Abstract

Background: The families of diabetics are more likely to have diabetes. Therefore, paying attention to those households and seeking to change the way of life of those households can save diabetes to a high extent. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of cognitive-behavioral applications primarily based on interactive software on serum glucose levels and HbA1C of a family member of sufferers with kind 2 diabetes. Methods: In the present randomized clinical trial, families of diabetic patients meeting the inclusion criteria will be divided into intervention and control groups by simple random sampling. In the laboratory, 10 cc of blood samples will be taken from the participants for the tests of total cholesterol, triglyceride, fasting blood sugar, GTT, HDL-c, LDL-c, and HbA1c. Then, both groups complete the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Adolescence Food Habit Checklist, and Glover Nilsson Smoking Behavioral Questionnaire (GN-SBQ). The intervention group will provided with a training package of lifestyle change based on a cognitive-behavioral program in the form of an application during eight sessions of 45 min in 8 weeks. Then, the laboratory tests and questionnaires will be completed again 6 and 12 months after the intervention. Data will be analyzed using statistical tests. Discussion: If an application-based cognitive-behavioral program changes the lifestyle, serum glucose levels, and HbA1C, it can be recommended to families of diabetics. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
