To investigate and to compare the effectiveness of a nurse short message service (SMS) by cellular phone and telephone follow-up by nurse on Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
Semi experimental study consisted of 77 patients with type 2 diabetes that randomly assigned to two groups: telephone follow-up (n = 39) and short message service (n = 38). Telephone interventions were applied by researcher for 3 months. SMS group that received message daily for 12 weeks. Data gathering instrument include data sheet to record HbA1c and questionnaire that consisted of demographic characteristics. Data gathering was performed at two points: initial the study and after 12 weeks. Data analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics methods with SPSS version 11.5.
Demographic variables were compared and all of them were homogenous. Results of this study showed that both interventions had significant mean changes in HbA1c; for the telephone group (p = 0.001), with a mean change of -0.93% and for the SMS group (p = 0.001), with a mean change of -1.01%.
Finding of this research showed that intervention using SMS via cellular phone and nurse-led-telephone follow up improved HbA1c for three months in type 2 diabetic patients and it can consider as alternative methods for diabetes control.
调查并比较护士通过手机短信服务（SMS）和电话随访对2型糖尿病患者糖化血红蛋白（HbA1c）水平的影响。
半实验性研究，纳入77例2型糖尿病患者，随机分为两组：电话随访组（n = 39）和短信服务组（n = 38）。研究人员进行了3个月的电话干预。短信服务组每天接收短信，为期12周。数据收集工具包括记录HbA1c的数据表和包含人口统计学特征的问卷。数据收集在两个时间点进行：研究开始时和12周后。使用SPSS 11.5版本的描述性和推断性统计方法进行数据分析。
对人口统计学变量进行了比较，所有变量均具有同质性。本研究结果表明，两种干预措施均使HbA1c有显著的平均变化；电话随访组（p = 0.001），平均变化为-0.93%，短信服务组（p = 0.001），平均变化为-1.01%。
本研究结果表明，通过手机短信服务和护士主导的电话随访进行干预，可使2型糖尿病患者的HbA1c在三个月内得到改善，可将其视为糖尿病控制的替代方法。
