Acceptability and adoption of the Face‐it health promotion intervention targeting women with prior gestational diabetes and their partners: A qualitative study of the perspectives of healthcare professionals
Authors' conclusion
When delivering health promotion to women with prior GDM, flexible intervention components that support psychosocial- and mental health topics may increase acceptability and adoption of the intervention among HCPs. HCPs' skills, values, and organisational factors should be considered prior and during implementation.

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Acceptability and adoption influenced by (1) skills and technology, (2) values, and (3) organisation
- Acceptable because the dialogue tool in home visits and digital coaching via the LIVA app were flexible, enabling HCPs to address psychosocial health and personalise goal setting
- Asynchronous and non-verbal communication was experienced as straining HCPs' relationship with families, misaligned with HCPs' values
- A non-judgemental environment was needed to increase acceptability towards addressing T2D risk after GDM
- Increased collaboration between HCPs may have aligned advice and support to families and benefitted delivery
