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 .
Community-Based Peer-Led Diabetes Self-management
Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a community-based diabetes self-management program comparing treatment participants to a r and omized usual-care control group at 6 months . Methods A total of 345 adults with type 2 diabetes but no criteria for high A1C were r and omized to a usual-care control group or 6-week community-based , peer-led diabetes self-management program ( DSMP ) . R and omized participants were compared at 6 months . The DSMP intervention participants were followed for an additional 6 months ( 12 months total ) . A1C and body mass index were measured at baseline , 6 months , and 12 months . All other data were collected by self-administered question naires . Results At 6 months , DSMP participants did not demonstrate improvements in A1C as compared with controls . Baseline A1C was much lower than in similar trials . Participants did have significant improvements in depression , symptoms of hypoglycemia , communication with physicians , healthy eating , and reading food labels ( P < .01 ) . They also had significant improvements in patient activation and self-efficacy . At 12 months , DSMP intervention participants continued to demonstrate improvements in depression , communication with physicians , healthy eating , patient activation , and self-efficacy ( P < .01 ) . There were no significant changes in utilization measures . Conclusions These findings suggest that people with diabetes without elevated A1C can benefit from a community-based , peer-led diabetes program . Given the large number of people with diabetes and lack of low-cost diabetes education , the DSMP deserves consideration for implementation
