Official title
Evaluation of the Effect of Nurse Coaching Program on Self-management and Skin Care Behaviors in Patients With Diabetes: a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Overview
This research will be conducted in a pre-test-post-test randomized controlled, single-blind experimental design to evaluate the effects of a nurse coaching program on self-management and skin care behaviors in patients with diabetes. The key question(s) it aims to answer are: * Does the nurse coaching program have no effect on self-management behaviors and skin care behaviors in patients with diabetes? * Does the nurse coaching program have no effect on self-management behaviors and skin care behaviors in patients with diabetes?
Detailed description
The study will be conducted in the internal medicine units of Mut State Hospital in the Mut district of Mersin between January 2025 and June 2025. An average of 100 patients with type 2 DM apply to the hospital per day. According to Cohen's effect size coefficients; it was decided to include 21 people (N=42) in the groups, assuming that the evaluations to be made between two independent groups would have a large effect size (d=0.8; large) according to the calculations made. The consents of 42 type 2 DM patients who constitute the study group of the experimental research will be obtained. After the preliminary tests are performed, a series of random numbers will be generated by an independent statistician and 21 will be assigned to the intervention group and 21 to the control group using the simple randomization method.
Personal Information Form, Diabetes Self-Management Scale, and Skin Care Behavior Monitoring Form will be used as Data Collection Tools. In addition, the "Diabetes Education Booklet" designed and prepared by the researchers will be used as an intervention material in the research study.The follow-up of the implementation process will be recorded with the MSF and KBIF prepared by the researcher.Before starting the research, 3 measurements will be taken at week 6 and week 12. The data collection process of the research will be completed by using face-to-face training opportunities in the first 6 weeks and reminders (message, phone call, etc.) in the following periods. The control group will receive standard training and the same measurement tools will be used.
Interventions
- Behavioral training
The diabetes education booklet is a collection of information designed by the researcher. These interventions will continue for 1.5 months, with a total of 6 sessions for each type 2 DM individual, lasting approximately 120 minutes (2 hours per week and 12 hours in total after 6 weeks), and will be carried out as reminders afterwards. In these sessions, agendas will be created appropriately on regular eating habits, physical activity, regular monitoring of blood sugar, compliance with treatment,
