| الوصف: | Background: Diabetes is a chronic disease, contributing to premature death and disability worldwide. To prevent complications, diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) are essential. A literature review supports the delivery of DSMES using telehealth. Telehealth services were limited before the COVID-19 pandemic. Purpose: Objectives of this study were to determine patients’ satisfaction with DSMES by telehealth in their home; the impact on patients’ diabetes knowledge, glycemic control; and individualized patient goals. Methods: A mixed-method quality improvement project, in a rural primary care clinic, was used to recruit adult patients with a diagnosis of diabetes. Patients completed a pre and post diabetes knowledge test and a patient satisfaction survey. Data collection included A1C levels, patient goals, knowledge, and satisfaction. Results: Seventy-one percent of participants were satisfied with telehealth. Average reduction ofA1C levels were 1.61, and 36.4% achieved goals. All participants had increased knowledge. Conclusion: Understanding the impact of DSMES on a patient living with diabetes via telehealth is needed to determine the plausibility of telehealth policy changes. Further studies are needed for increased participation in telehealth, a comparison study between in-clinic versus telehealth participants, and provider’s attitudes toward telehealth on participants’ willingness to participate in telehealth. |
