Summary

African Americans are twice as likely to have type 2 diabetes as non-Hispanic Whites and are less likely to engage in effective diabetes self-management. There is a critical need for intensive lifestyle interventions that address the distress inherent in having the disease and the unique stressors faced by African Americans that may worsen diabetes-related health outcomes. Our program, Resilience-Based Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support, integrates resilience resources with diabetes self-management skills to enable African-American patients to manage the daily demands of the disease and improve long-term adherence to healthy lifestyle choices, thereby reducing the negative health burden of diabetes.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Resilience-Based Diabetes Self-Management Education

During the group sessions led by professional nurses, participants are provided information and group activities to enable them to more effectively manage their personal diabetes challenges. During the support group sessions, participants discuss personal challenges and solutions to diabetes self-management, using a more informal approach. Booster sessions are held to refresh participants' understanding of how resilience resources can sustain self-management behaviors and maintain improved T2DM health outcomes. The RB-DSME also incorporates cultural characteristics and preferences of African Americans (AAs), to include: * the location in community-based church settings, * recognition of cultural dietary preferences, and * emphasis on cultural/historical significance of resilience in AAs.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Diabetes Self-Management Education

Control group sessions, led by professional nurses, cover topics such as: * causes and symptoms of type 2 diabetes, * glucose self-monitoring, * models for and principles of healthy eating, grocery shopping and dining out, * physical activity, * diabetes medications, * managing sick days and stress, and * community resources.
