Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The primary outcome is risk perception.
Secondary outcome
Secundary outcomes are the attitude and intention to change behaviour and
illness perception.
Background summary
It is difficult for patients with diabetes to understand the risk to develop
severe diabetes related complications. As a result, they do not recognize the
seriousness of changing lifestyle and taking medication in time. The risk to
develop cardiovascular disease can be estimated by means of a risk formula.
However, these numbers are complicated to understand for patients. Therefore,
it is important to develop a method to improve risk communication for patients.
This might improve the understanding of the patient concering the risks that
are associated with having diabetes and the motivation to change lifestyle. In
addition, the patient will receive information that is needed to become a
decision-maker of the treatment which is important to increase patient
empowerment.
Study objective
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of an intervention focussed
on the communication of the absolute 10-year risk to develop cardiovascular
disease on risk perception, attitude towards a specific behaviour and the
intention to change behaviour.
Study design
A randomised controlled trial will be performed in the the Diabetes Care System
West-Friesland. The patients will be randomised into a control and an
intervention group.
Intervention
The control group will receive standard managed care of the Diabetes Care
System West-Friesland, which consists of a visit to a diabetes nurse followed
by a visit to a dietician. The intervention group will receive this standard
managed care and an intervention on risk communication by a diabetes nurse
(part 1) and dietician (part 2)
