What this trial studies
This quasi-experimental trial compares an online occupation-focused lifestyle program to a control condition in adults aged 18–74 with type 2 diabetes. The intervention consists of eight 60-minute Zoom sessions across five modules aimed at diabetes awareness, problem-solving, stress management, energy conservation, physical activity, and goal review. Outcomes focus on occupational performance, self-management, balance in daily activities, diabetes symptoms, and quality of life. The study uses online recruitment and self-reported data with a total planned sample size of 42 participants (21 per group).
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved daily functioning, better self-management of diabetes, and enhanced quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Occupational therapy–based lifestyle approaches have shown promise in improving daily functioning and self-management in chronic conditions, though similar trials in type 2 diabetes are limited.
