AI Article Synopsis
- The study compared a bilingual vocal education program with routine education to see its effect on self-efficacy in type 2 diabetes patients with visual impairments.
- A total of 90 patients were divided into two groups: one received the vocal education via MP3, while the other continued with standard care.
- Results showed a significant increase in self-efficacy and improved diabetes management indicators (like HA1C and FBS levels) for those who received the vocal education, suggesting a need for updated patient education approaches.
Article Abstract
The present study was carried out to compare a bilingual (Balouchi & Persian) vocal patient education program and routine education on patient's self-efficacy in type 2 diabetes patients suffering from visual impairments. This semi-experimental study was conducted on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) suffering from visual impairments. A total number of 90 participants were divided into two equal groups: 45 patients in the intervention group and 45 controls in the routine care group. A permuted block randomization (AB) using a random number generator by default was implemented to organize the two groups. One of the researchers collected the demographics and self-efficacy data through face to face interviews. The diabetes management self-efficacy scale (DMSES) was used for self-efficacy assessment. Patients in the intervention group received an MP3 Player including 90 minutes of vocal education. There were no significant differences in participants' demographic characteristics between the two study groups. However, a remarkable rise was observed in the self-efficacy score (P<0.0001) as well as HA1C and FBS levels among patients in the intervention group after vocal education (P<0.001). The findings of the present research suggest nursing and public health policy makers to reconsider their traditional patient education programs, particularly for diabetes patients with visual impairments among indigenous people.

: Research in typically and some atypically developing populations showed associations between early motor and communication development, documenting how postural development can support communicative advancements. However, these relations have scarcely been investigated in the preterm population. : The present study aimed to describe motor (gross and fine motor) and communication (receptive and expressive) skills of very preterm infants at six months of corrected age and their associations, focusing on sitting posture achievement and early vocal production.

Purpose: The aim was to determine and compare the short-term effects of two intensive semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT) programs, "straw phonation" (SP) and "resonant voice therapy" (RVT), on the phonation of children with vocal fold nodules.
Method: A pretest-posttest randomized controlled study design was used. Thirty children aged 6-12 years were randomly assigned to the SP group ( = 11), RVT group ( = 11), or control group receiving indirect treatment ( = 8) for their voice problems.
