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 .
A pilot randomized trial in primary care to investigate and improve knowledge, awareness and self-management among South Asians with diabetes in Manchester.
AIMS To investigate whether a secondary - primary care partnership education package could improve underst and ing of diabetes care among South Asians . METHODS In a pilot r and omized controlled trial , in the setting of eight general practice s r and omized to intervention or control , patients were invited to four or more rotating visits per year by one of a diabetes specialist nurse , dietician or chiropodist working with general practice staff . Participants were from lists of South Asian patients with known Type 2 diabetes in each ( general ) practice . RESULTS Patients and practice scores at baseline and 1-year follow-up , from an interview using a question naire on knowledge , awareness and self-management of diabetes . Responses were developed into educational packages used during intervention . Of the 411 patients listed at baseline only 211 were traced for interview ( refusal only 4 % ) . Mean age was 55.4 years , age of diabetes onset 47.1 years . Fourteen percent were employed and 35 % were able to communicate in English fluently . Only 118 could be traced and interviewed at 1 year , although there was no significant difference in demography between those who completed the study and those who did not . Despite a mean of four visits/patient , intervention had no impact on scores for diabetes knowledge , or awareness [ score change 0.14 , 95 % confidence interval ( CI ) -0.20 , 0.49 ] or self-management ( -0.05 , 95 % CI -0.48 , 0.39 ) between baseline and 1 year . CONCLUSIONS This form of secondary / primary care support did not transfer information effectively , and we suspect similar problems would arise in other similar communities . Different methods of clinician/patient information exchange need to be developed for diabetes in this South Asian group
