Therapeutic education is one of the pillars of the approach to diabetes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of group therapeutic patient education in 15 people diagnosed with diabetes, with poor metabolic control, inmates of the Madrid III-Valdemoro Penitentiary Center (Madrid), whose population is exclusively male.
Quasi-experimental study based on 4 training sessions aimed at a group of 15 people with diabetes and poor metabolic control. The intervention was carried out by 4 health professionals from the center. An evaluation of knowledge before and after the training and an assessment of the analytical and anthropometric parameters 5 months after the training were carried out. An anonymous self-evaluation questionnaire was also completed by the participants.
After the intervention, a statistically significant reduction in weight, abdominal perimeter, glycosylated hemoglobin and diastolic blood pressure was obtained. The remaining parameters decreased non-significantly. The level of diabetes knowledge also improved significantly.
The group intervention had a high potency in relation to the introduction of short-term changes in the group of patients with poor metabolic control.
治疗教育是糖尿病治疗方法的基石之一。本研究的目的是评估在马德里 III-Valdemoro 监狱中心（马德里）的 15 名代谢控制不良的糖尿病患者中进行小组治疗性患者教育的效果，该中心的囚犯全部为男性。
这是一项基于 4 次培训课程的准实验研究，针对 15 名代谢控制不良的糖尿病患者。干预由中心的 4 名卫生专业人员进行。在培训前后进行知识评估，并在培训 5 个月后评估分析和人体测量参数。参与者还完成了一份匿名的自我评估问卷。
干预后，体重、腹围、糖化血红蛋白和舒张压均显著降低。其余参数虽无显著下降，但有所降低。糖尿病知识水平也显著提高。
小组干预对代谢控制不良的患者群体引入短期变化具有很高的效力。
