Patient empowerment. Results of a randomized controlled trial
RM Anderson, MM Funnell, PM Butler, MS Arnold, JT Fitzgerald and CC Feste
University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor 48109-0201, USA.
OBJECTIVE--The purpose of this study was to determine if participation in a
patient empowerment program would result in improved psychosocial
self-efficacy and attitudes toward diabetes, as well as a reduction in
blood glucose levels. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS--This study was conducted
as a randomized, wait-listed control group trial. The intervention group
received a six-session (one session per week) patient empowerment education
program; the control group was assigned to a wait-list. At the end of 6
weeks, the control group completed the six-session empowerment program. Six
weeks after the program, both groups provided follow-up data. RESULTS--The
intervention group showed gains over the control group on four of the eight
self-efficacy subscales and two of the five diabetes attitude subscales.
Also, the intervention group showed a significant reduction in glycated
hemoglobin levels. Within groups, analysis of data from all program
participants showed sustained improvements in all of the self-efficacy
areas and two of the five diabetes attitude subscales and a modest
improvement in blood glucose levels. CONCLUSIONS--This study indicated that
patient empowerment is an effective approach to developing educational
interventions for addressing the psychosocial aspects of living with
diabetes. Furthermore, patient empowerment is conducive to improving blood
glucose control. In an ideal setting, patient education would address
equally blood glucose management and the psychosocial challenges of living
with diabetes.
