Impact of web-based nurse’s education on glycosylated hemoglobin
in patients with type 2 diabetes
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an educational intervention that used both the cellular phone and the Internet to provide a short messaging service (SMS) varied according to the degree of the glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) at baseline with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: Fifty-one subjects completed the entire study, 25 interventions and 26 controls. Intervention and control groups were then separated into two groups by baseline HbA1c, a baseline HbA1c³ 7.0% and a baseline HbA1c< 7.0%. The intervention was applied for 12 weeks. Participants were requested to input the blood glucose level, diet, and exercise diary everyday in http://www.biodang.com by cellular phone or wire Internet. The researcher sends optimal recommendations to each patient using both SMS of cellular phone and wire Internet. The HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and two-hour plasma glucose (2-h PG) were measured before and after the intervention. Results: Patients with a baseline HbA1c< 7.0% in intervention group, maintained good control, whereas those in the control group showed significant HbA1c aggravation after 12 weeks. There was a significant percentage change in a baseline HbA1c³ 7.0% for the intervention group (p=0.007), with a mean percentage change of -2.15%. The percentage change in the control group was, however, no significant, this time the mean percentage change was - 0.22% after 12 weeks. Conclusion: These findings indicated that patients with a baseline HbA1c< 7.0% in intervention group, maintained good control, whereas those in the control group showed significant HbA1c aggravation.
