- 소개/요약Aims: The aim of this study was to determine physical, behavioural and psychosocial effects of a newly developed mindfulness programme for older adults with type 2 diabetes relocating to long-term care facility. Background: Taiwan is viewed as an "aged society" with significant proportion of the population living in a long-term care facility. Approximately one third of residents living in long-term care facilities have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and disruption to management of their glycaemic levels is at risk for up to one year after relocating to a long-term care facility. Design: A cluster randomised controlled trial was used to examine the effects of a newly developed mindfulness programme on outcomes of glycaemic levels, relocation stress and depression. Methods: A total of 140 participants were recruited from six long-term care facilities in Southern Taiwan. A mindfulness programme was delivered over 9 weeks and consisted of meditations, education and exercise techniques that were delivered by a Registered Nurse trained in mindfulness strategies. Participants in the control group received routine care as provided in the facilities, including routine check-ups at diabetes clinics as necessary. Data were analysed by Johnson-Neyman technique and generalised estimating equations. Results: In total, 120 residents completed the study. The majority of patients were female (64.8%), and 83.5% of the sample were financially supported by their children. The results showed significant improvements in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), relocation stress (Wald χ2 = 78.91) and depression (Wald χ2 = 45.70) between groups. In the intervention group, the mean of HbA1c levels showed 16.4% reduction (Mean differences = 1.3; SD = 0.3). However, there were no significant differences in relocation stress and depression within groups. Conclusion: The results provided positive effects of the mindfulness programme for older people with diabetes moving into long-term care facilities. The programme will assist in future planning for diabetes care in long-term care facilities. Implications for practice: To incorporate the mindfulness program into existing diabetes education programs for older people living in LTCFs. Further investigation on the sustainability of the mindfulness program is warranted.
