Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study analyzed the effects of diabetes interventions published in journals of nursing, medical and public health, to suggest directions for future research.
Methods: A comprehensive search of three databases was undertaken (Korean studies, Riss4U, RICHIS) using research terms such as "diabetes", "nursing", "public health", "intervention" and "program". One hundred fifty four original articles were retrieved and 21 articles were finally analyzed. The analyzed articles satisfied the inclusion criteria and their effect size was calculated.
Results: Most studies about diabetes intervention were published form 2001. 2005 (57.1%). The psycho-social variables, ’self-efficacy’ and ’self-care’ presented good effects on exercise or exercise prescription intervention. In addition, the physiological variables, ’fasting blood sugar’ and ’glycosylated glucose’ presented good effects on the interventions using four more elements or the interventions held in a public health center.
Conclusion: Further research should consider the essential elements that benefit diabetes patients’ behaviors or physiological indicators.
