cross-sectional online survey was disseminated via e-mail to 4776 Australian general practitioners listed on the Australasian Medical Publishing Company database. RESULTS: 264 (5%) surveys were returned. 75% indicated that general practitioners were the most appropriate professionals to assess diabetes distress. Sixteen percent reported asking about diabetes distress during type 2 diabetes consultations more than half the time, with 13% using a PROM more than half the time: 64% use the Kessler-10, and 1.9% use the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) scale. While general practitioners had positive beliefs about the consequences of assessing and addressing diabetes distress, they also reported barriers in motivation, environment, and knowledge of guidelines. CONCLUSION: Most respondents endorsed general practitioners' role in assessing diabetes distress, but few ask about or assess diabetes distress in routine consultations. To support uptake of guideline recommendations for diabetes-specific PROM use, environmental factors, specifically time, need to be addressed.

    Effect of routinely assessing and addressing depression and diabetes distress on clinical outcomes among adults with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review
    McMorrow, R ; Hunter, B ; Hendrieckx, C ; Kwasnicka, D ; Speight, J ; Cussen, L ; Ho, FCS ; Emery, J ; Manski-Nankervis, J-A (BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-05)
    OBJECTIVES: This study examined the effect of using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) routinely to assess and address depressive symptoms and diabetes distress among adults with type 2 diabetes. DESIGN: A systematic review of published peer-reviewed studies. DATA SOURCES: Medline, Embase, CINAHL Complete, PsycINFO, The Cochrane Library and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Studies including adults with type 2 diabetes, published in English, from the inception of the databases to 24 February 2022 inclusive; and where the intervention included completion of a PROM of depressive symptoms and/or diabetes distress, with feedback of the responses to a healthcare professional. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Using Covidence software, screening and risk of bias assessment were conducted by two reviewers independently with any disagreements resolved by a third reviewer. RESULTS: The search identified 4512 citations, of which 163 full-text citations were assessed for eligibility, and nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Five studies involved assessment of depressive symptoms only, two studies assessed diabetes distress only, and two studies assessed both. All studies had an associated cointervention. When depressive symptoms were assessed (n=7), a statistically significant between-group difference in depressive symptoms was observed in five studies; with a clinically significant (>0.5%) between-group difference in HbA1c in two studies. When diabetes distress was assessed (n=4), one study demonstrated statistically significant difference in depressive symptoms and diabetes distress; with a clinically significant between-group difference in HbA1c observed in two studies. CONCLUSION: Studies are sparse in which PROMs are used to assess and address depressive symptoms or diabetes distress during routine clinical care of adults with type 2 diabetes. Further research is warranted to understand how to integrate PROMs into clinical care efficiently and determine appropriate interventions to manage identified problem areas.
