Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The experimental group submitted to the telephone intervention will have significant improvement of self-care in diabetes when compared to the control group.;The average scores of the questionnaire of Self-care in Diabetes (ESM) showed that the experimental group showed a gradual improvement in the course of time T0, T3 and T6, being respectively 3.52 ± 0.71, 5.20 ± 0.94 and 5.53 ± 0.80. As for the control group at the same times, shows an improvement of the average score from T0 to T3 (3.55 ± 0.76 to 4.34 ± 1.10), however, the T3 to the T6 there was a decrease in the average score of the same group (4.10 ± 1.18). With 95% confidence, the average effect in the Experimental group was 1.03 to 1.78 points greater than in the control group.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
As in addition to applying the questionnaire via telephone, the experimental group will receive the telephone intervention, expect a time of contact between professional/largest user in this group compared to the control group.;For the secondary outcome analysis data were collected from number of call attempts as well as their duration, during both cycles of the study. The control group maintained an average of approximately 6 minutes of duration of telephone calls and the average number of attempts the next 2 times compared the 2 cycles (1 cycle = 1.84 ± 1.18 and 2nd cycle = 1.83 ± 1.32). For GE, the contact time during the calls in the 1st cycle was 12.56 (± 4.67) minutes and in the 2nd cycle of 12.04 (± 6.31) minutes. The number of retries of connections was approximately 2 times in both cycles (1 cycle = 2.15 ± 1.44 and 2nd cycle = 2.20 ± 1.64).
