Arslan ZC, Tuzun S, Öner C, Haciağaoğlu N, Çetin H, Şimşek EE. Effect of structured individual and combined education on blood glucose regulation in type 2 diabetes mellitus. HEALTH EDUCATION RESEARCH 2024:cyae029. [PMID: 39298325 DOI: 10.1093/her/cyae029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 09/21/2024]
Abstract
Although various approaches have been used in diabetes self-management education (DSME) programs, the effect of DSME programs on glycemic control is controversial. This study aimed to compare the effects of structured individual education and combined education on glycemic regulation in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study included T2DM patients who applied to the Ust Kaynarca Diabetes Center between 1 January 2018 and 11 March 2020. All data were retrospectively evaluated from hospital information systems. Patients who received only individual education were defined as the individual education group (IEG), and patients who received both individual and group education were defined as the combined education group (CEG). A total of 496 T2DM patients, with 248 (50.0%) in the IEG and 248 (50.0%) in the CEG, were included in the study. The change in HbA1c (ΔHbA1c) value for the IEG was 1.0% (2.5%), while the ΔHbA1c value for the CEG was 1.9% (2.8%) (P < 0.001). When factors affecting the glycemic control were evaluated, it was determined that the type of education [odds ratio (OR) = 2.295, P < 0.001], gender (OR = 1.799, P = 0.007), presence of hyperlipidemia (OR = 0.559, P = 0.032) and presence of medications added to treatment (OR = 1.558, P = 0.041) were effective on glycemic control. Combined education, in which individual and group education are conducted together, is more effective than individual education in glucose regulation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nutrition is a cornerstone of diabetes mellitus prevention and management; therefore, it is essential to enable patients to adopt healthy eating habits. Previous studies have not yet documented the main errors in the eating habits of Portuguese people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aims to identify the main errors in the eating habits of people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Portugal and to evaluate its associations with sociodemographic variables. METHODS Cross-sectional multicentric study in a convenience sample of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Primary Health Care Units. The UK Diabetes and Diet Questionnaire (UKDDQ) - translated and adapted, was applied from July to October 2022. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were conducted. RESULTS Of the 550 participants, 52.2% were female, 68.3% were 65 years or over, 55.8 % had an education level up to the fourth grade, 24.7% had economic deprivation, and the mean time since diagnosis was 10.60 ± 8.13 years. Only 36.2% of the sample had a healthy UKDDQ score. Less than 50% of the sample had healthy scores for the items "high-fiber rice or pasta", "high-fiber bread", "butter, margarine and vegetable oils" and "vegetables and pulses". Only 8.9% of the sample had a healthy consumption of fiber. About 70.4% reported healthy scores for the consumption of "high-added-sugar foods" and 54.7% for "high-saturated fat". A statistically significant weak positive correlation was found between the UKDDQ score and age (ρ = 0.201, p < 0.001) with a more frequent choice of healthy foods with increasing age. Female respondents reported healthier habits, particularly in the consumption of "high-saturated fat" and "high-fiber foods". CONCLUSION The majority of our sample did not take advantage of the potential benefits of healthy eating habits. The main food groups whose consumption should be emphasized or discouraged were individualized, particularly the need to encourage the consumption of high-fiber foods. Targeted educational actions must focus especially on younger and/or male patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Little is known about cancer survivors’ perceptions of the prognostic impact of physical activity (PA) and the association between perceptions and PA. Therefore, the present narrative review aimed to identify cancer survivors' perceptions of the prognostic impact of PA, perception barriers, and association with PA.
Methods
A literature search was performed via PubMed and Scopus with search terms including “physical activity”, “cancer survivor”, and “perception” in November 2022. Inclusion criteria were studies that investigated cancer survivors’ perceptions of the prognostic impact of PA written in English. Studies were excluded for patients undergoing cancer treatment or advanced cancer patients only.
