Abstract
People with cardiac disease who have type 2 diabetes have higher readmission rates (22%) than those without diabetes (6%) (Wu & Chang, 2008). Although self-management is an effective approach to achieve better health outcomes, there are no such programs specifically designed for patients with both conditions. Such programs need to be enhanced by user-friendly technology and supported by patient peers. This project aims to extend the development of a peer support based Cardiac-Diabetes Self-Management Program (CDSMP) by preparing a DVD to support persons' engagement in follow-up study.
