Objective:
The study aimed to examine the impact of a mobile application-based self-management and chronic disease platform in transitional care for older adults with diabetes.
Methods:
A prospective non-randomised concurrent controlled clinical trial was adopted from May to November 2023. Participants were allocated based on their scheduled appointment times, received routine outpatient care or 12-week transitional care information and support intervention including chronic disease management platform and Slow Health. Changes in anxiety, depression, diabetes self-management, self-efficacy and the perceived social support scores of the two groups after 1-month and 3-month intervention were compared.
Results:
A total of 124 participants were enrolled. The experimental group demonstrated a more pronounced decrease in anxiety, exhibited lower levels of diastolic blood pressure (DBP), showed significantly lower levels of depression, higher levels of diabetes self-management and self-efficacy, and comparable levels of perceived social support compared to the control group.
Conclusions:
The program has the potential to improve transitional care in older adults with diabetes, warranting further promotion.