Results
Our search identified a total of 13,080 articles, and 14 studies met the inclusion criteria. The study sample size ranged from 8 to 1003 participants. Most studies showed that cancer survivors poorly understood the prognostic impact of PA. Perception barriers were cited as a lack of advice from health care professionals (HCPs). Several studies reported a positive association between the perception of the prognostic impact of PA and actual PA.
Conclusions
This narrative review revealed that most reports showed that cancer survivors have a poor perception of the prognostic impact of PA. In addition, the lack of advice from HCPs may also be contributing to the lack of perception among cancer survivors. Therefore, to increase the amount of PA among cancer survivors, it is necessary to improve the perception of the prognostic impact of PA in both cancer survivors and HCPs.

Abstract
Diabetes is a global public health challenge, exerting a large socioeconomic burden on healthcare systems. This study aimed to explore Diabetes prevalence and Diabetes medication use in diabetics regarding sex, age group, Physical Activity Level (PAL) and Body Mass Index (BMI) by studying possible differences and calculating the risks of developing Diabetes and Diabetes medication use in the population according to their PAL. A cross-sectional study was conducted using data extracted from the Spanish National Health Survey (ENSE2017). The sample was finally composed of 17,710 participants. A descriptive analysis was performed to characterise Diabetes prevalence and Diabetes medication use (Chi-square test and a z-test for independent proportions). Odds Ratios (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) were calculated for Diabetes prevalence and Diabetes medication use according to the participants’ PAL. Both the Diabetes and Diabetes medication use was higher in men than in women, increasing with age and BMI, and decreasing with increasing PAL (p < 0.001). Higher prevalence levels were observed in the inactive group versus very active or active people (p < 0.001). Inactive people had a higher risk of Diabetes and use of Diabetes medication risk compared to the very active and active groups. Prevalence decreased the higher the PAL both in men and women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Family plays a role in managing risk factors for diabetes mellitus (DM) in family members. The family can use diet and activity management as a form of prevention of risk factors and care for family members diagnosed with type 2 DM to keep it from getting to the level of severity.
AIM: The study aims to analyze Social Support Management of Diabetes (SoSMeD) for glucose control of type 2 DM patients.
METHODS: The study used a quasi-experiment pre-post-test with a control group design. The SoSMeD intervention was conducted for 3 months. The samples were taken by a random sampling technique of 50 respondents in each group. The measurement tool checks for glucose during the GDA-test 3 times, analyzed using a paired t-test.
RESULTS: The results show significant differences between the intervention and control groups after being given SoSMeD in carrying out glucose control for patients with type 2 DM (p = 0.001).
CONCLUSION: SoSMeD interventions provide type 2 DM sufferers with glucose control. Based on the findings, it is recommended that nurses should provide proper nursing interventions by involving families in diabetes management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetes self-management educational (DSME) interventions can vary considerably, and it is unclear what is the operational conceptualization of the ideal delivery to individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). DESIGN From a search conducted concurrently we extracted and evaluated the 50 most recently published DSME intervention studies. Based on an analysis of these studies, we undertook a concept analysis using the Walker and Avant framework. RESULTS Five attributes describing the concept were recognized and organized into two groups. Group (a): skills related attributes that included (1) decision making, (2) problem solving and (3) taking action. Group (b): information related attributes that included (4) patient-provider interaction and (5) resource utilization. CONCLUSIONS The outcomes of this study make the operational conceptualization of the ideal DSME intervention measurable through its attributes and hence clarifies its delivery. This will improve the implementation of the key attributes in diabetes self-management intervention programs for T2D.

