Nursing Led Interventions Regarding Self-Management Of Type 2 Diabetes In Community Of Asian Countries: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a highly prevalent chronic disease associated with serious and costly complications largely
the result of obesity and physical inactivity. Around 387 million people live with DM worldwide, and type 2 diabetes
mellitus (T2DM) is the most common comprising 90% of those with diabetes. The presented meta-analysis was
developed in response to the publication of several studies addressing Nursing led Interventions regarding selfmanagement of Type 2 diabetes in community. Online database search was performed in Pubmed, Cinhal, Medline
and relevant studies were included with no language restriction. Following on from this, databases were accessed
to enable a more in depth search of the literature using key words and Boolean operators to generate articles
relevant to the topic. These articles were filtered using an inclusion /exclusion criteria in order to refine the results
to a manageable level or eight articles. These 8 articles were analyzed and the results reported that the vaccine
hesitancy and the vaccine acceptance showed high heterogeneity. It has been observed that people with T2DM
undertake adequate self‐management to optimize blood glucose levels which may reduce and delay diabetes‐
related complications. Therefore, DSME is necessary to support people with T2DM to develop effective diabetes
self‐management skills. This review provides some evidence that Nursing led interventions are effective in improving
glycemic control for people with T2DM.
