Summary

Insufficient self-management is a significant barrier for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) to achieve glycemic control and reduce the risk of acute and long-term diabetes complications which negatively affect the quality of life and increase the risk of diabetes-related death. This pre-post study aimed to evaluate the impact of a peer-based club intervention to improve self-management among people living with T2D in two rural communities in Vietnam.

Conditions

  • Diabete Type 2

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

VALID - diabetes supportive clubs

The VALID - diabetes supportive clubs comprised diabetes classes and diabetes clubs, to highlight two prominent aspects of diabetes self-management: education and peer support. The diabetes club meeting was held twice a month during a 9-month intervention, consisting of a focused delivery of the knowledge and discussion following the topic in the monthly class. Club meetings also included dedicated time for blood glucose testing and sharing experiences to deal with the difficulties of the periodic insurance examinations process. Finally, the club meetings provided the participants with emotional support to deal with the stigma and sadness in their daily lives. Core messages aimed to strengthen daily self-management and boost the spiritual bond between individuals with T2D toward a healthy, happy life with T2DM. In addition, the intervention aimed to strengthen the capacities of grassroots health care workers in diabetes consultations and communication in rural communities.
