Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Group 1 patients will receive the coordinated inpatient diabetes education program (IDEP). Patients will be initially evaluated by a certified diabetes educator (CDE) to assess diabetes knowledge and to set priorities for "survival skills" education. Based on this individualized evaluation, a structured education plan will be devised and implemented by the CDE. The structured education plan will be modified as needed throughout the hospital stay to utilize more appropriate educational methods based on patient availability, condition or educational needs.
Group 2 (Control) will receive diabetes education as it is presently provided in our facility by the clinical staff. The staff nurse will be alerted that the patient is a participant in the research study and will record education provided in the electronic medical records.
The modified Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center's Brief Diabetes Knowledge Test (DKT) and the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQs), if diabetes was pre-existing, will be administered initially to all patients by a member of the research team. If appropriate, the patient will be asked by the research team to complete a Quality of Life Survey (The Medical Outcomes Survey (MOS) Short-Form 36 (SF-36) General Health Survey prior to discharge. Completion of the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire - Inpatient (DTSQ-IP) will also be requested of the patient prior to discharge.
All participants will be contacted 4 months after discharge for a similar assessment of quality of life and patient satisfaction with diabetes treatment, and for an additional assessment of diabetes self-management practices which includes the number of emergency room visits and readmissions since discharge. Comparisons will be made between the two groups and between baseline and follow-up assessments.
