The study purpose was to evaluate the feasibility of a chronic disease self management/case management intervention for adults experiencing homelessness and diabetes and the ability to retain subjects.
Participants with type 2 diabetes were recruited at a homeless clinic and a subset received the intervention. Analysis included calculating a retention rate and evaluating the intervention implementation process.
Of the nine participants, five were retained for 12 weeks and two of three participants completed the full intervention.
Study retention is feasible for adults experiencing homelessness. Further intervention refinement is needed to address relevancy of content and time constraints.
本研究的目的是评估针对无家可归且患有糖尿病的成年人的慢性病自我管理/病例管理干预措施的可行性以及留住受试者的能力。
在一家无家可归者诊所招募了2型糖尿病患者，其中一部分接受了干预措施。分析包括计算留存率并评估干预措施的实施过程。
在九名参与者中，五名参与者持续参与了12周，三名参与者中有两名完成了全部干预措施。
对于无家可归的成年人来说，留住受试者是可行的。需要进一步完善干预措施，以解决内容相关性和时间限制问题。
