Effect of health education on diabetics with role lack / 中华健康管理学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To improve self-management of diabetics with role lack.Methods A total of 121 diabetics with role lack were enrolled and received mass education and individual counseling.Serum levels of glucose and lipid profiles and body mass index (BMI) were assessed and compared before and after intervention by using paired t test.Results Knowledge on diabetes ( 79.37 ± 12.45 vs 31.69 ± 9.36,t =2.860,P ＜ 0.05) and self-management skills ( 9.21 ± 2.85 vs 4.43 ± 1.72,t =2.812,P ＜ 0.05 ) were significantly improved after receiving health education,although fasting plasma glucose [ ( 6.3 ± 1.8 ) vs (8.1 ±2.1) mmol/L,t =2.736,P ＜0.05],2-h postprandial blood glucose [(8.1 ±3.7) vs (12.8 ±4.1)mmol/L,t =3.549,P ＜ 0.05 ],glycosylated hemoglobin Alc [ (6.4 ± 2.5 ) ％ vs (7.1 ± 2.7 ) ％,t =2.603,P ＜ 0.05 ],total cholesterol [ ( 5.2 ± 2.3 ) vs ( 6.3 ± 2.4 ) mmol/L,t =2.036,P ＜ 0.05 ],triglyceride [(1.7±0.7) vs (2.4±0.8) mmol/L,t=2.368,P＜0.05] and BMI [(25.6±6.2) vs (27.3±6.5)kg/m2,t =2.546,P ＜ 0.05 ] were largely decreased.Conclusion Health education could improve selfmanagement and cure of diabetic patient with role lack.
