Motivational interviewing, based on Pender's Health Promotion Model (HPM), significantly improved diabetes self-management behaviors in Type 2 diabetes patients. This intervention offers an effective approach to enhance patient self-care.
Area of Science:
- Health Promotion
- Behavioral Science
- Endocrinology
Background:
- Type 2 diabetes requires consistent self-management for effective control.
- Pender's Health Promotion Model (HPM) provides a framework for understanding health-promoting behaviors.
- Motivational interviewing is a counseling approach aimed at behavior change.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of motivational interviewing, guided by Pender's HPM, on diabetes self-management behaviors.
- To assess the effectiveness of this intervention in individuals diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
Main Methods:
- An intervention group received weekly 30-45 minute motivational interviews for three months, alongside routine care.
- A control group received only routine care.
- Diabetes self-management behaviors were measured using validated scales and sub-dimensions.
Main Results:
- Statistically significant differences (p < .05) were observed between the intervention and control groups.
- Improvements were noted in both the total scores and sub-dimensions of the self-management scales.
Conclusions:
- Motivational interviewing, grounded in Pender's HPM, is an effective strategy for improving diabetes self-management.
- This intervention is practical and easy to implement for developing and sustaining self-care behaviors in Type 2 diabetes patients.
