Structured health education improved physical domain QOL score from 21.5 to 26.8 and psychological domain from 19.7 to 24.4 (P = 0.001) in patients with type 2 diabetes after 3 months.
Do structured health education programs improve quality of life in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus?
Structured health education significantly improves quality of life and self-care in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Effect estimate: P = 0.001 for improvement in physical domain score
Absolute Event Rate: 26.8% vs 21.5%
p-value: p=<0.05 for all domains
Structured health education significantly enhances the QOL of diabetic patients across multiple domains. Strengthening patient awareness and self-care not only helps prevent serious complications and premature mortality but also reduces the burden on families, healthcare institutions, and the broader healthcare system.
Salem et al. (2025) studied Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (n=232). Structured health education program vs. Baseline (pre-intervention) measurements was evaluated on Quality of Life (QOL) assessed by WHOQOL-BREF across physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains (P = 0.001 for improvement in physical domain score, p=<0.05 for all domains). Structured health education improved physical domain QOL score from 21.5 to 26.8 and psychological domain from 19.7 to 24.4 (P = 0.001) in patients with type 2 diabetes after 3 months.
