About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a self-efficacy-based educational program on glycemic self-monitoring, diabetes self-management knowledge, and health-related quality of life among adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving the educational program or a control group receiving standard care.

Read full original descriptionShow less

The educational program is designed to enhance patients' confidence (self-efficacy) in managing their condition, including blood glucose monitoring, adherence to treatment, lifestyle modification, and self-care practices. Outcomes will be assessed using validated tools to measure improvements in self-monitoring behaviors, knowledge, and quality of life.

The findings of this study are expected to provide evidence on the effectiveness of educational interventions in improving diabetes management and patient outcomes.

The 2 groups in the trial

  • Self-Efficacy Educational Program GroupsTreatment being tested

    Participants in this arm will receive a structured self-efficacy-based educational program designed to improve glycemic self-monitoring, diabetes self-management knowledge, and health-related quality of life among adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The intervention is based on self-efficacy theory and focuses on enhancing patients' confidence in performing diabetes self-care behaviors. The program is delivered through structured educational sessions conducted by trained healthcare professionals. It includes interactive lectures, group discussions, demonstrations, and practical training covering blood glucose self-monitoring, medication adherence, dietary management, physical activity, and prevention of diabetes-related complications. Educational materials such as printed handouts and visual aids are provided to reinforce learning. The intervention is delivered over a defined number of sessions within a specific timeframe.

    Treatment: Self-Efficacy-Based Educational Program

  • Control GroupExisting treatment, for comparison

    Participants in this arm will receive standard routine care for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus as provided in usual clinical practice at the healthcare facilities. This includes regular follow-up visits, general medical advice, and standard education related to diabetes management as offered by healthcare providers. No structured or additional self-efficacy-based educational program will be provided to this group. Participants will continue their usual care without any additional intervention from the research team.
