Brief Summary

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Positive psychology intervention (PPI) emphasis enhancing PPCs via consciousness raising and enhancing personal strengths. With the systemic practice of PPI, it develops individual positive cognition and emotions. A previous Internet-based intervention study found that people have been taught positive emotional skills shown a significantly lower depression level than those having the daily emotional diary. Additionally, a one-group pre-post test study found that both optimism and gratitude have significantly increased after a 12-week phone-based PPI in patients with T2DM. Another one-group pretest-posttest study demonstrated that optimism and well-being had significantly increased after a 12-week PPI. Furthermore, optimism, gratitude, frustrated, depressive, and distress, diabetes self-care and health behaviours adherence have obvious improved. A recent study demonstrated that self-care behaviour and diet behaviour had significantly improved after a 16-week phone-based psychological-motivational interviewing intervention among the patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with 8 years duration of diabetes. Although previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of PPI on PPCs, only few studies investigate the impact on patients newly diagnosed with T2DM. Thus, the aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness of app-based PPI on patients newly diagnosed with T2DM.
Patients newly diagnosed with T2DM of an endocrinology clinic in a medical center in northern Taiwan are assigned to the experimental group (n=57), while patients at an endocrinology clinic in southern Taiwan are assigned to the control group (n=113). Experimental group will have a 3-month App-based intervention, while the control group only have a diabetes-related health education by certificated diabetes educators. Outcome variables will be collected from medical records and self-reported questionnaires. A Generalized Estimation Equation (GEE) is used to compare the changing amount of outcome variables from baseline to week at the end of intervention, to 3 months, and to 9 months post-intervention between a control group and experimental group. A p-value \<.05 is considered statistically significant.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
App-based Positive Psychological Intervention group
The intervention will be conducted on the app, including 2-week PPI, diabetes-related health education, physical records, and online consultation.
App-based Positive Psychological Intervention
The PPI has included a 12-week PPI lessons. Each lesson has separated into 3 parts: introduction, activity, and feedback. Diabetes-related health education will include the basic knowledge of diabetes, diet, and exercise related videos. Physical records include record of daily blood sugar, blood pressure, HbA1c, diet, and exercise. In terms of dietary records, the amount of carbohydrates of each food will be calculate automatically after documented. Exercise records documents the burn of calories of each exercise (per 30 minutes). Both unit of dietary and exercise are based on Health Promotion Administration's criteria in Taiwan. Moreover, participants are available to have one-on-one instant online consultation with their diabetes educators via App.
