Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of dietary and exercise self-management support program on the dietary behavior, exercise behavior, and clinical outcomes of Muslim patients with poorly controlled type 2 DM in Indonesia. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental, two group, pre-test and post-test design. The experimental group received the dietary and exercise self-management support program and usual care, whereas the control group only received the usual nursing care.Result: 35 subjects in the experimental group and 35 subjects in the control group completed the program, respectively. The findings indicated that there are significantly differences in dietary behavior (p=.00), exercise behavior (p=.00) and clinical outcomes: fasting blood glucose (FBG) (p=.00), cholesterol total level (p=.01) and systolic blood pressure (p=.00) between the experimental group and control group. However, for the BMI status (p=.84) and diastolic blood pressure (BP) (p=.32) were no significant differences between two groups. Conclusion: The dietary and exercise self-management support program was effective for improving the dietary behavior, exercise behavior, FBG, and total cholesterol level for individuals with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus. Further studies should be replicated using larger groups over a longer time frame.

Elderly people with poorly controlled type 2 DM often develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) as a major complication. Prevention can be managed by the action of preventing cardiovascular complication behaviors (PCCB) which consist of a DM and healthy heart diet, physical exercise, taking medication regularly, and ceasing smoking. The cardiovascular self-management support program (CSSP) facilitates successful and improved PCCB and clinical outcomes in the elderly with poorly controlled type 2 DM. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to find out the effectiveness of CSSP on PCCB and clinical outcomes in elderly with poorly controlled type 2 DM. Fifty-nine elders with poorly controlled type 2 DM were randomly recruited and divided into an experimental and a control group. Of these, 30 participants in the experimental group received the CSSP and the usual care whereas the control group only received the usual care. PCCB was measured by the prevention of cardiovascular complication behaviors questionnaire (PCCBQ), while clinical outcomes were measured by clinical devices provided by the Public Health Center. An independent t-test was conducted to determine the effect of the program between groups and a paired t-test was used to report the effect of the program within the group. The results showed that the mean score of the PCCB in the experimental group was significantly higher than those in the control group after participating in the program (p < .05) and improved the mean scores of the clinical outcomes except for the diastolic blood pressure (p > .05). The CSSP in this study clearly indicates positive effects on improving the PCCB and some clinical outcomes in the elderly with poorly controlled type 2 DM.

Abstract Background/Purpose: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasingly becoming common in developing countries including Thailand. Uncontrolled hyperglycemia can lead to progression of severe complications for persons with DM which include diabetic nephropathy and can, later on, lead to kidney failure. Self-management support and participation of social groups, specifically the family of the patient, can help people with DM in controlling the complications of their disease from progressing; in this case, the advancement of diabetic nephropathy. The aim of this research is to develop a program and determine if self-management support with the participation of the family members will have an effect in delaying the progress of diabetic nephropathy in adults with type 2 DM. Theoretical Framework: Self-management based on social cognitive and self-regulation theories were used in this study to set a framework which utilizes social support from the family and self-efficacy of patients in implementing self-management activities. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental research. The sample consisted of 50 Thai adults with type 2 DM, 25 for the control group and 25 for the experimental group. The participants in the experimental group attended a self-management support and family participation enhancing the program for 8 weeks. The interventions included a video presentation, manual, and health education with a family member in a focus group. Data were collected before attending the program and evaluated on the 8th and 12 weeks after the program. The instruments used for the data collection were (1) Self-Management Activity Questionnaire (SMAQ), (2) Self- Efficacy Questionnaire (SEQ). The data collected for clinical outcome used the automatic physiological measures: Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure, Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), serum creatinine (SCr) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).  Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Independent t-test and Paired t-test and repeated measurement ANOVA. Results: The mean scores of the self-management activity and self-efficacy of the experimental group were significantly higher, their clinical outcomes for blood pressure, SCr and HbA1C levels were significantly lower, and eGFR results were significantly higher after attending the self-management support and family participation enhancing the program. Conclusions and Implications: The findings of this study indicate that the self-management and family participation enhancing program promote and support health behavior change and leads to better control of the delayed progression of diabetic nephropathy in Thai adults with type 2 DM. This can be applied by health care professionals in health care centers as a supplement to their usual care in dealing with persons with type 2 DM.

