Introduction

Diabetes is a common and costly disease. Nursing care services, not only are effective in reducing costs but also improve the quality of life and the relationship between the patient and the nurse. The aim of this research was evalution of telephone nursing Follow-up effects on self-efficacy in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Hamadan.

 

Materials and Methods

In this Clinical Trial study, 58 type 2 diabetic patients who met the inclusion criteria were recruited in Hamadan diabetes center by simple sampling. Patients were divided into two groups using block randomization. Data were collected using demographic and disease information questionnaire and Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES). Intervention in the experimental group was done by telephone nursing for 12 weeks in which phone calls were made during the first month (twice a week) and the second month (once a week). Phone nursing content included emphasis on diabetic diet, timely medication use, insulin injection, recreation and exercise, self care, stress management techniques, communication skills training, and more. The average duration of the call was 10-15 minutes on each call, and the time of phone call was agreed between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Patients were told that telephone nursing is free so patients could contact the researcher by phone or text if they had any questions. It should be noted that the patients in the control group received only the follow-up and routine care of the Hamadan diabetes center. Finally, the data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 19 software. 

 

Results

Findings of the study showed that the mean of self-efficacy in both groups before intervention was not statistically significant (P=0.15). After training the intervention group, the mean self-efficacy at one and two months after treatment was significantly improved compared to the control group (P<0.001).

Discussion

Due to the chronic nature of diabetes, the patients suffering from this desiease need a lot of educational interventions. Nurses are among the providers of health services who know both up-to-date and scientific information about diabetes and their mission is to care.
Today, technology and topics called e-learning are considered as an effective method in many parts of the world and its use is highly recommended in chronic patients. In fact, nursing is the use of technologies such as mass media and information technology to improve nursing services despite the physical distance between the nurse and the patient (33).
In terms of self-efficacy in the management of diabetes, the results of this study showed that the level of self-efficacy in the management of diabetes in people in various cases including assessing blood sugar levels, examining lower limbs such as legs, doing personal work and diet control increased in individuals after intervention compared with before. To assess the relative extent of this increase, the group of patients received a questionnaire related to self-efficacy in the management of diabetes in relation to the goal of studying once after one month of training and again after two months of training. Findings showed that following continuous follow-up and training, patients can significantly manage their condition. Comparison of the results of self-efficacy in diabetes management after one month of training with the rate after two months of training showed that the average self-efficacy in diabetes management after two months increased significantly compared to the first month of training.
 In their study, Trief et al. (2009) investigated the effect of telenursing on patients' glycemic index and self-efficacy in diabetes management. In this study, remote intervention was able to significantly improve self-efficacy in the management of diabetes and glycemic index of patients. Also in this study, patients with higher self-efficacy in diabetes management had better glycemic indexes and better blood pressure control and eating habits. In fact, self-efficacy in diabetes management as a predictor could have a positive effect on other variables (36).
Zakerimoghadam et al. (2008) in their study examined the effect of telenursing on ​​the rate of adherence to a diabetic diet in patients with type 2 diabetes. The results of their study showed that after the intervention between the experimental and control groups, there was a statistical difference in diet adherence and the independent t-test after the intervention showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that nurse telephone follow-up leads to improved adherence to diabetic diet and reduction of glycosylated hemoglobin in patients with type 2 diabetes (38).
According to the results of this study and previous studies, it can be concluded that in addition to timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment, improving the treatment process and prevention of diabetes largely depends on the will of the individual in self-management and related behaviors. 


 

Conclusion

The results of this study showed that nurse telephone follow-up (telenursing) training and follow-up of the nurse in the intervention group compared with the control group improved self-efficacy in the management of patients' diabetes. Also, the self-efficacy in managing diabetes in patients two months after the intervention was clearly higher than one month after the intervention.
