Effect of Education Based on The Health Belief Model on Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes

Effect of Education Based on The Health Belief Model on Health Beliefs, Self-Efficacy and Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes

This research will be carried out with a randomized controlled experimental design to examine the effect of education based on the Health Belief Model for individuals with Type 2 Diabetes on their health beliefs, self-efficacy and healthy lifestyle behaviors. During the research, the relevant polyclinic will be visited regularly. The patients who are followed up in the outpatient clinic for type 2 diabetes will be evaluated in terms of sampling eligibility criteria and their willingness to participate in the research will be questioned. The patients to be included in the study will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups using the random sampling method. In determining the sample size, two groups, intervention and control, were compared using the "G*Power v3.1.9.4" program. Effect size (d) = 0.80, type I margin of error (α) = 0.05, minimum sample volume to provide test power (1-β) = 0.90, total 68 (experimental group 34, control group 34) is sick. However, it is planned to recruit 20% more patients (41 experiment, 41 control) in order to increase the power and reliability of the research, and there may be losses in the research process. In the collection of research data; Introductory Characteristics Information Form, Diabetes Health Belief Model Scale, Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale and Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-II will be applied.

Experimental: Intervention Patients will be given links to training videos once or twice a week depending on the length of the training module for 6 weeks. At the 6th week, the Diabetes Patients Health Belief Model scale, the Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale and the Healthy Lifestyle Scale-II will be administered as an interim measure. Health Belief Model scale in Diabetes Patients, Self-Efficacy Scale in Diabetes and Healthy Lifestyle Scale-II will be applied to the patients at the 12th week as the last measurement.

No intervention will be taken against the patients. At the 6th week, the Diabetes Patients Health Belief Model scale, the Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale and the Healthy Lifestyle Scale-II will be administered as an interim measure. Health Belief Model scale in Diabetes Patients, Self-Efficacy Scale in Diabetes and Healthy Lifestyle Scale-II will be applied to the patients at the 12th week as the last measurement.

After the intervention, it is expected that the scores of the patients on the healthy lifestyle behaviors scale will increase.

Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale II Score Change from Baseline Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale II Score at 12 weeks

Change in perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers scores at 12 weeks
