Does an educational communication intervention using SMDia software improve self-care knowledge, activities, quality of life, and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes?
A digital application-based educational communication intervention significantly improves self-care knowledge, activities, quality of life, and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Loi et al. (2024) conducted an RCT in type 2 diabetes (n=240). SMDia software educational communication vs. control group was evaluated on self-care knowledge, self-care activities, quality of life, and glycemic control. An educational communication intervention using SMDia software improved self-care activities by 167.8% and increased the rate of patients achieving HbA1c targets by 31.7% over 24 weeks.
