“…Pooled estimates of five RCTs demonstrated that educational interventions significantly improved physical function and mental health and were associated with a decrease in bodily pain [31]. Also, a pooled effect of five pre-versus post-educational interventions showed significantly improved social function, vitality, mental health and a decrease in role limitations due to physical problems [31]. Notably, in the ten identified studies the proportion of non-Whites ranged between 40 and 70%, suggesting that these findings can be relevant also to other ethnic groups.…”

Ethnic minorities living in high-income countries usually exhibit a greater risk of developing diabetes along with higher morbidity and mortality rates. We evaluated the effectiveness of interventions to improve glycaemic control in ethnic minority groups. Results of major controlled trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses were included in the review. Only 1/47 studies addressing diet and exercise interventions reported details on the ethnicity of the studied population. Self-management education was successful if associated with increased self-efficacy; delivered over a longer period; of high intensity; culturally tailored; and when using community educators. Strategies adopted in community-gathering places, family-based, multifaceted, and those tackling the social context were likely to be more effective. A positive relationship was found between social support and self-management behaviour as well as quality of life, but there is little evidence about the impact of organizational changes within health-care services on diabetes control. More research is needed to strengthen the evidence on effective strategies for response to diabetes in ethnic minorities. Also, there is a need to take into account diabetes beliefs and communication difficulties, as well as potential protective factors. Globally, many health-care systems are inadequately equipped to improve diabetes prevention and disease outcomes in these communities.

Purpose: There is paucity of information about quality of life (QOL) studies among patients with arthritis and diabetes mellitus in developing countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate quality of life of patients with arthritis (AR) and diabetes mellitus (DM 15.98 (SD=2.75;). The least mean OQOL score (moderately dissatisfied) was recorded for patients with AR co-existing with other chronic illnesses with a mean OQOL scores of 8.92 (SD=3.97;. There was statistically significant difference between the OQOL of healthy subjects and patients with arthritis and diabetes mellitus (p<0.0001). A strong association also exists between OQOL and age, marital status, employment and gender (p<0.05

“…The findings regarding improvement of HRQoL are inconsistent in recent trials. However, recent meta-analyses of interventions that led to improved HRQoL in patients with type 2 diabetes also demonstrated that a variety of interventions could improve HRQoL, but that the effects varied with different treatment concepts [25,29]. Meta-analyses of behavioral and educational interventions focused primarily on metabolic control, weight, and physical activity [26 ,27,28,30], whereas recent research also gives evidence of improvements in terms of self-efficacy and psychological variables.…”

The Effects of Interventions on Health-Related Quality of Life Among Persons With Diabetes

Abstract: A variety of interventions can improve HRQL among adults with diabetes, but the magnitude of effects varied with the interventions. The mechanism of these changes needs to be further examined in the future research.
