Overview

Systematic review reveals barriers and facilitators in healthcare service access and utilisation for type 2 diabetes among culturally diverse populations, suggesting potential pathways for improvement.

Key Points

  • Healthcare service utilisation remains low among culturally diverse populations, with significant barriers reported at various care stages.
  • Notably, psychosocial barriers like fear of treatment and sociocultural factors such as stigma were significant during diagnosis and treatment.
  • The evidence synthesis utilized a systematic review methodology, incorporating 35 studies to identify barriers and facilitators in healthcare access.
  • Improved understanding of access factors could enhance healthcare service delivery and inform policymaking for culturally diverse groups.
