Abstract

Background:
Diabetes is a relatively common chronic disease which its prevalence has increased steadily. It can be treated by the aid of training, diet, exercise and medication.
Objectives: In this review, the role of medicinal plants in the treatment of diabetes, benefits and harms that it might have during treatment, and the essential points of these drugs should be considered, has been discussed.
Description: Currently, several drugs have been developed to reduce high blood sugar. But due to lack of complete remission of the disease with existing drugs, willingness to use alternative and traditional treatments has increased. So using alternative medicine based on herbal therapies should be considered.
Conclusion: Animal studies and some human studies have been done on some of these plants and blood glucose reducing effects has been showed. Although some traditional healing tests and modern scientific studies have been confirmed, the need for more studies in humans for medical prescriptions is essential. Therefore, further research to determine the mechanism, interaction effects, efficacy and safety of medicinal plants and herbal active ingredients potentially useful in the treatment of this disease, seems to be necessary. Thus, the traditional and indigenous medical practices can be used in the country, alongside the new methods, standalone.

Abstract

  Introduction : Diabetes is a chronic disease, persisting throughout one’s life. This condition has direct and indirect impacts on the quality of life (QOL) of diabetic patients. The increased incidence of diabetes-associated problems results in decreased QOL in these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an educational program in increasing QOL in diabetic patients, referring to the clinic of Tamin Ejtemaei Hospital in Khoramabad, Iran in 2013.

  Methodology : This quasi-experimental, with a two-group pretest-posttest design, was carried out on 80 diabetic patients, referring to Tamin Ejtemaei Hospital (48 men, 32 women). The subjects were divided into 2 groups: case group (40 patients) and control group (40 individuals). The subjects were within the age range of 30-70 years. Demographic data were collected using a questionnaire, and QOL was determined using SF-20 questionnaire and interviews. The training sessions were held for the case group, using direct and indirect methods. Three months after the intervention, the two groups were re-evaluated, using the questionnaire the pre- and post-test data were compared within the groups. ANOVA and paired t-test were performed, using SPSS version 17. P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

  Results : Overall, 40% and 60% of the subjects were females and males, respectively. The mean duration of diabetes was 9.50±7.70 years. QOL in 31.92%, 29.78%, and 38.30% of the subjects was low, medium, and high, respectively. There was a significant difference between the mean QOL before and after the intervention in the case group (P≤ 0.05).

  Conclusion : Integrated educational programs for patients with type 2 diabetes can improve QOL and decrease diabetes-associated complications. The results showed that adequate training for diabetic patients can increase their satisfaction and QOL.

Abstract

  Introduction : Despite the progress in medical and non-medical interventions for the management of type II diabetes, this condition is still associated with significant mortality and morbidity. In order to hinder or reverse this trend, interventions based on various theories and models are of high signficance. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of an educational intervention based on Pender’s health promotion model on the lifestyle of patients with type II diabetes.

  Methodology : In this clinical trial, patients were randomly allocated to two groups. The intervention group received an educational intervention based on Pender’s model (n=20) and the control group (n=20) received routine training. Data collection tools included a researcher-made questionnaire and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile, which were completed before and three months after the intervention by the two groups. Data were analyzed by independent t-test, paired t-test and Chi-squre.

  Results: The mean lifestyle score with regard to nutrition and stress management significantly improved in the intervention group (P=0.016).

  Conclusion: The findings indicated positive lifestyle changes, which confirmed the effectiveness of Pender’s model for improving health behaviors of patients with type II diabetes .

