Resources-Oriented Salutogenic (ROS) Intervention for Pre-diabetes

Summary

This pilot randomized control trial (RCT) is to assess whether the newly developed resources-oriented intervention is feasible and acceptable to people with pre-diabetes and has preliminary efficacy on sense of coherence (SoC). The research questions are: 1. What are the key components (available resources and their utilization skills) of Resources-Oriented Salutogenic intervention in Chinese pre-diabetes population? 2. What are the feasibility and acceptability of ROS intervention among pre-diabetes population in China? 3. What is the preliminary efficacy of ROS intervention on improving sense of coherence, coping strategies, perceived stress, health literacy, and HbA1c on Chinese pre-diabetes population?

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria: Subjects are those with pre-diabetes and low or moderate level of sense of coherence.

1. prediabetes diagnosis: Pre-diabetes app score \>= 8, considered as 'pre-diabetes' or 'at high-risk of diabetes'; then, HbA1c test result within 5.7% to 6.4% will be diagnosed as prediabetes.
2. low or moderate SoC level: SoC-13 scale score \<= 74.
3. Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese) or English and live in China,

Exclusion Criteria:

Participants will be excluded if they:
