The TELE-DD Project: a Nurse-led Randomised Controlled Trial on Treatment Adherence in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Comorbid Depression
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Telephone Intervention Group for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Depression. Completed, enrolled 428 participants.
Detailed Summary
Patients with diabetes have higher depression rates, impaired QOL and increased mortality rates due to complications and comorbid depression. Nurse-led, telephonic-based, and psychoeducational interventions have separately proved to improve disease prognosis and emotional distress in diabetes, but no study has integrated previous research findings with collaborative care and strong methods centred in treatment adherence outcomes. The Telephonic Monitoring on Diabetes and co-morbid Depression (TELE-DD) Project includes a three-phased population-based cohort study and nurse-led randomised controlled trial. The proposed intervention, based on monthly structured telephone calls, unifies proved techniques like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioural therapy and patient's healthy behaviours education. The integration in the TELE-DD Project of previous clinical research and a robust epidemiological dual design, will improve treatment adherence and further prognosis in patients with type 2 diabetes and comorbid depression through maximising clinical outcomes improvement, while guaranteeing cost-effectiveness and the long-term sustainability of findings translation to PC clinical practice services and public health programs.