Abstract

Introduction: Adherence of type II diabetic patients to treatment is very important in preventing the complications of this disease. Furthermore, a motivational interview is an intervention considered to change health behaviors. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine the impact of the motivational interview based on self-care on the treatment adherence of type II diabetic patients hospitalized in Nabi Akram hospital in Zahedan, Iran, in 2018.
Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 40 diabetic patients were selected and randomly divided into intervention (n=20) and control (n=20) groups. Data collection tools for this study were demographic questionnaire and adherence questionnaire in patients with chronic diseases. The intervention group received four sessions of individual self-care motivational interview training. Moreover, the control group received similar training content during four sessions in the usual face-to-face manner without applying the principles of motivational interview. Adherence was measured in both groups 8 weeks after the termination of intervention. Then, the collected data were analyzed by the independent t-test and analysis of covariance using SPSS software (23).
Results: After the intervention, the mean adherence score of diabetic patients in the intervention group (150/57) was significantly higher than the mean score of the control group (141/27) (P<.001).
Conclusion: Motivational interview training based on self-care has positive impact on the adherence of type II diabetic patients to treatment. Therefore, the nurses are suggested to apply the principles of motivational interview while training these patients.

Abstract

Introduction: The most common endocrine disease in childhood and adolescence is type I or insulin-dependent diabetes. Mothers are particularly anxious and worried because of the uncertainty in the role of motherhood and the future of the child. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of educational programs on the anxiety of mothers having children with type I diabetes.
Methods: The present semi-experimental research was conducted with a pretest-posttest design on 40 mothers with type 1 diabetic children. By being present in the research environment, encouraging the mothers to participate, and considering the criteria for entering the study, the researcher selected the subjects using the purposive sampling method and randomly placed them in two intervention and control groups. The number of sessions based on the needs and conditions of the patient's mother was considered to be at least three 30-minute sessions with an interval of every other day. The data collection tool was a two-part questionnaire consisting of a demographic information form and the 40-item Spiel Berger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire have been confirmed in various studies. The obtained data were analyzed in the SPSS 21 software with the help of descriptive statistics. The significance level in this study was 0.05.
Results: The data analysis showed that the two groups did not differ significantly in terms of child's age, gender, maternal age, maternal education, number of children, and duration of diabetes. The mean score of dimensions and the total anxiety score of the study samples in the intervention group were improved after the intervention; however, this difference was not significant.
Conclusion: Mothers of children with diabetes in the intervention group had lower scores in anxiety and its dimensions after the training. In other words, the intervention improved the anxiety scores of mothers. According to the results, it can be suggested that at the beginning of children's hospitalization in the ward, their educational needs and their mothers' needs be checked and the educational content be prepared and adjusted accordingly to reduce mothers' anxiety.

Abstract

Introduction: Mothers are typically the primary caregivers for children with type 1 diabetes, a role that significantly impacts their lives. Since spirituality has been identified as a key dimension of self-care, this study aimed to determine the effect of self-care training based on mothers' spirituality on the metabolic control of children with type I diabetes.
Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial, 70 mothers of children with type I diabetes were selected and randomly assigned to two groups: an intervention group (35 participants) and a control group (35 participants). Data were collected using a demographic profile questionnaire and by measuring metabolic control indicators, including glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triglycerides, and cholesterol levels.
Results: The independent t-test showed a statistically significant difference in mean glycosylated hemoglobin scores between the intervention and control groups before and after the intervention. However, after controlling for pre-test scores using ANCOVA, no statistically significant difference was observed in the average glycosylated hemoglobin levels between the intervention group (7.65 to 7.04) and the control group (7.24 to 6.63).Similarly, the average triglyceride levels in the intervention group changed from 85.46 ± 14.58 to 85.46 ± 16.46, and in the control group from 83.51 ± 29.06 to 83.86 ± 24.81. Cholesterol levels in the intervention group changed from 178.66 ± 10.67 to 178.49 ± 11.64, while in the control group, they shifted from 174.17 ± 11.39 to 175.61 ± 12.51. However, the independent t-test did not reveal a statistically significant difference in triglyceride or cholesterol scores between the two groups (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The spiritual self-care educational intervention improved the ability of mothers to oversee the metabolic control of their children with type 1 diabetes in a sample of the Iranian population. However, the findings suggest that mothers likely require more comprehensive support than what was provided in this study. Solely offering spiritual support appears insufficient. Therefore, holistic support systems addressing the multifaceted needs of these mothers are necessary to enhance their caregiving roles effectively.
