Обзор

Participants will receive a structured education program designed to improve self-care behaviors, emotional well-being, and confidence in managing their condition. The program includes mindfulness practices, diabetes self-management education, and supportive group sessions.

The findings of this study are expected to contribute to improving patient-centered care and supporting individuals with type 2 diabetes in managing their health more effectively.

Подробное описание

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that requires continuous self-management, including medication adherence, lifestyle modification, and emotional coping. Many individuals experience diabetes-related difficulties, reduced motivation, and challenges in maintaining long-term self-care behaviors. Mindfulness-based approaches have been shown to improve emotional regulation, stress management, and self-efficacy in individuals with chronic illnesses.

This study is designed as a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based self-management education program in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive a structured program consisting of mindfulness practices, diabetes education, and group-based support sessions. The control group will receive usual care.

Primary outcomes include diabetes-related difficulties and patient empowerment. Secondary outcomes include self-care behaviors, emotional well-being, and perceived quality of life. Data will be collected at baseline and after completion of the intervention using validated assessment tools.

This study aims to provide evidence on whether integrating mindfulness into diabetes self-management education can improve both psychological and behavioral outcomes, thereby enhancing overall diabetes care and patient well-being.
