Objective:To investigate and analyse the current status of screening and management of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in six provinces and cities in China.Methods:The qualitative research method of focus group interview was adopted, based on the semi-structured interview outline, the clinical medical and disease control personnel in Tianjin, Chongqing, Gansu, Hubei, Heilongjiang, and Guangdong were interviewed. The interview transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis, and MAXQDA analysis software was used for data management and analysis.Results:A total of 6 interviews were conducted with 49 interviewees. Forty respondents (81.6%) claimed that DKD screening was critical; 53.1% think that it was not easy for patients to obtain DKD screening services; 40.8%, 26.5% and 14.3% of the people believed that the technology of DKD screening services was moderate, simple or very simple, respectively. Of the respondents,16.3% thought that the cost of DKD screening service was relatively expensive, while 83.7% thought that the cost was inexpensive; 75.5% of the respondents believed that the patients could receive early DKD screening service. The factors of fully implementing medical reform policies, changing concepts and actively serving patients, and integrating external resources in medical and health institutions at all levels and of all types were conducive to the development of DKD screening and management services. The lack of technology and personnel for DKD screening services at the grassroots level, the lack of trust in the service capabilities of grassroots medical institutions by patients, the low level of patient awareness, and the novel coronavirus infection epidemic had an adverse impact on the development of DKD screening and management services.Conclusion:The screening and management services for DKD are relatively limited in China, and there is a significant fragmentation in the management and care of diabetes and DKD.

Objective:To analyze the changes in self-efficacy and its influencing factors in type 2 diabetic patients after community-based self-management group intervention.Methods:From August to November 2014, a 3-month community-based self-management intervention study of type 2 diabetes patients was implemented in Fangshan District, Beijing. 510 patients were recruited through posters, household inquiries and telephone notification and then were randomly divided into intervention group (260 patients) and control group (250 patients). Finally, 500 patients completed the study, including 259 in the intervention group and 241 in the control group. Self-efficacy score was measured through face-to-face interview at different time points, including pre-intervention, post-intervention, 2 years after the intervention and 5 years after the intervention, respectively. A two-level random coefficient model was fitted to analyze the long-term trend of self-efficacy and its relationship with group intervention.Results:Individual-level educational attainment, disease duration as well as their treatment plans had a positive correlation with self-efficacy of type 2 diabetic patients while gender and age did not affect their self-efficacy. Patients with junior middle school education, senior high school education and university and above education had 4.66 ( P<0.05), 6.40 ( P<0.05) and 11.02 ( P<0.05) points higher than those with primary education, respectively. The self-efficacy of diabetic patients increased by 0.23 ( P<0.05) for each additional course year. The effect of treatment plan on self-efficacy was mainly reflected in the self-efficacy of taking medication or insulin injection as prescribed and blood glucose monitoring. After controlling for the confounding factors, i.e., gender, age, disease duration, educational attainment, and treatment plan, self-efficacy scores at the post-intervention increased in both groups compared to those at the pre-intervention. The intervention group had 7.95 points higher than the control group ( P<0.05). After the intervention, the self-efficacy scores of both groups decreased year by year while the intervention group declined faster, with 5.41 points ( P<0.05) at 2 years after the intervention and 8.94 points ( P<0.05) at 5 years after the intervention. Conclusion:Community-based self-management group intervention could improve the self-efficacy of type 2 diabetic patients while the self-efficacy decreases year by year in the absence of follow-up intervention.

