Abstract

Objective: This study aims to determine the effects of blended self-management training on the knowledge and self-care behaviors of patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and methods: One hundred people with diabetes participated in this randomized clinical trial and were randomized into two groups based on the block randomization method (block size = 4). The experimental group (31 men) received a three-hour training workshop plus an education course through a designed website. The control group (32 men) received routine training, which included receiving pamphlets. Researchers used diabetes knowledge and self-care behaviors tools in both groups before and two months after the completion of the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16 statistical software. Results: Findings showed self-care behaviors in all dimensions (p <0.001) and knowledge (p < 0.001) in experimental group increase by blended education. Conclusions: The findings indicate that blended training is associated with positive effect on self-management and diabetes knowledge for people with diabetes. So blended training program is highly recommended to improve treatment adherence, with low medical costs for patients. © 2023 Via Medica. All rights reserved.
