Summary:
In adult patients with type 2 diabetes, implementation of the CAPDCA (collection-assessment-plan-do-check-aggrandizement) personalized education model significantly improved glycemic control, medication adherence, and quality of life compared to traditional diabetes education programs, though it was associated with no reported adverse effects.
| PICO | Description |
|---|---|
| Population | Adult patients with type 2 diabetes attending community health centers in Beijing, China. |
| Intervention | The CAPDCA model — a structured, iterative, and personalized patient education framework implemented over 18 months through 11 follow-up visits. |
| Comparison | Traditional diabetes education provided in standard formats at community health centers, without personalization or iterative feedback. |
| Outcome | Significant improvements in HbA1c reduction (t = –6.117, P < .01), higher rate of HbA1c target achievement (83.3% vs. 25.0%, RR = 3.33), greater reductions in FBG and 2h-PPG (OR = 0.663 and 0.218, respectively), improved medication adherence (MMAS-8 scores, Z = 5.912, P < .01), and better quality of life (SF-36 scores, t = 9.497, P < .01). |
