Effects of Visiting Nurses' Individually Tailored Education for Low‐Income Adult Diabetic Patients in Korea

Abstract

Tailored education effectively improved the patients' knowledge of diabetes and self-management. Therefore, regular, individually tailored education on a long-term basis by visiting nurses can provide essential education to low-income adult diabetic patients for maintaining self-management.

Health education programmes to improve foot self‐care practices and foot problems among older people with diabetes: a systematic review

“…The studies were conducted in eight countries: five studies were conducted in the United States (Dettori et al ., ; Borges & Ostwald, ; Tang et al ., ; Williams et al ., ; Aikens et al ., ), three in the United Kingdom (Waxman et al ., ; Deakin et al ., ; Lincoln et al ., ) and one each in Taiwan (Chen et al ., ), Japan (Fujiwara et al ., ), Australia (Baba et al ., ), Egypt (Saleh et al ., ), Spain (Calle‐Pascual et al ., ) and Korea (Ko et al ., ).…”

“…teaching, discussion, assessment, demonstration, home visit, videotaped and phone call) and written (e.g. pictorial form, booklet, leaflet, handbook and newsletter) (Calle‐Pascual et al ., ; Waxman et al ., ; Dettori et al ., ; Deakin et al ., ; Borges & Ostwald, ; Lincoln et al ., ; Chen et al ., ; Fujiwara et al ., ; Ko et al ., ; Saleh et al ., ; Tang et al ., ; Baba et al ., ; Williams et al ., ). Only one study implemented one technique of teaching including technology and telecommunication: mobile health interactive voice response (Aikens et al ., ).…”

“…Four articles were reported as RCTs (Waxman et al ., ; Deakin et al ., ; Borges & Ostwald, ; Lincoln et al ., ), three were of non‐randomised controlled trial (NRCT) design (Calle‐Pascual et al ., ; Fujiwara et al ., ; Baba et al ., ), six were of non‐randomised case series design (Dettori et al ., ; Chen et al ., ; Ko et al ., ; Tang et al ., ; Williams et al ., ; Aikens et al ., ), and one was an NRS, for which the type of the design could not be determined, as the information regarding the control group was unclear (Saleh et al ., ).…”

“…Eight studies concentrated specially on diabetes foot self‐care education programmes (Calle‐Pascual et al ., ; Waxman et al ., ; Borges & Ostwald, ; Lincoln et al ., ; Chen et al ., ; Fujiwara et al ., ; Saleh et al ., ; Baba et al ., ). Six studies were conducted on general measures of diabetes self‐care education programmes, such as foot care aspect (Dettori et al ., ; Deakin et al ., ; Ko et al ., ; Tang et al ., ; Williams et al ., ; Aikens et al ., ). Only three studies reported the application of theories into their research: self‐efficacy (Borges & Ostwald, ), social cognitive theory (Williams et al ., ) and empowerment and discovery learning theories (Deakin et al ., ).…”

The effect of an educational program using a group-based workshop to improve long-term care adherence in diabetic patients at risk of foot lesions

“…[10] In addition, face-to-face education is a very effective procedure for the transmission of knowledge on methods to prevent diabetic foot complications. [11] However, individualized face-to-face education requires certain resources which are not available in every health care system. Dorresteijn et al (2014) [12] reviewed the evidence regarding the effects of patient education on the prevention of foot ulcers in patients with diabetes mellitus.…”
