Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), blood pressure, self-efficacy, and quality of life efficacy of using telecare services for community-dwelling people with diabetes.
Methods
Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PsycINFO, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Scopus databases were systematically searched from their inception dates to June 22, 2023. Two evaluators independently selected and evaluated eligible studies. A protocol was registered in PROSPERO.
Results
An analysis of 17 studies that included 3586 subjects showed that telecare significantly improved the management of patients with diabetes. Compared to controls, intervention care had significant benefits regarding HbA1c (MD = −0.30, 95 % CI = −0.44 – −0.17, 16 studies), systolic blood pressure (MD = −2.45, 95 % CI = −4.53 – −0.36, P = 0.02), self-efficacy (MD = 0.36, 95 % CI = 0.04 – 0.67, P = 0.03) and quality of life (MD = 0.37, 95 % CI = 0.05 – 0.70, P = 0.02). However, diastolic blood pressure (MD = −1.37, 95 % CI = −3.34 – −0.61, P = 0.17) was not found to be significantly affected.
Conclusions
Telecare is effective in improving self-management among community-dwelling people with diabetes, suggesting an effective means for them to achieve self-management.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes original research articles and high quality reviews in the fields of clinical care, diabetes education, nutrition, health services, psychosocial research and epidemiology and other areas as far as is relevant for diabetology in a primary-care setting. The purpose of the journal is to encourage interdisciplinary research and discussion between all those who are involved in primary diabetes care on an international level. The Journal also publishes news and articles concerning the policies and activities of Primary Care Diabetes Europe and reflects the society''s aim of improving the care for people with diabetes mellitus within the primary-care setting.
