Summary
Older adults were more likely to complete the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program and Diabetes Self-Management Program workshops if they had diabetes, attended introductory sessions, and were in smaller classes. Depression impacted completion rates.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Chronic Disease Management
- Gerontology
Background:
- Self-management programs are crucial for individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
- The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) and Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP) are evidence-based interventions.
- Understanding participation and completion factors is key to optimizing these programs for older adults.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine participation and completion rates of CDSMP and DSMP among older adults.
- To identify factors influencing workshop completion in the Communities Putting Prevention to Work initiative.
- To inform strategies for improving engagement in self-management programs.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of participation and completion data from older adults in a public health initiative.
- Comparison of completion rates based on program type (CDSMP vs. DSMP), class structure (introductory sessions), class size, and participant depression status.
- Statistical examination of factors associated with workshop completion.
Main Results:
- Completion was higher in the DSMP for individuals with diabetes.
- Workshops with zero introductory classes and smaller class sizes showed increased completion rates.
- Participants reporting depression were less likely to complete either workshop.
Conclusions:
- Program-specific enrollment and class characteristics influence completion rates for older adults.
- Depression is a significant barrier to completing self-management workshops.
- Further research should explore workshop accessibility, outcomes, and participant experiences to enhance program effectiveness.

The therapy for diabetes aims to alleviate hyperglycemia-related symptoms, prevent acute metabolic decompensation, and reduce chronic end-organ complications. Glycemic control is evaluated through short-term (self-monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring) and long-term (A1c, fructosamine) metrics, enabling near real-time tracking of blood glucose levels and reflecting glycemic control over specific time frames.
