Overview
Brief Summary
This study is a multi-center, randomized prospective trial with a 6-month follow up. A newly developed treatment and education module will be tested compared to a waiting-list control group. The module covers the topic "diabetes and partnership". Primary outcome variable is diabetes-specific empowerment regarding diabetes and partnership. Secondary outcome variables are: diabetes-related distress, health-related quality of life, depressive symptoms, self-care behavior, and glycemic control.
Detailed Description
The module consists of one lesson (duration: 90 minutes). The module is derived from the empowerment approach and is based on the previously evaluated education and treatment program for type 1 diabetes: PRIMAS (NCT01220557). The module is designed as a group session held by a trained diabetes educator. Patients are randomized either to the immediate participation in the module or to the control group. Control group is a waiting-list control group. Patients in this waiting-list control group get the education after the completion of the 6-month follow-up.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from baseline in diabetes-specific empowerment on the adapted Diabetes Empowerment Scale at the 2-week and 6-month follow-up
Time Frame: Baseline, 2-week follow-up , 6-month follow-up
The Diabetes Empowerment Scale was specifically adjusted to cover "partnership" issues. Psychometric criteria for these adjusted scale were evaluated in an independent study
Secondary Outcomes
- Change from baseline in problem-specific distress on the adapted Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) Scale at the 2-week and 6-month follow-up(baseline, 2-week follow-up, 6-month follow-up)
- Change from baseline in glycemic control (HbA1c) at the 2-week and 6-month follow-up(baseline, 2-week follow-up, 6-month follow-up)
- Change from baseline in health-related quality of life on the EQ-5D at the 2-week and 6-month follow-up(baseline, 2-week follow-up, 6-month follow-up)
- Change from baseline in quality of life on the WHO-5 at the 2-week and 6-month follow-up(baseline, 2-week follow-up, 6-month follow-up)
- Change from baseline in self-efficacy on the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) the 2-week and 6-month follow-up(baseline, 2-week follow-up, 6-month follow-up)
- Change from baseline in general diabetes-distress at the 2-week and 6-month follow-up(baseline, 2-week follow-up, 6-month follow-up)
- Change from baseline in depressive symptoms on the CES-D at the 2-week and 6-month follow-up(baseline, 2-week follow-up, 6-month follow-up)
