Hypertension and diabetes raellitus are interrelated diseases that, if untreated, strongly predispose to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and renal disease. More than 3 million Americans have both hypertension and diabetes, which are particularly prevalent in the socioeconomicalh/ disadvantaged. Hypertension contributes substantially to morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes. This report is an update of the 1987 working group report on hypertension and diabetes and includes important new information on the management of hypertension in people with diabetes. Although treatment of hypertension in most people with diabetes does not differ from that in people who do not have diabetes, this report outlines some special considerations relevant to the presence of both diseases. Lifestyle modification is considered as an initial treatment modality or as an adjunct to pharmacologic measures. This report also includes a discussion of the treatment of hypertension and diabetes in children, an expanded review of sexual dysfunction, and an increased emphasis on the effect of hypertension and diabetes on target organs. A treatment algorithm represents a practical guideline for the physician. Since the previous report, there has been an increased awareness, through clinical trials and pharmacologic research, of the importance of flexibility in the use of antihypertensive drugs as well as a refinement of nonpharmacologic approaches in treating people with both hypertension and diabetes.

Key Words: Evaluation, home study, patient teaching skills Patient education is an essential component of health care. However, at the end of a clinic visit or hospitalization, patients recall only about 50% of the recommendations given by the health care team.'-' Perhaps recall is no greater because health care professionals (HCPs) fail to use teaching skills known to improve instructional effectiveness and to enhance patient recall and satisfaction.'-' In addition, health care providers have identified lack of training in how to teach as one barrier to providing effective patient education. Although undergraduate and graduate cumcula may address the theoretical basis for teaching, h o p t s to teach is often overlooked or minimized."-' Practicing HCPs report that formal training is not readily available.The "Effective Patient Teaching" (EPT) program was developed to help HCPs improye their patient teaching and adherence counseling skills. The 3-day workshop consists of demonstration or modeling, practice, and feedback on use of operationally defined skills. Careful evaluations of EPT have shown significant gains in the teaching skills of medical and nursing students, as well as practicing HCPs.h."' In addition, surrogate patient recall was significantly greater when taught by EPT participants than that achieved by an untrained, matched, comparison group.. Moreover, improvements in participants' teaching skills have been shown to translate to the clinical setting 1 week and 1 month after EPT." This article describes the development and formative evaluation of a home study version of the Effective Patient Teaching course.We started out with considerable optimism about making use of the home study approach. For one thing, both telephone and written inquiries about the EPT workshop course often contained requests that EPT be taught in a selfstudy format. as did evaluations received from participants in the workshop EFT course. In addition, two thirds of the respondents to the 1988 Needs Assessment Survey of the American Association of Diabetes Educators (the AADE is a national organization fostering both professional growth and quality education 156 Boswell et al.for patients with diabetes'*) cited self-study modules as their favored method of continuing education (personal communication).We were especially impressed by a review of the literature, which indicates that programs offered as self-study courses are in demand, are feasible, and are cost-effective. Commonly cited reasons for requesting self-study programs include the lack of study time because of ever-increasing work demands, the convenience of being able to learn at one's own pace, and constraints on workshopkonference attendance because of tight budgets.l3-I5The literature also reports that completion rates for self-learning programs are generally acceptable. One self-study on the management of pressure woundsi6 showed a completion rate of 72% (compared with a 56% rate for nurses studying the same topic as an in-service program). Another study that exam...