Purpose: To determine the impact that a high-fiber, low-fat diet, derived from mostly plant-based sources, when coupled with support has upon self-management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Latinos from medically underserved areas (MUAs). Design: Experimental randomized controlled community pilot study. Setting: Three community clinics in MUAs located within San Bernardino County, California. Participants: Thirty-two randomly assigned Latinos with A1C greater than 6.4: 15 control and 17 experimental. Intervention: Participants completed a 5-week education program. Researchers provided follow-up support for 17 randomly assigned experimental group participants through focus groups held at participating clinics—1, 3, and 6 months posteducation. Measures: Changes in fat and fiber consumption were measured using a modified Dietary Screener for Mexican Americans. Self-management was measured through the Self-Efficacy for Exercise Scale and Diabetes Quality of Life Measure. Analysis: Baseline characteristics for both groups were analyzed using independent t tests and χ2 tests. A 2-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to analyze biometric data between baseline and 6 months for both groups. Results: Mean A1C levels decreased from baseline to 6 months for both groups: control, μ1 = 9.57, μ2 = 9.49; experimental, μ1 = 8.53, μ2 = 7.31. Conclusion: The experimental group demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in mean A1C levels ( P = .002) when compared to the control group.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to test effects of a culturally competent, dietary self-management intervention on physiological outcomes and dietary behaviors for African Americans with type 2 diabetes. Methods A longitudinal experimental study was conducted in rural South Carolina with a sample of 97 adult African Americans with type 2 diabetes who were randomly assigned to either usual care or the intervention. The intervention consisted of 4 weekly classes in low-fat dietary strategies, 5 monthly peer-professional group discussions, and weekly telephone follow-up. The culturally competent approach reflected the ethnic beliefs, values, customs, food preferences, language, learning methods, and health care practices of southern African Americans. Results Body mass index and dietary fat behaviors were significantly lowered in the experimental group. At 6 months, weight decreased 1.8 kg (4 lb) for the experimental group and increased 1.9 kg (4.2 lb) for the control group, a net difference of 3.7 kg (8.2 lb). The experimental group reduced high-fat dietary habits to moderate while high-fat dietary habits of the control group remained essentially unchanged. A trend in reduction of A1C and lipids was observed. Conclusions Results suggest the effectiveness of a culturally competent dietary self-management intervention in improving health outcomes for southern African Americans, especially those at risk due to high-fat diets and body mass index ≥ 35 kg/mm2. Given the burgeoning problem of obesity in South Carolina and the nation, the time has come to focus on aggressive weight management. Diabetes educators are in pivotal positions to assume leadership in achieving this goal for vulnerable, rural populations.

BACKGROUND There are over 2 million newly diagnosed patients with breast cancer worldwide with more than 10,000 cases in Taiwan each year. During 2017-2018, the National Yang-Ming University, the Taiwan University of Science and Technology, and the Taiwan Breast Cancer Prevention Foundation collaborated to develop a breast cancer self-management support (BCSMS) mHealth app for Taiwanese women with breast cancer. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the quality of life (QoL) of women with breast cancer in Taiwan after using the BCSMS app. METHODS After receiving a first diagnosis of breast cancer, women with stage 0 to III breast cancer, who were recruited from social networking sites or referred by their oncologists or oncology case managers, were randomized 1:1 into intervention and control groups. Intervention group subjects used the BCSMS app and the control group subjects received usual care. Two questionnaires—the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality-of-Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and the EORTC Breast Cancer-Specific Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (QLQ-BR23)—were distributed to subjects in both arms. Paper-based questionnaires were used at baseline; paper-based or Web-based questionnaires were used at 1.5-month and 3-month follow-up evaluations. All evaluations were self-assessed and anonymous, and participants were blinded to their allocation groups. Descriptive analysis, the Pearson chi-square test, analysis of variance, and the generalized estimating equation were used to analyze the data. Missing values, with and without multi-imputation techniques, were used for sensitivity analysis. RESULTS A total of 112 women were enrolled and randomly allocated to either the experimental group (n=53) or control group (n=59). The follow-up completion rate was 89.3% (100/112). The demographic data showed homogeneity between the two groups in age (range 50-64 years), breast cancer stage (stage II), marital status (married), working status (employed), and treatment status (receiving treatments). The mean total QoL summary scores from the QLQ-C30 (83.45 vs 82.23, <i>P</i>=.03) and the QLQ-BR23 (65.53 vs 63.13, <i>P</i>=.04) were significantly higher among the experimental group versus the control group, respectively, at 3 months. CONCLUSIONS This research provides support for using a mobile health care app to promote the QoL among women in Taiwan after a first diagnosis of breast cancer. The BCSMS app could be used to support disease self-management, and further evaluation of whether QoL is sustained is warranted.

