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 .
Outcomes from a Diabetes Self-management Intervention for Native Hawaiians and Pacific People: Partners in Care
Background Culturally adapted interventions are needed to reduce diabetes-related morbidity and mortality among Native Hawaiian and Pacific People . Purpose The purpose of this study is to pilot test the effectiveness of a culturally adapted diabetes self-management intervention . Methods Participants were r and omly assigned in an unbalanced design to the Partners in Care intervention ( n = 48 ) or wait list control group ( n = 34 ) . Assessment s of hemoglobin A1c , underst and ing of diabetes self-management , performance of self-care activities , and diabetes-related distress were measured at baseline and 3 months ( post intervention ) . Analysis of covariance was used to test between-group differences . The community steering committee and focus group data informed the cultural adaptation of the intervention . Results There were significant baseline adjusted differences at 3 months between the Partners in Care and wait list control group in intent-to-treat ( p < 0.001 ) and complete case analyses ( p < 0.0001 ) for A1c , underst and ing ( p < 0.0001 ) , and performing diabetes self-management ( p < 0.0001 ) . Conclusions A culturally adapted diabetes self-management intervention of short duration was an effective approach to improving glycemic control among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Isl and ers
