Not Applicable

• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus

• Registration Number: NCT02974413
• Lead Sponsor: Universidade Estadual de Maringá

Brief Summary

This research project has the main objective to analyze the benefits of self-care supported for adult men with Diabetes Mellitus. Treat yourself will randomized-controlled clinical study, randomized cluster to be developed with men aged between 40 and 70 years who have type 2 diabetes and are registered with the Health Strategy teams of the Municipality of Family Maringa. The recruited subjects will be randomly allocated into two groups: intervention group and control group.

The follow-up will take place for six months and will be collected information: socioeconomic, demographic, behavioral health, complications, laboratory and anthropometric. It is intended, through this study, demonstrate the effectiveness of this type of intervention, user-centric, on the health of men with DM, reinforcing this option of choice for professionals and users within the Primary Health Care (PHC).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Glycemic control	Baseline and six months	Change in glycemic control between baseline and six months: should be determined by the values of glycated hemoglobin, which will be compared between the two moments (baseline and six months).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Self-care attitudes	Baseline and six months	Self-care attitudes: measured from QAD questionnaire ( Self Care Questionnaire in Diabetes). For the analysis of adherence to the questionnaire items, they will be parameterized in number of days per week, from zero to seven, zero being the least desirable and seven to more favorable situation, with the exception of items the size specific power that question assessing the consumption of foods rich in fat and sweets, for which the values are reversed, Ie in relation to these foods, the higher the score, or the number of days, the less desirable it is. It will be evaluated by the average number of days. comparisons will be made between the beginning and at the end of the intervention.
Self-efficacy (or Empowerment)	Baseline and six months	Self-efficacy (or Empowerment): measured from the self-efficacy scale in diabetes - short version (EAD -VC). The questionnaire addresses the training for the care of diabetes. Eight statements for which the respondent demonstrate their level of agreement, using a Likert scale of five points that part of "strongly disagree" (one point ) to" strongly agree" (five points). The overall score is calculated by the average of the scores of each of the eight items. It is considered high a score of 3.8-5.0, an average of 2.4-3.7 and low at 1-2.3. comparisons will be made between the beginning and at the end of the intervention.
Psychological adjustment	Baseline and six months	Psychological adjustment: We used the ATT -19 instrument, which contains 19 items and describes the emotional responses of the DM. Each statement is answered with the help of a kind of scale Likert five points, from " Strongly disagree" to" Strongly agree". TTA -19 Apontuação will 19-95 points. To achieve a positive attitude about DM, the user needs to achieve a minimum score of 70 points. comparisons will be made between the beginning and at the end of the intervention.
Knowledge about diabetes	Baseline and six months	Knowledge about diabetes: test was used which has a total score of 15 points, addressing the knowledge of the DM. The DKN-A is associated with psychological, hypoglycemia, insulin, food groups, replacement of food, DM management and general principles of care of the disease. To show a satisfactory knowledge of the DM, the user needs to do at least 8 points. comparisons will be made between the beginning and at the end of the intervention.
Clinical indicators of cardiometabolic control	Baseline and six months	Clinical indicators of cardiometabolic control (Blood Pressure, Body Fat Percentage, CA, WHR, BMI, weight, fasting glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Creatinine Plasma). comparisons will be made between the beginning and at the end of the intervention.
Height	Baseline and six months	Height in meters (m), measured by portable stadiometer.
Weight	Baseline and six months	Weight in kilograms (kg), measured by means of a portable scale.
