Each resultant search combination was paired with an indicator of an adherence-promoting intervention (e.g., adherence, compliance, blood glucose monitoring interventions) and an indicator of glycemic outcomes (glycemic control, A1C).
Secondary outcome measures were: a. perceived effect, using a seven-point Likert scale; b. postoperative medication use (amount; type being standardised); c. satisfaction with treatment, on an 11-point Likert scale; d. satisfaction with treatment result, on an 11-point Likert scale; e. adherence to treatment protocols and use of CPM (in hours); f. quantity, duration and nature of PT intervention.
Potential mediators (e.g., adherence, depression, physical activity and caloric intake) of the intervention effect on weight change will also be examined.
According to self-determination theory, support from health care practitioners can promote patients' autonomous motivation and greater long-term behavioral persistence (e.g., adherence to physiotherapists' recommendations).
It also seems important to combine objective measures (e.g., adherence to clinical guidelines) with subjective measures such as patient satisfaction and continuity of care [ 38].
For cumulative calculations (e.g., adherence during the pre-intervention or intervention period), the missing month's data were excluded and the cumulative indicator was calculated using 5 months of EDM data.
We will also use GLMM to examine the influence of baseline variables and the degree of participation (e.g., adherence and the actual carrying out of the components of the intervention) in weight reduction and behavioral changes.
It is imperative to design and conduct studies with a better methodology and better reporting (e.g., adherence to Prisma [ 49]) and to look for better evidence of the actual impact of resilience-promoting programs.
These trials did not have parallel measures of the constructs assessed by the SMP-T2D (e.g., adherence, self-efficacy, barriers, etc).. Clinical assessments in both studies included clinician-reported BMI and the biomarker A1c.
When means and SDs were reported for more than two groups (e.g., adherence scores for low, intermediate, and high depression), we based our effect size calculations on comparisons between the two most extreme groups.
Studies also evaluated the impact of CM interventions on process measures (e.g., adherence to disease monitoring protocols such as getting the recommended number of cholesterol tests in eligible populations).
