An Interactive Mobile Care on Self-management Among T2DM with OSA

The aim of the second and third year is to construct the "Care model of improving for overweight or obese T2DM with OSA" based on the transtheoretical model, and to import an interactive m-health self-management (m-Health My OSA Coach; MOSAC)" cloud platform to examine the effectiveness of OSA in T2DM participants. A randomized controlled trial study design will be adopted. Eligible OSA participants who have been screened for OSA following the first stage will be invited to the second stage. The participants will be randomly divided into either experimental or control group with 1:1 ratio. The total duration of intervention program is 6 months. Only the experimental group receives the MOSAC intervention.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder. It is estimated that nearly 1 billion adults are affected by OSA in worldwide. It is about 36-60% of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients with OSA. Studies have shown that obesity is an independent risk factor for both OSA and T2DM, and the prevalence of obesity among adults in Taiwan has reached 45.4%. As a result, the incidence of T2DM has also increased annually and has become younger. For this reason, the OSA derived from it should not be underestimated. A three-year with longitudinal study will be conducted. In the first year, a cross-sectional study design is employed. Convenience sampling is used and 485 overweight community-based participants who will recruit from four diabetes co-care clinics in North and Central Taiwan. The Epworth Sleep Scale, Pittsburgh's Sleep Quality Index, Taiwanese depression Scale, Health Promotion Lifestyle Scale, and the home portable sleep monitor will be used for data collection. The aim of the second and third year is to construct the "Care model of improving for overweight or obese T2DM with OSA" based on the transtheoretical model, and to import an interactive m-health self-management (m-Health My OSA Coach; MOSAC)" cloud platform to examine the effectiveness of OSA in T2DM participants. A randomized controlled trial study design will be adopted. Eligible OSA participants who have been screened for OSA following the first stage will be invited to the second stage. The participants will be randomly divided into either experimental or control group with 1:1 ratio. The total duration of intervention program is 6 months. Only the experimental group receives the MOSAC intervention. All data will be collected at baseline, 3, and 6 months after intervention. Generalized estimating equation is employed to analyze the effectiveness of the intervention. Hopefully, the findings of this study will serve as a reference for the health care providers and will help construct a model of care for people with overweight and obese T2DM with OSA in the community.
