This study aimed to assess the effects of web-based education on blood glucose control, self-care and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes.
A single-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted in accordance with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) checklist at a university hospital in Turkey. The study included 89 patients with type 2 diabetes who were randomly divided into an intervention group (44) and a control group (45). Participants in the intervention group participated in a 3-month web-based education programme.
The findings indicated that there were no significant differences in sociodemographic characteristics and illness features between the intervention and control groups, and both were homogeneous. A statistically significant decrease of 0.71 was observed in the HbA1c (%) level of the intervention group following web-based education. Following web-based education, there was a significant difference in body mass index (kg/m) and waist circumferences (cm) between the intervention and control groups. The intervention group displayed significantly improved self-care and quality of life over the 3-month period (p < 0.05).
This study suggests that web-based education can enhance the self-care and quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes.
本研究旨在评估基于网络的教育对 2 型糖尿病患者血糖控制、自我护理和生活质量的影响。
在土耳其的一所大学医院，按照 CONSORT 清单进行了一项单盲随机对照试验。该研究纳入了 89 例 2 型糖尿病患者，他们被随机分为干预组（44 例）和对照组（45 例）。干预组的参与者参加了为期 3 个月的基于网络的教育计划。
研究结果表明，干预组和对照组在社会人口统计学特征和疾病特征方面没有显著差异，且两组均具有同质性。基于网络的教育后，干预组的 HbA1c（%）水平显著下降了 0.71。经过基于网络的教育后，干预组和对照组的体重指数（kg/m）和腰围（cm）存在显著差异。干预组在 3 个月的时间内自我护理和生活质量显著改善（p<0.05）。
本研究表明，基于网络的教育可以提高 2 型糖尿病患者的自我护理和生活质量。
