Background<\/strong>: Type 2 DM is a chronic disease and is increasing in prevalence and incidence worldwide. In developing nations like the Philippines, it affects patients and their families. Family-oriented interventions, like family counseling, meetings, interviews, and home visits, can support commitment to change and enhance medication adherence, health behavior, and knowledge ensuring adherence to the multifaceted diabetes type 2 management. Patients and families should be permitted to make decisions about lifestyle modifications and medication interventions and finding the appropriate family-focused intervention that works for managing type 2 diabetes is essential. With this information, family physicians can provide more effective care to patients hence, improving their quality of life.
\nObjective: This review\u2019s objective was to determine the effectiveness of family-focused intervention among patients with type 2 diabetes in terms of glycemic control (HbA1c and FBS) and in terms of improving the quality of life.<\/p>\nMethods<\/strong>: This is a meta-analysis that included clinical trials randomized involving adult participants that were diagnosed to have type 2 DM. The interventions tested was family-based interventions and the primary outcomes included are HbA1c and FBS. A systematic review was conducted for secondary outcome, patients\u2019 quality of life. Reviewers used the RevMan5 software in the analysis of data.<\/p>\nResults<\/strong>: Seven studies met the inclusion criterion. The overall mean difference in post-treatment HbA1c was \u22120.54%(95%CI [-0.82,-0.25];p=0.0003) for the 1,265 participants included, showing an overall significant benefit of reducing HbA1c favoring intervention, especially on the 3-month follow-up. On subgroup analysis, the results were as follows: 3-months, -0.45%(95%CI [-0.73,-0.16];p=0.002); 6-month, -0.15%(95%CI[-0.51,0.22];p=0.44), and 12-month, -0.77%(95%CI[-1.75,0.21], p=0.12). The overall difference in mean change in FBS showed a result of -7.8(95%CI[-17.52,1.92],p=0.12) showing benefit, though not statistically significant, favoring intervention in decreasing FBS.<\/p>\nConclusion<\/strong>: Family-focused interventions among Type 2 DM patients shows significant benefit on improving glycemic control and QOL.<\/p>\nKey words<\/strong>: type 2 diabetes mellitus, family-oriented, family, family-based, family-focused<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,172],"tags":[16,209,210,211,208,127],"class_list":["post-4435","abstract","type-abstract","status-publish","hentry","category-abstract","category-abstract-2024-volume-62-issue-1","tag-abstract","tag-family","tag-family-based","tag-family-focused","tag-family-oriented","tag-type-2-diabetes-mellitus"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/abstract\/4435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/abstract"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/abstract"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/abstract\/4435\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4436,"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/abstract\/4435\/revisions\/4436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepafp.org\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
