About this trial

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by impaired carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolism, resulting from a deficiency of insulin hormone secreted by the pancreas and/or the body's inability to utilize it even when sufficient insulin is secreted. As a frequently observed chronic disease, diabetes is a significant public health problem; if left uncontrolled, it can lead to serious complications and negatively impact quality of life.Individual management of treatment is crucial for successful treatment and glycemic control in diabetes. Due to the complexity of diabetes management related to insulin use, diabetics require greater self-care skills. Nurses play a crucial role in developing desired self-management behaviors in individuals with diabetes, supporting them, and meeting their needs.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Education

    Behavioral

    Patients will be informed about the importance of rotation and needle tip changes in diabetes management, and will receive training on injection technique, rotation technique, frequency of rotation, and the importance of needle tip changes using a mannequin. Patients will be reminded of the rotation plan and changes with each injection, and rotation training will be provided using a chart with visually colored rotation zones and written markings. Each patient consultation will last approximately 30-45 minutes. Patients will be given an educational booklet prepared with expert opinion. Communication with patients will be clear and understandable. Patients' questions will be answered after the training.

Insulin therapy self-management scale

The Insulin Therapy Self-Management Scale is a tool used to assess the knowledge and skill levels, as well as positive and negative attitudes, of individuals with diabetes regarding insulin therapy.The Insulin Therapy Self-Management Scale is a scale used to assess the knowledge and skill levels and positive and negative attitudes of individuals with diabetes regarding insulin therapy. This scale was developed in 2019 by Karahan Okuroğlu and colleagues. The scale consists of 32 items with a three-factor structure, scored using a five-point Likert scale. The behavioral subscale comprises 17 items scoring between 17 and 85. The cognitive subscale comprises 7 items scoring between 7 and 35. The affective subscale comprises 8 items scoring between 8 and 40. Items in the affective subscale, and the item "I do not inject insulin myself," are analyzed using reverse coding due to their negative connotations. An increase in scores across all subscales indicates an increase in self-management l
