Aim: Encouraging patients to improve their self-management behavior based on a strict definition of the intervention is important for a standardized delivery but, until recently, there was no consensus on the core attributes that define such an intervention. The purpose of this study is to generate a core-attribute based and stakeholder-informed problem-based curriculum for promotion of type 2 diabetes self-management structured around five core attributes derived from a previous concept analysis that defined the intervention.

Methods: Using a Delphi process for consensus achievement, physicians, clinical epidemiologists and allied health care professionals completed eleven rounds of online meetings over 6 months.

Objectives: Diabetes self-management educational (DSME) interventions can vary considerably, and it is unclear what is the operational conceptualization of the ideal delivery to individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Design: From a search conducted concurrently we extracted and evaluated the 50 most recently published DSME intervention studies. Based on an analysis of these studies, we undertook a concept analysis using the Walker and Avant framework.

Aims: Attributes that operationally conceptualize diabetes self-management education (DSME) interventions have never been studied previously to assess their impact on relevant outcomes of interest in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim of this study was to determine the impact of existing interventions classified by their delivery of skills or information related attributes on immediate (knowledge), intermediate (physical activity), post-intermediate (HbA1c), and long-term (quality of life) outcomes in people with T2D.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Library/Cochrane CENTRAL as well as the grey literature were searched to identify interventional studies that examined the impact of DSME interventions on the four different outcomes.
