The Clinical and Economic Impacts of e-Heath on Diabetes (eHealthDM)

8. mai 2012 oppdatert av: Dr. Danièle Pacaud

This project addresses the following Null Hypotheses:

  1. There will be no difference will be found in the use of the search engine and the information accessed among the three education modes.
  2. There will be no difference in education mode's effect on metabolic control, self-care management practices, and medical resource utilization.
  3. There will be no difference in the economic impact on the health care system based on differing education modes.

Detaljert beskrivelse

In addition to the face-to-face education process currently used at the CHR, this project will develop two modes of eHealth education. Education mode 1 (control) is comprised of participants educated using CHR's current traditional face-to-face delivery method, with printed materials and written log journals. These participants will be trained to use the University's web portal if they elect to access internet-based diabetes information. This allows for the tracking of the type and amounts of diabetes information accessed by participants. Education mode 2 (static interface) participants will be educated using digitized forms of the traditional materials provided by CHR as well as an electronic log journal (e-journal) where participants will record their diabetes-related outcomes and behavioural information. Education mode 2 will be assessed and approved by CHR. Education mode 3 (dynamic interface) participants will be educated using the digitized traditional materials from education mode 2 as well as an enhanced dynamic e-journal (visualization of blood glucose and alerts). In addition, this mode will provide informative disease-related internet sites and diabetes news and articles vetted by the medical team. Participants and health professionals will then be able to electronically discuss the content and quality of this information (discussion board). New sites and articles will be added on an ongoing basis. Participants will also have access to a chat room that will encourage information sharing with other education mode 3 participants and health professionals at CHR. Education mode 3 will be assessed and approved by CHR.

Placebo komparator: Education mode 1 (control)

In addition to the face-to-face education process currently used at the CHR, Education mode 1 (control), Education mode 2 (static interface) and Education mode 3 (dynamic interface) will be used.
Aktiv komparator: Education mode 2 (static interface)
Education mode 2 (static interface) participants will be educated using digitized forms of the traditional materials provided by CHR as well as an electronic log journal (e-journal) where participants will record their diabetes-related outcomes and behavioural information. Education mode 2 will be assessed and approved by CHR.

Hva måler studien?

Primære resultatmål

Resultatmål
Tiltaksbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Changes in A1C
Tidsramme: baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 months
A1C is a measure of metabolic control in diabetes. For this study changes in A1C from baseline to 3, 6, 9 and 12 months were measured. All A1C were measured in provincial laboratories using 6.1% as the upper limit of normal for individuals without diabetes.
baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 months

Tiltaksbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
a reduction in the cost of delivering health information and education processes
Tidsramme: baseline and 12 months
Secondary effects could include a change in the cost of delivering health information and education processes. Potential changes to self-care management practices of people with type II diabetes could lead to a reduced utilization of the heath care system resulting in a positive economic impact.
baseline and 12 months
Changes in Diabetes Knowledge
Tidsramme: baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 months
Changes in diabetes knowledge from baseline to 3, 6, 9, and 12 months will be measured using a 23 item multiple choice questionnaire devolopped by Fitzgerald et al 1998.
baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12 months
Changes in Diabetes self-care activities
Tidsramme: Baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months
Changes in diabetes self-care activities from base line to 3, 6, 9, and 12 months will be measured the diabetes self-care activities tool evaluated by Toobert at al (2000).
Baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months
