Multiprofessional Approach in Diabetes Mellitus

The Effectiveness of the Multiprofessional Approach in an Educational Group in the Control of Diabetes Mellitus in Patients Using Oral Hypoglycemic Agents From a Basic Health Unit in the City of Guarulhos/ SP: a Randomized Study

OBJECTIVE: to verify the effectiveness of adopting the practice of educational groups in primary care and the multiprofessional role in the control of diabetes mellitus in adults. METHODOLOGY: a randomized clinical study carried out in an educational group at the Basic Health Unit Nova Bonsucesso with six monthly meetings scheduled with 24 patients with type II diabetes mellitus users of oral hypoglycemic agents divided into two subgroups: 12 users in the control group and 12 users in the control group. study (which will receive the interventions of the multidisciplinary team) and will be accompanied by laboratory tests and individual evaluations to verify the effectiveness of the multidisciplinary action in the control of diabetes mellitus.

Detailed Description

INTRODUCTION: diabetes mellitus is highlighted as an obstacle in health equipment because it is a chronic disease and has a high mortality rate. The pathology results in hyperglycemia, disorders or insufficiency of several organs. OBJECTIVE: to verify the effectiveness of adopting the practice of educational groups in primary care and the multidisciplinary role in the control of diabetes mellitus in adults. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND: type II diabetes mellitus (type II DM) is a pathology that represents a high risk for cardiovascular, renal, ophthalmological complications and in several other systems. It is considered a major issue to be controlled by health services, as the high cost of treatments related to the sequelae of type II DM, as well as high rates of hospitalizations and associated therapies have been increasing and decompensating public budgets. Primary care has a fundamental role in preventing the disease and associated complications. METHODOLOGY: randomized clinical study conducted in an educational group at the Basic Health Unit Nova Bonsucesso with six monthly meetings scheduled with 24 patients with type II diabetes mellitus users of oral hypoglycemic agents divided into two subgroups: 12 users in the control group and 12 users in the group study (which will receive the interventions of the multidisciplinary team) and will be accompanied by laboratory tests and individual evaluations to verify the effectiveness of the multidisciplinary performance in the control of diabetes mellitus. RESULTS: the participants are expected to show improvements in the control of the pathology and awareness about the relevance of self-care, facts that will be observed through laboratory data and subsequent multi-professional evaluations.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Placebo; The control group will be evaluated in 2 stages: at the beginning and at the end of the study and will be accompanied only with scheduled medical consultations (also simulating the reality of basic health units with a traditional model of care) and the intervention group will undergo evaluations with the multiprofessional team on two occasions (at the beginning and at the end of the study)
Active Comparator: Specific and educational guidelines on pathology care (diabetes mellitus); Multiprofessional educational guidelines and analysis of the following exams: Periodontal record, bleeding rate on and visible plaque;; Body mass index (BMI): weight (kg) divided by height squared (m²);; Serum glucose values;; Glycated hemoglobin;; Blood count: hemoglobin;; Urea: male:; Creatinine male;; Uric acid;; Oxalacetic glutamic transaminase;; Glutamic pyruvic transaminase;; Total cholesterol and fractions: Cholesterol, Non HDL, LDL, VLDL;; Triglycerides;; Type I urine;; Vitamin D3 25OH;; Microalbuminuria;; Blood pressure: systolic;; Abdominal circumference.	Behavioral: Specific and educational guidelines on care for pathology (diabetes mellitus) according to each profession involved in the research; Physician: Guidance on pathology, sequelae and treatment, as well as guidance on the importance of medical monitoring. Dental surgeon: guidance on oral health, demonstration of brushing techniques and daily flossing and periodontal changes resulting from diabetes mellitus. Nurse: Guidance on pathology prioritizing pathophysiology, self-care and skin care and wound prevention (vascular sequelae). Nutritionist: nutritional guidelines on diabetes mellitus and healthy eating habits. Physiotherapist: guidance on prevention of falls and injuries and health promotion. Physical educator: guidance on the importance of practicing physical activities for general health, encouraging self-care and body awareness and demonstrating basic physical activities that can be performed at home.
