Abstract

Introduction: Determine the effectiveness of a diabetes text message intervention to improve diabetes outcomes in Latino adults at a free clinic in the southeastern United States. Methods: A pre–post, one-group design was used with a convenience sample (n = 24) of Latino adults with type 2 diabetes and A1C ≥ 7 who consented to participate. Over 8 weeks, participants were sent 23 educational and motivational text messages that were based on the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) 7 self-care tasks and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, self-care, and A1C were measured. Results: Diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, self-care, and A1C improved after 8 weeks. Statistically significant results (p < .05) were seen in two of the four evaluation instruments administered (Spoken Knowledge in Low Literacy in Diabetes Scale [SKILLD], p = .001, Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale [DSES], p = .000). A1C improvements were significant (0.86 or 10 mmol/mol) from the pre-intervention (M = 9.06 [76 mmol/mol], SD = 1.49) to the post-intervention (M = 8.20 [66 mmol/mol], SD = 1.27, t [23] = 3.02, p = .006). Conclusion: Personalized communication, education, and follow-up via text messages improved diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, self-care, and A1C among pilot project participants. Text messages are a useful tool for diabetes management.

拉丁裔成年人短信干预改善糖尿病预后

引言：在美国东南部的一家免费诊所，确定糖尿病短信干预改善拉丁裔成年人糖尿病预后的有效性。方法：采用前后一组设计，方便样本（n = 24）患有2型糖尿病和A1C的拉丁裔成年人 ≥ 7名同意参加。在8周的时间里，参与者收到了23条基于美国糖尿病教育者协会（AADE）7项自我护理任务和美国糖尿病协会（ADA）糖尿病医疗护理标准的教育和激励短信。测量糖尿病知识、自我效能、自我护理和A1C。结果：8周后，糖尿病知识、自我效能、自我保健和A1C得到改善。具有统计学意义的结果（p < .05）在四种评估工具中的两种中可见（糖尿病低识字口语量表[SKILLD]，p = .001，糖尿病自我效能量表，p = .000）。A1C显著改善（0.86或10 mmol/mol）（M = 9.06[76 mmol/mol]，SD = 1.49）至干预后（M = 8.20[66 mmol/mol]，SD = 1.27，t[23] = 3.02，p = .006）。结论：通过短信进行个性化沟通、教育和随访，提高了试点项目参与者的糖尿病知识、自我效能、自我保健和A1C。短信是糖尿病管理的有用工具。
