Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of SMS-based teaching versus face-to-face teaching in enhancing self-care behaviors among type 2 diabetes patients in Khorramabad, as self-care can help reduce disease complications.
- In a pre- and post-test design, 135 diabetic patients were randomly assigned to three groups: face-to-face training, SMS-based training, and a control group with no intervention; assessments were made using various questionnaires.
- Results showed significant improvements in self-efficacy, self-care behaviors, and blood sugar levels in both the face-to-face and SMS-based groups compared to the control group, suggesting that educational interventions can effectively empower diabetes patients in managing their health.
