Efficacy of standardized diabetes self-management education program / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the efficacy of standardized diabetes self-management education program. Methods A total of 200 cases of diabetes patients were divided into experimental group and control group with 100 cases each by random digits table method. For experimental group, the patients received standardized diabetes self-management education, for control group, traditional management and occasional telephone follow-up, for 6 months. Blood glucose metabolism, lipid, diabetes self-management ability were evaluated. Results The score in diet control, exercise therapy, medication, self-blood glucose monitoring, complication prevention and self-management ability of experimental group were (20.56 ± 1.23), (15.57 ± 1.62), (13.95 ± 1. 85), (14.62 ± 6.81), (31.65 ± 1.95) , (96.52 ± 1.28) points, and the score of control group were (19.74±1.36), (13.67±3.82), (12.66±1.03), (12.26±2.29), (29.56±1.76), (90.36± 1.94) points. Compliance of two group was improved, and experimental group much better ( t=3.53-5.82, all P<0.05). The fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2h blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, triacylglycerol and total cholesterol of experimental group were (5.52±1.32) mmol/L, (7.69±3.62) mmol/L, (6.22±4.21)%, (1.42±1.28) mmol/Land (4.36±1.27) mmol/L, and those of control group were (6.56±1.23) mmol/L, (8.78±5.42) mmol/L, (7.12±4.29)%, (1.78±1.49) mmol/L and (4.71±2.14) mmol/L. Metabolism of two group was improved, and experimental group much better (t=4.93-6.78, all P<0.05). Conclusions Standardized diabetes self-management education is better than traditional management. It is worthy of clinical application.
