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 Health Belief Model Educational Program and Jogging on Control of Sugar in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Background Research ers believe that most of diabetic patients are not necessarily aware of the role of exercises , especially jogging in controlling their disease . The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of educational program and jogging based on health belief model ( HBM ) on sugar control in type 2 diabetic patients . Methods One hundred diabetic ( type 2 ) patients were involved in this prospect i ve quasi-experimental interventional study . Patients were r and omly divided into two groups of experimental and control . Data was collected using a question naire based on the HBM model , a check list for patient`s practice s and a check list for recording the patient`s hemoglobin ( HbA1C ) and fasting blood sugar ( FBS ) levels . Results Our findings indicated that after intervention , there was a significant difference between the mean score of the HBM model variables ( susceptibility , severity , benefit and perceived obstacles , ) in the experimental group compared to the control group . Additionally , behavioral jogging , level of HbA1C and FBS levels improved significantly among the experimental group when compared to the control group . Conclusion Applying the HBM model was found to be a very effective means for developing an educational program of jogging for diabetics , in order to control their blood sugar
