About this study

The prevalence of dyslipidemia is high among patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, many patients lack awareness and adherence to treatment and lifestyle modifications. Therefore, a more structured and intensive approach to management and education is required. This study aims to implement intensive dyslipidemia management and education for patients registered at the Hanam City Hypertension and Diabetes Education Center and evaluate changes in blood lipid levels accordingly. Additionally, the study will analyze the impact of intensive education on patients' quality of life, health behaviors, and treatment adherence, ultimately contributing to the development of effective management strategies.

Interventions

• Other: centralized management and education group — If assigned to the test group (centralized management and education group), two instructors, one nurse and one nutritionist, will receive an hour of diabetes and high blood pressure 1:15, and will receive an hour of lipid disorder disease and impact 1:15 group education. You will receive a total of 2 hours of education, and you will receive 1 hour of lipid abnormality education conducted in 0 months through a visit in the third month. The dyslipidemia education was conducted in the form of 1:15 small group education or 1:87 group education, which was conducted in 0 months. In particular, the 1:87 form of large-scale education will be operated as a dialogue-oriented lecture that asks and answers questions, and will be conducted by doctors. And in 2 months and 4 months, education on diabetes, high blood pressure, and dyslipidemia will be shortened for 3 minutes through non-face-to-face management phone calls, not face-to-face.

Primary outcomes

• Change from Baseline in Total cholesterol, Triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol levels at 6 months (at baseline (pre-intervention) and at 6 months (after the intervention))
