Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in coping with stress

This scale will be administered twice before and after the intervention to determine the patients' coping methods with stress. The scale consists of three sub-dimensions: problem-focused coping (8 items), social support-focused coping (7 items) and avoidance-focused coping (8 items). The scale consists of a total of 23 items, 20 of which are positively worded and three items (items 10, 17, 20) are negatively worded. A score of 23-115 can be obtained from the whole scale. The higher the score obtained from the whole scale and subscales reflects the tendency of the person to use the relevant ways of coping with stress.

State of Well-Being Change

The scale consists of 5 items containing 5 positive statements about the participant's emotions in the last 2 weeks. Each item is evaluated on a 6-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0-5; a score of 0 indicates no positive emotions in the last 2 weeks, while a score of 5 indicates continuous positive emotions. Raw scores are converted into a scoring scale between 0-10. A score below 50 indicates low mood.

Changing Strength and Difficulties in Diabetes

As a result of the factor analysis, the scale of strengths and difficulties in type 2 diabetes consisted of 3 sub-dimensions and 30 items in total. Each item in the scale is in 5-point Likert type and the minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 30 and the maximum score is 150. There are no reverse items in the scale. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates that the difficulties experienced by individuals with type 2 diabetes increase.
