PG - 505-15 LID - S1575-0922(14)00169-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.endonu.2014.06.001 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND AND AIM: This paper presents results from the Spanish subpopulation of a study comparing Conversation Maps (CM)-based education with regular care (RC) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Adult patients with T2DM who were considered as not demonstrating ideal disease management were randomly assigned to CM or RC with assessments following (Visit 2), and at follow-up 6 months after (Visit 3), the final CM session. The primary endpoint was diabetes knowledge at Visit 3. RESULTS: 310 patients were randomised to receive CM education (n=148) or RC (n=162). Median knowledge scores were ranked significantly higher in the CM group than the RC group at Visit 2 and Visit 3 (p<0.001). No significant differences in clinical and other outcomes were identified between the interventions, except satisfaction with care (p<0.001, Visit 2; p=0.055, Visit 3) and perception of goal attainment (p<0.001 and p = 0.046, respectively) that were both higher in the CM group. CONCLUSIONS: In these patients from Spain, CM was superior to RC in terms of diabetes knowledge 6 months after education was completed, suggesting that CM should be considered for use in patients requiring diabetes education.
