About this trial

This study aims to examine the effects on diabetes self-management, health fatalism and metabolic parameters of individuals with type 2 diabetes. The study will be conducted in a health institution between February 2025 and May 2025 and participants will be assigned to experimental and control groups by simple random sampling method. The experimental group will be trained with motivational interviewing techniques based on the health belief model for 8 weeks, followed by sending reminder SMS for 4 weeks. The control group will receive no intervention. The study is expected to improve the self-care behaviors of individuals with diabetes by creating positive effects on diabetes management and health fatalism.

(-Blood Glucose Management Subscale= BSM-1+ BSM-2+ BSM-3+ BSM-4) (-Health Services Utilization Subdimension= SHK-1+ SHK-2+ SHK-3+ SHK-4) (-Diabetes Self-Management Scale score=SMDI Subdimension+CSM Subdimension +SCC Subdimension.) There are no reverse items in the scale. High scores indicate good self-management, low scores indicate and poor self-management. The minimum score that can be obtained from the Type 2 self-management scale is 19 and the maximum score is 95.
