Abstract
BACKGROUND The Self- and Family Management Framework (SFMF) identifies factors and outcomes of patient and family management of chronic illness. In a previous citation analysis, we reported the frequency and nature of use of the SFMF. PURPOSE We conducted a sub-analysis of quantitative articles in the citation analysis to examine testing of relationships depicted in the SFMF. METHODS We analyzed study purposes, independent and dependent variables, study implications, and text that referred to the SFMF in 40 articles. FINDINGS The SFMF has been used largely to explore factors affecting SFM behaviors, focusing on patient versus family self-management. Independent variables included all categories of facilitators/barriers specified in the SFMF. Dependent variables included all SFMF components (Facilitators/Barriers, Processes, Proximal and Distal Outcomes). Racial/ethnic diversity was limited among study participants. Study implications pertained mostly to psychosocial outcomes. Most studies referred to the SFMF generally. DISCUSSION Findings will contribute to revision of the SFMF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Self- and Family Management Framework (SFMF) was created in 2006 and revised in 2015 to guide research on self- and family management of chronic conditions. There has been no review of use of the SFMF. PURPOSE We reviewed articles citing the SFMF to identify the frequency and nature of use. METHOD We conducted a citation analysis, searching Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases and extracted key data from identified articles. FINDINGS Of 126 articles, 84(66%) cited the 2006 SFMF, 37(29%) cited the 2015 SFMF, and 6(5%) cited both. The SFMF was used most to inform study design. Users noted strengths (e.g., considers family context) and limitations (e.g., non-specification of patient- family caregiver synergies) of the framework. DISCUSSION The SFMF has been used broadly to guide research on self- and family management of chronic conditions. Findings will inform development of a third version of the SFMF.

The effect of a smartphone-based coronary heart disease prevention (SBCHDP) programme on awareness and knowledge of CHD, stress, and cardiac-related lifestyle behaviours among the working population in Singapore: a pilot randomised controlled trial. Health Qual Life Outcomes 2017; 15:49. [PMID: 28288636 PMCID: PMC5348869 DOI: 10.1186/s12955-017-0623-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2016] [Accepted: 03/03/2017] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most prevalent type of cardiac disease among adults worldwide, including those in Singapore. Most of its risk factors, such as smoking, physical inactivity and high blood pressure, are preventable. mHealth has improved in the last decade, showing promising results in chronic disease prevention and health promotion worldwide. Our aim was to develop and examine the effect of a 4-week Smartphone-Based Coronary Heart Disease Prevention (SBCHDP) programme in improving awareness and knowledge of CHD, perceived stress as well as cardiac-related lifestyle behaviours in the working population of Singapore. Methods The smartphone app “Care4Heart” was developed as the main component of the programme. App content was reviewed and validated by a panel of experts, including two cardiologists and two experienced cardiology-trained nurses. A pilot randomised controlled trial was conducted. Eighty working people were recruited and randomised to either the intervention group (n = 40) or the control group (n = 40). The intervention group underwent a 4-week SBCHDP programme, whereas the control group were offered health promotion websites only. The participants’ CHD knowledge, perceived stress and behavioural risk factors were measured at baseline and on the 4th week using the Heart Disease Fact Questionnaire-2, Perceived Stress Scale, and Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System. Results After the SBCHDP programme, participants in the intervention group had a better awareness of CHD being the second leading cause of death in Singapore (X2
= 6.486, p = 0.039), a better overall CHD knowledge level (t = 3.171, p = 0.002), and better behaviour concerning blood cholesterol control (X2 = 4.54, p = 0.033) than participants in the control group. Conclusion This pilot study partially confirmed the positive effects of the SBCHDP programme in improving awareness and knowledge of CHD among the working population. Due to the small sample size and short follow-up period, this study was underpowered to detect significant differences between groups. A full-scale longitudinal study is required in the future to confirm the effectiveness of the SBCHDP programme.

