The purpose of this study was to evaluate a 16-week, reverse-integrated care (bringing primary care interventions/services into the psychiatric setting) behavioral and educational group intervention for individuals with serious mental illness and diabetes.
The primary outcome was change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Secondary outcomes included body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, lipid levels, physical activity, diabetes knowledge, and self-care.
Thirty-five participants attended at least one group and were included in a modified intent-to-treat analysis. From baseline to week 16, HbA1c improved, from 7.5±1.6 to 7.1±1.4, p=0.01, and BMI improved, from 33.3±3.8 to 32.9±4.1, p<0.001, as did measures of diabetes knowledge and self-care. One-year follow-up in a subset of participants showed no evidence of rebound in HbA1c.
This 16-week behavioral and educational group intervention resulted in improvements in glycemic control, BMI, diabetes knowledge, and self-care. The results warrant larger-scale, controlled trial testing of this intervention to improve diabetes-related health outcomes in those with serious mental illness.
本研究旨在评估一项为期 16 周的反向综合护理(将初级保健干预措施/服务引入精神科环境)行为和教育团体干预,以治疗患有严重精神疾病和糖尿病的个体。
主要结局指标为糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)的变化。次要结局指标包括体重指数(BMI)、血压、血脂水平、身体活动、糖尿病知识和自我护理。
35 名参与者至少参加了一次小组活动,并进行了改良意向治疗分析。从基线到第 16 周,HbA1c 从 7.5±1.6 降至 7.1±1.4,p=0.01,BMI 从 33.3±3.8 降至 32.9±4.1,p<0.001,糖尿病知识和自我护理的测量结果也得到改善。在部分参与者的一年随访中,HbA1c 没有反弹的证据。
这项为期 16 周的行为和教育团体干预措施可改善血糖控制、BMI、糖尿病知识和自我护理。这些结果证明需要更大规模的对照试验来测试这种干预措施,以改善患有严重精神疾病的个体的糖尿病相关健康结局。
