Nurse‐Led Interventions on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Management for Minority Ethnic Groups in World Health Organisation European Region: A Scoping Review
Scoping review demonstrates improved self-care knowledge and behavior change in minority ethnic groups, highlighting the clinical value of culturally tailored nurse-led programs.
Key Points
To map and synthesize available evidence regarding nurse-led interventions for type 2 diabetes mellitus management among minority ethnic groups in the WHO European region.
Conducted a scoping review following Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology across 6 electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Sabinet, Scopus, EBSCOhost) and 2 search engines.
Identified 322 eligible records and performed title, abstract, and full-text screening using the Rayyan web application based on defined population, concept, and context criteria.
Included 14 studies published between 2006 and 2021 (4 quantitative, 4 qualitative, 4 reviews, and 2 mixed methods), with the majority originating from the UK (n = 7).
Intervention modalities included culturally sensitive approaches (n = 5), self-management (n = 3), community-based enhanced care packages (n = 2), psychological support (n = 1), web and mHealth tools (n = 1), group diabetes education (n = 1), and lifestyle programs (n = 1).
Nurse-led strategies improved patient self-care knowledge, behavioral modification, and empowerment for non-pharmacological lifestyle changes, while also strengthening nursing expertise in diabetes care.
