Nurses only and multidisciplinary teams were the most frequent professionals to provide education , and most educational interventions were delivered postdischarge .
Psychoeducational interventions were generally effective at reducing smoking and admissions for patients with ACS .
Culturally appropriate health education , self-management educational interventions , group medical visits and psychoeducational interventions were generally effective for patients with T2DM .
Results indicate that there is a body of current evidence about the efficacy of health education , its content and delivery methods for patients with ACS or T2DM .
OBJECTIVES This umbrella review aim ed to identify the current evidence on health education-related interventions for patients with acute coronary syndrome ( ACS ) or type two diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ) ; identify the educational content , delivery methods , intensity , duration and setting required .
The purpose was to provide recommendations for educational interventions for high-risk patients with both ACS and T2DM .

OBJECTIVE A trial was performed to establish whether our group care model for lifestyle intervention in type 2 diabetes can be exported to other clinics . RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This study was a 4-year , two-armed , multicenter controlled trial in 13 hospital-based diabetes clinics in Italy ( current controlled trials no. IS RCT N19509463 ) . A total of 815 non – insulin-treated patients aged < 80 years with ≥1 year known diabetes duration were r and omized to either group or individual care . RESULTS After 4 years , patients in group care had lower A1C , total cholesterol , LDL cholesterol , triglycerides , systolic and diastolic blood pressure , BMI , and serum creatinine and higher HDL cholesterol ( P < 0.001 , for all ) than control subjects receiving individual care , despite similar pharmacological prescriptions . Health behaviors , quality of life , and knowledge of diabetes had become better in group care patients than in control subjects ( P < 0.001 , for all ) . CONCLUSIONS The favorable clinical , cognitive , and psychological outcomes of group care can be reproduced in different clinical setting
