Plain-language summary

What this paper says

A plain-language read of the study’s main message and where it applies.

Study focus

This study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of a self-led mindfulness-based intervention for adolescents with Type 1 diabetes, finding it was not well-received.

Clinical relevance

Understanding the feasibility and acceptability of interventions is crucial for developing effective support for adolescents with chronic conditions like Type 1 diabetes. If interventions are not well-received, they are unlikely to be utilized, which can hinder efforts to improve mental health and diabetes management in this population.

Keep in mind

Participants did not find the intervention feasible or acceptable. Barriers included forgetfulness and lack of relevance to diabetes management. Feedback indicated a preference for digital formats over workbooks.
