摘要
Aims: To evaluate sustainability of peer support (PS) benefits in diabetes management. Methods: Supporting a Peer Leader program through Community Health Centers (CHCs) included trainings and consultations from baseline to 12 months. Evaluation at baseline, 12 -month, and 18 -month follow-up included primary outcome, HbA1c, and other outcomes of SBP, DBP, LDLc, PHQ-8, diabetes distress, and EQ-5D. Results: 1284 participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited from 9 CHCs. Mean (SD) for age = 68.00 (7.55) years, 43.07 % male, mean (SD) for diabetes duration = 11.79 (7.34) years. Across 18 -months, linear mixed model analyses controlling for confounders found the least square mean (SE) of HbA1c improved significantly from 7.62 % (0.06 %) to 7.53 % (0.06 %) for all, and from 9.25 % (0.09 %) to 8.52 % (0.11 %) among those >= 8 % at baseline. Parallel improvements were found among all for SBP, DBP, PHQ-8, diabetes distress, and, among those elevated at baseline for all outcomes. EQ-5D showed significant but modest increase from baseline to 18 months. No significant reversals between 12 and 18 months were found except for LDLc. Supporting robustness of findings, patterns were similar across age, diabetes duration, and gender. Conclusions: Relative to the fundamentally progressive nature of diabetes, it is striking that improvements associated with PS were generally sustained after program support ended.
