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 .
Impact of Intensive Educational Approach to Dietary Change in NIDDM
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of an intensive educational approach incorporating longer time , greater simplicity , repetition , and cognitive motivational techniques with a conventional one in subjects with established non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus ( NIDDM ) whose weight , glycemic control , and diet were not optimal . Subjects were r and omly allocated to intensive or conventional education .  Of 350 subjects , 70 met the study criteria , which included established NIDDM ( ≥3 mo ) , suboptimal recent glycemic control , dietary fat intake ≥35 % of total energy intake , and body massindex ≥25 kg/m2 . The intensive approach was associated with significantly greater improvements in dietary compliance , dietary intake ( complex carbohydrate , [ P = 0.013 ] , legumes [ P < 0.0001 ] , fiber [ P < 0.0001 ] , total fat [ P < 0.004 ] , saturated fat [ P < 0.004 ] ) , and total cholesterol level ( P = 0.007 ) . The transient improvement in glycemic control was similar in both groups . An intensive education program can improve dietary compliance in established NIDDM subjects more than a conventional one . These recommended dietary improvements achieve better improvement in total cholesterol but do not necessarily improve glycemic control
