While integrated care for diabetes mellitus type 2 has achieved good results in terms of intermediate clinical and process outcomes, the evidence-based knowledge on its implementation is scarce, and insights generalisable to other settings therefore remain limited.
This study protocol provides a description of the design and methodology of a mixed methods study on the implementation of integrated care for type 2 diabetes. The aim of the proposed research is to investigate the mechanisms by which and the context in which integrated care for type 2 diabetes has been implemented, which outcomes have been achieved and how the context and mechanisms have affected the outcomes.
This article describes a convergent parallel mixed methods research design, including a systematic literature review on the implementation of integrated care for type 2 diabetes as well as a case study on two Dutch best practices on integrated care for type 2 diabetes.
The implementation of integrated care for diabetes type 2 is an under-researched area. Insights from this study could be applied to other settings as well as other chronic conditions to strengthen the evidence on the implementation of integrated care.
虽然 2 型糖尿病的综合护理在中间临床和过程结果方面取得了良好的效果,但其实践的循证知识仍然很少,因此可推广到其他环境的见解仍然有限。
本研究方案提供了一项关于 2 型糖尿病综合护理实施情况的混合方法研究的设计和方法描述。拟议研究的目的是调查实施 2 型糖尿病综合护理的机制和背景,以及已经取得的结果,以及环境和机制如何影响结果。
本文描述了一种收敛并行混合方法研究设计,包括对 2 型糖尿病综合护理实施情况的系统文献综述,以及对两种荷兰 2 型糖尿病综合护理最佳实践的案例研究。
2 型糖尿病的综合护理实施是一个研究不足的领域。本研究的结果可以应用于其他环境以及其他慢性疾病,以加强综合护理实施的证据。
