Overall , family support had a positive impact on healthy diet , increased perceived support , higher self-efficacy , improved psychological well-being and better glycemic control .
This systematic review found evidence that DSME with family support improved self-management behaviors and health outcomes among uncontrolled glycaemia T2D patients .
The rate of type-2 diabetes mellitus ( T2D ) is dramatically increasing worldwide .
Continuing diabetes mellitus ( DM ) care needs effective self-management education and support for both patients and family members .
This study aim ed to review and describe the impacts of diabetes mellitus self-management education ( DSME ) that involve family members on patient outcomes related to patient health behaviors and perceived self-efficacy on self-management such as medication adherence , blood glucose monitoring , diet and exercise changes , health outcomes including psychological well-being and self-efficacy , and physiological markers including body mass index , level of blood pressure , cholesterol level and glycemic control .
Culturally Tailored Intervention for Rural African Americans With Type 2 Diabetes
Purpose The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate a culturally tailored intervention for rural African Americans . Social Cognitive Theory provided the framework for the study . Methods Twenty-two participants were recruited and r and omly assigned to either Group or Individual diabetes self-management ( DSME ) . Group DSME included story-telling , h and s-on activities , and problem-solving exercises . Individual DSME sessions focused on goal - setting and problem-solving strategies . Sessions were offered in an accessible community center over a 10-week period . Results Outcomes included glycosylated hemoglobin ( A1C ) , self-care actions , self-efficacy level , goal attainment , and satisfaction with DSME . Participants in both Group and Individual DSME improved slightly over the 3-month period in self-care activities , A1C level , and goal attainment . Although differences were not statistically significant , trends indicate improved scores on dietary actions , foot care , goal attainment , and empowerment for those experiencing Group DSME . Conclusions The culturally tailored approach was well received by all participants . Improvements among those receiving Individual DSME may indicate that brief sessions using a culturally tailored approach could enhance self-care and glycemic control . Additional testing among more participants over a longer time period is recommended
