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 .
Problem oriented participatory education in the guidance of adults with non-insulin-treated type-II diabetes mellitus.
A population -based study on the therapeutic effects of a diabetes teaching programme ( DTP ) based on problem oriented participatory education (POPE)--a method based on learner activity in group meetings -- was undertaken at the Primary Health Care Centre , Kisa , Sweden , in collaboration with educationalists . A control group was given conventional classroom teaching . To be included a patient had to be aged 55 - 73 years , to live in his own home , and to have non-insulin-treated type II diabetes mellitus . The therapeutic effects of the DTP were studied before , during , and after POPE with regard to three factors , diabetes related knowledge , behaviour assessed by dietary and exercise habits , and the quality of the anti-diabetic therapy as assessed by metabolic profile including Hb-A1 . Significant improvement in knowledge and transient improvement in Hb-A1 concentration were recorded among patients taking part in a DTP adjusted to their individual problems and needs . When improvement in metabolic control does not last , group meetings should be continued for more than the three months used in the present study . We believe that such improvement is intimately bound up with the psycho-social process that is involved in the group meetings and that helps the patient to cope with the disease in particular and life in general
