Abstract
Examining the effects of a comprehensive health education programme combined with village health volunteer monitoring support on older people with osteoarthritis of the knee who are overweight and have type 2 diabetes is the goal. Methods: A two-group, quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was used. Older persons who matched the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups using random geographic cluster sampling, with 62 being the intervention group and 71 being the control group. A thorough health education programme and a support programme for village health volunteers were given to the intervention group. Only the full health education programme was given to the control group. Blood sugar levels, knee discomfort and range of motion, body weight, physical capacity (Timed Up and Go Test), weariness, depressive symptoms, sleep quality, and quality of life were all evaluated as study outcomes.
