Aim:
To examine the effect of training provided to type 2 diabetes patients according to the theory of planned behavior on self-efficacy and patient empowerment.
Methods:
This study, pre-test-post-test active control group single-blind experimental design, was conducted in the internal medicine outpatient clinic of a state hospital between April and October 2023. Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention group (IG; n = 45) and control group (CG; n = 47). The intervention group received a theory-based training program consisting of 5 sessions lasting approximately 40 min. each. Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale, Patient Empowerment Scale and the patient's laboratory results were used for data collection.
Results:
In the study, while the posttest self-efficacy and patient empowerment scores of the intervention group increased compared to the pretest, there was an decrease in HbA1C level. On the post-test measurements between groups, self-efficacy and patient empowerment scores were higher and effect sizes were higher in the intervention group, while no difference was found in HbA1C values.
Conclusion:
The training program provided according to the theory of planned behavior in diabetes patients provides positive contributions to disease management.
