| Abstract |
The efficacy of psychosocial intervention has been proven in treatment of diabetic patients with depression in some studies. This meta-analysis was conducted to explore the efficacy as well as additional effects of this method during diabetic management in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and comorbid depression. Electronic databases were searched from March 2000 to March 2017 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studying the effects of psychosocial intervention on T2DM patients with depression. There was no language limitation. Outcome measurements were symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as glycemic control. A random effects model was conducted. In total, 31 RCTs composed of 2,616 patients were eligible for this analysis. The psychosocial intervention was effective for depression symptoms with pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) of -1.50 (95% CI =-1.83, -1.18) and anxiety symptoms with SMD of -1.18 (95% CI =-1.50, -0.85). Meanwhile, the additional effects indicated a better improvement of glycemic control, including the fasting blood-glucose with SMD of -0.93 (95% CI =-1.15, -0.71), 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose with SMD of -0.84 (95% CI =-1.13, -0.56), and hemoglobin A1c with SMD of -0.81 (95% CI =-1.10, -0.53). These results demonstrate that the psychosocial intervention is very effective in treating T2DM patients with depression. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 October 2017.
All research outputs
#22,764,772
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment
#2,583
of 3,131 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#291,092
of 331,218 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment
#50
of 64 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,131 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,218 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 64 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
