Effectiveness of empowerment-based self-management interventions on patients with chronic metabolic diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

摘要

EBSMIs improved HbA1c test results, waist circumference, self-efficacy, and empowerment level in patients with chronic metabolic diseases. When implementing the EBSMIs, healthcare institutions need to provide training programs related to empowerment from which health professionals can acquire competence in patient empowerment. Moreover, healthcare leaders should assess and overcome barriers (e.g., time, manpower, cost, etc.) to implementing EBSMIs in clinical settings.
