Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (T2DM) is a chronic disease that will be suffered for life, so it is necessary to provide education to patients and families so that it is easy to understand the course of the disease, prevention and obstacles in the management of T2DM. Family empowerment can be started by optimizing family functions to help patients with T2DM to adapt and comply with self-care actions through four dimensions, empathic (emotional), encouragement (reward), facilitative (instrumental), and participatory (participation). This systematic review aims to identify and evaluate the effect of family empowerment interventions on self-care for T2DM patients.
Methods: The database used for article searches consisted of EBSCO, PubMed and ProQuest using relevant keywords based on the topic and title of the study. The selection of articles used the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) diagram method, the overall results were 2,635 articles and 8 articles that fit the inclusion criteria and were analyzed descriptively narrative and had met the methodological quality study according to JBI guidelines (Joanna Briggs Critical Appraising Methodology).
Results: 8 articles with the Family Empowerment Process Model intervention program and the Diabetes Mellitus Education Program which is a family-oriented program that includes education classes, group discussions, home visits, and telephone follow-up. Education is provided to families through direct discussion and through telephone calls with a duration of each call of approximately 15 to 20 minutes scheduled for 9 am to 12 noon. Follow-up was done by telephone in the intervention group for approximately 3 months to 12 months.