Abstract
AIM To develop a mHealth programme, entitled 'Care4Heart' for the working population in Singapore and thereafter examine its feasibility and effectiveness in increasing the awareness and knowledge of coronary heart disease and improving their heart-related lifestyle. BACKGROUND Teaching and encouraging the working population to adopt a healthier lifestyle could result in preventing and/or decreasing the incidence of coronary heart disease among this population. The use of mobile application (app) is the next logical wave of healthcare support tools to prevent and manage chronic diseases like coronary heart disease. DESIGN A quasi-experimental longitudinal study design. METHODS The study will be conducted in a tertiary university in Singapore. A non-probability, quota sampling of 200 participants will be recruited including 100 academic and research staff, 50 administrative staff and 50 support staff and business owners. Once consent is obtained, the newly developed mobile app will be installed onto the participants' smartphones and a well-trained research assistant will brief the participant on the use of the app. The main outcomes will be measured using the survey questionnaires: Awareness of coronary heart disease, Heart Disease Fact Questionnaire-2, Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System and Perceived Stress Scale. Data will be collected at baseline and at the 4th week and 6th month thereafter. DISCUSSION If this project is successful, Care4Heart - a mHealth and novel prevention educational programme for the working population in Singapore - can be used to promote knowledge and positive heart-related lifestyle changes to prevent coronary heart disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), including insulin resistance/hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, are often present in varying combinations in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Patients with a clustering of these risk factors, termed the metabolic syndrome, are at greater risk for CVD than are patients with only a single risk factor. Although glycemic control is the central feature of type 2 DM management, patients require an individualized approach to therapy that takes their other CVD risk factors into account. OBJECTIVE This review examined the effects of antidiabetes therapy on glycemic control, as well as its potential to affect body weight, serum lipids, and blood pressure (BP), and thus CVD risk. METHODS Information was obtained by searching the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from 1995 through March 2010. The search terms included type 2 DM, metabolic syndrome, CV complications of type 2 DM, and therapy for type 2 DM. Articles that described relevant details of the metabolic syndrome, CV complications of type 2 DM, and effects of antidiabetes therapy on glycosylated hemoglobin, body weight, serum lipids, and BP were selected for in-depth review. Only English language publications were reviewed. Clinical trials, meta-analyses, and review articles on the key words were preferentially selected for review and analysis. Non-English language publications, case reports, letters to the editor, and similar types of publications were excluded. RESULTS Although all approved antidiabetes agents lowered glucose, their effect on other CV risk factors, such as BP, lipids, and weight, differed significantly. Therapy with insulin, the sulfonylureas, and the thiazolidinediones was associated with weight gain. Metformin and the dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitors were generally considered weight neutral, whereas the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and amylin agonists were associated with weight loss. Metformin, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinedioness, and dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitors had modest effects on serum lipid levels and BP. The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists generally had beneficial effects on serum lipid levels and systolic and diastolic BP. CONCLUSION A wide variety of agents were available to aid glycemic control in patients with type 2 DM. These agents had variable effects on known CV risk factors that might be present in this patient population, including excess body weight, elevated BP, and increased serum lipids. Some of the newer agents improved glycemic control while also having potentially favorable effects on these CV risk factors. The impact of various agents on known CV risk factors should be considered when selecting a therapeutic regimen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess opinions and their determinants of patients with type 2 diabetes about responsibility for managing their diabetes, setting treatment targets and willingness taking medication. METHODS Questionnaire survey carried out in general practices and outpatient clinics across the Netherlands. OUTCOMES opinions about responsibility, targets and medication. Multinomial logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Data of 994 consecutive persons were analysed (mean age 65 years; 54% males). Of these 62% agreed to take responsibility for their diabetes. In the opinion of 89% the setting of targets should be by or in cooperation with their physician or nurse and 40% were willing to take tablets until all targets were attained. Patients who perceived dysfunction by barriers to activity did not agree to take responsibility (OR 3.68; 1.65-8.19). Patients with complications preferred to set targets in cooperation with their physician or nurse (OR 1.98; 1.03-3.80). Males were more willing to take tablets until all targets were attained (OR 1.62; 1.17-2.25). CONCLUSION Not all patients want to take responsibility for their diabetes or taking all necessary tablets, especially those with barriers to activity or complications. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Doctors and nurses should ask for patients' opinions about responsibility and treatment goals before starting education.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the effects of Sense of Coherence (SOC), emotional distress and treatment adherence on disease activity and functioning level of persons with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). One hundred persons with SLE, aged 18–60, participated in the study. They responded to the SOC scale, hospital anxiety and depression scale (emotional distress) and to questionnaires about adherence to treatment, level of functioning and disease activity. The results show a moderate level of disease activity and everyday functioning, as well as moderate levels of emotional distress. Income, emotional distress and adherence significantly predicted the levels of functioning ( p < 0.001), while income and emotional distress significantly predicted the levels of disease activity only ( p < 0.001). SOC was significantly associated with higher level of functioning ( p < 0.001) and lower disease activity ( p < 0.01), while emotional distress, but not treatment adherence, highly mediated these relationships. The results emphasize the associations of emotional distress and SOC with severity of the symptoms and level of functioning, and the associations between SOC and adherence to treatment. Further confirmation of the results with larger samples and longitudinal designs are warranted.

