Objective: To study the nursing efficacy of health management based on family and organization on elderly diabetic patients.
Methods: We collected clinical data from 126 elderly diabetic patients treated in our hospital from March 2018 to March 2019. The patients were divided into a control group and a study group by random number table method, with 63 cases in each group. The control group adopted routine nursing intervention, while the study group adopted the family and organization health education model. We compared the nursing intervention effects of the two groups and evaluated psychological states, blood glucose and quality of life.
Results: After nursing intervention, the study group's nursing efficacy and blood glucose volatility indexes were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05). There were significant differences between the SAS and SDS scores of the two groups before and after treatment (P<0.05). Both groups' life quality scores were significantly higher after nursing intervention (P<0.05), and the study group's score was much higher (P<0.05). After nursing intervention, the study group's blood glucose level was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The family and organization health education model is satisfactory in elderly diabetic patients. It can effectively improve patients' medication compliance, reduce the incidence of hypoglycemia, boost patients' quality of life and psychological states, and stabilize blood glucose.

Objectives: Authentic patient and family engagement in child health research is defined as researchers working in partnership with patients and families on all aspects of the research process, including refining the research question, tailoring the intervention, devising study procedures and disseminating study findings. While there is good evidence of a positive impact of patient engagement on the research process, on research teams and on patient partners, there are few empirical data on the impact of patient and family engagement on research quality and dissemination. We conducted a systematic review to compare research quality and dissemination metrics for paediatric randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that engaged patients and families in the research process with trials that did not.
