Computer-aided diabetes education is the application of technology to provide information on diabetes self-management as well as test the users' knowledge and provide feedback. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the impact of computer-aided diabetes education in improving health outcomes. We identified reports of randomized controlled trials through systematic electronic database searches. Three eligibility criteria were applied: randomized controlled trial; evaluation of a computerized diabetes education program; and assessment measured on the outcome of patient care. We abstracted data by using a standardized form. Of 19 eligible trials, 16 trials (84.2%) reported significant positive outcomes. A total of 112 outcomes were identified. Forty-two percent (42.0%) of the outcomes demonstrated significant improvements (47 of 112 outcomes). Considering the importance of patient self-management behaviors in chronic disease management, initial evidence suggests computer-aided diabetes education can play a more significant role in the future.
计算机辅助糖尿病教育是利用技术提供有关糖尿病自我管理的信息，以及测试用户的知识并提供反馈。本文的目的是评估计算机辅助糖尿病教育对改善健康结果的影响。我们通过系统的电子数据库搜索确定了随机对照试验的报告。应用了三项纳入标准：随机对照试验；对计算机化糖尿病教育项目的评估；以及基于患者护理结果的评估。我们使用标准化表格提取数据。在19项符合条件的试验中，16项试验（84.2%）报告了显著的积极结果。共确定了112项结果。42.0%的结果显示出显著改善（112项结果中的47项）。考虑到患者自我管理行为在慢性病管理中的重要性，初步证据表明计算机辅助糖尿病教育在未来可以发挥更重要的作用。
