1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

backgroundSelf-management and empowerment are critical components in the treatment of diabetes, a chronic condition that has become an increasingly significant global health issue. While standard diabetes education is essential for effective disease management, personalized interventions aligned with the patient's preferences are also necessary. One promising solution is the integration of coaching approaches into chronic disease management.

methodsThis study was designed as a randomized controlled trial with a pretest-posttest design and three parallel arms: a Holistic Nurse Coaching group (n = 34), a Diabetes Education (n = 34) group, and a control group (n = 34). Data were collected through a Sociodemographic Data Collection Form, a Diabetes Data Collection Form, the Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Self-Management Scale and the Diabetes Empowerment scale. The aim was to evaluate the effect of Holistic Nurse Coaching on glycemic control, diabetes self-management, and empowerment in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The Holistic Nurse Coaching group received nine individualized holistic nurse coaching sessions over a three-month period. The Diabetes Education group participated in nine group-based diabetes education sessions over the same period. The control group received no intervention. Mean comparison tests, correlation tests and multiple regression analysis techniques were employed in the statistical analysis. A 5% margin of error (p < 0.05) was adopted to determine statistical significance.

resultsFollowing the holistic nurse coaching intervention, statistically significant improvements were observed in participants' diabetes self-management, empowerment, and HbA1c levels (d = 3.752, d = 3.104, and d = 1.147, respectively; p < 0.001). A strong, positive, and statistically significant correlation was identified between posttest diabetes self-management and empowerment scores. Furthermore, the diabetes empowerment scores accounted for approximately 68.5% of the variance in diabetes self-management scores (p < 0.05).

conclusionsHolistic nurse coaching was found to significantly enhance diabetes self-management and empowerment. These findings suggest that holistic nurse coaching may serve as an effective, person-centered intervention to support individuals with type 2 diabetes in managing their condition.
