Prior reviews lacked a quantitative synthesis of these interventions' effects on outcomes like self-care, HbA1c, and quality of life (QoL), limiting their applicability to clinical practice. This study aimed to systematically evaluate and quantify the effectiveness of nurse-led digitalized diabetes management programmes for community-dwelling adults with T2DM.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>We searched six databases to identify relevant articles from their inception to June 2024. Randomized controlled trials that evaluate the effects of nurse-led digitalized diabetes management programs for community-dwelling patients with T2DM were included. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool version 2.0 was used to appraise the included studies. The pairwise meta-analysis was performed through the software Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Version 3.0.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Eleven RCTs were included, encompassing 2943 participants from various regions. Nurse-led digitalized programs significantly improved self-care behaviors (SMD = 1.15; 95% CI: 0.49 to 1.81), and QoL (SMD = 0.65; 95% CI: 0.37 to 0.94). The interventions also demonstrated a clinically meaningful reduction in HbA1c levels (MD = -0.25%; 95% CI: −0.43 to −0.06), highlighting their potential in improving glycaemic control. Heterogeneity across studies was substantial for self-care but moderate for HbA1c and QoL.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Nurse-led digitalised diabetes management programmes effectively enhance self-care behavior, reduce HbA1c levels, and improve QoL among community-dwelling patients with T2DM.

Their integration into routine clinical practice could address barriers to care, optimize diabetes management, and reduce the long-term burden of the disease.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Review Registration</h3>\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":51091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing Scholarship","volume":"57 5","pages":"713-727"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144217470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
