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 .
Medical Assistant Coaching to Support Diabetes Self-Care Among Low-Income Racial/Ethnic Minority Populations
Innovative , culturally tailored strategies are needed to extend diabetes education and support efforts in lower-re source d primary care practice s serving racial/ethnic minority groups . A r and omized controlled trial ( RCT ) examined the effect of a diabetes self-care coaching intervention delivered by medical assistants and the joint effect of intervention and ethnicity over time . The r and omized repeated- measures design included 270 low-income African American and Hispanic/Latino patients with type 2 diabetes . The 1-year clinic- and telephone-based medical assistant coaching intervention was culturally tailored and guided by theoretical frameworks . A1C was obtained , and a self-care measure was completed at baseline , 6 months , and 12 months . Data were analyzed using mixed-effects models with and without adjustment for covariates . There was a significant overall improvement in mean self-care scores across time , but no intervention effect . Results revealed differences in self-care patterns across racial/ethnic subgroups . No differences were found for A1C levels across time or group
