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 .
Effects of diet and exercise interventions on control and quality of life in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
Evidence suggests that diet and exercise are associated with improved glucose tolerance for patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus ( NIDDM ) . Seventy-six volunteer adult patients with NIDDM were each assigned to one of four programs : 1 ) diet , 2 ) exercise , 3 ) diet plus exercise , or 4 ) education ( control ) . Each program required ten weekly meetings . Detailed evaluations were completed prior to the program and after three , six , 12 , and 18 months . Evaluations included various psychosocial measures , measures of the quality of life , and fasting blood glucose , glycosylated hemoglobin , and relative weight determinations . Of the 76 original participants , 70 completed the 18-month follow-up study . At 18 months , the combination diet- and -exercise group had achieved the greatest reductions in glycosylated hemoglobin measures . In addition , this group showed significant improvements on a general quality of life measure . These improvements were largely uncorrelated with changes in weight . The authors conclude that the combination of dietary change and physical conditioning benefits NIDDM patients , and that the benefits may be independent of substantial weight loss
