About this study

Official title: Effect Of Diabetes Coaching on Diabetes Self-Management, Glycoslated Hemoglobin and Diabetes Distress Level in Indıviduals With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Study

This research is a randomized controlled, experimental study planned to evaluate the effect of diabetes coaching on diabetes self-management, glycosylated hemoglobin and diabetes distress levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

The research is planned to start on 01.01.2024. Participants will be divided into experimental and control groups using the block randomization method. Participants in the experimental group will first receive 8 sessions of diabetes coaching every 10 days after the chemistry interview. No intervention will be made to the control group. The preliminary implementation of the research will be carried out with 4 individuals with diabetes who voluntarily accept participation and meet the inclusion criteria. Data will be collected by face-to-face interview method. Data will be analyzed with IBM SPSS V23 program.

Read the detailed description

Diabetes is a chronic and metabolic disease that develops when the body cannot secrete enough insulin or the cells cannot use insulin as they should, causing damage to many tissues and organs. It is estimated that there are 537 million adults aged 20-79 in the world with diabetes and this number will reach 783 million in 2045.

Diabetes distress, which is one of the most common mental concerns in individuals with diabetes, makes it difficult to achieve glycemic control, paves the way for the development of diabetes complications and reduces the quality of life. Diabetes distress also causes an increase in the risk of mortality and morbidity. One of the best ways to prevent or reduce diabetes distress is to provide self-management skills and support.

In recent years, health coaching has attracted attention in many countries for improving patients' self-management and providing the necessary behavioral change.

In this study, the effect of coaching intervention applied to individuals with diabetes on diabetes self-management, HbA1c and diabetes distress will be investigated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Diabetes coachingBehavioural

    Diabetes coaching intervention will be provided to the participants in the intervention group by the researcher, who is a specialist nurse who has received 140 hours of Level 2 Professional Coaching Training and 20 hours of diabetes coaching training. Since each individual's needs and values will be different, diabetes coaching interventions will be tailored specifically to the individual by the researcher within the general coaching framework, but by taking into account the individual's views, awareness, needs and current situation regarding self-management regarding diabetes. This flexibility, which supports the individual-specific approach within the coaching paradigm, is among the key elements in the success of coaching interventions (43). The individual will determine the coaching agenda according to his/her own needs.

Intervention GroupExperimentalDiabetes coaching will be provided to experimental group participants. In this study, one chemistry interview and eight diabetes coaching meetings are planned to be held. Interviews will be conducted in accordance with the standards of the GROW technique, which is based on a scientific framework. Interviews will be held every 10 days, via a video-free phone call, and will last between 45-60 minutes.

Control GroupNo interventionDiabetes treatment and care of the participants in this group will continue routinely, and no additional intervention will be performed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Scale

    This scale was developed by Koç and Özkan to evaluate self-management in type 2 diabetics and is a 5-point Likert type ("Always=5", "Often=4", "Sometimes=3") , "Rarely=2", "Never=1"). The sub-dimensions of the scale, which consists of a total of 19 questions; "Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors" (11 items), "Use of Health Services" (4 items) and "Blood Sugar Management" (4 items). The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 95 and the lowest score is 19. As the score obtained from the scale increases, diabetes self-management increases. The Cronbach alpha value of the scale was calculated as 0.856 (37)

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Diabetes Distress Scale

    The Diabetes Distress Scale is a 17-item, 6-point Likert type scale developed by Polonsky et al. in 2005 to evaluate diabetes-specific distress. The scale consists of four subscales: emotional burden, doctor-related distress, treatment-related distress, and interpersonal distress. Each question in the scale is scored between 1 point and 6 points, and the scale evaluates the distress experienced by the individual in the last month (40). The validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Çakıllı et al. in 2015, and the α value was found to be 0.88 for the entire scale and 0.90 for each of the subscales. The average total score of the scale is calculated by dividing the total score of the answers given to the scale by 17. A score of 3 points or higher suggests the presence of distress. Score calculation for the sub-dimensions is obtained by dividing the total score of the answers given to the questions by the number of questions in that section (40,41)

    Measured: 3 months

  2. HbA1c Monitoring Form

    This is the form created to monitor the HbA1c values of individuals with diabetes before and after the application and to follow the changes (Annex 3). HbA1c is a routine test evaluated every three months in the follow-up of individuals with diabetes. Individuals will be included in the study if they have HbA1c tests within the last 10 days when they come to the Family Health Care, otherwise they will be included in the study when they have the test done on a date suitable for routine control.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Introductory Features Form

    The form was prepared by the researcher by conducting a literature review and consists of a total of 23 questions (32,34,37-39). In this form, in the first section; Questions about age, gender, education level, marital status, perceived income level, who the individual lives with, smoking and alcohol use, and the presence of chronic diseases. In the second part, there are questions about diabetes; duration of diabetes diagnosis, type of diabetes treatment, status of receiving diabetes education, HbA1c value measured in the last 10 days, presence and types of complications due to diabetes, regular use of diabetes medications, how diabetes care is carried out, status of receiving diabetes education (from whom, training subject , when it was taken, etc.) are included

    Measured: 3 months
