Personalising the management of diabetes care in non-English speaking Australian adults with diabetic retinopathy

减轻非英语澳大利亚人糖尿病和糖尿病视网膜病变的公共卫生负担是卫生保健提供者、研究人员和卫生政策制定者面临的主要挑战。除了改善自我保健、眼睛健康和生活质量外，这一干预措施还具有为澳大利亚社区节省大量资金的巨大潜力。它还将提供一种新颖有效的糖尿病管理方案，并有助于未来与人员、资源和资金分配有关的卫生政策，用于糖尿病、眼科保健和康复。该项目将提高现有糖尿病教育工作者的技能，并有助于在三级眼科保健服务和初级保健机构之间建立更密切的护理协调。

Reducing the public health burden of diabetes and diabetic retinopathy for non-English speaking Australians is a major challenge for health care providers, researchers, and health policy makers. In addition to improving self care, eye health, and quality of life, this intervention has considerable potential to deliver substantial savings to the Australian community. It will also provide a novel and valid diabetes management program and contribute to future health policies related to personnel, resources and funding allocated to diabetes, eye care, and rehabilitation. This project will raise the skill of existing diabetes educators and serve to generate closer coordination of care between tertiary eye care services and primary care settings.
