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 .
Evaluation of the UCL Diabetes Self-management Programme (UCL-DSMP): A Randomized Controlled Trial
Self-management has been described as the cornerstone of care for diabetes . Many self-management studies are limited by poor methodology and poor descriptions of the intervention . The current study developed a theoretically based self-management programme for patients with type 2 diabetes , which was evaluated via a r and omized controlled trial . At immediate post-intervention and three-month follow-up the intervention group showed significant improvement relative to controls on self-management behaviours , quality of life and illness beliefs . A trend towards improved HbA1c was also observed . Documentation in a manual and development of a training programme for facilitators ensures the programme is replicable
