Purpose of education: Empowerment as a philosophy of care emphasizes a collaborative approach to facilitating behavior change for patients themselves. Empowerment approach; Goal setting is a five-step process that provides patients with the knowledge and clarity they need to develop and achieve their diabetes and lifestyle goals. The first two steps are to identify the problem and identify patients' beliefs, thoughts, and feelings that may support or hinder their efforts. The third step is to determine the long-term goals expected from patients. In this step, patients are then expected to make a behavioral change that will help them achieve their long-term goals. The last step is for patients to evaluate their efforts and determine what they have learned in the process. Empowerment training was determined within the framework of this process.
