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 .
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
