THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SLEF-CARE ENHACEMENT BASED INTERVENTION AMONG TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract

Background: The failure of glycemic control and a high incidence of complications among type 2 diabetes were closely related to poor self-care behavior. Needed an effective intervention to maintain glycemic control through enhancing self-care behavior among type 2 diabetes patients. Object: This study aims to conduct a systematic review of applying the interventions based on self-care enhancement among type 2 diabetes patients. Methode: The study design used a systematic review through searching credible journal databases using related keywords. The process of identifying articles using the PRISMA  systematic review and synthesis of articles using the BJI assessment. Results: The results show differences in findings related to the effectiveness of interventions on HbA1c values and self-care activity. The majority of studies (n=5) show that interventions were effective in both reducing HbA1c values and increasing self-care activity. Whereas, one study show that the intervention was only effective in reducing HbA1c values, and other studies (n=2) also showed that interventions was only effective in increasing self-care activity. Conclusion: The effectiveness of these interventions is supported by a structured personal approach through using a combination of effective educational methods, and also the availability of social support (including family and community).
