Description
Summary:The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of telephone interventions as a strategy for glycemic control in adult Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. An integrative literature review was undertaken in April and May 2011 through surveys in the Cochrane, PubMed/Medline, Lilacs and Cinahl databases. Nine studies complied with the inclusion criteria, mainly randomized controlled clinical trials. Concerning the time period analyzed in each study, it varied from eight weeks to twelve months. 1294 patients participated in the study, being 671 randomized to telephone follow-ups and 479 to usual care. In eight studies analyzed, glycemic control was based on the levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). The information found showed that the interventions are effective for glycemic control in patients who have type 2 Diabetes. Self-management was improved and possible complications of the disease were reduced. El objetivo fue analizar la eficacia de intervenciones que usan el teléfono como estrategia para el control glucémico de adultos con Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2. Se trata de una revisión integrativa llevada a cabo de abril a mayo de 2011 a través de la búsqueda en las bases de datos Cochrane, PubMed/Medline, Lilacs y Cinahl. Nueve estudios cumplieron los criterios de inclusión, prevaleciendo entre ellos los ensayos aleatorios y controlados. Mientras al seguimiento, hubo variación de ocho semanas a doce meses. Participaron 1.294 pacientes, 671 aleatorios para seguimiento telefónico y 479 con atención habitual. El control de la glucemia fue determinado por niveles de hemoglobina glucosilada (HbA1c) en ocho estudios analizados. Las informaciones que se encontraron señalaron que las intervenciones son efectivas en el control glucémico de pacientes con Diabetes tipo 2. El autocontrol estuvo mejorado y la reducción de las posibles complicaciones de la enfermedad fue potencializada. Objetivou-se analisar a eficácia de intervenções que utilizam o telefone como estratégia para o controle glicêmico de adultos portadores de Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2.
