Interventions were generally effective on behavior change and patients ’ glycemic control in the short term ( ≤9 months ) .
Conclusions The limited studies available suggest that diabetes self-management education programs in developing countries are effective in the short term but must be tailored to conform to the cultural aspects of the target population
Purpose Although self-management education is a key factor in the care for diabetes patients , its implementation in developing countries is not well documented .
This systematic review considers the published literature on diabetes self-management education in high and low mortality developing countries .
The aim is to provide a state of the art of current practice s and assess program outcomes , cultural sensitivity , and accessibility to low literate patients .
The Effect of Educational Program Based on BASNEF Model for Eye Care in Non-insulin Dependent Diabetic Patients.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of educational program based on the BASNEF ( Belief , Attitude , Subjective Norm , and Enabling Factors ) Model on eye care among patients with insulin independent diabetes mellitus in Shiraz City , Fars Province , Iran . METHODS We enrolled 100 patients with non-insulin independent diabetes mellitus ( Type II ) fulfilling the inclusion criteria of this experimental study . The participants were r and omly divided into two groups , one experimental , and one control group . All groups completed the question naires based on the BASNEF Model , a checklist related to patient 's practice including patients ' HbA1c and FBS levels , the pre-test results of an ophthalmologist 's eyes examination and the results of three months follow-up . The experimental group participated in eight educational sessions during the interventional . The data analysis used including chi square-test , t-test , and ANOVA . RESULTS The knowledge and all BASNEF Model components were significantly increased in the experimental group compared to the control group after intervention . In addition , behavioral eye care , such as physical activities , regular taking medicine , having eye examination , FBS checking , having appropriate diet , HbA1c level , and fasting blood sugar levels improved significantly among the experimental group compared to the control group . CONCLUSION Applying the BASNEF Model is very effective for developing an educational program for diabetic patients , in order to control their blood sugar and enhancing behavioral eye care . Besides such programs , follow up education on controlling and monitoring is highly recommended
Interventions were generally effective on behavior change and patients ’ glycemic control in the short term ( ≤9 months ) .
