“…Previous studies have shown a low confidence in diabetes management among healthcare professionals in hospital including junior doctors, nursing staff and pharmacists [12]. Attendance at traditional face to face continuing professional development (CPD) programs does have advantages but usually involve days away from clinical duties, and often involve travel and additional cost [13]. For time poor busy health professionals, particularly ward nursing staff, online programs are appealing and offer similar positive effect on learning compared to traditional face to face learning programs [14].…”

Background An increasing number of patients in hospital have diabetes, with most of them cared for by non-specialist staff. The effect of diabetes education for staff on patient outcomes, as well as the most effective method of staff education is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare diabetes outcomes in medical wards where nursing staff were offered one face-to-face (F2F) session followed by access to online education (online), F2F education only, or standard care (control). Methods We conducted a pilot cluster randomised controlled trial involving 16-weeks baseline/rollout followed by a 28-week post-intervention period across three medical wards (clusters) in a Sydney Teaching Hospital. The online ward provided an online competency-based diabetes education program and 1-h F2F teaching from a diabetes nurse educator (DNE), the F2F ward provided four separate 1-h teaching sessions by a DNE, with no additional sessions in the control ward. The primary outcome was length of stay (LOS); secondary outcomes included good diabetes days (GDD), hypoglycaemia and medication errors. Poisson and binary logistic regression were used to compare clusters. Results Staff attendance/completion of ≥ 2 topics was greater with online than F2F education [39/48 (81%) vs 10/33 (30%); p < 0.001]. Among the 827/881 patients, there was no difference in LOS change between online [Median(IQR) 5(2–8) to 4(2–7) days], F2F [7(4–14) to 5(3–13) days] or control wards [5(3–9) to 5(3–7) days]. GDD improved only in the online ward 4.7(2.7–7.0) to 6.0(2.3–7.0) days; p = 0.038. Total patients with hypoglycaemia and appropriately treated hypoglycaemia increased in the online ward. Conclusions The inclusion of online education increased diabetes training uptake among nursing staff. GDD and appropriate hypoglycaemia management increased in the online education wards.

“…Mas uma nota positiva deste estudo é que os prestadores ao receberem treinamento educativo criaram uma conscientização da importância da educação em diabetes o que pode levar ao desejo de treinamento adicional e atualização contínua. As evidências sugerem que a autogestão bemsucedida das pessoas com diabetes depende do nível de validação, incentivo e apoio recebido dos profissionais de saúde que prestam seus cuidados (Byrne et al, 2017).Atualmente estratégias educacionais alternativas utilizando recursos tecnológicos tem trazido muitas vantagens e está ganhando popularidade devido à sua conveniência, facilidade de uso, eficiência de tempo, potencial para grandes audiências e custos mais baixos, dinamismo e ludicidade, a exemplo da utilização dos podcasts, celulares, simuladores virtuais e jogos eletrônicos de caráter educacional(Zand;Ibrahim;Sadhu, 2018). Tanto as práticas educativas tradicionais quanto as tecnológicas visam garantir a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos.…”

ResumoA Diabetes mellitus é uma desordem metabólica com alta prevalência na população mundial.A mais comum é a diabetes mellitus do tipo 2, quando o corpo torna-se resistente à insulina ou não produz insulina suficiente resultando em redução significativa da expectativa de vida além de aumentar a utilização dos serviços de saúde. O autocuidado com a doença é complicado pela falta de adesão ao tratamento. A educação permanente em saúde surge neste contexto com o intuito de provocar mudança de atitudes e/ou comportamento permitindo a Research, Society and Development, v. 9, n. 3, e175932566, 2020 (CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v9i3.2566 2 aquisição de novos conhecimentos sobre diabetes, conscientização, qualificação e atualização dos profissionais de saúde visando a melhoria na qualidade de vida dos diabéticos. Este artigo de revisão visa demonstrar a importância da realização da educação em diabetes em pacientes e profissionais da saúde, bem como dos efeitos benéficos das mudanças nos hábitos de vida em pacientes portadores de diabetes. Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura utilizando dados da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e da internet. Foram analisados 106 artigos e selecionados 18 artigos que respondiam aos objetivos propostos deste estudo. A educação em saúde é reconhecida como parte fundamental no tratamento de pacientes diabéticos. O processo educativo possibilita aos pacientes acesso a ferramentas para desenvolvimento de habilidades em relação ao autocuidado, com vistas a aumentar o nível de conhecimento para o manejo da doença. A educação permanente promove mudanças nos hábitos de vida que incluem dieta saudável, utilização de medicação adequada e a prática de exercícios físicos contínuos, reduzindo os riscos de desenvolvimento de complicações associadas à diabetes ou outras comorbidades associadas. Implementar mudanças no estilo de vida destes pacientes se torna desafiador mas imprescindível para a garantia da qualidade de vida. Palavras-chave: Diabetes mellitus; Qualidade de vida; Estilo de vida. AbstractDiabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder with high prevalence in the world population. The most common is type 2 diabetes mellitus when the body becomes insulin resistant or does not produce enough insulin resulting in significantly reduced life expectancy and increased health care utilization. Self-care with the disease is complicated by the lack of adherence to treatment. Permanent health education emerges in this context in order to bring about change in attitudes and/or behavior allowing the acquisition of new knowledge about diabetes, awareness, qualification and updating of health professionals aiming at improving the quality of life of diabetics. This review article aims to demonstrate the importance of diabetes education in patients and health professionals, as well as the beneficial effects of changes in lifestyle in patients with diabetes.3 process pr...

Introduction: In health care, cost-effectiveness analysis evaluates changes in health outcomes as a function of costs. The cost-effectiveness of continuing professional development for health care providers has not been historically well characterized despite substantial investment. This literature review identified publications considering the costs and cost-effectiveness of accredited continuing medical education activities. Methods: Searches were conducted for English language records in PubMed and the gray literature using a 10-year lookback period from March 10, 2023. Search terms included concepts related to continuing medical education, cost, effect, and utilization. One reviewer conducted title/abstract screening, full-text review, and data extraction, with direction and adjudication of search and screening concepts provided by the lead advisor. Publications were categorized as related to costs of an educational intervention (Concept 1) and/or the impact of education on health care costs (Concept 2). Results were summarized using descriptive statistics. Results: A total of 668 database records were screened, 125 (19%) underwent full-text review, and 25 of 125 (20%) were accepted; 7 of 351 (2%) gray literature sources were accepted for a total of 32 included records. The most common reason for rejection was not being an accredited activity. Of the 32 records, 27 (84%) were related to Concept 1 only, 3 (9%) to Concept 2 only, and 2 (6%) to both Concepts 1 and 2. Approximately half (n = 19, 59%) mentioned costs without supporting data. Discussion: These findings show that considerations of cost and cost-effectiveness are rare in the accredited continuing medical education literature, which may limit how the value of continuing medical education is characterized.
