The Efficacy and Treatment Adherence With an Integrated Program on HbA1c Scores in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
The Efficacy and Treatment Adherence With an Integrated Program on HbA1c Scores in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
It is hypothesized for this study that the coupling of the Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic, biopsychosocial evaluation, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and ongoing support can produce improved outcomes with diabetics who have previously been unsuccessful with the traditional care. This study examined the relationship between patients' HbA1c levels and patients' involvement in the ASMART program, a multifaceted program involving psychological intervention. The study was conducted through the Kosciusko Health Department and funded by K21 Health Foundation.
The study involved 182 Type 2 Diabetes patients with an HbA1c score above 7, reflecting poor control of diabetes. The experimental group consisted of 124 patients who joined the ASMART program, while the control group consisted of 60 patients who continued to receive traditional care. Statistical analysis involved comparing pretest & posttest HbA1c levels for the experimental group and the control group.
