Abstract

Aim: To determine whether a nurse telephone follow‐up service could improve the level of adherence to a diabetes therapeutic regimen for patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A total of 61 patients attended a 3 day diabetes self‐care program at the Iranian Diabetes Society. They were randomly assigned to one of the experimental or control groups. A telephone follow‐up program was applied to the experimental group for 3 months, twice per week for the first month and weekly for the second and third months. The data‐collection instruments included a data sheet to record the glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level and a questionnaire. The data were collected at baseline and after 12 weeks. Results: There were significant differences between the control and the experimental groups in their adherence to a diabetic diet, exercise, foot care, blood glucose monitoring, and medication‐taking. Also, the HbA1c levels differed significantly between the two groups after 3 months. Conclusion: A nurse‐led telephone follow‐up was effective in enhancing the level of adherence to a diabetes therapeutic regimen, such that the HbA1c level decreased.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
