African Americans (AA) experience a disparate effect of type II diabetes (T2D). For this nurse-led pilot study, a pre-validated 6-week diabetes self-management education (DSME) program was implemented in a faith community setting and tailored to the participants' faith and culture by using short scriptural lessons, prayers, and individual sharing. Participants demonstrated improvements in fasting blood glucose (p = .042), diabetes knowledge (p = .002), and psychosocial self-efficacy (p = .001). Although generalizability of findings is limited, the structure and methods used in tailoring this DSME program could be transferable to other faith-based settings.
非裔美国人（AA）受到 II 型糖尿病（T2D）的不同影响。在这项由护士主导的试点研究中，在信仰社区环境中实施了经过预先验证的为期 6 周的糖尿病自我管理教育（DSME）计划，并通过使用简短的圣经课程、祈祷和个人分享来适应参与者的信仰和文化。参与者的空腹血糖（p =.042）、糖尿病知识（p =.002）和心理社会自我效能感（p =.001）均有所改善。尽管研究结果的普遍性有限，但这种 DSME 计划的结构和方法可以转移到其他基于信仰的环境中。
