Abstract
Objectives
This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of an individual and family self-management (IFSM) education program on triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, self-management, and diabetes distress among adults with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM).
Methods
A multicentre randomized controlled trial was employed. The study included 68 dyads (adults with uncontrolled T2DM and one family member) that were randomly allocated to the intervention (n = 34) and control groups (n = 34) from March to September 2024. Participants in the intervention group received an 8-week IFSM education program, whereas those in the control group received standard routine care. An automated hematology analyzer XP-100 was used to evaluate triglyceride and fasting blood glucose levels. The Diabetes Distress Scale and Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire were used to measure diabetes distress and self-management, respectively.
Results
A total of 67 participants completed the intervention. The generalized estimating equation demonstrated a significant interaction between group and time. The IFSM education intervention group had a higher diabetes self-management (β = 16.68; 95 %CI = 15.23, 18.09; P < 0.001), lower diabetes distress (β = −30.74; 95 %CI = −32.57, −28.90; P < 0.001), and lower TyG index (β = −1.97; 95 %CI = −2.41, −1.53; P < 0.001) than the control group.
Conclusions
The findings documented the capacity of IFSM education to reduce TyG and diabetes distress, which could potentially escalate diabetes self-management among individuals with T2DM.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to promote excellence in nursing and health care through the dissemination of the latest, evidence-based, peer-reviewed clinical information and original research, providing an international platform for exchanging knowledge, research findings and nursing practice experience. This journal covers a wide range of nursing topics such as advanced nursing practice, bio-psychosocial issues related to health, cultural perspectives, lifestyle change as a component of health promotion, chronic disease, including end-of-life care, family care giving. IJNSS publishes four issues per year in Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct. IJNSS intended readership includes practicing nurses in all spheres and at all levels who are committed to advancing practice and professional development on the basis of new knowledge and evidence; managers and senior members of the nursing; nurse educators and nursing students etc. IJNSS seeks to enrich insight into clinical need and the implications for nursing intervention and models of service delivery. Contributions are welcomed from other health professions on issues that have a direct impact on nursing practice.
