Objective: We aim to gain insights into self-care behaviors of individuals with cardiometabolic conditions. Methods: A convenience sample of 98 adult patients with ACS and T2D was recruited in the United States, Germany, and Taiwan to participate in a mixed methods study using ethnographic methods. All participants completed 7-day web-based diaries tracking their level of engagement, and 48 completed 90-minute web-based semistructured interviews between February 4, 2021, and March 27, 2021, focusing on themes including moments of engagement. Qualitative analysis identified factors influencing self-care practices and a Patient Mind States Model prototype. Results: Patient reports indicate that many patients feel social pressure to adhere to treatment. Patients’ experience can be understood within 5 categories defined in terms of their degree of engagement and adherence (“ignoring,” “struggling,” “juggling,” “controlling,” and “reframing”). Conclusions: For people living with ACS and T2D, the self-care journey is defined by patterns of patient experiences, which can identify areas that tailored digital health care interventions may play a meaningful role. %M 38214969 %R 10.2196/43683 %U https://formative.jmir.org/2024/1/e43683 %U https://doi.org/10.2196/43683 %U http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/38214969
