Dissertation
The effectiveness of a community-based diabetes patient education program
1999
Overview
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between a community-based diabetes education program and control of glycosylated hemoglobin and body weight in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Roy's adaptation model of nursing provided the theoretical framework for this study. A convenience sample of 31 adults with Type 2 diabetes were recruited from an outpatient endocrinologist's office that offered a community-based diabetes education program. A one-group pre and post quasi-experimental investigation was conducted to ascertain changes in glycosylated hemoglobin and body weight. Data collection was conducted by retrospective record audit at three months, six months, and one year post-intervention. A paired t test was used to analyze the variations in the glycosylated hemoglobin and body weight over time. Findings showed statistically significant lower glycosylated hemoglobin levels post-intervention at the three month, six month, and one year check points. No statistically significant differences were found in post-intervention body weight measurements except for those subjects who had had diabetes less than ten years. These subjects' data approached statistical significance for the weight loss at six months post-intervention. Findings suggest that the community-based education program was effective in helping patients achieve improved blood glucose control.
