Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic disease; it can cause serious complications. Diabetes
self-management is essential for prevention of disease complications. This study was
conducted to evaluate self-management promotion educational program intervention
efficiency among diabetic patients in Iran and health belief model (HBM) was applied as a
theoretical framework. Materials and Methods: Overall, 120 Type 2 diabetic patients referred
to rural health centers in Gachsaran, Iran participated in this study as randomly divided into
intervention and control group. This was a longitudinal randomized pre- and post-test series
control group design panel study to implement a behavior modification based intervention to
promotion self-management among diabetic patients. Cross-tabulation and t-test by using
SPSS statistical package, version 16 was used for the statistical analysis. Results: Mean age
was 55.07 years (SD = 9.94, range: 30-70). Our result shows significant improvements in
average response for susceptibility, severity, benefit and self-management among intervention
group. Additionally, after intervention, average response of the barrier to self-management was
decreased among intervention group. Conclusion: Our result showed education program
based on HBM was improve of self-management and seems implementing these programs
can be effective in the and prevention of diabetes complications.
