Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a serious health problem for Pakistan and around the world due to its increasing prevalence and the risk of adverse health outcomes including kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, leg amputation and blindness. These problems reduce the quality of life of individuals with type 2 DM and increase their financial burden, thereby affecting the national economy. Given its huge health and economic impact, preventing type 2 DM progression and reducing the risk of associated complications requires immediate attention. Evidence suggests that self-management can slow the progression of type 2 DM, minimizes the risk of major complications and hence, lowers health-care costs. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a patient centered self-management intervention to improve health outcomes in adults with type 2 DM. It is expected that patients receiving this intervention would have improved health outcomes as compared to patients who did not.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background: In Pakistan, the rising burden of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and its associated complications is considerably affecting the functional capacity of the individuals, their quality of life and demand for healthcare services with significant economic impact on health care system and the national economy. Given its enormous health and economic impact, preventing type 2 DM progression and reducing the risk of associated complications requires immediate attention. Evidence suggests that self-management can slow the progression of type 2 DM and minimize the risk of major complications thereby lowering health-care costs. Efective self-management on the other hand, demands patients' confidence and their full commitment to perform self care tasks necessitating a patient-centered approach.

Objective: To test the efficacy of a patient centered self-management intervention to improve glycemic control, self-efficacy and self-care behaviors in adults with type 2 DM.

Setting, Duration, Study Type: The study will be carried out as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in four public tertiary care hospitals in Faisalabad, Pakistan.

Methods: A total 612 subjects will be recruited from out-patient departments (OPDs) of the study hospitals. Using random allocation 306 subjects will be assigned to the control group and 306 to the intervention group. Both the control group and the intervention group will receive usual care delivered at study hospitals. The intervention group will additionally receive a patient centered self-management Intervention for eight weeks duration.

Expected Outcome: If the study is able to show that the intervention group had improved glycemic control, self-efficacy and self-care behaviors than the control group. Then, employing hospital policies, this evidence-based care may be provided to all DM patients.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

In parallel arm design, subjects are randomized to one or more study arms and each study arm will be allocated a different intervention. After randomization each subject stays in their assigned treatment arm for the duration of the study. Subjects receive the same treatment throughout the trial. The results are then compared.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control Group (CG)

The subjects in the Control Group (CG) will receive usual care as being received in study hospitals. Usual care at study hospitals involve consultaion with the physician which encompasses history taking, blood glucose measurement, prescription and provision of general education regarding lifestyle modification verbally or in the form of pamphelets.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Intervention Group (IG)

The subjects in the Intervention Group (IG) will receive usual care as well as a nurse-led PAtient CEntered Self-Management Intervention (PACE-SMI). PACE-SMI will be delivered for eight weeks duration comprising eight face to face individual and group educational, couselling and behavioral (ECB) training sessions in addition to telephonic reminders and a home visit by Principal Investigator (PI) and Research Assistants (RA). Outcome variables will be measured at three points in time (at baseline, at completion of intervention and lastly, after three months follow-up).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PAtient CEntered Self-Management Intervention (PACE-SMI)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Week 1: General disease knowledge. Week 2: Role of self-care behaviors towards effective management of type 2 diabetes, motivational video and real story of a diabetic patient to serve as a role-model. Lastly, provision of diabetes self-care guidebook.

Week 3: Home visit to observe facilitators and barriers on initiating and maintaining behavioral change with social support as a key strategy.

Week 4: ECB session on Diet. Week 5: ECB session on Physical Activity. Week 6: ECB session on Foot Care. Week 7: ECB session on Medication Adherence. Week 8: Booster session comprising reflection, performance feedback and review of behavioral goals fostering continued performance accomplishment and addressing difficulties of maintaining behaviour change over time.
