Effectiveness of Family-Involved Interventions for Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Year: 2026
Type: data-paper
Abstract: This project presents a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the effectiveness of family-involved diabetes self-management interventions for older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The review focuses on randomized controlled trials involving explicit family or caregiver participation and evaluates clinical, behavioral, and psychosocial outcomes. The study follows PRISMA 2020 guidelines and the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Primary outcomes include glycemic control (HbA1c), with secondary outcomes encompassing self-care behaviors, medication adherence, diabetes self-efficacy, and family support. The protocol was developed a priori and preregistered on OSF to enhance transparency and reproducibility. Risk of bias is assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 tool, and certainty of evidence is evaluated using the GRADE approach. All materials related to this review are openly available through this OSF project.
