Diabetes is a common chronic disease that requires a long-term regimen. However, the management of diabetes by telenursing is limited and inconclusive.
To determine the effectiveness of telenursing on control in diabetes. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
We searched electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library. Studies comparing telenursing with usual care in diabetes patients were included.
A total of 17 randomized controlled trials were identified. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) dates were pooled using a random effects meta-analysis method, followed by subgroup analyses to examine heterogeneity. The meta-analysis showed that the use of telenursing (vs. usual care) was associated with a significant reduction in HbA1c levels compared to usual care, with a pooled 0.68% (95% CI: 0.33-1.03, p = 0.0001; I = 95%). For the secondary outcome, the SMD of body mass index (BMI) was -0.25% (95% CI: -0.81 to 0.32%, p = 0.39), with no statistically significant change; the fasting blood sugar (FBS) SMD was -0.19% (95% CI: 0.20 to 1.01, p = 0.003), with a statistically significant change; the total cholesterol (TC) SMD was -0.09% (95% CI: -0.03 to 0.21, p = 0.12), with no statistically significant change.
Telenursing, as a useful tool for patient education and behavioral interventions, can help diabetes patients to improve their glycemic control. However, more studies on up-to-date and cost-effective technologies are needed.
糖尿病是一种常见的慢性病,需要长期治疗。然而,远程护理在糖尿病管理中的应用效果有限,结论尚不明确。
评估远程护理在糖尿病患者血糖控制中的应用效果。我们进行了系统评价和荟萃分析。
我们检索了电子数据库,包括 PubMed、Embase、Web of Science 和 Cochrane Library,纳入了比较远程护理与常规护理对糖尿病患者影响的随机对照试验。
共纳入 17 项随机对照试验。采用随机效应荟萃分析方法对糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)数据进行汇总,然后进行亚组分析以检验异质性。荟萃分析结果显示,与常规护理相比,远程护理可显著降低 HbA1c 水平,差异有统计学意义(加权均数差为-0.68%,95%可信区间:-0.33%至-1.03%,p=0.0001;I²=95%)。次要结局方面,体质指数(BMI)的标准化均数差(SMD)为-0.25%(95%可信区间:-0.81%至 0.32%,p=0.39),差异无统计学意义;空腹血糖(FBS)的 SMD 为-0.19%(95%可信区间:0.20%至 1.01%,p=0.003),差异有统计学意义;总胆固醇(TC)的 SMD 为-0.09%(95%可信区间:-0.03%至 0.21%,p=0.12),差异无统计学意义。
远程护理作为一种患者教育和行为干预的有用工具,可以帮助糖尿病患者改善血糖控制。然而,需要更多关于最新、更具成本效益的技术的研究。
