About this study

Official title: A Client-Driven Intervention to Support Self-Management Among Community-Living Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes and Multiple Chronic Conditions

The overall purpose of this research is to examine and compare the effectiveness and costs of a community-based intervention to support self-management with usual primary care for older adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and multiple chronic conditions and their family caregivers. Once the study is complete, the investigators will be able to determine if there is any measurable difference in self-care management between usual care plus the intervention versus usual care alone.

Read the detailed description

Research Goal

To examine the comparative effectiveness and costs of a community-based intervention to support self-management with usual primary care for older adults with T2DM and Multiple Chronic Conditions and their family caregivers.

Objectives

  1. To determine if a 6-month, IP, community-based intervention improve self-management compared with usual primary care services?
  2. To compare the effectiveness of the intervention on HRQoL, physical activity, nutritional status, depression, anxiety, diabetes parameters (blood glucose levels [HbA1c, hypoglycemic episodes]), diabetes-related complications, number of vascular events, social support number of falls, fall risk and medication safety with usual primary care services?
  3. To determine the effectiveness of the intervention on HRQoL of family caregivers compared with usual primary care?
  4. To assess whether or not the intervention improves clinical practice behaviours?
  5. To determine the 6-month costs of use of health services of the intervention compared with usual care, from a social perspective?
  6. To identify which subgroups of older adults with T2DM and MCC benefit most from the intervention?
  7. To determine the effectiveness of the intervention based on sex/gender and region?
  8. To determine the overall feasibility and acceptability of an IP community-based health promotion intervention and what can be identified as barriers and facilitators to implementation?

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities

    The SDSCA is a multidimensional measure of diabetes self-management with adequate internal and test-retest reliability, and evidence of validity and sensitivity to change. The revised SDSCA consists of items that assess the following aspects of the diabetes regimen: general and specific diet, exercise, blood-glucose testing, foot care, and smoking. Scores are calculated for each of these five regimen areas. This data is collected by the interventionists at each visit.

    Measured: Every two months from study onset until the end of study (6 months from baseline)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. SF12v2

    This measurement is used to assess Health related quality of Life. This survey consists of 12 questions that measure functional health and well-being from the client's perspective. It provides scores for eight health domains (physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, mental health), and psychometrically-based physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores

    Measured: Baseline and end of study (6 months from baseline)
