Abstract

Objective: This study assessed the effects on type 2 diabetes self-management education provided in group courses with or without a supporting smartphone application (the DM2CUA app).

Research design and methods: This open-label, cluster-randomized, controlled, multicenter pilot study involved three Austrian diabetes educational group courses. People with type 2 diabetes in the control group received a regular educational group course, whereas those in the intervention group received the same course plus the use of the DM2CUA app. The app prompted participants to carry out educational tasks that were discussed in the course. After the last lesson, the app provided participants with relevant messages for another 4 weeks. The primary outcome measure was the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire score assessed at four time points. Secondary outcome measures included scores on the Diabetes Distress Scale and the Health Education Impact Questionnaire and A1C levels.

Results: Participants in the intervention group already had a higher level of diabetes self-management at the start, but the median score showed further improvement during the entire study period.

Conclusion: Findings from this pilot study suggest that the DM2CUA app may have a positive impact on diabetes self-management.

在对照试验环境下,2型糖尿病组培训课程是否整合移动健康支持的效果比较:一项比较试点研究的结果
目的:本研究评估了在有或没有智能手机应用程序(DM2CUA应用程序)的小组课程中提供的2型糖尿病自我管理教育的效果。研究设计和方法:这项开放标签、集群随机、对照、多中心的先导研究涉及三个奥地利糖尿病教育小组课程。对照组的2型糖尿病患者接受了常规的教育小组课程,而干预组的患者接受了相同的课程,并使用DM2CUA应用程序。该应用程序提示参与者执行课程中讨论的教育任务。最后一节课结束后,该应用程序在接下来的4周内为参与者提供相关信息。主要结局指标是糖尿病自我管理问卷得分,在四个时间点进行评估。次要结局指标包括糖尿病困扰量表、健康教育影响问卷得分和糖化血红蛋白水平。结果:干预组的参与者在开始时已经有较高的糖尿病自我管理水平,但在整个研究期间,中位数得分进一步提高。结论:这项初步研究的结果表明,DM2CUA应用程序可能对糖尿病自我管理产生积极影响。

期刊介绍: The mission of Diabetes Spectrum: From Research to Practice is to assist health care professionals in the development of strategies to individualize treatment and diabetes self-management education for improved quality of life and diabetes control. These goals are achieved by presenting review as well as original, peer-reviewed articles on topics in clinical diabetes management, professional and patient education, nutrition, behavioral science and counseling, educational program development, and advocacy. In each issue, the FROM RESEARCH TO PRACTICE section explores, in depth, a diabetes care topic and provides practical application of current research findings.