Abstract
AIMS Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes. Sex disparity in the treatment of modifiable CHD risk factors in patients with Type 2 diabetes has been reported previously; however, there is little comparable information in Type 1 diabetes. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis of 1153 subjects with Type 1 diabetes in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT/EDIC) cohort to compare achievement of metabolic and CHD risk factor goals and use of recommended risk factor interventions between the sexes. RESULTS Women were less likely than men to achieve glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)<7.0% [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 0.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.57-0.995] or<8.0% (AOR 0.74, 95% CI 0.58-0.95). Achievement of target lipid levels was not significantly different between the sexes. As in the non-diabetic population, men had higher blood pressure. Women were significantly less likely than men to report using aspirin (AOR 0.77, 0.60-0.99) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) (AOR 0.62, 0.49-0.80) and statins (AOR 0.56, 0.43-0.73), even after adjusting for blood pressure and lipid levels, respectively. Reported use of statins was also lower in women than men in the subset that developed a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level>3.4 mmol/l (39% vs. 60%, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS In Type 1 diabetes, women report lower frequency than men in the use of interventions that decrease CHD risk. These findings are consistent with reports in the Type 2 diabetic population, showing that risk-reducing measures are underused in women with diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of diet family support on glucose outcome in Korean immigrants with type 2 diabetes, taking into consideration patient gender. METHODS A total of 143 Korean immigrants with type 2 diabetes were recruited from a West Coast Koreatown. On completing questionnaires (demographic, health history, and the Diabetes Family Behavior Checklist-II [DFBC]), a participant was given a finger stick blood test for glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C). Body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were calculated after measurements were taken. Analyses assessed the independent associations of diet family support, gender, and diet family support by gender interactions with glucose outcome. RESULTS A higher level of diet family support was significantly associated with lower A1C, indicating the beneficial effect of diet family support on glucose control. Although the main effect of gender on A1C was not significant, the effect of the product term of family support and gender was, indicating that the significant beneficial impact of diet family support on A1C depends on gender. The impact is much more pronounced in men (B = -.516) than women (B = -.038). CONCLUSIONS Family support, specific to diet, is significantly associated with glucose outcomes in Korean immigrants with type 2 diabetes. That is, more perceived family support was associated with better glucose control. The positive impact of family support on glucose outcome was significantly stronger in men than in women, even after other factors were taken into consideration.

Abstract
Despite the rising incidence of type 2 diabetes in Korean immigrants, little is known about glucose control in these individuals. This descriptive study examined factors influencing glucose control in Korean immigrants with type 2 diabetes. Participants were 143 Korean immigrants with type 2 diabetes who completed questionnaires, a finger stick blood test for glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and anthropometric measures. The mean HbA1c level was 7.6 % (SD = 1.5; range = 5.6 to 12.5). Less than half of the participants (41.3%) met the American Diabetes Association's goal of less than 7%. After adjusting for demographic and health variables, family diet support, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), the duration of diabetes, the number of diabetic medications, and age significantly influenced glucose control. Findings support the positive role of family involvement in diabetes management. Patients with long-standing diabetes, higher WHR, and more diabetic medications deserve special attention because they tend to have higher HbA1c levels.
