Interventions were generally effective on behavior change and patients ’ glycemic control in the short term ( ≤9 months ) .
Conclusions The limited studies available suggest that diabetes self-management education programs in developing countries are effective in the short term but must be tailored to conform to the cultural aspects of the target population
Purpose Although self-management education is a key factor in the care for diabetes patients , its implementation in developing countries is not well documented .
This systematic review considers the published literature on diabetes self-management education in high and low mortality developing countries .
The aim is to provide a state of the art of current practice s and assess program outcomes , cultural sensitivity , and accessibility to low literate patients .
The effects of education based on extended health belief model in type 2 diabetic patients: a randomized controlled trial
Background Type II diabetes and its complications impose a large economic burden on health care systems . This study aims to assess the effectiveness of educational intervention based on extended health belief model on type 2 diabetic patients . Methods 120 patients with type II diabetes referring to r and omly selected hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences were enrolled in this educational intervention study . Patients were r and omly divided into two groups ( intervention and control ) . Data were collected using a question naire including demographic information and extended health belief model constructs . Two face to face educational sessions were conducted for each patient . Data were collected in two groups at three stages of the study ; before the educational sessions and at 3 months and 6 months intervals . Analysis was performed by SPSS ( 17.0 ) and STATA ( 11.0 ) using independent T-test , Chi-square , Fisher ’s exact test , analysis of covariance and Generalized Estimating Equation . A p value of less than 0.05 was regarded as statistically significant . Results The educational program had a positive and significant impact ( p < 0.0001 ) on extended health model belief constructs ( including perceived susceptibility , perceived intensity , perceived benefits , perceived barriers and self-efficacy ) in experimental group , 3 and 6 months after the intervention . Conclusions The results of this study showed the importance of extended health belief model based education in improving the model constructs and increasing self-efficacy in patients with type-2 diabetes
Interventions were generally effective on behavior change and patients ’ glycemic control in the short term ( ≤9 months ) .
