Effect of Self-Regulated Learning for Improving Dietary Management and Quality of Life in Patients with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus at Dr. Ramelan Naval Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia

Self-regulated learning is a process of learning how to manage and regulate oneself to obtain skills and knowledge without depending on others. It is expected that diabetes patients can manage their diabetes by themselves. This study aimed to analyze the effect of self-regulated learning-based educational intervention on quality of life for patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM) at Dr. Ramelan Naval Hospital, Surabaya. This was a quasi-experimental study in the form of pretest and posttest with a control group design. A total of 20 patients with DM were randomly divided into intervention and control groups to undergo a 4-week intervention. The intervention group received dietary education with self-regulated learning, while the control group received standard education. The results revealed differences in variables such as dietary obedience, food intake at home, fasting blood sugar, diastolic blood pressure, and quality of life. The intervention group experienced a positive impact on the quality of life and resulted in better dietary obedience than that of the control group. In conclusion, the implementation of self-regulated learning-based dietary education can improve dietary obedience, knowledge, intention, family support, social support, physical activity, and quality of life for patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of glucose fluctuation targeted intervention on neurologic function, independent living skills, and quality of life in type 2 diabetes patients following the first episode of cerebral infarction (CI). Methods. This was a randomized control trial. Following confirmed cerebral infarction, 75 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized into 2 groups: control group (n=37) with usual care, focused on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) control, targeting A1c<7%, and intervention group (n=38), targeting both A1c<7%and daily glycemic fluctuation (largest amplitude of glycemic excursions (LAGE<80 mg/dL)). Results. After 6 months, data from 63 patients were analyzed (30 in the control group, 33 in the intervention group). There was no difference (P>0.05) in the reduction of A1c between the 2 groups, but the reductions of LAGE (P=0.030), 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) (P=0.023), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2hPG) (P=0.041), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) (P=0.046) were significantly different. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of the intervention group was better than the control group (2.35±0.81 vs. 3.50±2.24, P=0.047). In terms of quality of life, there was no significant between-group difference in total Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) score, but in the intervention group, scores in the strength, hand function, and participation dimensions were higher than those in the control group (P=0.041, P=0.049, and P=0.048, respectively). Conclusion. Glucose fluctuation targeted intervention can improve nerve function for patients with T2DM following the first CI episode. This trial is registered with NCT03932084.

Background: The prevalence of diabetes is on the rise, and the lack of regular self-care activities can exacerbate this disease. Therefore, finding effective and short-term treatments is needed for these patients. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of acceptance-based emotion regulation group therapy in controlling diabetes in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This experimental study included the three stages of pre-test, post-test, and six-month after follow-up, as well as a control group. The statistical sample consisted of 33 patients with type 2 diabetes referred to the Iranian Diabetes Association, of whom 16 patients were allocated to the intervention group and 17 to the control group. The study was conducted in Tehran in 2019 - 2020. Acceptance-based emotion regulation group therapy lasted 14 weeks, during which some aspects of acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical therapy, and emotion-focused treatment were combined and provided to the patients. The questionnaires used were the Summary of Diabetes Self-care activities (SDSCA) and Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life scale. Also, a structured DSM-V clinical interview was performed, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured. To analyze the data, mixed design ANOVA was run in SPSS version 21. Results: The findings revealed that the mean difference between pre-test and post-test in the experimental group was significant for the variables of HbA1c, quality of life, and self-care while the mean difference between the post-test and follow-up was not significant for HbA1c (P = 0.17) and quality of life (P = 0.27), indicating the stability of the therapeutic effect after six months of the intervention. Based on the present findings, acceptance-based emotion regulation group therapy led to a decrease in HbA1c and an increase in self-care and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes. Conclusions: Our results showed that acceptance-based emotion regulation group therapy improved self-care, quality of life, and HbA1c in type 2 diabetic patients, so it can be used as a complementary intervention along with medical treatments.

Objective. The Chronic Care Model, based on core elements of team-centered care in chronic diseases, has widely been accepted. This study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the Chronic Care Model in type 2 diabetes management. Methods. A group randomized experimental study was conducted. Twelve communities of the Zhaohui Community Health Service Center in Hangzhou, China, were randomly assigned into an intervention group (n=6) receiving the Chronic Care Model-based intervention and a control group (n=6) receiving conventional care. A total of three hundred patients, twenty-five for each community, aged ≥18 years with type 2 diabetes for at least 1-year duration, were recruited. Data of health behaviors, clinical outcomes, and health-related quality of life (Short-Form 36-item questionnaire) were collected before and after a 9-month intervention and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, chi-square test, binary logistic regression, and linear mixed regression. A total of 258 patients (134 in intervention and 124 in control) who completed the baseline and follow-up evaluations and the entire intervention were included in the final analyses. Results. Health behaviors such as drinking habit (OR=0.07, 95% CI: 0.01, 0.75), physical activity (OR=2.92, 95% CI: 1.18, 7.25), and diet habit (OR=4.30, 95% CI: 1.49, 12.43) were improved. The intervention group had a remarkable reduction in glycated hemoglobin (from 7.17% to 6.60%, P<0.001). The quality of life score changes of the role limitation due to physical problems (mean=9.97, 95% CI: 3.33, 16.60), social functioning (mean=6.50, 95% CI: 2.37, 10.64), role limitation due to emotional problems (mean=8.06, 95% CI: 2.15, 13.96), and physical component summary score (mean=3.31, 95% CI: 1.22, 5.39) were improved in the intervention group compared to the control group. Conclusion. The Chronic Care Model-based intervention helped improve some health behaviors, clinical outcomes, and quality of life of type 2 diabetes patients in China in a short term.

Aim: to investigate the effectiveness of the use of acupuncture in the complex rehabilitation of patients with type 2 diabetes in combination with chronic pancreatitis based on an assessment of the quality of life (QOL) and clinical parameters. Material and Methods: 60 patients with type 2 diabetes in combination with CP were examined and divided into 2 groups. The average age of the patients was (52.86±0.83) years. Control group – 15 healthy persons. To evaluate QOL, a questionnaire was interviewed using the SF-36 questionnaire in treatment dynamics. All patients with type 2 diabetes in combination with CP received adequate conventional therapy. In addition to the treatment, the patients of group II received the acupuncture course according to the methodology, which was formed on the basis of the experience of the Kyiv School of reflexology (EL Macheret et al.) and the Beijing School (Kong Lin). Results: Faecal α-elastase levels increased by 14.9% in group 1, by 25.6% in group 2, blood glucose decreased by 9.2% in group 1 and by 19.5% in group 2, HbA1c level – by 4.9% in Group 1 and by 12.2% in Group 2, changes in coprogram parameters in points – by 24.5% in Group 1 and by 55.2% in Group 2. According to the SF-36 scales, there was a positive dynamics of quality of life in patients of both groups. In group 2, there was a more significant positive trend in the total indicator of mental status (increased by 17.75% (p <0.001) versus 8.71% (p <0.005) in the group 1, respectively) and physical status (increased by 2.59% ( p <0.05) versus 7.19% (p <0.05)). Conclusions: Improved exocrine and endocrine functions of the pancreas, as well as improved quality of life in patients treated with a course of acupuncture increase the efficiency of complex rehabilitation of patients with type 2 diabetes in combination with CP was found.
