The diabetes care professionals are provided the self-management programme to strengthen the awareness and importance of self-management in diabetes care.

Effectiveness of health education by telephone follow‐up on self‐efficacy among discharged patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A randomised control trial

“…This study demonstrated that the HETF improved the self‐efficacy of RA patients, even when considering the time cumulative effect and the patients who were lost to follow‐up. Our results were similar to the results of Koberich and Wu (Koberich, Lohrmann, Mittag, & Dassen, ; Wu, Liang, Lee, Yu, & Kao, ). Health education has been widely applied to the learning of knowledge and skills about self‐management.…”

Effectiveness of self‐management programmes in diabetes management: A systematic review

“…None of the included studies scored the maximum quality score of 9 points. Among the 14 reviewed studies, one (Trief et al, ) had a methodological quality score of 8, one (Wattana, Srisuphan, Pothiban, & Upchurch, ) had a score of 6, four (Atak, ; Hawkins, ; Moriyama et al, ; Wu et al, ) had 5, two (Siminerio, Ruppert, Emerson, Solano, & Piatt, ; Wu, Liang, Lee, Yu, & Kao, ) had 2, and the remaining 6 studies (Clarke, ; Johnson et al, ; Karakurt & Kas¸ıkçı, ; Landim, Zanetti, Santos, Andrade, & Teixeira, ; McEwen et al, ; Ve'g, Rosenqvist, & Sarkadi, ) had a quality score of 1 (Table ).…”

“…A wide range of interventions used in improving self‐management skills among people with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes self‐management programmes of reviewed studies had patient education delivered in individual and group sessions (Clarke, ; Karakurt & Kas¸ıkçı, ; Landim et al, ; McEwen et al, ; Siminerio et al, ; Wattana et al, ) on diabetes self‐care (Wu et al, ), pathology, healthy lifestyle habits, medication use and adherence (Johnson et al, ), self‐management behaviour, diet, exercise, complications of weight control, and foot care (Atak, ).…”

“…Mode of delivering intervention was through face‐to‐face visits (Johnson et al, ), telephone follow‐up (Moriyama et al, ; Wu et al, ; Wu et al, ), videophone calls (Hawkins, ), home visit (Wattana et al, ), and tele‐visits (Trief et al, ).…”

Family Harmony: Reconciling Individual and Collective Responsibility in the Care of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Korean Middle-Aged Americans

“…Guidelines to control blood glucose levels include self-care activities such as on-going blood glucose monitoring, medication administration, nutritional therapy, and increasing activity levels [2]. According to illness management frameworks, self-care and treatment choices are heavily reliant on an individual's decision-making that involves personal self-efficacy, the resources to manage diabetes, balancing social responsibilities, and desiring normalcy [3][4][5]. While the nature of DM and management generally require personal motivation, self-knowledge, goals and decision-making, which are strong, individualistic or independent ideals originated from a biomedical perspective [6,7], the personal management models may not fully explain the experience of immigrants to the United States [8] or take into consideration of the traditional KAI culture and efforts to maintain family and community cohesion [9].…”
