Aim:
To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a culturally sensitive nurse-led structured education programme for patients with type 2 diabetes.
Background:
A nurse-led satisfactory diabetes education programme might be feasible. The structured education programme is considered a potential model that helps patients manage diabetes.
Design:
A mixed-method design.
Methods:
A convenience sample of 44 participants received the programme. Feasibility was assessed using the recruitment rate and the retention rate. Acceptability was assessed by interviews to obtain the perception and experience of participants. Also, preliminary efficacy on diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, self-management behaviours, and clinical outcomes was assessed. Finally, data were collected from April to December 2015.
Results:
The recruitment rate and the retention rate were acceptable. Participants thought that the programme contributed to their positive changes. They enjoyed and accepted the programme, and they wanted to gain the ongoing support. Significant improvements in diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, self-management behaviours, A1C , fasting blood glucose, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, weight, body mass index, and waist circumference were reported in 12-week follow-up.
Conclusions:
This programme is feasible and acceptable, and its preliminary efficacy is promising. Ongoing support, a control group, and long-term follow-up are required in future studies to assess its effectiveness.

Plastic shrinkage cracks typically form within hours after the concrete is poured. The concrete's surface dries faster than the bottom, creating tensile stress that the still-plastic concrete cannot withstand, leading to diagonal or randomly patterned cracks on the concrete surface.

Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
