Effect of individual health education based on FPA character cdor classification on type 2 diabetes patients

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of health education with FPA character color classification in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods 128 cases with type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 64 cases in each group. The experimental group was divided into red team,blue team, yellow team and green team according to FPA character color classification, made individual materials for different team and carry out health education. The control group took the traditional methods of health education. Two groups of health education lasted for 3 months through lectures, discharged follow-up,friendship association, offering written educational materials with the same intervention form, intervention time and intervention frequency, to test fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin,triglyceride, total cholesterol, body mass index, waist circumference and blood pressure and other indicators for the evaluation after 3 months' intervention. Results The differences of two groups of fasting blood glucose, 2h postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, triglyceride, total cholesterol levels and the anthropometry indicators were statistically significant by statistical analysis ( P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusions The effect of targeted health education made by FPA character color classification for type 2 diabetes is superior to traditional teaching methods, which is worth popularizing.
