This grey literature reference is included in the Academy's Literature Collection in keeping with our mission to gather all sources of information on integration. Grey literature is comprised of materials that are not made available through traditional publishing avenues. Often, the information from unpublished resources can be limited and the risk of bias cannot be determined.
AIM: To explore factors that foster positive mental health among adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and identify opportunities for more accessible, person-centred mental health support within diabetes care. METHODS: Participants were purposively sampled from the Mental health IN Diabetes Monitoring And Pathways (MIND-MAP) cohort study. Semi-structured online interviews were conducted with 32 adults in Victoria, Australia. Interviews explored factors associated with emotional well-being and experiences and preferences for mental health support. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis, informed by phenomenology and constructivist grounded theory. The study was co-designed with guidance from a multidisciplinary Steering Committee and lived experience input through a Community Advisory Group comprising 12 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. RESULTS: Participants described internal strengths (e.g. acceptance, perspective-taking) and external supports (e.g. peer connections, empathetic health professionals, timely access to mental health care) that supported their mental health. Several barriers to accessing mental health support were reported, including limited-service access, geographic and financial constraints, discomfort discussing emotions, and a lack of diabetes-specific mental health expertise. Emotional support was often absent at diagnosis and other key transition points. Participants called for support that is empathetic, non-judgemental, tailored and embedded within diabetes services. CONCLUSION: Adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes show resilience in managing mental health, yet systemic, practical and attitudinal barriers remain. Care models should build on personal strengths, normalise emotional support and integrate psychological care from diagnosis, as well as harness the value of peer support.
