- The study aimed to assess the impact of an education-based intervention to improve vertical integration and management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in primary care in rural China. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in three townships in Jingjiang county, Jiangsu Province were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. Participants in the intervention group received an education-based intervention. Patients’ data including the fasting blood glucose (FBG) level, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and sociodemographic characteristics were collected at baseline (2015) and follow-up (2016). The FBG levels decreased significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group in the overall analysis. In the stratified analysis, FBG levels and some aspects of HRQoL improved in the intervention group more for females, married persons, those with low education, and those in farming or house working. Participants in the control group deteriorated in FBG levels but improved in some aspects of HRQoL. The intervention improved in FBG levels and some aspects of HRQoL among participants. Furthermore, the intervention seemed to differentially benefit females, married persons, lowly educated persons, and those in farming or house working more than other groups. (Trial registration: ISRCTN, ISRCTN13319989. Retrospectively registered 4 April 2017).

- This study assessed the impact of an educational intervention on the knowledge, attitudes, and practice regarding Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) of Primary Health Care (PHC) professionals, as well as on the types of T2DM care services which they were able to provide. The intervention was carried out in collaboration with county hospitals. The study was conducted from 2015 to 2016 among 241 health care professionals in 18 township health centers and 55 village clinics in three counties in Jiangsu Province, randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group. Participants in the intervention group received professional skills training sessions and team communication and were involved in regular meetings. The control group followed the routine work plan. At one-year follow up, the diabetes knowledge score, practice score, and attitudes score were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group. A significantly higher proportion of health care professionals in the intervention group was able to provide services compared with the control group, for all types of services, except T2DM emergency treatment. The intervention among health care professionals in PHC had a positive impact on their professional diabetes skills, knowledge, attitudes, practices, and types of services they were able to provide, at one-year follow-up.
