Abstract Globally, there is an increased need to provide patient-centered care for people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In Nigeria, a poorly financed health system worsens the difficulties associated with managing T2DM in clinical settings, resulting in a detrimental effect on patient-centered care. We aimed to develop a conceptual model to promote patient-centered T2DM care in clinical settings. We explored nurses' contextual perceptions of clinical practices and operations that are relevant to T2DM management across public hospitals in Lagos, Nigeria. Identifying a nurse-led intervention is critical to care optimization for people diagnosed with T2DM. Using a qualitative research, we used semi-structured questions and the Constant Comparison Method to interview 17 practice (registered) nurses with over 1-year experience working in public hospitals across Lagos, Nigeria. The Framework Method was used for data analysis. The nurses provided insight into four areas of patient-centered T2DM management in clinical settings. They are: empowering collaboration, empowering flexibility, empowering approach, and empowering practice. The nurses discussed an empowering pathway through which health settings could provide patient-centered care to individuals diagnosed with T2DM. The pathway includes the integration of macro, meso, and micro levels for patient management. Their views informed the development of a conceptual model for the optimization of patient care. The model developed from this research sits within the Patient-Centered Care model of healthcare delivery. The model has the potential to inform patient-centered care in countries with poorly financed healthcare systems, and developed countries with comparatively better healthcare.

Patient-centered care is an essential part of the implementation of integrated medicine, integrating humanistic care into nursing services, enhancing communication between caregivers and patients, and providing personalized service to patients. Based on the similarity of interval type-2 fuzzy numbers (IT2FNs), a novel similarity-based methodology is presented for the selection of the most suitable medical treatment under a patient-centered environment. First, we propose a new similarity based on the geometric properties of interval type-2 fuzzy numbers and present a new property based on the center of gravity. Meanwhile, in order to better highlight the advantages of the proposed similarity, we selected 30 samples for comparative experiments. Second, considering the straightforward logic of the multi-attributive border approximation area comparison (MABAC) method, we extended it based on similarity to make the decision more accurate. Finally, a realistic patient-centered type-2 diabetes treatment selection problem is presented to verify the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. A comparative analysis with existing methods is also described.

Abstract Background: Patient-centered care in diabetes self-management might be a significant factor in improving self-care outcomes yet the supporting evidence is inadequate. This review is aimed to assess the effectiveness of patient-centered self-management care interventions on self-care outcomes such as glycemic control (HbA1c) and self-care behaviors in adults with type-2 diabetes compared with usual care. Methods: CINAHL, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar and the HEC Pakistan digital library were searched for English language studies that assessed patient-centered self-management educational and/or behavioral interventions in adults aged 18 years or above with type 2 diabetes from 1991 to 2020. Interventional studies comprising randomized controlled trials (RCT) and quasi experimental studies (QES) with at least three months follow up and reporting on self-care outcomes with glycemic control (HbA1c) as primary outcome and self-care behaviors including diet control, physical activity, medication adherence and foot care as secondary outcomes were included. Results: Of the 168 identified records, 25 were found eligible comprising 21 RCTs and 4 QESs with total 4,443 participants. The meta-analysis involved 23 studies that provided enough information for a pooled estimate of HbA1c. Compared with the control group, patient-centered self-management interventions significantly lowered HbA1c −0.53 (95% CI −0.73, −0.32). Stratified analysis for HbA1c with respect to various aspects of intervention showed larger effects in interventions employing both educational and behavioral components −0.59 (95% CI −0.86, −0.32), spanned over shorter (<03 months) duration −0.56 (95% CI −0.86, −0.27), administered by nurses −0.80 (95% CI −1.44, −0.16) and delivered in community setting −0.65 (95% CI −1.00, −0.29). Moreover, patient-centered self-management interventions were found effective in improving diet control, physical activity and foot care. Conclusion: This systematic review provided the evidence supporting the effectiveness of patient-centered self-management care interventions in improving glycemic control and self-care behaviors in adults with type 2 diabetes and identified key features of intervention contributing towards success.

Background. Medication adherence is negatively related to both diabetes distress (DD) and depressive symptoms (DS). Past research suggests gender differences in adherence, DD, and DS. A gap exists in determining if gender differences in adherence are mediated by DD and DS, or if gender moderates differences in adherence by DD/DS. Aims. This study investigated the relationship between gender, DD, DS, and medication adherence and tested for mediating and moderating effects on medication adherence among American Indian adults with type 2 diabetes. Method. The Maawaji idi-oog mino-ayaawin (Gathering for Health) study was a community-based participatory research collaboration with five American Indian tribes. Participants, randomly recruited from clinic records, shared information during computer-assisted personal interviews. This study includes the 166 participants who reported using medications to treat their diabetes. The relationship between gender, DD, DS, and medication adherence are explored. Possible mediating and moderating effects on medication were tested using regression and path analysis. Results. Females had higher levels of DD and DS and lower levels of medication adherence. Higher levels of DD and DS were both associated with lower medication adherence. No evidence was found that gender moderates the relationship between DD or DS and medication adherence. Instead, DD and DS mediated the relationship between gender and medication adherence. Conclusions. Medication adherence differences in male and female patients may be attributable to DD and DS. The present research highlights both DD and DS as targets for clinicians and researchers alike.