Abstract
AIMS Adopting effective self-care behaviors is essential in maintaining optimal glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of health literacy-based, health belief-constructed education and counseling on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in people with type 2 diabetes. METHODS The parallel-group, randomized controlled study was conducted between June 2019 and March 2020. One hundred and twenty patients were randomized to receive either 12-week health literacy-based group education and phone counseling (intervention, 60 patients) or routine diabetic care (control, 60 patients). The study was completed with 107 patients (54 intervention, 53 control). HbA1c (primary outcome), self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility, severity, barriers, and benefits (secondary outcomes) were evaluated at baseline and six months. RESULTS Both groups had decreases in HbA1c. There was no significant decrease in HbA1c between the intervention and control groups. However, there was a significant improvement in self-efficacy, change in perceived susceptibility, perceived barriers, and perceived benefits in the intervention group. This effect was the same for all patients in the high and low health literacy intervention groups. CONCLUSIONS Education and counseling based on health literacy levels and framed with health belief constructs change health beliefs, predicting higher engagement and efficacy in disease management activities.

Abstract
AIMS Attributes that operationally conceptualize diabetes self-management education (DSME) interventions have never been studied previously to assess their impact on relevant outcomes of interest in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim of this study was to determine the impact of existing interventions classified by their delivery of skills or information related attributes on immediate (knowledge), intermediate (physical activity), post-intermediate (HbA1c), and long-term (quality of life) outcomes in people with T2D. METHODS PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Library/Cochrane CENTRAL as well as the grey literature were searched to identify interventional studies that examined the impact of DSME interventions on the four different outcomes. Eligible studies were selected and appraised independently by two reviewers. A meta-regression analysis was performed to determine the impact of delivery of the skills- and information-related attributes on the chosen outcomes. RESULTS 142 studies (n = 25,511 participants) provided data, of which 39 studies (n = 5278) reported on knowledge, 39 studies (n = 8323) on physical activity, 99 studies (n = 17,178) on HbA1c and 24 studies (n = 5147) on quality of life outcomes. Meta-regression analyses demonstrated that skills-related attributes had an estimated effect suggesting improvement in knowledge (SMD [standardized mean difference] increase of 0.80; P = 0.025) and that information-related attributes had an estimated effect suggesting improvement in quality of life (SMD increase of 0.96; P = 0.405). Skill- and information-related attributes did not have an estimated effect suggesting improvement in physical activity or in HbA1c. CONCLUSIONS The study findings demonstrate that the skills and information related attributes contribute to different outcomes for people with T2D. This study provides, for the first time, preliminary evidence for differential association of the individual DSME attributes with different levels of outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Simplified Diabetes Nutrition Education (SDNE) on glycemic control and other diabetes-related outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS This a randomized controlled trial (RCT) randomized 208 patients with T2DM [mean age = 48.8 ± 11.8 years, Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) = 9.5 ± 2.4%, and Body Mass Index = 28.0 ± 5.6 kg/m2] to intervention group (n = 104) or control group (n = 104). Participants in the intervention group received a weekly diabetes nutrition module based on the health belief model for 12 weeks in addition to the usual care whereas the control participants were given the usual care. We evaluated HbA1c and diabetes-related outcomes (metabolic parameters, dietary intake, and physical activity level) at baseline, 12 weeks, and 22 weeks. Health beliefs, diabetes knowledge, and health literacy were also evaluated. RESULTS After 22 weeks, HbA1c improved significantly in the intervention group (-1.7%) from the baseline value, compared to the control group (+0.01%) (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the intervention group also showed better improvement in metabolic parameters than the control group (p < 0.05). Besides, dietary intake and physical activity levels improved significantly among the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Likewise, health beliefs, diabetes knowledge, and health literacy also improved significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION SDNE improves glycemic control and other diabetes-related outcomes among the intervention group compared to the control group. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov with ID: NCT04433598.

