Health-related quality of life and self-related health in patients with type 2 diabetes: Effects of group-based rehabilitation versus individual counselling

Abstract: BackgroundType 2 diabetes can seriously affect patients' health-related quality of life and their self-rated health. Most often, evaluation of diabetes interventions assess effects on glycemic control with little consideration of quality of life. The aim of the current study was to study the effectiveness of group-based rehabilitation versus individual counselling on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and self-rated health in type 2 diabetes patients.MethodsWe randomised 143 type 2 diabetes patients to eit… Show more

“…Nevertheless, the average follow-up until now was merely 3.8 (SD 1.3) years, so inference of long-term effects, i.e., from long-standing control and diminishing carryover of pretreatment glycemic exposure, is not yet possible. Type 2 diabetes can seriously affect the patient’s quality of life, especially in the presence of diabetes-related complications (48). Bone fractures occurring on top of these altered conditions might further increase the health burden already observed in individuals with inadequate glucose control of their diabetes.…”

“…Having diabetes may influence quality of life, which may affect self-assessment of health (Vadstrup, Frølich, Perrild, Borg, & Røder, 2011). Self-rated health (SRH), as an ordinal question asking individuals to rank their health (World Health Organization, 2002), has been established as a marker of morbidity (Sheldon, Kaplan, & Salonen, 1999) and a determinant of the population's well-being throughout the literature (DeSalvo, Fan, McDonnell, & Fihn, 2005;Idler & Benyamini, 1997;Jylhä, 2009;Tsai, Ford, Li, Zhao, & Balluz, 2010).…”

“…However, such reductions are important from the clinical point of view, and may interfere in the disease prognosis. A reduction not significant of such parameters was also identified in a study that compared effectiveness between collective and individual interventions and showed improvement of clinical data for individual intervention participants (11) . Finally, it was observed a reduction on pressure levels among participants of the intervention group, both in intergroup and intragroup comparisons.…”

“…Most interventions were applied in a collective way, covering groups of people with DM. However, individual interventions with an emphasis on behavior change can generate best clinical results and quality of life, according to a study conducted in Denmark with 143 people with DM2 (11) . According to what has been stated, nursing appointment is considered an opportunity for nurses to act effectively on empowerment for self-care and for the healthcare improvement of DM patients, since it is significantly associated with glycemic control (8,12,13) .…”
