Summary:
In patients with comorbid hypertension and diabetes, an interdisciplinary care model with family empowerment (ICCM-FE) significantly improved blood pressure, glucose control, quality of life, psychosocial adaptation, and nursing satisfaction compared to routine care, though it was associated with no reported adverse effects.
| PICO | Description |
|---|---|
| Population | Adults (n = 187) diagnosed with both hypertension and diabetes, recruited from January 2023 to March 2024 in a randomized controlled trial. |
| Intervention | Interdisciplinary Care Model combined with Family Empowerment (ICCM-FE), incorporating the COM-B model alongside structured family engagement. |
| Comparison | Routine standard care practices for managing hypertension and diabetes without added interdisciplinary or family-based interventions. |
| Outcome | The ICCM-FE group showed significantly greater improvements in SBP, DBP, FPG, and HbA1c levels. They also reported better scores on SF-36 (quality of life), GSES (self-efficacy), and NSNS (nursing satisfaction), along with reduced PAIS-SR (psychosocial distress) scores compared to those receiving routine care (p < 0.05). |
