About

This study will be a randomized controlled trial aimed at examining the effectiveness of the in e-health education on shared care program for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The experiment will be conducted over 1 year at a regional hospital in Taiwan. The research subjects will be excluded 160 patients with T2DM. Subjects assigned to an experimental group will receive the integrated care program, whereas those assigned to a control group will receive routine care. The membership of e-health education on shared care program is established by different type's professionals including diabetes physicians, pharmacists, dietitians and diabetes health teacher. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of subjects in both groups will be measured at three time points including 1 month before the experiment, and 2 and 5 months after the experiment. The self-management conditions and quality of life of the subjects will be also recorded using relevant scales.

This study will be a randomized controlled trial aimed at examining the effectiveness of the in e-health education on shared care program for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The experiment will be conducted over 1 year at a regional hospital in Taiwan. The research subjects will be excluded 160 patients with T2DM. Subjects assigned to an experimental group will receive the integrated care program, whereas those assigned to a control group will receive routine care. The membership of e-health education on shared care program is established by different type's professionals including diabetes physicians, pharmacists, dietitians and diabetes health teacher. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of subjects in both groups will be measured at three time points including 1 month before the experiment, and 2 and 5 months after the experiment. The self-management conditions and quality of life of the subjects will be also recorded using relevant scales. SPSS+ 22.0 statistics software will be used for a statistical analysis, which will be presented in percentages, means, and standard deviations. Additionally, the chi-square test will be also to examine the homogeneity of both groups. Generalized estimating equations will be used to analyze repeated measurements in order to compare the efficacy of improving HbA1c, self-management, and quality of life. We anticipate that the results of this study will provide the e-health education on shared care program to clinical nursing staff to assist patients with T2DM in controlling their blood sugar as well as to improve their self-management and quality of life.