Abstract
Objectives Self-management education (SME) is recognized globally as a tool that enables patients to achieve optimal glucose control. While factors influencing the effectiveness of self-management interventions have been studied extensively, the impact of program length on clinical endpoints of patients diagnosed with diabetes is underdeveloped. This paper synthesized information from the existing literature to understand the effect of program length on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods We searched Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify relevant English language publications on diabetes self-management education published between January 2000 and April 2019. Results The review included 25 randomized controlled trials, with 64.0% reporting significant changes in HbA1C. The studies classified as long-term (lasting one year and above) were associated with the greatest number of interventions achieving statistically significant (87.5% significant vs. 12.5% non-significant) differences in changes in HbA1C between the intervention and the control subjects, recording an overall between-group HbA1C mean difference of 0.6±0.3% (range = 0.2–1.2). Conclusions Our findings suggest that program length may change the effectiveness of educational interventions. Achieving sustained improvements in patients’ HbA1C levels will require long-term, ongoing SME, and support.

Abstract
Immigrants show higher adjusted diabetes prevalence than Italians, especially among South-East Asians followed by North and Sub-Saharan Africans. Diabetes progression is influenced by food behaviors, and diet control is a critical aspect in disease management. Food habits have many cultural and symbolic implications. Guidelines recommend that every patient should receive appropriate self-management education according to cultural and socioeconomic characteristics. This study aims to test whether a customized diet and transcultural mediator’s support can improve immigrants’ food habits. A pre-post quali-quantitative study was conducted among 20–79-year-old Bangladeshi and North African diabetic immigrants. The INMP transcultural mediator, an expert in the social and health care field, actively participates in clinical activity by decoding linguistic and cultural needs expressed by the foreigner patient. Five culturally tailored dietary profiles were designed according to international diabetes guidelines and adjusted to traditional food habits. Data were collected with two different semi-structured questionnaires. Changes in food consumption were assessed through McNemar’s test, while paired Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test was used to analyze pre and post intervention. Fifty-five patients were enrolled. At follow-up, cereals, meat, and potatoes intake significantly improved, and the number of adequate dietary habits for each patient increased significantly. Transcultural mediator support was 90% positively evaluated. Adherence to dietary control is favorably influenced by a transcultural intervention, which is based on clinical and socio-cultural criteria, in compliance with patient’s lifestyles.

Abstract
Introduction: Various efforts have been made to improve the self-care management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). One of them is by using a Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSME/S) program. DSME/S produces positive effects in relation to patient behavior and health status. This is a systematic review of randomized controlled trials published where the aim was to evaluate the impact of the DSME/S program in term of biological. psychological and social aspects.Methods: The articles were searched for using the PRISMA approach from within Scopus, Sage Journal, ProQuest, Google Scholar and PubMed to identify the relevant English publications on DSME over the last 5 years (2013-2018). In total, 15 studies met the inclusion criteria.Results: The articles included at least one result that covered the biological, psychological, and social aspects that are more general and relevant for T2DM patients who received the DSME program. DSME had a positive impact on T2DM, namely the reduction of HbA1c, blood glucose, LDL, cholesterol, blood pressure, weight, waist circumference, decreased distress, anxiety and increased self-efficacy and self-empowerment.Conclusion: It can increase the social and family support, improve self-management motivation, increase knowledge and improve the behavior of T2DM patients. The findings of our review showed that DSME has a positive impact on the biological, psychological and social aspects of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus is a serious and lifelong condition commonly characterised by abnormally elevated blood glucose levels due to a failure in insulin production or a decrease in insulin sensitivity and function. Over the years, prevalence of diabetes has increased globally and it is classified as one of the leading cause of high mortality and morbidity rate. Furthermore, diabetes confers a huge economic burden due to its management costs as well as its complications are skyrocketing. The conventional medications in diabetes treatment focusing on insulin secretion and insulin sensitisation cause unwanted side effects to patients and lead to incompliance as well as treatment failure. Besides insulin and oral hypoglycaemic agents, other treatments such as gene therapy and induced β-cells regeneration have not been widely introduced to manage diabetes. Therefore, this review aims to deliver an overview of the current conventional medications in diabetes, discovery of newer pharmacological drugs and gene therapy as a potential intervention of diabetes in the future.
