Overall , family support had a positive impact on healthy diet , increased perceived support , higher self-efficacy , improved psychological well-being and better glycemic control .
This systematic review found evidence that DSME with family support improved self-management behaviors and health outcomes among uncontrolled glycaemia T2D patients .
The rate of type-2 diabetes mellitus ( T2D ) is dramatically increasing worldwide .
Continuing diabetes mellitus ( DM ) care needs effective self-management education and support for both patients and family members .
This study aim ed to review and describe the impacts of diabetes mellitus self-management education ( DSME ) that involve family members on patient outcomes related to patient health behaviors and perceived self-efficacy on self-management such as medication adherence , blood glucose monitoring , diet and exercise changes , health outcomes including psychological well-being and self-efficacy , and physiological markers including body mass index , level of blood pressure , cholesterol level and glycemic control .
Promoting couples collaboration in type 2 diabetes: the diabetes support project pilot data.
A pilot study was conducted to assess the feasibility and potential efficacy of a couples focused diabetes intervention in which a collaborative problem-solving approach to diabetes self-care was promoted . Couples ( N = 44 ) , in which one partner had Type 2 diabetes and was in poor blood glucose control were r and omly assigned to one of three groups : a couples intervention , an individual intervention , or individual diabetes education . The intervention included goal - setting , dietary behavior change , and a focus on emotions . For those in the couples arm , this was done within the framework of promoting collaborative communication between the partners . All intervention contacts were over the telephone to increase reach . Results showed that both the individual and couples interventions yielded meaningful clinical improvements in medical outcomes . Diabetes education also result ed in improved blood glucose control . Despite the small number , mixed-model regression analyses found statistically significant treatment effects for total cholesterol . This pilot demonstrates the feasibility and potential efficacy of a telephone intervention for Type 2 diabetes patients and their partners . Information from implementing this pilot led to refinement and further development of the intervention , which is being assessed in a larger , more comprehensive trial
