The Effect of Theory-Based Education on Patient Empowerment and Self-Efficacy in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

It is essential to manage the disease to prevent and reduce complications and mortality in patients with diabetes. Adequate information and options should be provided to patients by healthcare providers so that patients can make informed choices. Patient education is a patient empowerment process designed to enable patients to be responsible for their health. With this study, it is considered essential to educate diabetic patients according to the theory of planned behavior and to develop self-efficacy by contributing to patient empowerment in this way.

Treatment and study plan

Application of The Theory of Planned Behaviour for Diabetes

Behavioral

In the study, diabetes education consisting of a total of 4 sessions structured according to the Planned Behavior Theory will be applied to the intervention group, and a standard diabetes education consisting of a single session containing information about diabetes on the website of the Ministry of Health will be applied to the control group. The training will be given face-to-face in groups of 10-15 people. After the training, the participants will be monitored for 3 months. To increase patient empowerment and self-efficacy, the intervention group will be followed up by phone calls every 15 days to increase motivation and answer questions.

  1. Patient Empowerment Scale

    Time frame: 2 weeks

    The scale consists of 37 items in total. Scale is graded in a 5-point Likert type, and in total, the lowest 37 and the highest 185 points are taken. There is an opposite item in the scale. This applied to individuals over the age of 18 who receive long-term care services.
