Evaluating Intensive Versus Standard Education for Managing Dyslipidemia in Adults with Hypertension and Diabetes Aged 30 to 80

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate intensive dyslipidemia management and education for patients with hypertension and diabetes, conditions that often increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The study seeks to improve blood lipid levels and assess how enhanced education affects patients quality of life, health behaviors, and adherence to treatment. It also aims to contribute to the development of more effective management strategies through a structured and standardized approach. Participants are divided into two groups. The intensive care group receives two hours of group education on diabetes, high blood pressure, and lipid disorders delivered by a nurse and nutritionist, with follow-up education at three months and brief phone call education at two and four months. The standard care group receives one hour of group education on diabetes and high blood pressure only. Large group sessions led by doctors use a dialogue-oriented lecture format to engage participants. Throughout the six-month study, researchers will monitor changes in blood lipid levels, blood pressure, HbA1c, quality of life, and lifestyle habits using questionnaires and clinical measurements. Assessments occur at baseline and after six months. The study evaluates the cost-benefit impact of intensive education and aims to inform public health policies and national guidelines for managing dyslipidemia in chronic disease patients.
