Diabetes self-management education has gained in importance over the past decade as research has documented the benefits of such interventions in improving glucose control and reducing diabetes-related complications. Although minority populations bear a disproportionate burden of diabetes, past strategies have not addressed cultural characteristics of groups typically underrepresented in diabetes research. Recent research literature on the development of culturally competent diabetes self-management is summarized and an example of a culturally competent intervention designed for Spanish-speaking Mexican Americans is presented. Recent research is laying the foundation for future intervention development to meet the cultural needs of racial/ethnic groups.
在过去十年中，糖尿病自我管理教育的重要性日益凸显，因为研究已证明此类干预措施在改善血糖控制和减少糖尿病相关并发症方面的益处。尽管少数族裔群体承受着不成比例的糖尿病负担，但过去的策略并未考虑到糖尿病研究中通常代表性不足的群体的文化特征。本文总结了近期关于具有文化胜任力的糖尿病自我管理发展的研究文献，并给出了一个为讲西班牙语的墨西哥裔美国人设计的具有文化胜任力的干预措施示例。近期的研究正在为未来满足种族/族裔群体文化需求的干预措施发展奠定基础。
