Perceptions and Intentions to Prevent Diabetes Among At-Risk Individuals: A Qualitative Study Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour.
Article in Journal of clinical nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo explore the perceptions and factors that influence intentions to prevent diabetes among at-risk individuals.
designA descriptive qualitative study design was used. The Consolidated criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) checklist guided the presentation of findings.
methodsNine focus groups, including 47 individuals at risk of diabetes from the community in Singapore, were interviewed from April 2023 to January 2024. The semi-structured guide was developed on the basis of the theory of planned behaviour and validated by two content experts. Focus group interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using Hsieh and Shannon's content analysis.
resultsSix main categories emerged from the data analysis. Individual's perceptions of diabetes were associated with excessive sugar, and prediabetes a warning sign of impending diabetes. Participants were knowledgeable about the risk factors of diabetes but needed more actionable information. They also perceived that more awareness of diabetes is necessary. Participants' attitudes towards diabetes were individualistic, dependent on their sense of vulnerability and individual personalities. The subjective norms that influenced their behaviours were socio-cultural in nature. The main barriers impeding diabetes prevention were their commitment and responsibilities to family and work, accessibility to healthier lifestyle practices and internal struggles with the tediousness of diabetes prevention behaviours.
conclusionTo improve intentions to engage in diabetes prevention, a diabetes prevention programme needs to be hosted on a culturally appropriate mHealth platform for groups of like-minded individuals at risk of diabetes and their family and friends. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSES: Nurses possess the necessary skills and experience to develop and deliver diabetes prevention programmes, create awareness of existing government initiatives and resources, and improve chronic disease management in the clinical setting. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Members of the public assisted in recruitment. They also engaged in focus group discussions and provided the insights necessary for this study.
