Background summary
Recently diagnosed patients with diabetes type 2 are confronted with many new selfmanagement tasks and guidelines regarding lifestyle and coping with their disease.
The main purpose of this study is to investigate if selfmanagement coaching by expert patients leads to more perceived control over diabetes and better quality of life in newly diagnosed patients with diabetes type 2.
200 patients that are included in the study within one year will be randomised and stratified for sex.
Patients in the experimental group (N=100) are coached by an expert patient for 3 months. A selfmanagement program is used with a focus on diet and physical activity. The coaching is given additional to the usual care by the general practitioner, dietician and diabetic nurse.
Before, 3 and 6 months after the intervention, all patients complete a questionnaire about quality of life, quality of care, self-efficacy, selfmanagement behaviour and coping. It is expected that the intervention will result in more self-efficacy, better selfmanagement, better quality of life, less depressive symptoms and a better quality of care as compared with patients only receiving usual care.