Objective:To analyze the mortality level and trend of chronic and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among elderly residents aged 65 and over in China from 2004 to 2018, and predict the age-standardized mortality rate of NCDs from 2019 to 2023.Methods:Data on resident death was collected from the National Mortality Surveillance data set and used to analyze the unstandardized mortality rates, age-standardized mortality rates, composition ratios and changing trends of NCDs among different genders, urban and rural areas, and geographical regions in China during 2004 to 2018. The age-standardized mortality rates were calculated based on the Year 2010 Population Census of China. The Joinpoint Regression Models were fitted by the weighted least squares method. The average annual percent change (AAPC) and its 95% confidence interval for the entire time period were calculated. Log-linear models were used to predict age-standardized mortality rates.Results:From 2004 to 2018, the age-standardized mortality rates of NCDs decreased from 4 697.05 per 100 000 to 3 555.35 per 100 000, with an average annual decline of 2.0% (95% CI: -2.7%- -1.3%). The age-standardized mortality rates among different genders, urban and rural areas, and regions showed a downward trend. The age-standardized mortality rates of eastern region (AAPC = -2.1%, 95% CI: -2.8%- -1.3%) and central region (AAPC = -2.8%, 95% CI: -3.4%- -2.1%) fell faster than that of western region (AAPC = -0.8%, 95% CI: -1.8%-0.2%). The proportion of deaths caused by NCDs increased from 89.82% to 91.41%, with an average annual increase of 0.1% (95% CI: 0.1%-0.2%). Expected to 2023, the age-standardized mortality rates for male (3 906.23 per 100 000) will be significantly higher than female's (2 708.43 per 100 000); and that in rural areas (3 283.20 per 100 000) will be approximately equal to that in urban areas (3 250.01 per 100 000); the gap of age-standardized mortality rate between the western (3 782.48 per 100 000), eastern (3 037.01 per 100 000), and central region (3 249.24 per 100 000) will be further increased. Conclusion:From 2004 to 2018, age-standardized mortality rates of NCDs of the elderly residents in China showed a downward trend, and the proportion of deaths of NCDs showed an upward trend. Male and the western region elderly residents should be the key population for prevention and control of chronic diseases in the future.

Objective:To evaluate the quality of the National Demonstration Area for Comprehensive Prevention and Control of NCDs (referred to as "the Demonstration Area").Methods:Based on the evaluation scores of the Demonstration Area field survey from 2017 to 2019, we counted the scores of each indicator, comparing the scores among indicators and regions. x± s was used to describe the scores. The 95% CI of the score was used to test the statistical difference among regions. Each score was converted into a hundred-mark system to compare the scores among indicators. Results:Of 236 Demonstration Areas, the total score was 83.5. The scores of the first-level indicator listed from high to low appeared as Integrating System of NCD Prevention and Control (92.8), Policy Perfection (90.3), Building Supportive Environment for NCD Prevention and Control (88.4), Implementation of Health Education and Health Promotion (87.4), Whole-course Management of NCDs (78.1), Innovation and Guidance (76.5), Surveillance and Evaluation (75.1). Total scores were higher in the east (259.2±18.8) comparing to the middle (243.2±15.2) or the west (245.4±19.7) regions.Conclusions:Substantial variations on the quality in the Demonstration Area existed across different regions in China. These disparities are important to the government when developing health policies and allocating resources. Whole-course Management of NCDs, Surveillance and Evaluation, and Innovation and Guidance in the Demonstration Area also needs to be improved.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of a community-based intervention supporting type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in their self-management of the disease. Methods: This research was a randomized controlled trial conducted in communities in Fangshan District, Beijing, China. Adult patients with type 2 diabetes from 17 communities in 4 sub-district of Fangshan District were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. Participants in the intervention group participated in a three-month group-based diabetes self-management intervention service. Data were collected both in intervention and control group at baseline and after the intervention to evaluate the effect of the intervention. A questionnaire survey was completed by all participants to collect their demographic information, diabetes related health behaviors and skills. A physical examination and lab testing including height, weight, blood pressure, and waist circumference as well as HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, lipid profile were conducted before and after the intervention. Results: A total of 500 valid questionnaires were received, including 259 in the intervention group and 241 in the control group. Patients in the intervention group who learned how to conduct the self-monitoring of blood glucose increased from 56.76% (n=147) to 87.26% (n=226) after the intervention, higher than that of control group (63.07%, n=152) (P<0.001). 69.50% (n=180) patients in intervention group had blood glucose monitor at home, which was 60.62% (n=157) prior to the intervention and higher than that of control group (57.68%, n=139) (P=0.004). After the intervention, 3.09% (n=8) patients in intervention group ceased to take medicine by themselves, which was 16.22% (n=42) before the intervention, while the control group was 8.30% (n=20) after the intervention (P=0.009). Patients in the intervention group made significant improvements in implementing self monitoring on blood glucose (SMBG), which was increased from one day per week to 2 days per week, and foot self-examination, which increased from 2 days per week to 7 days per week. The body weight of patients in the intervention group reduced 1.62 kg on average after the intervention, while it increased 0.88 kg in the control group. Similar improvement was found in waist circumstance between the intervention and control group (-0.83 cm vs -0.16 m). There was a significant reduction on body weight and waist circumstance in the intervention group (P<0.05). Conclusion The group activities focusing on people with type 2 diabetes resulted in improvement in their lifestyle and self management behaviors, as well as their body weight and waist circumstance.

