Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore psycho-social interventions for patients with diabetes and to suggest the effects of such interventions based on findings from systematic review and meta-analysis. To date, many types of psycho-social interventions for patients with diabetes have been conducted, indicating that self-management, self-efficacy, glucose control, diabetes distress, and quality of life can be improved after psycho-social interventions. As the most frequently used psycho-social interventions, cognitive behavioral therapy, behavior change techniques, motivational interviewing, and self-care interventions have been introduced and their effectiveness on psycho-social outcomes and disease control have been indicated. Recent studies have conducted technology-based psycho-social interventions for patients with diabetes, focusing on glucose control. Future studies are required to conduct multidisciplinary interventions based on a multilateral and integrated approach to continuously manage and monitor disease.