Background:Research found that caregivers of relatives with dementia(RWD)were more vulnerable to chronic diseases than those caring for relatives with other diseases. Unfamiliarity with and/or difficulty in balancing their own health needs was common among the caregivers, from the findings of our previous studies and relevant literatures. Therefore, an educational and psycho-social support program named Chronic Disease Self-Management Support (CD-SMS) program was developed for spouse caregivers of RWD in Shanghai, China.Research Objective:This study was to examine the effectiveness of the CD-SMS program on spouse caregivers’ health-related results, including caregiving self-efficacy, self-efficacy for chronic condition management, and their health behavior.Method:This study was a randomised, wait-list controlled design. A total of 53 participants with common chronic conditions were recruited and assigned to experimental (n = 25) and waiting-list control group (n=28) by stratified randomization. All participants received an illustrated psychoeducation booklet. The intervention group received six bio-weekly support group sessions, and the control group will receive the same support group sessions after the posttest. Participants in both groups received baseline and post-test assessments. The caregivers were assessed with the Chinese versions of Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-item Scale, Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Chinese Family Caregivers and Self-Management Behaviors Scale. The care recipients were measured with the Chinese version of Disability Assessment in Dementia.Preliminary results of the ongoing study:A significant interaction between time and group was found in total scores of self-efficacy for managing chronic disease and caregiving self-efficacy for gathering information (P<0.05). After intervention, caregivers in experimental group reported significant improvements in the total scores of self-efficacy for managing chronic disease, caregiving self-efficacy, and three self-management behaviors (stretching and strengthening exercise, cognitive symptom management, and communication with physicians). The care recipients’ levels of activities of daily living in each group were worse at posttest compared to those at baseline (P<0.01).Conclusion:The findings indicated that the CD-SMS program was effective in improving the caregivers’ confidence in balancing their caregiving management and their chronic health conditions management, and their main health behaviors were also improved.

Introduction: The benefits of Diabetic Camp as known can be applied to promote knowledge and self management among diabetes people. Nevertheless, empirical data of its effect on diabetes self-efficacy are still limited, especially on middle aged and elderly people with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Objectives: The purpose of this intervention study was to investigate the change of self-efficacy among middle-aged and elderly people living with type 2 DM after attending camp. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was used. Eighty-four participants were recruited form two public health center in Bukittnggi City West Sumatra Indonesia were randomly assigned into either the experimental group (n=42) or control group (n=42) by matching technique based on gender , age, and duration of illness. The experimental group participated in diabetic camp for two days continuing with weekly follow up for over 1 month while those in the control group participated in routine activities. Outcome was measured by using Self-efficacy Questionnaire for Diabetes at the first day before receiving the intervention as pretest data, and on the four weeks after the intervention was completed as the posttest data. The reliability of the Self-efficacy Questionnaire for Diabetes with Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.81. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed to analyze the data. Results: Mean of self-efficacy score in the experimental group after receiving the intervention was significantly higher than those in the control group (t =4.27; p&lt;0.05). The mean of self-efficacy score after receiving the intervention in the experimental group was increased significantly from before receiving the intervention (t = 8.15; p&lt;0.05). Conclusions: The results showed that Diabetic camp was effective in promoting self-efficacy of middle-aged and elderly people with type 2 DM. Thus, this diabetes care program can be recommended for practice

Background: More than 4.2 million cases of diabetes mellitus (DM) were reported in Thailand during 2019. Medication adherence is necessary to delay disease progression and prevent complications among uncontrolled type 2 DM patients. The objective of this research was to study how education via the Line application and telephone-based counseling impacted medication adherence knowledge by analyzing the behavior of uncontrolled type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: Uncontrolled type 2 DM patients in Doi Saket Hospital, Doi Saket district, Chiang Mai province, Thailand. were included in the study. The sample was divided into an experimental (n=30) and control group (n=30). Patients who met the inclusion criteria of having uncontrolled type 2 diabetes diagnosed by a physician for at least one year, capable of communicating in Thai, possessing a mobile phone with the Line application and able to partake in activities for eight weeks were recruited in the parallel-group randomized trial. The experimental group participated in the developed education program, while the control group received standard routine health education activities provided by their health care providers. The intervention was based on the 5Rs principle as right medicine, right dose, right route, right patient and right time and included activities via the Line application and telephone-based counseling. Participants were evaluated for their medication adherence knowledge and behavior. Results: After eight weeks of education through the Line application and telephone-based counseling, posttest mean scores of medication adherence knowledge of the experimental and control groups were 18.03 (SD=0.28) and 12.37 (SD=0.62), while posttest mean scores of medication adherence behavior of the experimental and control groups were 49.28 (SD=3.77) and 33.84 (SD=3.81), respectively. Results revealed that the experimental group had statistically significant (P<0.01) higher medication adherence knowledge and behavior mean scores. Conclusion: Education using the Line application and telephone-based counseling program improved medication adherence knowledge and behavior among uncontrolled type 2 DM patients. Other outcomes of social media interactions such as patient engagement, patient behavior and attitudes, and the efficacy of patient-health care provider communication levels are possible areas for future study.
