Registration Number
NCT02594748
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

The aims of the study are as follows:

* To improve self-management intention and behavior of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2 DM).

* To promote patients to make plans for their self-management and gradually integrate the self-management plan into their daily life.

* To improve resilience, well-being, fatigue and quality of life of patients with T2 DM

In order to achieve the aims, we have set the following objectives:

* To develop and apply self-management education program based on the extended theory of planned behavior.

* To evaluate the efficacy of the educational program:

1. Self-management education program delivered face to face (intervention group); (b) standard usual care (comparison group).

Detailed Description

This study employs a quasi-experimental study design with an intervention and comparison group and follow-up of 3 months; there will be two measuring points (baseline and 3 months after the intervention) , and 9 measures.
