Sponsor's own description

In Singapore, the prevalence of diabetes was approximately 12.8% in 2014 and was projected to rise to 22.7% in 2035. In 2015, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reported that Singapore has the second highest proportion of diabetic patients among developed nations. The impact of poorly controlled diabetes on the individual, family and health system is well known. Previous studies have shown that older persons, specifically those with chronic conditions such as diabetes, often lack sufficient knowledge about their condition and thus frequently have poor self-management skills, which is essential for good health outcome. Health education among older persons, particularly those with chronic illnesses, has long been promoted as a priority. Chodosh and colleagues (2005) determined that there were benefits and significant improvement in blood glucose and blood pressure for chronic disease self-management programs for older adults with diabetes and high blood pressure respectively in a meta-analysis study. This project \[Self-Care for Older People with Diabetes Mellitus (SCOPE-DM)\] was therefore developed to help community-dwelling older patients with type 2 diabetes to effectively manage their disease by reducing diabetes-related risk factors and complications, leading to an improvement in their psychological well-being and health-related quality of life, as well as a reduction in future healthcare requirements from family and society. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the SCOPE-DM programme in improving the self-efficacy, motivation, medication adherence, health-related quality of life and diabetes knowledge among community-dwelling older adults with type 2 diabetes in Singapore. This proposed study is a prospective, four-group cluster randomized controlled trial. The participants will be followed up for 6 months at the community sites and Hua Mei Clinics of the Tsao Foundation. A set of questionnaires will be used to assess participants' self-efficacy, diabetic self-care activities, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), diabetes knowledge and medication adherence. Process evaluation will also be conducted to assess the acceptability, strengths and weaknesses of the 'SCOPE-DM: Live Well with Diabetes' programme based on the participants' perspectives through the conduct of qualitative interviews.
