简要总结
The Diabetes Conversation Map Program (DCMP) is a novel, group-based, interactive diabetes management education program that has been shown to help patients adapt to their disease. So the investigators aimed to examine the long-term effectiveness of the DCMP among diabetes patients in Taiwan.
详细描述
Study design and participants
A quasi-experimental pre-posttest control group design, with purposive sampling, was used to recruit participants from the Endocrinology department of a hospital in southern Taiwan from January to May of 2014. The inclusion criteria were (i) being at least 20 years old at the time of recruitment (ii) having no cognitive impairment and severe complications, (iii) being able to express opinions in either Mandarin or Taiwanese, and (iv) having a diagnosis of diabetes. To ensure participants' anonymity, all questionnaires were marked with an encryption code to facilitate data analysis, but with no personal identifiers.
Sample size calculation
Sample size calculation for this analysis of repeated measures to detect an effect size of 0.2 at 80% power and a 0.05 significance level indicated that a sample size of 68 patients is needed (according to G- POWER 3.1 analytical software, Franz Faul, Universitat Kiel, Germany). A sample of at least 89 participants for both groups combined was required on the basis of these parameters, allowing for a 30% attrition rate.
