BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) studies report that marital/family support relates to glycemic control, adherence and quality-of-life. Yet, there are few reports of couples-focused interventions. PURPOSE: To describe the challenges faced and lessons learned in the implementation of a theoretically-based, couples intervention. METHODS: 350 couples (one partner has T2DM in poor glycemic control) are randomized to a couples intervention, individual intervention, or enhanced usual care. All contacts are by telephone, to increase reach. OUTCOMES: medical (e.g. glycemic control), psychosocial (e.g. diabetes distress), and behavioral (e.g. regimen adherence). Challenges in recruitment, assessment and intervention with couples are described, with suggestions about how to address them. RESULTS: Findings concerning the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the couples intervention, its effect on partners, and possible mechanisms of demonstrated changes, are anticipated in 2013. CONCLUSIONS: Interventionists need specific skills to work with couples to promote communal coping and increase the likelihood of an efficacious couples intervention. |
