Empowerment based Health Coaching for Patients with Diabetes Type II
Coaching lecture series "Coaching - Research and Practice"
Dr. Ayse Basak Cinar
Dr. Ayse Basak Cinar, MSc in Behavioral Science, PhD from the University of Helsinki, internationally accredited coach (ICC), assistant professor at the Department of Odontology, KU.
Health Coaching (HC), a new patient-centered approach for transformation and maintenance of positive health behaviors, is directly associated with positive lifestyles (smoking cessation, obesity- and diabetes management). However, there is not any research on the impact of HC as a common health promotion approach at diabetes- and oral health management. What makes such a common approach so important? There is a bilateral interrelation between periodontitis and poor diabetes control. Diabetics are more likely to have periodontitis than those without. The aim of the presentation is to:
1. Explain what HC is and how it can be used as a common health promotion approach.
2. Discuss the results of Phase I (Turkey) of an international research study at the University of Copenhagen, which aims to assess the impact of HC on diabetes- and oral health management.
3. Share our expectations about Phase II (Denmark): That there will be similar results as in Turkey; significantly higher improvement of biological markers (HbA1c, periodontitis) and lifestyle (stress, physical activity) in the coaching group compared to the education group (http://videnskab.dk/kort-nyt/forskere-motiverer-diabetespatienter-til-sundere-taender).
