Electronic messaging intervention for management of cardiovascular risk factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus: A randomised controlled trial
See more Setting of implementation: Home-care Professionals delivering the intervention: Nurses, Physicians Targeted self-management behaviours: assessment of cardiovascular risk factors
Components
Monitoring techniques (MT)
Monitoring techniques (MT)
Self-monitoring training and feedback. Training and encouraging people to recognize, monitor, and record behaviours, symptoms, or clinical data. This process may include regular feedback from a clinician, or a synopsis of information registered in a digital tool to encourage you to continue monitoring your illness and behaviours.
Example: Showing a patient how to record blood sugar levels, physical activity, or pain.
Individual sessions
A single person receives the self-management support. Examples: self-guided actions (without the participation of any other person) during a clinical visit or within the context of a support or educational session
Remote
When patients (and/or caregivers) are not in the same place as the health care providers. This interaction can take place through different communication means or tools (e.g., telephone, smartphone, Internet).

Components
Education (E)
Education (E)
Sharing information. This form of support consists in sharing of information about self-management topics like coping with symptoms, diet, exercise, medication, information about what other people are doing, and information about the disease itself, or about any other relevant aspects that could lead to improved self-management, and ultimately better health. This information can be told or distributed in printed materials like a folder or workbook, or via website or DVD.
Examples: Educational session on healthy eating for people with obesity, provision of a printed leaflet on the importance of foot care in diabetes, or a link to a website with information on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease care.