Objective To understand the'backward'provinces and the relatively poor work among the construction of National Demonstration Area,so as to promote communication and future visions among different regions.Methods Methods on Cluster analysis were used to compare the development of National Demonstration Area in different provinces,including the coverage of National Demonstration Area and the scores of non-communicable disease (NCDs) prevention and control work based on a standardized indicating system.Results According to the results from the construction of National Demonstration Area,all the 29 provinces and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (except Tibet and Qinghai) were classified into 6 categories:Shanghai;Beijing,Zhejiang,Chongqing;Tianjin,Shandong,Guangdong and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps;Hebei,Fujian,Hubei,Jiangsu,Liaoning,Xinjiang,Hunan and Guangxi;Shanxi,Jilin,Henan,Hainan,Sichuan,Anhui and Jiangxi;Inner Mongolia,Shaanxi,Ningxia,Guizhou,Yunnan,Gansu and Heilongjiang.Based on the scores gathered from this study,24 items that representing the achievements from the NCDs prevention and control endeavor were classified into 4 categories:Manpower,special day on NCD,information materials development,policy/strategy support,financial support,mass media,enabled environment,community fitness campaign,health promotion for children and teenage,institutional structure and patient self-management;healthy diet,risk factors on NCDs surveillance,tobacco control and community diagnosis;intervention of high-risk groups,identification of high-risk groups,reporting system on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events,popularization of basic public health service,workplace intervention programs,construction of demonstration units and mortality surveillance;oral hygiene and tumor registration.Contents including oral hygiene,tumor registration,intervention on high-risk groups,identification of high-risk population,reporting system on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events,popularization of basic public health service,workplace intervention programs,construction of demonstration units and mortality surveillance were discerned as the relatively weak areas in the construction programs of National Demonstration Area.Conclusions Western regions,especially in some remote provinces had the poorest performance during the construction of National Demonstration Area.Programs regarding chronic disease surveillance,identification and intervention on high-risk groups showed the lowest scores and these outcome-oriented tasks should be further focused on,during the next term of review,in these areas.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the status quo and influence factors of self monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and self-efficacy of diabetes patients' that participated in community diabetes self management group.

METHODSBeijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Jiangsu, Guangdong, and Zhejiang were selected as the study sites considering patients management experiences they had. 1 401 adult diabetes patients were recruited from communities via health records system screening, telephone notification, poster advertisement, letters invitation ways. Face to face questionnaire survey was applied to obtain patients' general information, diabetes history, diabetes knowledge awareness, SMBG, and self-efficacy information. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between factors and self efficacy.

RESULTSThere were 519 male patients (37.0%) and 882 female patients (63.0%) with an average age of (64.9 ± 8.9) years old. Patients lived in city accounted for 48.0% (672/1 401) and rural patients accounted for 52.0% (729/1 401). Patients who conducted SMBG accounted for 79.9% (1 120/1 401) and 33.3% (446/1 401) patients conducted blood glucose monitoring 1-3 times per month. Rural patients, primary school educated, and new rural cooperative medical system (NCMS) covered patients had a higher proportion of never conducting SMBG which were 21.9% (160/729), 24.2% (160/662), and 26.3% (125/475) , respectively. Scores of self-efficacy was (69.24 ± 16.30) (hundred-mark system) with a relative lower score in monitoring of blood glucose (64.09 ± 20.08) and foot care (63.63 ± 21.40), as well as a highest score in taking medicine and insulin injections (76.10 ± 22.00). Multiple regression analysis on self-efficacy and its related factors show a negative correlation between patients' place of residence and self-efficacy (β' = -0.076) and a positive correlation between education and self-efficacy (β' = 0.114) as well as between diabetes knowledge awareness and self-efficacy (β' = 0.193)(t = -2.46, 3.71, 7.18, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONCommunity diabetes patients had a low self-efficacy and it was even lower among low economic and education degree patients. The worst parts were SMBG and foot care. Place of residence, education, and diabetes knowledge awareness are factors that influence patients' self efficacy.
