Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Due to the intervention it will come to an improvement of the metabolic state, the quality of life, the sleep quality, the autonomic regulation (aR), the rest/activity regulation, and the self-regulation (SR). The improvement of the metabolic state will be captured by determination of HbA1c at day of study inclusion , after 9 weeks of interventions and at the end of the interventions (at the end of the study) and by determination of further parameters (S-insulin, S-glucose (HOMA index), adiponectin, LDL-C, HDL-C, Non-HDL-C, TG, total cholestorol, blood pressure, heart rate and actigraphy) at day of study inclusion and after the interventions (at the end of the study). The sleep quality will be determined by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and life quality by General quality of life questionnaire (SF-12) at day of study inclusion, as baseline at the first day of the study (before start of interventions), and after the interventions (at the end of the study). The autonomic regulation and the rest-/activity regulation will be collected by 18-item Trait autonomic Regulation questionnaire, self-regulation by 16-item self-regulation questionnaire at day of study inclusion and as baseline at the first day of the study (before start of interventions), after nine weeks of interventions, and after the interventions (at the end of the study). Additionaly further parameters will be captured at particular time points.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
In the course of this study the new developed questionnaire to the Inner Congruence with the Modeling Therapy (ICModThe) should be validated.
