Application of Information-Motivation-Behavioral Model-based Continuity of Care on the Peri-implantitis Recovery in Diabetic Implant Overdenture Patients

Diabetes Clinical Trial

Official title: Application of Information-Motivation-Behavioral Model-based Continuity of Care on the Peri-implantitis Recovery in Diabetic Implant Overdenture Patients: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators recruited 32 diabetic IOD patients with a total of 110 problematic implants who had completed the treatment for peri-implantitis between January 2021 and March 2023 as research subjects. The patients were randomly assigned to the control group or the experimental group using the random number table. The control group received routine postoperative medical advice, whereas the experimental group was given an IMB model-based continuity of care.

Clinical Trial Description

Continuity of care involves a series of actions designed to ensure that patients undergoing a transfer from different health care settings (e.g., from hospital to home) or within the same setting (e.g., different units in the hospital) receive different levels of collaborative and continuous care, including discharge planning, referrals, and continuous follow-up and guidance after the patient returns home . It encompasses the roles of both provider and receiver. Patients who actively participate will receive more substantial treatment. Additionally, a retrospective cohort study has shown that continuity of care is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease risk among individuals with type 2 diabetes. Another prospective cohort has shown that the application of continuity of care in the dental field enhances oral anticancer therapy adherence. The information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model, first proposed by Fisher, is composed of three elements-information, motivation, and behavioral skills-and is aimed at transferring patients' behavior into a positive direction, including self-behavior management ability, medication compliance and so on. For diabetic patients with poor adherence, the IMB model of care can be considered. This model may be particularly useful in diabetic IOD patients since they are more prone to peri-implantitis than patients with other types of implant restorations or non-diabetic patients. However, the efficacy of the combination of the IMB model and continuity of care in improving healing, bone resorption, disease management and control, and quality of life in the specific population group of diabetic IOD patients remains unclear. To this end, the current study was aimed at investigating whether this model of care can help achieve better clinical outcomes and improve patient satisfaction with the services provided, thereby obtaining data to serve as a reference and scientific basis for the improvement of intervention plans. ;
