本研究的目的是评估小组干预在提高糖尿病自我管理相关知识、控制感和行为方面的有效性。干预措施包括糖尿病自我管理的教育内容，以及对糖尿病患者生活的态度，感受和动机的讨论。作者将志愿者随机分为参与小组学习活动的干预组和接受糖尿病自我护理书籍的对照组。在每次干预前后通过电话进行调查，并评估各组之间随时间变化的差异。与对照组相比，小组活动的参与者报告了所有三个结果的显着变化，调整了两组之间的人口统计学差异。由于促进学习课程不需要经过临床培训的人员，这种类型的干预可以扩大糖尿病患者可用的资源。
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a small group intervention in improving knowledge, feeling of control, and behaviors related to selfmanagement of diabetes. The intervention includes educational content on diabetes self-management as well as discussion of attitudes, feelings, and motivations about living with diabetes. The authors randomized volunteers into an intervention group that participated in the small-group learning activity and a control group that received a diabetes self-care book. A survey was conducted by telephone before and after each intervention and the difference in change over time between the groups was assessed for each outcome. Compared to the control group, participants in the small-group activity reported significant changes on all three outcomes adjusting for demographic differences between the groups. Because facilitating the learning session does not require clinically trained personnel, this type of intervention could broaden the resources available to people with diabetes.
