Abstract:

Objective

To observe the effects of mobile health management model based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) theory on blood glucose control, self-management ability, hospital satisfaction, and readmission rate in diabetic foot patients.

Methods

Eighty-two patients with diabetic foot who were hospitalized in the Department of Hand Surgery at Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, from June 2021 to December 2022, were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 41 cases in each group. The control group received standard care during hospitalization and post-discharge phone follow-up. The observation group underwent mobile health management based on the IMB theory. The intervention effects were compared between the two groups in terms of blood glucose levels, self-management ability, hospital satisfaction, and readmission rate at 6th month after discharge. The summary of diabetes self-care activities (SDSCA)was used to evaluate the self-management ability of the patients.

Results

At 6th month after discharge, the observation group showed lower fasting blood glucose [(6.32±2.58)mmol/L] and glycated hemoglobin [(6.02±1.86)%] than the control group [(8.72±2.51)mmol/L, (7.28±2.11)%], the differences were statistically significant (t=-4.276, -2.855; P<0.05). SDSCA score was higher in the observation group (23.63±2.37) than that in the control group (18.07±3.36), showing statistical significance (t=-8.645, P<0.05). Additionally, the patient′s satisfaction in the observation group was 95.12%, compared to 75.61% in the control group. Within 6 months after discharge, the readmission rate in the observation group was 7.32%, significantly lower than that in the control group (24.39%). There were statistically significant differences in patient′s satisfaction and readmission rate between the two groups (χ2=6.248, 4.479; P<0.05).

Conclusion

The mobile health management model based on the IMB theory can improve blood glucose levels, increase self-management ability and patient′s satisfaction, and reduce readmission rate in patients with diabetic foot.
