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 .
Integrative Health Coaching for Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of integrative health ( IH ) coaching on psychosocial factors , behavior change , and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes . Methods Fifty-six patients with type 2 diabetes were r and omized to either 6 months of IH coaching or usual care ( control group ) . Coaching was conducted by telephone for fourteen 30-minute sessions . Patients were guided in creating an individualized vision of health , and goals were self-chosen to align with personal values . The coaching agenda , discussion topics , and goals were those of the patient , not the provider . Preintervention and postintervention assessment s measured medication adherence , exercise frequency , patient engagement , psychosocial variables , and A1C . Results Perceived barriers to medication adherence decreased , while patient activation , perceived social support , and benefit finding all increased in the IH coaching group compared with those in the control group . Improvements in the coaching group alone were also observed for self-reported adherence , exercise frequency , stress , and perceived health status . Coaching participants with elevated baseline A1C ( ≥7 % ) significantly reduced their A1C . Conclusions A coaching intervention focused on patients ’ values and sense of purpose may provide added benefit to traditional diabetes education programs . Fundamentals of IH coaching may be applied by diabetes educators to improve patient self-efficacy , accountability , and clinical outcomes
