This article describes the design and implementation of an online diabetes self-management intervention for a sample of inner-city African Americans with diabetes. Study participants were randomly assigned to the treatment (26) and control (21) conditions. The results indicate that treatment group participants were more likely to achieve positive outcomes in terms of lowered hemoglobin A1c and body mass index measurements than were control group members. These findings support the development of telehealth interventions to promote effective chronic disease management in medically underserved communities.
本文描述了一项针对市中心患有糖尿病的非裔美国人样本的在线糖尿病自我管理干预措施的设计与实施。研究参与者被随机分配到治疗组(26人)和对照组(21人)。结果表明,与对照组成员相比,治疗组参与者在降低糖化血红蛋白和体重指数测量值方面更有可能取得积极成果。这些发现支持了远程医疗干预措施的发展,以促进医疗服务不足社区的有效慢性病管理。
