A CULTURALLY-SENSITIVE NURSE-LED
STRUCTURED EDUCATION PROGRAM IN
PERSONS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES: A MIXED
PILOT STUDY
Aim: To assess the feasibility and acceptability of a culturally sensitive nurse-
led structured education program for persons with type 2 diabetes without in-
sulin therapy, and the preliminary outcomes of the program.
Methods: A mixed-method study with a real-world quasi- experimental design
and a quality study were employed. Forty-four participants with type 2 diabetes
received a tailored 4-module structured education program. Quantitative data
were collected at pre-intervention and at the end of a 3-month follow up. Qual-
itative data were collected post-intervention. Descriptive analysis, two-tailed
Student’s t tests and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test were used to analyses the
quantitative data. Thematic content analysis was used to analyses the quali-
tative data.
Results: Forty-four participants completed the program and the attrition rate
was 20%. Three basic themes were generated: The program contributed to
positive changes for participants; they enjoyed and accepted the program; and
they needed ongoing support. Significant improvements in A1C, fasting blood
glucose, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, body weight, waist circumstance,
body mass index, diabetes related knowledge, self- efficacy and self-manage-
ment behavior were reported three months after intervention.
Conclusion: Study finding demonstrated that culturally- sensitive nurse-led
structured education program tailored for persons with type 2 diabetes without
insulin therapy in China is feasible, acceptable, and its preliminary outcomes
may be effective. Ongoing support, a control group, and long-term follow up
should be included in the future study.
